THE MARKETS


New York, Aug. 22.-Further
liquidation and short selling of va
rious shares marked the opening
of the week on the stock exchange.
Many new low records for the year
were recorded.
Offerings for both accounts de-
rived fresh impetus from the sus-
pension of q prominent commission
house, whose embarrassment was
fastened, according to reports, by
severe shrinkage of market values
and failure of customers to meet
impaired margins.
Oils, motors, equipments, steels,
rubbers, tobaccos and numerous
issues of no definite description
sustained additional losses. Among
leaders these ranged from l to
POINTS but some obscure shares
suffered greater declines.
Rails resisted pressure until the
final hour, when Pacifics, grangerS
and coalers. as represented by Ca
madam Pacific. Northern Pacific,
Great Northern and Reading re-
acted 2 to points.
The outstanding feature of
weakness was Pierce oil preferred,
which made a net decline of IA
points. Mexican and Pan-Ameri-
can Petroleums, General Asphalt,
Royal Dutch. Shell Transport,
Houston and Cosden also eased
substantially.
other backward stocks included
Pierce Arrow, common and pre-
ferred, Sears Roebuck, Internation-
al Harvester, United States Rub
Der, international Paper. American
Sugar, General Electric. Westing-
house, Sumatra Tobacco. American
Wooden and Famous Players.
Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
Money rates for call and time ac-
commodations were unchanged,
but foreign exchanges again re-
acted. Sterling fell one cent and
continentals were lower by 2 to
10 points, the Copenhagen rate
proving the only exception at a
slight gain.
Virtually all Liberty issues we're
lower, especially the Shs, and the
generals bond list was disposed to
make irregular concessions, Cuba
Cane 6's were weakest of the for
eign division. Sales, par value,
$S,675, 600.

On American DYES

A MEXICAN MADE dyestuffs ere exactly
a the same as German products type for
type and color for color according to Elmer
c. Bertolct head of the chemistry and dye
ing department Of the Philadelphia Textile
School.
''The explanation of the general conception
of the inferiority Of American colors to those
manufactured abroad" he said, "lics wholly
IN understanding just what dyestuff is.
First, it is an organic chemical, a highly
specialized and complicated product. But at
the same time 1t has a definite constitution
which never varies, whether it Is manufac
tured in the United States, Germany, Japan
or at the South Pole. Remember that one
point and you have the explanation in
nutshell.
Type for type, color for color. the Amori-
can is absolutely the same as German. And
as for water used in German manufacture
containing some element which gives better
product, that is pure fiction.
Some Colors Standard
Another thing: There are thousands of
dycstufls, many of which do not lind very
wide application. Reds, for instance. Hun
drcdS are known and manufactured-bue
reds, orange reds, brilliant reds-some are
brilliant and others dull. Each has its def
mite constitution which never varies, no mat
ter where manufactured or whether the time
happens to be yesterday or will be next year.
thousands of tests have been made by
American manufacturers of their own prod
uctS against the imported color of the same
constitution. Our colors have in most in
stances proved to be equal and in many cases
superior.
Back in 1911 importation of foreign
made dycStuffS practically ceased. The
American industry at that time was manu-

