and y ou might be able to see d lit
tie more life.
In the shadows 0 the magnifi-
cent skyscrapers and huge buildings
which house the worlds greatest fin-5
ancia institutions and commercial
enterprises we find the famed Bow
cry section, with it's old, crumbling,
delapidated buildings and garbage
Uttered streets, providing extremely
limited space for the thousands
which forms the intermingling pop
ulation of this area.
We find most of the people on
the BoWery unemployed. They sur
vive mainly by religious missions
and organizations under the super
vision f the City Welfare depart
ment. Although some have incomes
from cheap markets, loan sharks,
bartering, pan-handling, staaling,
etc. And finding a decent job is al
most hopeless.
As we walk along the streets dur
ing the day, side stepping out
stretched legs of drunks, hungry
and sleeping men as they recline
with their backs resting against
buildings, desperate looking men
make such scrutinizing glances as
we pass them on corners we are in
clined to keep turning our heads in
fear that someone is tipping UP be-
hind to eize lis.
Late in the evening round
o'clock we interest ourselves in one
Of the mission scenes--the noted
one-the Bowery Mission. St. John,
the mission spiritual leader, orders
that the door of the chapel be open.
And no one hesitates in entering.
The director tells them that in spite
of their i'll and unfortunate condi-
tions God will be with them il they
will pray and serve Him.
At night, slowly and gradually,
the depressed inhabitants retire to
their lodging. In many cases one
average size compartment accommo-
dates from fifteen to twenty per-
sons.
With the exception Of a few
rumbling traffics, late in the night
the Bowery is mysteriously envelo-
ped in a frame Of auietness.
Let US all strive for living far
above the state of mere existance,
but if we are financially down
consolation can be gotten by real
izing that we are not trapped in a
poverty stricken area Of great me-
tropolis.

issues drifted lower in quiet stock
market dealings today.
A modest attempt at rally at the
opening was soon squelched and,
while price changes were narrow,
there was no lift throughout the rest
OF the session. Losses ran to point
of more.
Brokers said traders started out
hopeful the Polish German row
would be settled without war. but
later viewed the days trans Atlantic
news little more pessimistically.
Action of the French government
in requisitioning the entire railway
system OF the country was taken as
an indication Paris still saw the sit
uation, if not with alarm, as Sc
riOus.
In the meantime, the reported ac-
ceptance by Germany of the prof.
fered mediation of the rulers of Bel.
GUM and the Netherlands was con-
sidered good omen. Negotiations,
1t was thought, however, might be
long continued, with many lrrita-
tions arising in the interim to annoy
world exchanges.
The market situation seemed to
be that professionals preferred to
stay outside for a while and invest
ment buying was at a minimum.
Wall Street appeared to agree with
Secretary Hull's statement at press
conference that it was "anybodys
guess" and didn't care to do much
guessing.
AS result the ticker tape loafed
most of the day. Transfers ap-
proximated 100000 shares. There
was slight pickup at the end.
Stocks at London and Amsterdam
finished strong and Paris was
steady. Activity was not heavy,
however.

siderably less than in 1914.
The amount of such investments

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-Corn belt

crowded by the largest carryover
on record
Half of the old corn stocks con-
stitute collateral on Government
loans and as such is worth ap-
proximately $18,OOO,OOO more than
it would be even after transporta-
ton to market.
Many farmers must soon decide
not only whether to seek extended
loans on the old corn, but also
how they will store the large new
crop.
To meet the latter problem the
Government has arranged for the
construction of nearly $4,000 steel
bins at strategic points and intends
to construct an additional $4,000
to boost the total capacity to 69,-
100000 bushels.
Corn held on many farms can
be turned over to the Government
at neat profit to farmers on the
basis of current market prices. The
grain Is worth 81 cents bushel
on loans, less interest, while at
Chicago and Kansas City prices
range wrom As to SIS cents a bushel

However, farmers who did not OBJ

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Cash
dividend payments by the COM
panies of the Standard Oil group
for the third quarter of 1899 are
estimated at $23,896, ,799, a decline
of 6 per cent from the total of $25,-
427 ,903 distributed by these COM
panies in the third quarter of 1888,
according to figures compiled by the
New York Stock Exchange firm of
Carl H. PforZheimer & Co. Aggre-
gate cash disbursements of the group
for the first three quarters of the
current year will total approx
mately $109,177 ,606 compared with
S129 ,602,779 in the first nine months
of last year or a decline of 16 per
cent.
The reduction in the total for the
current quarter as compared with
the corresponding period of 1898
principally reflects the smaller dis
tribution by the Standard Oil Co.
of California which has declared
only the regular quarterly dividend
of Is cents per share, whereas in
the first and second quarters this
year the regular payment was sup
plemented by extras of 5 cents per
share each and in each quarter last
year by extras of 10 cents each.
With the exception of Standard
of California and Buckeye Pipe Line
Co.. whose payment of so cents per
share this quarter compares with a
payment of Is cents per share at
this time last year, every other
member of the group normally max
ing payments in the third quarter
is making the same per share dis
tribution as in the third quarter of

Charles Stewart, engineer, and Ar

tensive survey of the South Ameri-
can field They are expected to re-
turn to this country from Buenos
Aires around the middle of next

for manufacturing rubber products
below the Equator will depend
largely on the report they bring

GOODYEAR Tire & Rubber Co. and
Firestone Tire e. Rubber Co. already
have South American plants, and
the field for sales of rubber goods
there is expanding, trade observers
say.
Owning of rubber manufacturing
plants in Argentina is advantageous,
executives point out, because of Ar
gentine import restrictions on rub
Der goods.
Should United States Rubber de-
eide to build a South American
plant, it would be used for the man
ufacture of shoes, tires. and possibly
other products for the South Amer
