Protect Baby's Eyes
From Strong Sunlight

The eyes of a baby should be pro-
tected from strong sunlight and never
should an infant be allowed to lie
on its back in a crib or carriage so
that it can stare directly at the sun,
warns the Better Vision Institute. If
a covering is not provided to shade the
eyes. serious damage to them may re-
suit.
The lens of the eye, when directed
squarely at the sun, will collect rays
that may burn the retina, in the same
manner that burning glass will scorch
paper by concentrating sun rays upon
it. Cases of children with perman-
emily damaged areas in the retina from
looking directly at the sun are not rare.

July Tire Shipments Top
100000 Mark Again
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SpCc'aI DlSpatch 10 Ihe star.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-Shipments
of automobile castings during July,
1899, are estimated to have been
5,055, ,537 units. This is 12.l per cent
below the 5,750,149 unit shipments
for June, but is 30.6 per cent over
shipments for July, 1888, according
to statistics released today by the
Rubber Manufacturers Association,
Inc.
This is the first time since June
and July of 1887 that tire shipments
exceeded 100000 units in each of
any two successive months.
Largely responsible for the con-
tinued high shipments in July were
replacement sales which, estimated
to have been 4,160,319 units, were
only 2.6 per cent below June replace
ments and 26.4 per cent over re-
placement shipments for July, 1888
Shipments of castings for original
equipment purposes are estimated
at 808,61l units, a decrease of 4l.4
per cent under June, but 63.6 per
cent over July, 1888
Export shipments are estimated
to have been 86,707 units for July.
which compares with 98.739 units
for June and 84,523 units during
July, 1888.
July production, estimated at
4,5lO,l22 units, is IA per cent under
June, but is 37.2 per cent over July,
1888.
Automotive castings in the hands
OF manufacturers July 81 are esti-
mated at 8,300126 units. This rep
resents a decrease Of 6.9 per cent
under June 80 stocks, but is 80 per
cent over the July 81, 1888, inventory.

10 Low-Yield Bonds.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. c5.-Peace
hopes fostered by reports of diplo-
matte conferences in Berlin came to
the aid of the sorely depressed bond
market today, and late prices showed
good rallies over the morning lows.
An uneven rally in United States
Government issues after a further
fall in early trading brought in a
little support throughout the domes-
tic list While most issues were
lower near the start of the final
hoUe, prices were well above the
wor& and in a few instances good
net gains were recorded.
Treasury 27ss Of 1860, 234s Of
1947-45 and 4s of 1954-44 came back
strongly for gains of Il to more
than a full point after having been
under water in the morning. On
relatively light offerings the 3lss,
1949-46. and 234s, 1954-51, dropped
close to 134 points, but dealers
pointed out that both issues, having
been untraded yesterday, were COM
ing into line with the previous de-
cline.
There was little support for foreign
ratings until the peace rumors were
heard. Earlier bonds of Australia,
Rome, Milan, Poland, Denmark,
Greece and Norway had shown
losses running from to more than
6 points.
Scarcity of bids was responsible
for sharp breaks in some OF the
less active corporate issues, but a
few trading favorites, especially
among rails, made net gains Of a
point or so.

Retail Sales Follow
Seasonal Pattern,
Top Year Ago
Late Summer VoIume
From 6 to 10 Per Cent
Ahead of 1888
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Buying in
retail stores at leading centers of
distribution this week logged along
at the usual late summer pace, and
topped last year at this time by
between 6 and 10 per cent for the
Nation as a whole, Dun & Bradstreet
reported today.
The weather, the credit agency
said, was bigger sales factor
than the crisis abroad. Where the
weather was hot business slowed,
and where it was normal trade
picked up.
while retail merchants noted no
perceptible change in consumers
buying attitudes because of the
heightened tension abroad, whole
sale markets were somWhat more
sensitive to the oninous tone of
the weeks foreign news" the agency
added.
Finished goods were least af-
fected. Recorder activity remained
heavy, and buyers for retail stores
continued to express satisfaction
over the reception accorded the new
lines of merchandise. Industrial
purchasing agent in whom the at
titude of caution was more pro-
nounced, preferred to restrict orders
fairly close to immediate needs.
DRY goods lines appeared to feel
the hesitation somewhat more keen
ly than other markets, but in this
instance sharp drop in raw ma
terial prices and the heavy crop
carryover were additional unsettling
factors"

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Textile
operations for the full year 1899
are expected to average from Is
to 20 per cent higher than last
year, according to a current survey
by Standard Statistics Co.
However, the 25 per cent curtail-
nent in print cloth production in
the third quarter through trade
agreement to reduce heavy mill
stocks, and an indicated decline
in silk consumption, may bring
textile activity for the last six
months slightly below the relatively
high level of the first half.
Despite increased volume, how
