NEW YORjKCOTTON
New York. —The action of the cotton
market early today suggested that some
of the traders who had bought yester
day in anticipation of renewed rain in
the southwest over Sunday were dis
appointed by the failure of this morn
ing’s map to more definitely confirm
their predictions. There was consider
able scattering liquidation and after
opening steady at an advance of one
point to a decline of three points the
market soon sold five to six points low
er. Trading was only moderately ac
tive on this decline and while selling
may have been promoted by reports of
increasing curtailment among New Eng
land mills the news for this sort was off
set by the reports of a more active de
mand for cotton gods.
The market was steadier later on cov
ering with the close steady at a net de
cline of one to three points.
Cotton futures closed steady.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago, Ills. —Improved export inquiry
helped br ns about an upward turn to
day in wheat. Good domestic milling
demand added to the confidence of the
bulls. Prices which started a shade to
3-8 higher, continued to harden.
Scantiness of unsold stocks had a
bullish influence on corn. After open
ing 1-8 to 3-8 up quotations made a sub
stantial further gain.
Although oats were easy at first ow
ing to better fie'd conditions the market
afterward rallied.
Provisions held steady with hogs.
Bearish estimates of the United States
winter and spring crops led to a reac
tion in wheat. The close was easy at
a shade to l-Bal-4 net higher.
Rural offerings of corn proved as small
as ever and it closed steady, 18al-4o

WEEK IN COTTON
New York.—The cotton market has
been more or less unsettled and reac
tionary since the excited advance which
carried new crop months into new high
ground for the season immediately fol
lowing the bullish condition report of
Monday. Around 13 cents for Decem
ber deliveries, heavy realizing was en
countered, and while the sensationally
low condition figures inspired very gen
eral predictions of ultimately higher
prices, the appearance of Improving
weather In (he South encouraged consid
erable selling for a reaction. Heavy of
ferings were well enough absorbed on
the decline to demonstrate an import
ant buying power and at a reaction of
about $2.25 per bale, some traders
thought they detected evidences of
trade, demand, chiefly from Southern
spinners. Loral sentiment as to the
more immediate course of prices has be
come rather mixed, however, owing to
more satisfactory crop accounts from the
eastern belt, the fact that many con
sider prices over-high for this season of
the year and a feeling that continued
good weather for the balance of this
month, may work a very rapid im
provement in the Southwest.
Meanwhile ths fear of inadequate sup
plies following an Initial condition fully
six per cent below the ten-year average,
even should the weather prove normal
from now on, is supposed to have been
responsible for tho Increased activity re
ported in cotton goods circles and bul
iishly dlspsed traders predict that a
further improvement In this direction
will bring spinners Into the futures mar
ket for protection against forward saleH
while they also anticipate that any fur
ther cause for new crop complaint will
stimulate another excited buying move
ment. Liverpool, however, has not ful
ly responded to American advances and
it is claimed in bearish circles that for
eign spinners are not inclined to accept
the very small crop figures based on tbe
government report on conditions as of
May 25th.

WEEK IN FINANCE
New York—The range of prices on the
stock exchange this week was
in narrow limits and speculation was
slow. There were few changes of Im
portance In the situation and profes
sional traders, whose dealings made up
the bulk of the business, wrTo not in
clined to commit themselves heavily.
The freight rates case, In which a decis
ion was expected shortly, the uncertain
status of Mexican affairs and dull busi
ness conditions all tended to reprdks
speculative activity. Money rates herd
easy despite the continued outflow of
gold to Europe. Foreign exchange rates
rose to the high point of the movement.
The cables reported an uncertain state
of sentiment abroad on account of the
Ulster crisis and French political affairs,
which was at times reflected In the
sale of securities here for foreign ac
count. At home sentiment was affected
by the course of affairs at Washington,
on which Wall street was inclined to
place a bearish construction. Hopes of
a business revival in the near future
were hardly is .nerally expected as
was the case a h ago. Nevertheless
the feeling In itu mini circles was
cheerful and tho securities market show
ed a firm undertone as a rule.

of Southern pig iron are noted; wool is
active at strong prices; textile mills are
fairly well employed. crop conditions
have improved; railway traffic is
heavier.
“Finished steel, however, takes tone

