Money Develops Greater Ease. Current transactions in the stock mar ! ket represent in large part tho opera j tions of the professional element, which I continues to show no disposition to make ! extended commitments on either side of I the speculative account. Efforts, how over, to induce an active selling move- I ment constantly are reported, but no im |port:ir.t liquidation has taken place on ! the exchange sinco the wave of selling:' , that s\.v:.t over the market on July 26. There has been, however, some heavy I liquidation outside the exchange,, large blocks of stocks have been taken over ; from crippled operators at private sale, ] the so-called Hawley issues figuring to a considerable extent in such transactions. Many people have been severely injured financially in the last few months as a : consequence of the great depreciation that has taken place in that time in se curities prices, and their only escape from still heavier losses has been through the willingness of strong bank- Ing interests to relieve them of their loads, at sacrifice prices, of course. Some most attractive bargains recently have been picked up by capitalists who have shared in the financing of the "lame ducks" of the Street, and, according to the point of view of many traders on the floor of the Stock Exchange, further op portunities will be presented before the close of the summer for the accumula tion of high grade issues at extremely low figures. • The assumption that liquidation win continue is based upon the theory that coming events will tend to promote in vestment selling and bear pressure in the market, the possibility that the dark picture exhibited by the professional operators for the decline will not be fol lowed by dire developments failing to find many adherents in the speculative community. According to the calcula tions of the bear element the harvests will turn out far lighter than any indi cation now suggests, money will reach an abnormally high ranee, the Congress elections will go against the Republican party. Europe will shut its doors to gold withdrawals for New York account, railroads will institute a policy of divi dend reduction as an object lesson to the Interstate Commerce Commission, the iron and steel trade will go to pieces and the Supreme Court will dissolve the American Tobacco and Standard Oil companies. These and other horrors, however, will hardly disturb the equa nimity of intelligent investors. It is quite possible that further liquidation will be recorded on the Stock Exchange, but there appears to be no indication, that the United States will go into bank ruptcy. Short selling and the circulation of false rumors have been responsible for many recent declines in stock prices, notably in the case of Northern Pacific, which is now quoted in the neighbor hood of forty-eight points under its high point of 1909. The argument is ad vanced that as a result of competition from the St. Paul's Pacific Coast exten sion and of the damage to the wheat crop in the Northwest the dividend on Northern Pacific will be reduced, but there is nothing in the attitude of the directors of the company or in the char acter of the road's earnings that suggests that any change will be made at the next dividend period, three months from ! now. There is a large lot of undigested new Northern Pacific stock in the mar ket, and the chief cause of the decline in the price of the issue is found in this fact and in the efforts of a heavy short interest to cover Its contracts at at tractive prices. The traffic over the Northern Pacific will increase as a natu ral development of the territory through which the property's lines run, and St. Paul competition will not be distinctly felt, except for a short time. The idea that the Kennedy estate is selling its vast holdings of Northern Pa cific and Great Northern at prevailing prices is not well founded, but the sug gestion, however, has helped along the decline in the two stocks. Certain indi viduals identified with the Hawley fol lowing have been compelled to liquidate large lines of Chesapeake & Ohio and other so-called Hawley shares, but Mr. Hawley himself has not been a seller, nor has any one been "gunning" for him, as rumored in bear circles. Speculators who have an idea that they can dispose of Mr. Hawley as a factor in the rail road and financial world will have to in clude as victims the Morgan and Na tional City Bank people, as well as other financial interests who are factors in the railroads that are now classed as Haw ley properties. If further large blocks of stocks are hanging over the market they will be taken by the bankers who on all recent declines have been strengthening their ownership of the American railroads through purchases of securities in the open market and at private tale. • % The railroads are snowing almost rec ord breaking gross earnings, yet not re turns are bad In the larger number of reports corning to hand. For the month of June such loading- properties as the Pennsylvania, the New York Central, the Atchison and the Union Pacific pre sent substantial Improvement In gross receipts, but losses in net results, the Calling off in the latter hi the face of Rteady g-^.ir.3 In gross creating the im pression in the minds of iuspiciou3 Wall Street folk tr.^i net earnings are *•■ Ing doctoral in order to back up the plea oi the transportation companies that they are justified In advancing freight charges.

