shorts Run to Cover.

Although the larger part OF the big
short interest extant few weeks ago
in the stock market has covered long
since on the declines of the last fort
night. the new professional short inter-
est built UP during the course OF those
declines and in some degree responsible
for them found itself in something akin
to trap when It attempted TO cover
yesterday. The original motive lead
ing to the covering was desire TO be
out Of stocks during the holiday period.
when vast majority of traders will be
absent from Wall Street. Attempts to
take back stocks found a surprising
scarcity OF offerings, however and
frightened the shorts into a more ven
turous and more costly bidding affray.
With the general run OF stocks in
strong hands. now that weak and I'M
certain accounts have either been boil
stored up or shaken completely out of
the market the paucity of purchasable
stock stood out prominently. Another
reason the bears were willing TO even
up their commitments at any reason
able price was the manner in which
the selling of the last few days had been
absorbed.

HALF YEAR, JUST ENDED,
SHOWS GAINS IN TRADE
Optimism Prevails Despite
Labor Uncertainty.

The half year of business and trade
1ust ended has been one of increasing
confidence and progress, according to
the weekly review of r. G. Dun & Co.
and of Brddstreet's. Despite unsettle-
ment in the labor situation, really
notable feeling of optimism regarding
industry prevails. Sentiment as to the
railway situation, with 100000 men
threatening to strike to-day, seems to
resemble that which obtained as the
coal strike approached. the dominant
thought being that serious results will
in the same manner be avoided.
Dnn's Revieto says: THE half year
just ended brought a distinct advance
in business, with most of the gain in
confidence and actual transactions
achieved during the second quarter.
Unsettled labor conditions in some in
dustries have long been detriment,
curtailing operations and enhancing
cost Of production. and the threatened
railroad strike Increased uncertainty
this week"
Brddstreet's says: Perhaps the most
notable features in the maintenance of
fair activity in trade has been the ap-
parently good pre-vacation demand for
seasonable goods at retail and with
Western jobbers."

,Solicitude Shown for
s People Of Heligoland

7 BERLIN, Aug. s.-Prussia has es-
tAblfshed a precedent in its annals
BY granting fiscal autonomy to an
4fea OF one and one-half kilometers
lNlth population of approximately
$500. The section concerned is the
Island Of Hcligoland.
IN order to quiet discomfort among
the Hcligolanders. the Prussian gov
eminent has decided to grant them
a more independent administration
than heretofore. The island will be
treated as separate from the district
Of Suederdithmarschen, and it is EN-
powered to regulate its local taxation
according to the islanders needs.
7 1t will have legislature or land
rat Of its own, the members Of
which will live on the island. In
place OF the present district board
there will be board of two Heligo-
finders under jurisdiction of the
legislature. The governmental head
Of Schleswig will maintain supervi-
sion over the island.
