Manuscript of Zola Novel Sought
■ For Years for French
Government.
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—A nation
wide hunt by an American corres
pondent of Mme. Zola for the manu
script of Emile Zola’s novel of Paris
gutter life "Nana” has resulted in
finding the original copy of this story
in the J. P. Morgan collection in this
city. "Nana” is the only one of the
Zola manuscripts that is not in the
possssion of the French Government.
The ot.iers were given by Mme. Zola.
Neither she nor the collectors for the
Government have yet been informed
where the "Nana” manuscript is.
Government Owns Others.
J. P. Morgan said yesterday that
the manuscript was in his collection
and that according to his records it
was the only one not owned by the
Government of France. Mme. Zola
was looking for the manuscript and
that no request for it had ever come
to him from the French Government
or the widow of the novelist. Mr.
Morgan said that he did not know
what his attitude would be if such a
request should be made. It probably
will be made to Mr. Morgan within
a few days by Guyot Cameron, for
merly professor of French in Prince
ton University, who has been com
missioned by Mme. Zola to locate the
manuscript.
An Old Friend of the Zolas.
Mr. Cameron formely lived in Paris
and is an old friend of the Zola fam
ily. His search began several years
ago with scant clues. The proprietor
of a book-shop in Paris remembered
having sold the manuscript to an
American, and that was about all Mr.
Cameron 4iad to work on. He made
an exhaustive investigation in this
country by correspondence and per
sonal search among dealers and pri
vate collectors in various cities; but
the discovery finally came when a
friend told Mr. Cameron that he had
seen the "Nana” manuscript listed in
the Morgan collection in a foreign
S aper at the time of the death of J. P.
I organ. Sr.
He will write the story of its dis
covery to Mme. Zola and ill probably
ask Mr. Morgan for the manuscript
in her behalf.

Diving Suit Nearly
Coffin for Inventor
SANTA MONICA, CAL., Aug 7.—
Tom Yamishi, from Japan,* invented
a rubber diving suit which, at its
trial dive this afternoon, sprung a
leak and nearly formed a coffin for
the inventor.
J. L. Green, in a rowboat, picked up
the Japanese as he was sinking and
towed him ashore. After being rolled
on a barrel, the inventor left for home.

COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Continued dry
weather over Texas and Oklahoma led
to further buying at the opening of the
cotton market to-day and first prices
were 1 to 5 points higher than the clos
ing quotations of Wednesday. August
made the best gain. There was a great
deal of warehouse buying. After the
call further bullish advices relative to
the weather were received and prices
advanced still further.
There was no rains shown on the map,
which was an incentive for buying, but
there is disturbance In the Gulf, which
local weather experts claim may bring
rain in the next two days over the West
ern belt. This is causing hesitancy on
the part of bulls to buy aggressively.
Every one seemed to await the noon de
tailed weather report to see how high
the temperatures may run and whether
or not the local experts are correct in
their predictions. The volume of trad
ing was small and the range was very
narrow throughout the early session.

Shiny Berlin Streets
Amaze U.S. Tourists

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian,
BERLIN, Aug. 7.—American tour
ists here have succumbed to the
cleanliness of Berlin, which they be
lieve is unsurpassed.
“When I rode over the asphalt
pavements the night I arrived,” said
one to-day, "I thought they were
glass, so shiny and smoth were they.”
The visitors also are impressed
with the power-driven street cleaners,
which flush and then wine the streets,
making them as clean as a kitchen
floor.
COTTON MARKET OPINIONS.
Morris H. Rothschild & Co.: We
continue to advise caution as to short
sales around the 11c level.
Hayden, Stone & Co.: Spinners have
not become anxious as yet.
Miller & Co.: Everything depends
upon climatic conditions in the South
west.
Logan & Bryan: We believe that it
may be well not to press the selling
side too closely, for as indicated in our
advices of to-day shorts displayed some
nervousness and were disposed to re
duce lines pending further developments
in the western belt.

Tackle Hardships
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, Aug. 7.—Hardships cause
long life. Lord Strathcona, the “grand
old man of England and Canada,”
who celebrated his 93d birthday yes
terday, declared so to-day.
“No man s life has been filled with
more hardships than mine,” he de
clared, "and yet I am happy and
healthy and believe that I will live
to be 100. My early experiences in
Canada were filled with the hardest
kind of work, and I have never gone
out of my way to avoid stress, nor
distress, either, for that matter.

