Figure Good

Figure Good
Despite a decline in car loadings
from the previous week. due to a re-
duction in coal loadings, the figure
was we'll above last year and this
brought a resumption in the adj
vance in carrier issues. Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific moved into
new high ground as did Texas &
Pacific, while several other rep
resentative issues such as New York
Central made substantial gains.
Some selling came into the steel
shares following publication of the
weekly reviews which stated that
business in this branch had shown
the usual seasonal decline. Struct-
ural buying, however, is continuing
steady. 1t was realized that a de-
cline in steel production was to be
expected at this time. hence the
bears only were able to use the steel
reviews as ammunition temporarily
and no effect was felt in any depart.
ment but the steel shares.
Cotton prices firmed up, sub
stantially while wheat sagged.
Flood Danger
Weather continued unfavorable
for crops, and in the case of cot.
ton, danger Of severe breaks in
levees along the Mississippi, which
would interfere with the new crop
planting, aided the market. Curb
stocks were buoyant, led upward by
a sensational gain in American
Light and Traction, which closed the
day with an advance of IS points.
Buying was the result of announce
ment of the decision to split UP the
stock for a so per cent stock melon.
Bond prices ruled dull except in a
few volatile issues. Italian loans
featured. Liira scared above 5 cents
to feature foreign exchange.

Illinois River Up

Water of the Illinois River was
creeping slowly over Beardstown to-
day.
The anticipated flood. the first
along the Illinois. began last night
when Combs levee gave way. The
entire lowland area had been evac-
uated, however. The food added a
thousand homeless to the rapidly in
creasing total of destitute.
Additional rains over the upper
Mississippi Valley, principally in
Arkansas, brought promise of still
greater casualties and damage.
The highest river stage since 1908
was predicted for st. Louis as tribu-
taries to the north continued to
swell. New breaks in levees below
st. Louis meanwhile We're opening
the way for water to sweep over
more of the valley.
Two Towns Flooded
Clarendon, Ark, and New Madrid,
Mo, were under more than i've
feet of water today from the latest
breaks in the Mississippi River
lcvee. Levy, Ark, was inundated
by collapse of the Arkansas River
dixie near Little Rock. Seven inches
OF rain fell at Little Rock.
Forrest City, Ark, was the cen
ter of relief work. Six thousand
refugees were concentrated there.
The Red Cross estimated that
5000 We're homeless in Arkansas
alone.
With the Missouri River at the
highest stage it has reached in ten
years, city engineers of Kansas City,
Mo-, were ready to start operation
of two large flood pumps in the
event of an overflow.
Torrential rains that swelled
tributary streams have caused the
Missouri to rise two feet within
twenty.four hours last night, and
the stage was near twenty-five feet
today

RIVER GNAWS At
town FOUNDATION
Kentucky Residents View Situa-
ton With Alarm

Columbus, KY, Aug. IS P-The
Mississippi river, which gave the
town of Columbus to the nation, is
slowly retaining its gift.
For many years the mighty stream
sweeping around a gentle curve in
its course, deposited silt and sedi-
ment at the foot of high bluff until
the soil was built out for almost
mile. On this rich bottom Column
bus was laid out and has thrived,
Floods came from time to time,
but Columbus built levees and a o.
500 foot revetment, and wooded
island above the town helped to
stay the waves. When the great ice
gorge of 1917 swept down the river
it changed the course of the waters
from east to the west side of the
protective island. A revetment was
built by the Iron Mountain railroad
company to hold in check the waters
which threatened the town.
But in 1924 the current cut deeper
into the city frontage. eating behind

neers inspected the site and appro-

YELLOW DOMINATES
ALL Other SHADES
Most Popular in Current French
! Style Show

Paris Aug, IS. P-The yellow
peril which has threatened for
several months, is expected to be-
come a certainty this fall, dress
makers forecasts show.
Yellow will be one of the smart
est evening shades of the season,
designers believe. although most of
them are still waiting for the pub
lie verdict before launching mere
than a few yellow models.
Yellow is one OF the prettiest
shades for velvet, one dressmaker
says. His house shows a fragile
evening dress in pale saffron yell
low, and several models of banana
yellows. Chanel is showing several
yellow ta.ffeta frocks.
No matter what the innovations,
however. beige continues TO be i'm
portant among fall and winter col
lors. The prevalence of brown and
the steady popularity of black, with
which beige combines successfully,
may be responsible for the long
reign beige has had.
At least one of the dressmaking
houses shows beige almost exclu-
sively for daytime and sports wear.
There is hardly an important col
lection which does not recognize
the steady vogue OF natural and
light tan tones.
= One new shade for autumn l. a
gray-olive tint which one dress
maker calls Lava. Green. This house
uses It larlely as substitute for
beige. Toning more to green than
to gray. the new tint is one of sew
eral soft shades of green in vogue.
For evening almond green is still
in evidence and a shade OF green
that is almost black is used by some
designers for street consumes
A rich shade of dark brown which
Paris calls tobacco leaf is evident
in the winter collections Of several
dressmaking houses. 1t combines
we'll with lemon yellow. One of the
pretty models of a house we'll
known for its winter sport clothes
has borders of tobacco leaf brown
on citrus colored kasha dresses.
There is a tobacco leaf brown coat
TO wear with the dress.