A PROTOCOL WITH A MEANING

TWO subjects of ma jor international i'm
l. portancc are closely related to a brief
dispatch from Costa fiica announcing the
signature of protocol preliminary to n
treaty between that small republic and the
United States.
The dehnitivc pact when framed. and IL
favored with the Scnatc's approval, will
cede to the American Government certain
rights along the San Juan River and will
remove long, lingering obstacle to the
construction of another interoccanic canal
il the United States should ever deem such
an undertaking advisable.
That the idea is by no means fantastic Is
excmplfed in the persistence of this coun-
try in securing the necessary property rights.
The concessions from Nicaragua arc guar
antced by treaty negotiated several years
ago permitting construction Of the waterway
from tho Caribbean to the San Juan River
and from Lake Nicaragua to the Pacific.
Existing water routes will bo used for the
intervening distance. The great Central
American lake will. Of course. be utilized
and the San Juan River. As this stream
forms part of the frontier between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, the need Of obtaining
the sanction of the former republic is plain.
Although it Is somewhat staggering to
picture the Panama Canal as outmodcd, the
Government Is clearly resolved to take no
chances. The Nicaragua route would con-
siderably reduce the journey between At
lantic and Pacific ports of the United States
via Central America. and the existing deep
waterways would serve as an immense
initial asset.
The second significant feature Of the pro-
posed treaty is connected more intimately
with Central American affairs than with the
fortunes of the great neighbOr Republic in
the North. Nicaragua has abstancd from
from alleged fear that the process of alb
sorption would in some way invalidatc her
treaty with the United States.
The fact that this country is working
toward a somewhat similar arrangement with
Costa Rica is evidence that no such Conse-
ticipated. Costa Rica has already sgnifed
her Willingness to join the Union of Central
America. This is. of course, known in
Washington. which is none the less engaged
in preliminarios to pact with future
State of tho new nation.
This development is conceivably sufficient
to convince Nicaragua that she will not
jcopardize a treaty advantageous both to
herself and to the United States by partici-
pating in the federal program.
The birth of new nation and the possible
future construction of n new intcrocrapic
canal altogether remove the protocol approved
at San Jose from the class of diplomatic
trinCs

! A SOUND VETO

CPECIAL privilege gratis to the bcncf-
~ ciaries and diSprOpOrtionate expense to
the city are significant features Of the ordi
nance for widening Fifteenth street between
South Penn square and Chestnut street,
which has just been vctord by the Mayor.
The project. which would give to owners
of property now inaccessible to Fifteenth
street "A valuable frontage on the expanded
thoroughfarc, bears suspicious indications of
being Il pct measure. 1t is in n spirit of
watchfuuess that Mr.. Moore opposes the
program and not in the least because of ami
mostly to the obviously good general prin-
ciple Of street widening in Cramped and
crowded Philadelphia.
"The relevant facts" declared the Mayor
In his veto message. "shouId be more clearly
and definitely ascprtaincd. " This is un-
doubtedly the proper attitude to take regard
ing a program involving a cost to the city
of about 81 800. 900 in damages.
1t is worth emphasizing. moreover. that
the installation of n system Of arcadcs over
pavemcnts moved back to the line now ECld
by the office building between South Penn
square and Market street on Fifteenth street
would have the effect of widening the thor
oughfarc without necessarily ousting the
present property owners from the east side
Of the street.
SO far as public interest is concerned, it
Is evident that the scheme has not been
well worked out The suggestion of deal

matter of cheapness and convenience. Be-
fore American colors could be made from the
raw materials, processes had to be developed
and plants erected to manufacture the inter-
mediatcs.
Naturally the more simple ones were
considered first. From them we were able
to produce reds, scarlets, orange and yellow,
but we lacked blues voets and greens.
The line of colors which we produce is still
restricted, and will be until we can sur
mount the difficulties which have been over
come by foreign manufacturers In their
forty years of experience. Our industry is
still in the baby class in point of comparison.
much criticism is offered that American
dyes are not fast. Remember that 'fastness'
is comparative term. Defined, it means
the resistance dyestuG offers to outside in
fuenccs which tend to change its shade or
color.
Have Differing Properties
Zone dycstuff may be fast to light and
not fast to washing. In another case the
reverse may be true; still another may pos
scss both those properties.
The only reason color in piece of ma
tcrial may run when washed is thai it is
not particularly adapted for that purpose.
Two dyestuffs may give an almost equivalent
shade, but may differ widely in price and at
the same time in fastness. In order to keep
the purchase price at minimum, the
cheaper color will be applied. But if the
HulcFlul is expensive ana tne Color 10 De
guaranteed. the more expensive dye will be
used.
''lf the buying public were willing to pay
the price, ! don't doubt there would be little
complaint on coors running when washed
There is no need or excuse now for a label
placed on merchandise claiming a lack of
faStneSS because of the use of American
colors in the dycng of that fabric. There
are sufficient colors now to dye the majority
of fabrics as fast a color as had been ap-
piled to the same type fabric before the war.
During the war, when there was
scarcity of German dyeStuffs and virtually
no American colors, cheap substitutes were
used in the place of fast dyes