WAYCROSS, Aug. 7.—Following a
long hearing before Justice C. H.

bound over to-day for action by the
Grand Jury. One of the witnesses
testified that Bullard tried to get him
to kill Spain. The defense contended
that the remark was made in fun.
The plea of suicide was not intro
duced but probably will figure is

The market after the call was sold
on forecast of Increasing cloudiness in
Arkansas and predictions of local weath
er experts of rain in the next three
days for the western belt. The ring
crowd were apparently the leading sell
ers. Montgomery. Dick Bros., Mitchell
and Wilson led the buying and bid the
market up. Very little cotton was of
fered at the outset. Weld was re
ported a good buyer; also the South
and West were booked as buyers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Texas Com
pany was the most prominent feature at
the opening of the stock market to-day,
advancing 2 points to 115. However,
nearly all issues were higher following

were up on reports of re-established
peace in the Balkans.

American Sugar Refining lost the same
i amount.
At the end of half an hour Union Pa
cific was up 1 point.
The transfer books for subscription of
Union Pacific close to-day, but the
Stock Exchange ruled that sales of the
issue during the morning would not be
ex-rights, but that a due bill would be
given for rights because the company
did not announce the price, at which
Southern Pacific certificates of Interest
would be offered.
The curb was strong.

"According to the bears, yesterday’s
advance was a revival of last week’s
price boom, which week-end rains had
interfered with. According to the bulls,
the talent has begun to realize the dan
ger of selling short, because of the con
tinued need of rain in the west, and
also because of the approach of a show
down on the Clarke and Smith bills af
fecting cotton contract trading.
"Meanwhile, the market Is very nar
row. and a light excess of buying or
selling orders serves to move values a
little way. Damage reports are begin
ning to come in from the west in suf
ficient number to cause some concern,
and the Gulf storm, which big-yield men
now depend on to bring rains to Texas,
is only in process of formation and may
not form at all. Dry weather advices
are causing some shorts to cover.
"Yesterday exporters and forward
sellers received some inquiries from Eu
rope for supplies, but very little busi
ness was reported done.”

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Holders of all
grains Indulged in liberal selling at the
beginning of the session of the Board
of Trade this morning and values
showed sharp recessions in conse
quence. Corn led the other markets in
the matter of losses, the decline in this
cereal amounting to 1 to 1%. Rains
were reported in the northern half of
the belt, the section visited yesterday,
and this was largely responsible for the
throwing over of lines by longs. Slight
recoveries were made from the initial
decline on covering by shorts.
The selling of wheat was not as pro
nounced as seen in the corn market,
and losses in this line were %c to %c.
Rains were reported in our own, aa
well as the Canadian, Northwest, but
they were not sufficient to prevent har
vesting. Liverpool market was %d
higher, being influenced by steady
American cables of yesterday and
rainy weather in the Volga region of
Russia These were partially offset in
the big English market by a weak open
ing at Paris and generally favorable
weather for harvest in Europe.
Oats showed losses of %c to %c from
the weakness in corn the principal In
fluence.
There was little doing in the provision
market at the opening ahd the range
of prices was quite irregular The hog
market was reported as steady to
shade higher.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "Sen
timent in wheat is mostly bearish as
viewed by local traders on the big re
ceipts and light export business. Shrewd
operators, however, only selling on
bulges, and say that caution should
be used so long as the bull movement
in corn continues While a majority of
corn traders are bullish, there are
number who are afraid to follow the
advance much further, because prices
are unprecedentedly hieh for this season
for December and May. There is a good
deal of spreading between corn and
wheat, the latter being sold and corn
bought on the carrying charge theory.

Life of U. S. Rifles Is
10 Years, Say Experts
WASHINGTON. Aug. 7.—The pres
ent model of rifle used by the United
Statesi should have a life of useful
ness at least ten years, in the opinion
of ordnance officers and a determined
effort is being made to prevent the
condemnation of thousands of rifles
that are turned in as worn out when
they are really serviceable.
A circular issued to-day declares
that one of these rifles should be
capable of firing 8,000 to 13,000
rounds before becoming so worn as
to become inaccurate.
