 STEAD|ES MARKET

 Commodity Rises and Falls
By Associated Press

' New York. September s.-7The eot- ton market was feverish again to- day breaking further at the open ing then squirting upwards fully a cent a pound followed by another plunge, which carried some deliveries SIT to SIS a bale below Wednesdays S high point. Final prices were 112 to I6S points under yesterdays close.
 The opening at s7.50 a bale de- cline followed a break in the Liver pool market. The rally which fol- lowed because old bulls who had sold out their lines showed desire to re- new them at lower levels, carried October up to 19.10c and January to 193Sc.
 Selling pressure which brought the late afternoon break was partly due to reports that southern banks were urging sales of spots to ease the financial situation.
 The market broke 150 points more at the opening today. due to over night selling orders, and the con- tinued weakness in Liverpool Oc- tober dropped to Is cents, but heavy rebuying advanced prices about 50 points from the opening levels. The trade and New Orleans also bought freely on the early break.
 After the first hour the market was firm with an advance of about one cent a pound over the opening prices but encountered heavy selling again in the afternoon.

Little,- of Boston, in an ad- dress at the international convention of chemists. According to Dr. Little the sun alone is worthy of scientific investigation as source of energy. He rejected wind, waves and tides.
 He said he presumed chemistry would play an important part in harnessing solar rays to supplant the dwindling supplies of coal, petroleum and other sources of energy.

NO TIME LIMIT SET IN BRITISH REPLY
 ID IRISH LETTER
Date for Conference Set, But Communication in No Sense Considered
 UItimatum
By Associated Press

London, September S.-Premier Lloyd Georges letter to Eamonn De- Valera, the Irish republican leader which was forwarded to Dublin after the meeting of the British cab met at Inverness yesterday, seems at last to insure that Sim Fein plenipotentiaries will meet the spe- cial committee of cabinet members at Inverness on September 20, clear ing up any ambiguity the Sim Fein leaders may entertain about the six conditions of the British govern ment stipulated as reservations in granting Ireland a dominion status
 The Prcmier's Setter, like all
 his communications since the
 Irish negotiations began, is
 characterize by punctiiicus
 considerat tons for the sinn Fcin.
 While it suggests a date for the
 proposed conference, it fs in no
 sense an ultimatum. and sets no
 time limit to the negotiations. In
 fact, 1t tends to prove what has
 been maintained throughout by
 those close to the premier, that
 he earnestly desires a settle
 ment.
 Discussion On Merits
 We have invited you to discuss our proposals on their merits" says the premier, and he adds that it will be open to the Irish leaders to raise the subject of guarantees on any particular point.
 The belief Is almost universal to- night that Mir. DeValera will accept that what the premier offers is what Mir. DeValera deslres-namely, an untrammelled conference, with the single condition that Ireland re- main in the British empire. The guarantees which MT. DeValera is supposed to have in mind are mem- berships in the League of Nations and the dominion conference, and these, it is believed, the government would be willing to grant
 Assuming that the conference will meet as suggested, there Is still the question of Ulster, which Is rot touched in the premier's letter. Mir. Lloyd Georges original proposal was for a triparte conference. in cluding Ulster, but up to the present there Is no sign that Ulster has yielded in the slightest in it's de- termination to base itself on the home rule act and the northern Parliament.
 Home Rule Act in Abeyance
 A representative of the govern mont. in an interview at Inverness. today said that in the event of the conference falling, the government would proceed with the home rule act, which by inference may be in- terpreted to mean that the govern ment regards the act in partial abey- ance.
 Even should the proposed confer ence at Inverness surmount the ini- tial differences, there would still re- main Ulster, on which MT DeValera holds strong views. The question of the desire of Fermanagh and Ty- rome to be separated from the north ern Parliament also is likely to be raised in the conference, and this would bring a bitter conflict with Ulster. It will thus be seen hat there are yet many difficulties ahead
 The text of Premier Lloyd Georges letter follows:
 His majesty's government has considered your letter of August 30 and hastens to make the{ following observations upon 1t:
 The principle of government, by the consent of the governed is the

The car swayed suddenly and left

blast of a whistle. I looked out.
There was another train bearing
down on us at full speed.

up in the roof of my mouth. tried
to open the door into the day coach
to shout to the people inside. My
hand refused to function.
''As I stood 1 could see into the day

could see that other passengers had
seen the train. A woman jumped up
from her seat. She held little girl
looked as though she was about eight
or nine years old-to her breast.
Men jumped up-one even started for
the door where L was standing.
Then suddenly the side of the car
buckled in. My last conscious i'm
preston was of everything dissolv-
ing in front of me. / remember see
ing the nose of the engine. L remem-
ber the lights in the car going out
suddenly. I remember hearing a
scream that I'll never forget. And
then came darkness.
II wan thrown from that platform
nearly so feet lit on the ground
Tho breath Knocked out Of me. When
I sat up the whole middle OF our train
was gone.
When I could get to my knees, 1
stayed there and gave"up prayer.
"Tn never forget the expression
of the faces of those poor people as
they died. The staring eyes of one
man looked directly into mine-that
face is going to come to me for the
rest of my life
Fierke, outside Of numerous bruis-
es, was not injured.
The car platform on which he stood