Foreign Exchange, Administrator Guardian TEXAS DOMINATES COTTON Will Be Centre of Interest Be cause of Need of Showers. New Orleans. Auk. 7.— lt will be a -weather market this week on the cotton exchanges. Interest in the new crop is fast replacing that In the old, especially since the bull c'laue Is reports! to be resting on its oars. Although the wf ather from now on to the end of the season In the eastern half of the cotton belt will be of great importance, Texas this week will be in the centre of the stage became of the Imperative need for showers there. Last week comparatively little rain fell. Should any great amount of rain be reported over Sunday, when the market opens the advantage will be all with the short side. Fluctuations win be narrow and nervou and traders will put in their time gathering information from different localities in Texas and will allow other features to pass unnoticed. Prolonged rains in the state would work more or less injury to open cotton. The movement of new cotton in Texas up to the end of last week was larger than usual, but spot people collected information showing that thi.s week it would greatly in create. If this la so, the market may benefit by it, no matter what the ultimate crop promise may be. as the situation at present is not such as to stand large receipts from of all tMa. Texas probably w-ill dominate the immediate future of the cot ton market. RECORD FORJMPORTS Show a Remarkable Increase Under Payne Tariff Law. Washington. Auk. ma terials imported during the first eleven months of the operation of the Payne tariff bill August 1. 1909. to June 30. 1910. have exceeded in quantity those of any corre sponding period in the history of the coun try, according to figures prepared by the Bureau of Statistics. Of iron ore there was imported during the period mentioned almost 5,000.000.000 pounds. as compared with SJ3MIMM pounds during the same period last year and 2.288.000.000 pounds in 1907. the former high record year. The increase in wood pulp was from 451. 000,000 pounds in Urn to 575,000,000 in 1909 and 751,000,000 in 1910: in copper ore and matte from 596.000.000 pounds in 1907 to 746,000. >». in 1909 and 890,000.090 this year- in copper pigs and bars, from 183.000.000 pounds in 1907 to 2D9.00&,0f»> in 1909 and 71T7.0mM this year; in crude manu facturers' materials, from $448,000,000 worth ir. 1907 and $4:>S.<»>V>X> worth in 1909 to $531. 000.000 worth in 1910. and in partly manu factured materials, from $252,000,000 worth In 1907 and OMyMM» in 1909 to $266,000,000 this year.

Such hi the ! view of the Immigration Commission, of which Senator Dillingham. of Vermont, -is chairman. It is presented in a report made by the commission as a resoit of an In quiry covering abcut fifty thousand cases in that section. The commission found more than 7.' per j rent of the miners to be foreign born, ! many of them unable to write any lan guage and almost halt of them incapable ; of speaking English. Generally they live in bouses owned by the companies, and 1 these the owners refuse to sell to their oc- ■ cupants, thus encouraging unsettled condi tions among the workers. "None of the i houses." it is said, "are any too good." while "in souse cases they are barely tit for j human habitation." Most of the purchases of the necessaries of life are made at company stores. • the price being deducted from the wages of the employe. Trading at these stores is not compulsory In all cases, but practically sol in many: and it was discovered that those who patronized the company were more likely to be continued in employment in the event of a partial shutdown. The ay- ! erage year earnings of heads of families was found to be only $431. This is fre quently pieced out by taking in lodgers, a system which necessarily leads to much overcrowding, as also to the destruction of separate family life A large percentage of the foreigners are from Southern and Eastern Europe, and only a small percentage had ever been em- • ployed in mines bet ore coming to America, i To this circumstance and the their Igno rance of the English language the commis sion attributes many accidents. The report says that little civic interest I is manifested, especially by the new. ar- ! rivals. After a residence of ten years only ' about 22 per cent of them had taken steps to become citizens. The general standard or efficiency was found to be low. In all ' respects conditions were somewhat better with the native Americans than with the foreigners. PRINT CLOTH MARKET.

Albany, Aug. Z.— lTMtoi -opi<-.- . H throughout the state during the ■ month manufacturers who ar* •! wholly or in part on water power will &ca> a serious situation. Reports mad<> to the State Water Supply f'ommission sh conditions are already serious and that m many places a shortage even of puatto water supplies has occurred, while ndvp tion has been impeded. Interesting Investigations and measure ment 3of stream flow have been made by ! C. O. Covert, district engineer in charge I the hydrojrraphic work thnt Is Beams dons j In New York State by the United States i Geological Survey in co-operation with ifca : commission- The report tor the month of 1 July made by Mr. Covert indicates that while lack of rain has been severely felt the underlying cause of the unusually tow water Is found In the fact that this is •-- third successive dry year. The drouth 'if last summer so depleted the subsurface water supply that it is now insufSeient t» equalize in any appreciable extent the Sow of streams. • ■;% '. Basing his conclusions on data collectrf from all parts of the state, Mr. Cov»r? says: ~~-~-? Generally speaking, the drouth ■vrhxci maintained throughout the state during tts month of June was continued through Js&, being broken by slight rains, wU how ever, were insufficient to increase or to eves maintain the flow of the streams as It «• isted in June. The streams in the souths* part of the state were somewhat affected by the heavy rains in that section from ts» loth to the 13th of the month. This is esp* t-ially true in the Genesse? drainage wrirt* the mean flow for the month of July was. perhaps. 5 per cent greater than for o» corresponding month in 1309. Dnrtaw the second and third decades fre» ni'nit showers have occurred v<>ry geo«» ally throughout the state, but they have not been of sufficient magnitude to do mot* than to maintain the low water sfa'-'e. Tin Hudson Kiv»-r streams hav< been from 15 to 25 and 30 t>er cent lower than in ir«o. acd if another drouth should come di:rinsr A3 cu-r. undoubtedly extreme low water rec ords will be established on all oi thest -■ -■ 1 1.-. I* is a noticeable fact that the str?an3 whi?li have num*n>ua lakes in theft upr**" courses, and which have sandy, mnrs'2? dra*cajze basins, are maintaining :i muci better "ll> «■ than tho.-e streams which ha*» precipitous thoi'gh -nell timbered, basins.