The Eclipse of the Sun on August
21 Next is Causing Widespread
Attention Among Scientists
Washington.—-Tho eclipse of the
sun. on August 21 next —total in part
of Europe and Asia and partial In
northeastern America—is attracting
the widespread attention of the as
tronomers and scientists, various ex
peditions being arranged to witness
this phenomena. In view of the pub
lic interest in the event, Prof. C. G.
Abbott, head of the astronomical
branch of the Smithsonian Institution
and a recognized authority on solar
phenomena, gives the following pop
ular account of the eclipse, and the
scientific results sought from such
events.
On August 21, 1914, the moon will
pass exactly between the earth and
the sun, and there will be a total solar
eclipse. It will not be observed in
America, except as a smull partial
eclipse at sunrise in the northern
states and Canada, but in Persia, Rus
sia and Scandinavia tile full effect
will be seen.
Although the moon looks about the
same as the sun, it Is very much
smaller and nearer. The sun is 865.-
OOOmiles in diameter and 98,000,000
miles away, while the moon is 2,163
miles in diameter and 239,000 miles
away. On account, of the moon's small
size compared with the sun the shad
ow cast by the moon Is a cone and
the point of this cone Just barely
reaches the earth.
Diameter of Cone.
In the August eclipse the diameter
of the cone at the earth's surface is
only about 85 miles, so that the ecllpso
is visible as total only in a belt about
85 miles wide stretching over the
countries named above. The impor
tant cities of Bitlis, Trebizond, Kief.
Minsk, and Riga lie near the center
of this belt. It passes about a' hun
dred miles north of Stockholm and
Trondheim. The eclipse will bo soon
as partial over a very wide area, in
cluding northeastern America, Green
land, Europe, half of Asia and half
of Africa. Within tills region only
a portion of the sun's disk will be
hidden by the moon.
Wherever the solar eclipse is seen
as total, the sky will become nearly
as dark as full-moonlight, and a few
of the brighter stars and planets may
he seen. The duration of the total
ity is longest near Kief, in Russia,
where it is 2 minutes, 13 seconds.
Sometimes the moon and sun occupy
such positions that although the moon
passes directly between tho earth and
the sun the shadow cone does not
quite reach the earth. Such solar
eclipses are called "annular” and are
nowhere total eclipses. In the most
favorable case a total eclipse may
last over 7 minutes at a station, but
such occasions are very rare. Tho
very long total eclipses of this cen
tury are as follows:
May 29, 1919: 6.9 minutes; Peru,
Brazil, Central Africa.
June 8, 1937: 7.1 minutes; Pacific
ocean, Peru.
June 20, 1955: 7.2 minutes; Ceylon,
Siam, Philippines.
June 30, 1973: 7.2 minutes; South
America, Africa.
July 11, 1991: 7.1 minutes; Pacific
acean, Hawaii, Central America.
There will be total eclipses visible
In and Out Performances of the
Champ Pugs—Miserable Show
ing Made by Ritchie
Nelw York.—Tho miserable show
ing made by champion Willie Ritchie
in his fight with Charley White, tho
Chicago Whirlwind, in Milwaukee, is
another example of the ins and out
performance that bo many of our pres
ent day title holders are offering the
fight fans for their money.
The champions parade around the
country demanding five ten and some
times even twenty thousand dollars
for their share of the gate receipts.
They never take into consideration
tho bugs who pay all kinds of prices
for ringside seats. Their chief con
cern is their percentage of tho
purse and the calibre of their intend
ed battle is never mentioned. Every
time it is the unsuspecting fight fan
who has been trimmed.
With a Rep.
There should be a remedy for this
sort of thing. Every day we hear of
some fighter with a reputation going
into the ring in poor shape and being
belted all over the ring by the dark
horse. Tho champions are tho prin
cipal offenders. They draw down a
lot oT money before the fight Is ever
staged and instead of going into the
ring to give tho fight supporting pub
lic a run for their money, they go in
covered with hog fat, and are badly
trounced. This is prevalent particu
larly In the no decision towns, like
New York and Milwaukee.
This scrap with White will un
doubtedly have a good effect upon
RHchie. In his next few bouts the
champion may be expected to train
faithfully, and this he will have to do
In order to retain his title when tie

ured in tlie postponement of the bat
tle. The English lad !b conceded to
be one of tbe best lightweight boxers
today, and despite his lack of punch
will be able to make Ritcble hustle in
order to get the verdict.
Time and Again.
It was only the champion's remark
able stamina, courage and ring gen
eralshlp that saved him with White.
Time end again the crowd yelled to
the referee to stop the fight and It
was an awful plight for Ritchie, who
perhaps Is the best champion from a
scientific standpoint since Joe Gang
Seven of the ten rounds ot this fight
belonged to White, two were even
and Ritchie was fortunate enough to
grab the third. In this session the
Westerner showed some real class,
ebbing, and smashing White with
terrific body blows and had him al
i most reeling at the bell.
A] McCoy, the Brooklyn scrapper,
1 in a recent fight, did much tho same
ias Ritchie. He went Into the ring
I with victories over Georgia Chip, and
Frank KJaus. the former title holder,
! and fell an easy prey to the attack of
Billy Murray, of Now York. In this
! swat-fest Murray was tho aggressor
I from start to finish and had McCoy in
bad a dozen times.
Showed No Class.
The Brooklyn boy showed no class
at all and only because of his tre
mendous strength was able to stay
until the finish. Murray Is out and

