Willie Weston, Grace DeMar and Toots Paka and her Hawaiian musi cians are running a dead heat for first honors in the fine vaudeville offering at the Forsyth this week. First-nighters found it hard to pick the winner. The Hawaiian musicians repeat the big hit they made on their previous visit to Atlanta. The guitar playing of one of the men brings down the house and Miss Paka's "hula hula” dance wins a big hand. The weird native songs are exceptionally pleasing. Willie Weston, in a class by himself as a character singer, has new songs this year, and his act goes big. He was assisted at the piano by Howard Win- burn, the Atlanta pianist; Mike Bernard, Weston's regular partner, being ill. Miss DeMar, who sings well some songs that are full of "pep" to say the least, and captures the gallery In her last number when she exhibits a very shapely figure In tights. The other acts on the bill are above the average in quality. Kennedy and Rooney have a skit that keeps the au dience chuckling; Foster and Lovell win favor with songs and nonsense; the Nikko troupe-of acrobats have a .Japan ese who walks up and down stairs on his head as an added feature, and the Pathe pictures are unusually interest ing. War Picture at the Grand. Interesting light is thrown on the threatening Mexican situation by a re markable motion picture, "Victory," at the Grand Theater this week. While the scene would fit any Spanish-American country, the acute conditions in Mexico Immediately suggest that country, and the analogy is stronger still when the Pre**ident of the Republic Is assassi nated and the crux of the drama de velops with an attack on the United States battleship Utah. Woven through the play Is the love drama of a young United States naval lieutenant and the daughter of the United States Ambassador. All modern implements of warfare, including the hydroplane and the wireless, are dem onstrated in action, and stirring battles are fought. The picture was made through a special permission snd co operation of the United States Navy Department. Policeman Sews Up Slit in Skirt AYDEN. N. C., Aug. 19.—A pretty 19-year-old girl appeared in the streets here wearing a generously *slit skirt. She didAit on a ^ager. A crowd of hodtinf meiMind boys fol lowed her. ^ \ A polieemaji escorted the girl to •• nearby millinery shop and ordered the slit sewed up. He called a car riage and sent the girl heune. Then he chaged the crowd away. L OF 40 Perish as Alaska Steamship Founders SEATTLE, Aui. 19.—Reports from JUneau. Alaska, where the steamer State of California sank to-day. es timated that 33 passengers and 7 members of the crew of the boat were dead. Forty-three passengers have been accounted for following the res cue by the steamer Jefferson. The .lefferson will arrive here Thursday, bringing the rescued pas sengers and the bodies of ten vic tims of the steamer wreck. Liverpool and Shorts Big Buyers on Western Weather Condi tions—Bears Cautious. NEW YORK. Aug. 19.—Cables from Liverpool were surprisingly strong to day, with the result that prices w r ere 5 to 15 points higher than the closing Quotations of Monday The Mexican "war scare” did not result in any pres sure. This, coupled with the absence of rains in the western belt of any con sequence and the Dallas wire of hot and clear weather, encouraged sufficient buying to send prices still higher. Trading was active and shorts appeared to bo nervous over prospects for a bullish weekly crop report covering Texas and Oklahoma. The feeling is still more bullish in the absence of rains in the western belt and the bull forces were inclined to predict higher prices. Liverpool was said to be a good buyer in this mar ket; also spot interests. During the forenoon the market dis played an inflexible tone. Offerings were extremely light and scattered, re sulting in prices increasing the advance 12 to 16 points from the previous close. August at the opening showed the largest gain, but later settled around 11.67, against an opening of 11.70. The detailed weather for Texas and the weekly weather report, which was construed as bullish brought out buying and a few r noints rally followed. Those who are advocating the bull side are advising friends to buy at the present level. The bearish element are awaiting fur ther developments in the western belt and as soon as there are signs of good rains it Is very likely there will be some good selling. Following are 11 a. m. bids In New York: August. 11.66; October. 11.17; December, 11.10; January, 10.99: March, 11.08.

Aug. 19.—The map shows a rather general rainfall over the southern half of Texas during the past 24 hours, but generally light, except at Beeville and Lullng. None in the south ern half or in Oklahoma; part cloudy in southern Arkansas, west Tennessee and the Texas coast. Generally fair elsewhere; no rain. Indications are for part cloudy with probably some scat tered showers in the Western States; cooler in the northern half of the belt; generally fair weather with moderate temperatures over the eastrn hall' of the belt is favorable, as an excess of rain was feared. Jverpool came In stronger than ex pected and guoted spots 4 points higher; sales, 8,000 nates. Cables report Russia and the continent buying. Political new’s is less favorable. London says that a third war in the Balkans seems near, as Turkey is apparently making preparations to move against Bulgaria. Galveston freight people report an ex cess of steamer room over the demand, and room engaged during the summer being relet, offered or to let as the de mand is not up to antieijiations This is confirmed in a way by the Galveston and Houston receipts being lighter than last year, particularly to-day. a'though picking and ginning are known to be In active operation over a large part of Texas. Our market opened nbout 10 points higher and ruled uuiet. which is expected will be unfavorable on the Western States. Unfavorable reports on north Texas and Oklahoma, owing to insuffi cient rnliffall. are also expected in the next few days from parties who are now traveling in that section to inspect, the crop, and the opinion lias generally settled to the anticipation of a bu'Ush September bureau showing 4 to 6 points decline in conditions.

Rains: Taylor, Texas, .28; Kan Anto nio, .10; Galveston. .08: Houston, 01, past twenty-four hours. * * * The volume of retail buying In the local cotton goods market last week in most houses was substantially ahead of a year ago, according to The New York Journal of Commerce. There Is an absence of speculative buying and a great caution is being exercised, yet total requirements for merchandise are becoming formidable, and it seems as if the retail trade has .liquidated in the past six months more than In any re cent similar selling period. Any broad buying for future account in the cotton goods market would bring on a sharp advance. • * * NEW ORLEANS, Aug 19.—Hayward & Clark: The weather map shows partly cloudy In Southern Arkansas, Went Ten nessee and Texas coast. Generally fair elsew-here. Lighter but rather general precipitation over southern half of Tex as. None shown by the map in the northern half, or Oklahoma. Indica tions are for partly cloudy to further showers over the western States; also Arkansas and Tennessee. Cooler weftth er generally in northern half of the belt. • • • Report here from Galveston freight agents says freight room engaged dur ing summer is being relet, owing to de mand for shipments not being up to expectations. * • * The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "Showers fell in Texas and Oklahoma Saturday, Sunday and Mon day, and while general good rains are needed, the talent is now convinced that some relief has come to the drouth- uffected areas. This, in conjunction with the favorable crop reports received from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. Alabama. Georgia. Tennessee and the Carolina*, caused the cotton market to ease off a bit. Oklahoma now seems to be in worse condition than any of the cotton-growing States, as a result of long continued dry weather. "Texas, on the other hand, has suf fered in part only, and certain sections there seem to be doing very well. Tex ans themselves say the boll weevil has done some damage in the southwestern portion of the State, but the recent dry weather has put an end to the progress of such damage on the west. The chronic crop killer seems to have failed in his attempts to reduce the crop promise to relatively small provisions, and tor this reason the talent is now talking big crop and moderate trade prospects with a greut deal of energy. In all of which demand for distant de livery and the causes thereof ure play ing a leading role. No general rains are in sight, but the weather bureau promises normal temperatures and showers during the next six days, from which the west may derive some fur ther relief in the near future " Stock quotations to 1:30 p. m.: 1:30 Prev.
