Why the SKY Is Blue.

When you refer to the blue sky,
you really mean the blue rays in light,
which is a compound of many colors.
The blue of the sky Is mainly due to
particles floating in the air These
particles which consist almost en-
tirely OF the gases which constitute
the atmosphere itself. scatter and
break up the blue rays in light, with
the result that while the sky becomes
azure, the sun looks yellow.

NEW YORK, August 16.-The situa-
ton in the textile industries in this
section has improved materially. The
withdrawal from sale of denims by
one of the large producers followed
heavy business placed at low basis,
and this has had broad and bullish
influence in the general cotton goods
market. A cut of 35 cents a dozen in
the wholesale price of collars by
leading manufacturer at Troy, an
nounced today. is expected by retail
ers to stimulate sales materially. An
reduced prices on laundered collars to
$145 dozen. wholesale. In the heavy
weight wooden goods some recorders
are coming in, which mills can only
accept at the expense of spring busi-
ness.
Demand for steel in this section is
slowly but steadily increasing. Stocks
on hand are being worked off, and any
additional buying movement is ex-
pected to stiffen the market. The ad-
vance of Buffalo price for pig iron has
created better feeling in the market
for that commodity. Export ship
have been fairly heavy. Consumption
of gasoline in this section continues
to increase with no change in prices.
There has been a distinct gain in
building operations in this city. es=
pecially in the boroughs of Brooklyn
and the Bronx, and building material

materially to their orders for equip

Head of Southern Retail Merchants
Blames Reserve Banks for
Depression.

RICHMOND. Va, August 16.-"I am

HEAVY PAYMENTS
TO THE TREASURY
s157,oo0,o00 Certificate
Credits Called In-$45,-
100000 Due Thursday.
BY I. A. FLEMING.

National banks holding credits to
the account of the Treasury are pay
ing in some s157. 100000 today, being
20 per cent from proceeds of the sale
of certificates of August /, and the
balance from June Is certificate sale.
At the same time they have just re-
ceived a second call on the August
credits, this time being Is per cent
of the mainder, or about $4,000. 900,
this sum being payable on Thursday
of this week.
That these heavy Withdrawals,
coming so rapidly one after the other.
should not have any material effect
one way or the other on the money
market is an evidence of the abun-
dance of the supply and continued
restricted part played by money in
the midsummer business dullness
which still fingers. despite the near
approach of the fall months.
Moreover, rediScountS with federal
reserve banks are being liquidated
quite freely, and bankers very gen.
orally are predicting further reduc-
tions in discount rates as proba-
bility of the near future.
Last week the discounts Of the
New York Reserve Bank were re-
duced by s36,000,000. War paper,
which a year ago backed so54 ,o00,-
600 of discounts, is back Of but $14o.-
100000 at this time.
This represents to an assuring de-
gree the work of liquidation. which
is going on in lessened degree the
country over.
The Richmond regional bank of the
reserve system has not, as yet. re-
hl
per cent. but local bankers are con-
fident that the announcement Will be
made in the near future.
New York bankers express their
confidence in further reduction of
the discount rate of their institution,
confidently looking for a per cent
rate, which action will probably br
followed by the big reserve banks of
the east.
1t is reported that the governors of
the Bank of England contemplate
reduction in it's rate of discount.
Moreover, the reserves of the re-
gional banks are at the high point in
years. and this might suggest the
lowering of rates as an incentive to
increased business.
Arlington Fire Liquidation.
1t is stated that the Arlington Fire
Insurance will complete liquidation, as
authorized by the shareholders. with
in the current year, and that the pro
rata share of assets for the stockhold-
ers will be about s10-the par value
of the stock. This would justify the
action of the directors in turning down
an offer of ss share.

ceptionally high.
Vegetable prices. usually at the low
point at this time of year. are higher
than at any time this summer. In the