same as the late Stanley Ketchel. Te

Aa the glare of the sun in the sky
la removed, and yet the moon hardly
more than covers the sun. It Is pos
sible at times of total solar eclipses
to see all tho celestial objects near
tho sun. These cannot bo seen at
other times because they are lost In
tho bright sky light. It is this which
makes astronomers so eager to observe
total eclipses. The most striking thing
seen is the solar corona, a beautiful
pearly light stretching away from thy
sun In all directions, something like
the Aurora Uorealia seen in northern
countries.
Nearer the Sun.
Tho corona extends from one to
three solar diameters away from the
sun. Its form changes from year to
year In connection with the number
of sun-spots which prevail. As the
present year will he one of compara
tively few sun-spots tho corona is ex
pected to have short but well-markod
polar rays and long equatorial stream
ers. In 1918 a total eclipse will he
visible in the United States, and as
tho sun-spots will then bo numerous
the corona will probably extend nearly
equally in all directions.
Formerly it was believed probable
that ono or more plnnets of the solar
system exist nearer the sun than Mer
cury, and it was hoped to discover
these during total solar eclipses. But
the sky has been so carefully searched
that no such objects large enough to
bo worth counting exist.
Formerly also It was regarded as
necessary to wait for eclipses and to
see and study the beautiful rosy
flames of hydrogen and other gases,
called prominences, which surround
tho sun. But these may now he ob
served at any timo by means of a
special apparatus. While value of to
tal eclipses has therefore somewhat
diminished, thero still remain many
studies which arc confined to them.
Careful Preparations,
Astronomers make very careful
preparations, and rehoarse all details
of their programs lest some of the
precious time should be wasted. They
observe with the eye and the photo
graphic plate to determine the exact
times of totality and the form and ex
tension of the corona. They photo
graph tho spectrum of the corona, and
also that of tho bright colored ring
of light which llerf at Its base Just
on tho edge of tho sun. They meas
ure tho brightness of tho Hky and of
tho corona, and make many other ob
servations useful tn learning about the
nature of the sun.
Many European and American par
ties propose to observe the coming
eclipse. Russians and Scandinavians
being on tho ground, will bo most
numerous, but all the other principal
European nations will fuEnish both
government and private observing par
ties. No official expedition is pro
posed to represent the United States
government. The Lick Observatory of
California will send an expedition in
charge of Director W. W. Campbell
to Russia, and Professor Todd, direc
tor of tho Amherst. College Observa
tory, proposes to observe in Persia.
that one will land right.
McCoy and Ritchie should serve as
good examples for the many coming
scraps that it is necessary even for a
champion to carefully prepare himself
for the fight.

IS AUTO FUEL
PROBLEWLOVEB?
Is Stated That a Substitute
For Petrol Has Been Dis
covered—Same Old Tale?
London.—We are becoming some
what oase-hardened and growing
more and more sceptical when we ara
told that substitute for petrol has
been discovered and tbe whole prob
lem of automobile fuel solved. We
have heard the same tale so often.
Yet the substitutes keep coming along
and this week I have been shown a
now process for which all sorts of
wonderful achievements are claimed.
It Is said that the invention can turn
ordinary common cannel coal, or
ahale, into first-class petrol at a cost
of less than tbre cents a gallon.
Compared with the prevailing price
of 38 cents and 42 cents a gallon this
leaves ample room for a revolution
In the existing charge and a very
handsome profit. ,
The machinery ot this new process
is housed In a huge brick-built appa
ratus, with a huge fuhnel at one end.
The cannel which looks like a kind
of cross-breed between coal and slae
—ls dropped down the funnel. The
machine does the rest, and a stream
of thick oil runs out of a tap Into a
bucket A man carries It away,
bucket by bucket, and out of It are
conjured: Petrol, Heavy fuel oil, par.
aff\n wax, and pitch.
From one ton of cannel, whiohi
costs little beyond tho price of shov
elling it off the side of a hill, can be
produced. It is claimed, sixteen gal
lons of petrol and seventeen gallons
of heavy fuel oil, suitable for two ini
