MANV|LLE SHARES
MONOPOL|zE CURB
Spectacular Rise Due to Pro-
spective Improved Earnings.
Other Issues Record Highs.
BY WILLIAM f. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 25.-Johns
Manville shares monopolized specula-
tive attention on the Curb Exchange
today. To explain the spectacular rise
which has taken place in the issue on
the ground Of expected improved earn.
ings, as a result of new product
about to be placed upon the market
by the company, would be rather far
fetched.
Whether the rise was due to a tech
nical market condition or some i'm
pending development in the affairs Of
the company was question, but there
was little stock for sale on the way
up Because of the fact that it is now
a Morgan stock it was an easy mat
ter to attract a. public following once
the rise got under way. Above 1870,
the price was more than 5 points
higher on the day, up Is points since
Tuesdays close, and compared with
the low for the year Of 55h.
Public utilities continued prominent,
although the demand centered in par
ticular issues. United Gas and I'M
provement and Northern Ohio Power
were selling at new high prices, while
American Gas and Electric after early
profit taking rallied to within a small
fraction of it's best.
New high records also were estab-
lished by Fulton Sylphon, Grand
Stores and Realty Associates and
there was an urgent demand for
Celanese issues.
The new $4,000, 900 issue of Chica.
go. Rock Island and Pacific Az per
cent bonds was admitted to trading
and Immediately sold at a premium
from the subscription price of 95.
New York Central new shares moved
forward into new high ground in
sympathy with strength in the rail-
way shares on the Stock Exchange.
Detroit International Bridge 6hs sold
into new high ground above 104 and
were considered attractive at the cur
rent level.
The market for oil shares backed
and filled with little initiative taken
on either side.

FIGHT IS INSPIRED
BY PENNSY PROJECT
Plan to EIectrify Washington
New York Lines Ar0uSes
Power Companies.
Snecial Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, August 25.--Knowl-
edge that the Pennsylvania Railroad
will electrify its lines between New
York and Washington is believed the
fight now being waged between the
Consolidated Gas, Electric Light and
Power Co. Of Baltimore and the
Northern Maryland Electric Co,
which is allied with the Philadelphia
Electric Co. before the Public Serv'
ice Commission and the Potomac
Electric Power of Washington is also
expected to get into the fight before
it is over.
The announcement that electric
power would replace steam in all
operations of the Pennsylvania Rail
road in and near Baltimore within
the next three or five years, was
made yesterday by George M. Smith.
superintendent of the Baltimore
division.
Electricity will be used for freight
as we'll as passenger service and for
shifting freight in the distributor
yards as well as on through lines be-
tween New York and Washington,
said Mr. Smith.
Probable Allotment.
1t is thought that the Philadelphia
Electric is assured the sale of the
power to electrify the Pennsylvania
lines between Wilmington and Phil
adelphia. A New York company Is
expected to get the business between
Philadelphia and New York.
Behind the dispute between the Con-
solidated and the Northern Maryland
Electric is said to be a fight between
the local company and the Philadel-
phia Electric to determine what con-
Germ will get the larger share Of the
business between Philadelphia and
Baltimore.
The Philadelphia Electric IL the cor.
poration that will sell tn power which
will be developed at the Conowingo
dam being constructed in Hartford and
Cecil Counties. Maryland.
PepcO Likely to Take Part.
The Potomac Electric Power Co. OF
Washington planning a dam on the
Potomac River. is also expected to get
into this scramble before it is over.
for the business from Baltimore to
Washington and at the terminals near
Washington.
In fighting for the privilege to ex-
tend it's lines to Havre de Grace, 1t
is said that the Consolidated of Balti.
more, Is not primarily concerned with
the right to sell power to the people of
Havre de Grace. 1t is fighting, 1t is
said, to get the business of supplying
current to the Pennsylvania Railroad
from Havre de Grace to Baltimore. to
get the business of supplying the cur.
rent the Pennsylvania will use in Bal
timore itself, and perhaps the current
for electrifying it's lines between Balti-
more and Washington.

CROP IN COTTON
81 TO AZ POINTS
Decline Is Followed by Rally
Based on Covering or
Rebuying.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 25.-Early de-
clines of 81 to AZ points were followed
by rallies in the cotton market today
on covering or rebuying. Selling on
the better weather reported in the
South was restricted by Apprehension
that unsettled conditions would re-
apnear in the Southwest by the be-
ginning of next week. and offerings
were comparatively light during mid
afternoon.
December sold off to 21.47 and
| March to 21.69 under initial offerings,
| but private reports of rain in parts OF
Oklahoma and Arkansas. seemed 10
bring in more buying at the decline
and there were rallies of several points
from the lowest, the market showing
net losses of about II to 10 points at
the end Of the first hour.
Private cables attributed the decline
| in Liverpool to continental selling. To-
cal liquidation and hedging which had
supplied covering and trade calling.
THE selling here was considered chiefly
the result of realizing and selling for
q reaction after the advances Of the
past few days.
| The buying promoted by private re-
ports of rains in Oklahoma was sup
piled on a rally of 10 or II points with
the market easing later on favorable
view of the official weather forecasts
and continued realizing or liquidation.
| A somewhat reactionary sentiment
seemed to be encouraged by the more
| favorable average of the weather
| news, and some Southern as we'll
as local selling was reported on the
decline. December sold off to 21.33,
with the general market showing net
| losses Of 81 to 43 points during the
middle of the morning, but there was
some trade buying and covering on
the decline, with midday prices or
