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.

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.

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. WANTED: SEVERAL BOYS TO CAR ry The Herald.

M9M9l«ttßl9Mt9«l City State • ••••«•• DEATHS, Daily Pattern 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 meets Freddy Welch, In London. The little Englishman has long boon on tho trail of the Frisco boy and sev eral times the size of the purse fig 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 out a slugger. He fights much tho same as the late Stanley Ketchel. Te keeps boring In all the time neither waiting for or looking for an ogenlng, just belting all the time, confident In the United State* on June 8, 1918, September 10, 1923 and January 24, 1925. 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 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 the oil-driven ships of the navy, ■■■ ■ r TO TIP LIGHTNING RODS WITH RADIUM IN FUTURE Berlin.—Tt may soon become a fash ion to tip off one’s lightning rods -with radium. German experiments have found that a very small quantity of It —two milligrammes electroplated upon a small copper dlso, gives a marked Increase In electrical attrac tion. Lightning rods thus equipped have been thoroughly tried out In the laboratory and have also worked sat isfactorily In the open air. At the prevallln* prices, It is estimated the radium two-milligram equipment would cost about S3OO. "Why don't you got rid of that mulsT" 1 "Well, suh,” answer'd Erast us Pink ley.
