NEW YORK, Aug. with trad

market opened firm. rails being

of short covering. This nrmness
continued throughout the morning.
In the afternoon, however, the
market settled back considerably,

being the features of this ph2se.
Toward the close gains predomi-
mated most Of them being frac-
tional. Altogether the appearances

sterling Reacts.
As a result of the bank holiday
at London the quotations for for
eign. exchange reflected conditions
In the market on this side Of the
water. Sterling was offered in SUI
ficient volume to cause q reaction
Of u cent to a price of sass. French
francs. however, were firm and ad-
vaneed 3h points to 1855 cents.
Italian lire retained 1 y points Of a
T-point rally at 4.2ih cents and
German marks were unchanged at
lbs cents. In the absence of Lon
don market the dealing in most OF
the smaller continentaI exchanges
was slight and prices in some in
stances were nominal. Brazilian
milreis continued their sharp rally,
selling for 1875 cents, which repre-
sents a gain of IS points over Sat-
urday and III cents during the past
week. This may be due. as Is
rumored, to government measures.
1t is interesting to note. however,
that London cables recently have
been persistent in their reports of
American buying Of Brazilian bonds
in that center.
Cotton Gains.
Trading in cotton opened quietly
with dealing at Liverpool suspended
on account of the holiday and with
the trade waiting the government
crop report due at IL o'clock. When
the latter appeared the October de-
livery was selling at 1918 cents, up
. points. The report, however, was
a complete surprise, the condition
being placed at 64.7 per cent as COM
pared with 6s.2 for the previous es-
innate, and the crop being estimated
at s,203, 900 bales as compared with
s.433,OO0 bales. As the trade had
expected the condition to run be-
tween 81 and ss per cent and as
the market was pretty well sold out,
prices jumped up rapidly.
October went to 13.0S cents In the
afternoon and even after reacting to
13.0o cents, still showed a gain OF
IS points. The change was due not
SO much to speculative buying on
the long side as TO covering On
shorts, and while trading at Liver
pool was suspended, buying from
that center made itself felt here.
The boil weevH is responsible for a
great part Of the damage done dur
ing the month but lack Of fertilizer
and other such factors make the
estimate of this years crop diff
dcult.
Wheat continued to huctuate to
no great purpose. After being
slightly higher and a couple Of cents
lower. the September delivery sold
at S1.24 in the afternoon. At this
price the gain on the day was Il

ALICE RILEY is
TAKEN By DEATH
Popular Child on East
Side Victim of InTantile
Paralysis

Alice Virginia Riloy, 10 rear old
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. FranS
Riley of Diamond Street, East Side,
passed away this morning at IL
o'clock. Several weeks ago she
suffered an attack Of infantile par
alysis, the first case that Falrmont
has had this year, and since that
time she had been practically COM
'pletely paralyzed but during the
past two weeks had SHOWN some
Improvement and had become able
to feed herself. though still con-
fined to her wheel chair. This
morning about nine O'Clock she was
lseized with choking spells due to
| cold, and In her weakened condi-
tion she was not able to clear tho
lungs, death resulting in about two
hours.
Alice was bright child, a pet Of
all who knew her. and her unttme-
! ly death will be felt as personal
Iloss by every one OF her acQuaint-
ances. Her little school mates
with whom she was such a favorite
will feel very keenly the loss they
have suffered, as will her Sunday
School teacher and the members
OF her class. Only last Sunday her
teacher had paid her visit and
brought some flowers as token
OF the regard in which she was
held and to them her taking away
will be indeed sad.
She leaves to survive her, her
parents and one sisterSKatie Riley
all Of whom have given every pos
sible caro- and attention, being
constantly with her day and night
ever since the dreadful malady first
manifested itself.
Funeral arrangements have. not
been made, pending word which Is

ASSASSIN

Nj AKAoKA, assassin of Pre-.
l y mier Hara of Japan, IS said
to be proud of his deed, regarding
himself as martyr and benefactor
Of his country. He has another
guess coming. A new premier will
take Hara's place and the JapAnese
government will run along as usual.
Hara was merely a tool of a bullet
proof system.
An assassin usually has about as
much effect on the course nf ,eyent'

ocean, had his soldiers, punish ii ~
