Weather Reports Send
Cotton Prices Down

Market Action Curbed
By Capitol Silence
On Subsidy Plans
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 15.-The cot
ton futures market looked over the
weather map today and charted a
downward course. Closing prices
were off 7 to points.
Brokers said that with July of
the board, quotations are hence
forth more likely to be affected by
crop and weather reports.
Ignoring better than due Liver
pool cables, the market got off to
a lower start and pointed down
most of the session. Active liquida-
ton by Bombay accounts in Octo-
ber, hedging and local selling met
limited support from short holders
and Wall Street interests.
More aggressive action on either
side of the market, cotton dealers
said, was checked by continued sill
ence from Washington concerning
export subsidy plans.
Worth Street textile agents con-
tinued to take an optimistic view
of the immediate outlook, although
the weeks cotton goods sales were
estimated as several million yards
short of current output.

and foreign deposits with Federal
Reserve Banks.
Loss Of Gold Possibility.
Since the huge accumulation of
gold in this country has been coupled
with abnormal conditions abroad,
the United States is faced with the
problem of a possible loss of gold
with restoration Of normal condi-
tions in foreign countries at some
time IN the future. The re-estab-
lishment of capital outflow might
easily cause the withdrawal of sew
eral billion dollars within few
years. With the lions share of the
worlds gold already on these shores,
such loss might appear to be of
little consequence, but it's timing
would be most important.
A large part of the present excess
of bank reserves may be attributed
to the inflow of foreign gold. If
improving business should put these
reserves to work as active credits,
the loss of gold might cause a finan-
cial strain in this country. On the
other hand, such vast quantity of
potential credit is now available that
gold might leave the country with
no effect other than a reduction in
the unused reserves.
Any loss of gold, however, has an
unfavUrable psychological effect on
a nation, whether or not it causes
a real strain on the banking struc-
ture. Therefore, any further heavy
receipts of foreign gold and capital
must be regarded as adding to the
problems which the United States
must solve when world affairs are
again stabilized.

NEW YORK, July 15.-Many of
the 1900 registered employees of New
York Stock Exchange member firms
they used to call them custom
ers' men"-today awaited with some
apprehension the grading of papers
in an examination they took this

their jobs.

houses, handling their accounts and
advising them concerning invest
ments.
Here is a sample of the examina-
ton questions made public today:
Mrs. Smith, who has letter Of
introduction from very god friend
of yours, enters your Office, gives
your firm a check for 100000 and
asks you to advise her as to how
she should invest this money. The
letter states Mrs. Smith is widow,
but gives no other information
What do you consider the 10 most
important questions you should ask
her in order to obtain sufficient
background to advise her?"

Grains Soon Recover

Major Port in Quick
Market Changes
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


CHICAGO, July 15.-Grain prices
slumped u to cent a bushel today,
but quickly regained the losses be-
fore the close.
With spring wheat and corn in
the most critical stage of develop
ment, the former beginning to ripen
and the latter we'll in the tasseling
period. weather played an impor-
tant role in the trade.
Prices dipped in early transac-
tions partly because of unsettled and
cooler weather with scattered rains
reported over most of the wheat and
corn belts and in Canada. Before
the close, however, the weekly fore
cast limited that little rain and
above-normal temperatures would
prevail over much of the great
plains regions. Scattered showers,
however, are in prospect over the
week end.
Corn prices tumbled as much as
q to 11s cents, with July selling
| down to 1875, low unequaled in
the futures pit here since April,
1884. Wheat lost as much as 12-&
cent. Purchasing by previous short
sellers who decided to accept profits
on the recent decline helped to ac-
celerate the rallies in both pits.
Wheat closed unchanged to q

Stable Trade Conditions
Seen for Rest Of 1889
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics said yesterday that what it
called relatively stable business con-
ditions continued to be in prospect
for the balance of this year and the
early part of 1910.
In a monthly analysis, the bureau
said an upturn in economic condi-
tions, which started in late May,
should continue during the last half
of the year. 1t added, however, that
there were apparently enough Off
setting influences to prevent any
very sharp rise"
Favorable factors listed by the bu-
reau were rising industrial produc-
tion and expanded rate of coal and
steel output, and maintenance of a
high rate of construction activity.
Adverse factors were said to be a
contemplated summer curtailment in
cotton textiles and dull and reac-
tionary" securities markets which
"tend to create increasing caution
among businessmen, making the
raising of new capital less urgent
and more difficult"

DOGF1sH DESTROYING SALMON
CLAIM OF BY-PRODUCTs CO.

KETGHIKAN - Here is some
thing for bureau of fisheries seien-
lists to consider:
Dogfish may possibly destroy more
salmon each day than the combined
efforts of seiners and trap owners
during the entire season!
Such is the startling conclusion
indicated in an experiment conduct
ed by Willis R. Lebo Of the Salmon
IBy-Produets company Thursda y
night. Disseeting dogfish which
swarm in the waters around his
plants, he found salmon fingerlings
in the digestive tract of all dogfish
caught
Mr.. Lebo hired three men to fish
off the by-produets eompany's dock.
Working in two hour shifts they
caught dogfish at the rate Of one
every TWO minutes. All fish caught
were females. They weighed from 10
to & pounds
From one to five recognizable sal
mon ftngerltngs We're being digested
by every dogfish. Lebo found when
he aissected them.
Showing the enormous reprOduc-
tive power of dogftsh, he discovered
every fish had five or six tiny dog
fish alive in it, about 15 others still
attached and from to 100 IN
Matched eggs.
Wondering if dogfish We're num-
erous and are consuming salmon
everywhere as fast as in Ward Cove,
Lebo questioned L. P. Sunderland,
veteran halibut fisherman. Mr. sun
derIand says many OF the fish he
catches out on the halibut banks are
dogfish. On cutting them open, he
has found salmon and trout, the
same as Lebo did.
IF this condition exists all over
Alaskan waters, dogfish are destroy
ing millions of times as many sal
mon as are traps and seiners," de-
elared Lebo
Millions are being destroyed,
and we talk about conservation"
a potential wealth beyond the
conception of an Einstein" can be
produced, he believes, by eliminating
dogfish.
If dogfish destroy many times the
number of salmon man does, then by
eliminating the species there would
be no need to worry about the length
of the season, the number of traps,
etc, he is convinced.
He believes it is up to the bureau
of fisheries to attack the problem.
Perhaps the government could offer
a small bounty on dogfish, he sug-
gests.
