(Detroit News.)


 The Orkney Islands do not really belong to Great Britain in the sense that they were eeded by treaty or acquired by conquest. They were simply transferred by Denmark to Scotland in 146S in pledge for the payi ment of the dowry of the Princess of Denmark, who was married to James III. King of Scotland.
 In the deed of transfer, which is still in existence, it is specially mentioned that Denmark shall have the right to redeem them at any future time by paying the original amount of the dowry with interests to date
 There is no lilxlihood however, that Denmark will ever attempt to exercise her right of redemption, because s275,- 900, the original amount of the dowry. plus the interest, would amount to con siderably more than the islands are worth today

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Aug 26.-Trading on the stock exchange today was influ- enced almost exclusively by President Wilson's attitude toward the railroad shopmen and his survey of current problems arising from living costs, wages and attendant conditions.
 Contrary to expectation in more than one quarter before the market opened Wall street accepted the presidents stand as highly favorable to the con- structive side of finance and backed thi sbelief by liberal buying of various issues, including many speculative shares.
 The presidents denial of the princi- pal demands of the shopmen and his appeal to public opinion constituted the expressing topic among bankers and railway executives. The general view was that these features would go far towards clarifying impeding labor diff
