NEW YORK, July 4.-Brsdstreets sayss
General trade in both commercial and In
dustrial lines is duller, but the falling 10,

Comparatively few changes are noted, bus
most of them are decreases In either price
or demand. Quotations for wheat, Indian
corn. cotton. oats, iron and steel are lower.
Sugar has reacted after the decline last
week: leather remains conspicuously nrm,
with shoe factories busily employed, and
petroleum and anthracite coal are higher.

Is that the immediate outlook for business
Is not favorable

The total number of business failures in

so NOW 1T Is BLAND OR BoIEs.
These Two Receive Large Acquisitions as
the Delegations Arrive.

hhtbt Two htcetNt Large ACQUISITIONS as
the Delegations Arrive.
The revolt against the ''cabal" unques-
tionably has had the effect of Fastening
declarations by arriving delegates in
favor of the two leading candidates
Bland and Boies-and both claim large
acquisitions. The boomers for both have
also begun arriving in force, and the head
quarters are besieged by marching clubs
headed by brass bands and countless
thousands of shouters who have followed
in their wake. 1t is "a question whether
Bland or Boies has been the larger gamer
by the developments. The Iowa candi-
dates managers have received many as
surances of support from the south and
west, and although Bland Is still hailed
and heralded as the logical candidate and
undoubtedly gaining ground. he has some
weak points in the present arrangement
of his lines.
An occurrence that gave Bland big
boom was the action of the Illinois dele
CATION in officially announcing that thirty
out of the forty-eight delegates had de-
clared their intention to vote for Bland
1t was semi-officially announced that
thirty out of the forty-eight would give
support 10 John r. Mclean for the second
place on the ticket. The announcement
caused a commotion at the headquarters
of various delegations. Its authenticity
was doubted for time and the legitimate
character of the declaration is now
questioned. II was based ON a poll of the
delegation engineered by Hinrichsen,
after he had secured statement from Alt
geld that the latter would abide by tho
will of the majority.
Altgeld men now challenge the ac-
curacy of the poll and throw out an In
timation that sharp politics were resorted
to- One of Altgelds purposes is to secure
the adoption of a plank in the platform
condemning federal interference in the
local affairs of states. The doubt cast on
Altgeld's attitude furnishes cause for
anxiety in the Bland camp. The with
drawal of the Illinois delegation after the
flourish Of trumpets with which its arrival
was announced might prove disastrous.
The Matthews boom seems to have been
shattered by a row in the Indiana delega-

REAL ESTATE GOSSIP
Another Purchase Of Property by
Mr.. A. L. Barber.
PROPOSED ENTERPRISE OF 4 SYNDICATE
Wheel Paths on City Streets for
Bicycle Riders.
SOME NEW Bull D i y G S

Quite an addition has been made to the
generous building site which Mr.. A. L..
Barber recently acquired when he pur-
chased the Dulaney tract at the intersec-
ton of the Woodley and the Tenleytown
roads. The tract, as purchased from the
heirs of the late Mrs. Dulaney, contained
twenty-five acres. On the eastern line of
this property, with a frontage of go feet
on Woodley road, was small strip of land
which a few years ago the late Mrs. Du-
laney sold to the late Mrs. Myers. Through
Col. Robert 1. Fleming, Mr.. Barber has
just completed arrangements for the pur-
chase of this tract, which contains five
acres. The price agreed upon is 22,JO0,
which is at the rate of 81, 500 per acre.
Mr. BARRIERS building site now adjoins
what is known as the Busey place, occupied
as a summer home by Mr.. John r. Mclean.
1t is interesting to note in this connection
that this piece of five acres was purchased
from the late Mrs. Dulaney some four
years ago for about $3.50, ard. as may be
seen, there has been a handsome aprecia-
ton in value in that period.
VT. BARRIERS Residence.
Workmen are now engaged in clearing
OFF the buildings from the Dulaney tract
and making preparations for the erection
of the house which Mr.. Barber intends to
build there for his own residence. Col.
Fleming Is preparing the plans, and it is
estimated that the house will cost in the
neighborhood of s2OO,OOO. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Barber to build it of stone, of the
same variety which is used in the house
which he built on 14th street extended,
known as Belmont, and which was also
used In the construction of the Church of
the Covenant.
This stone Is to be taken from a quarry
In the vicinity of Cabin John bridge, which
is owned by Mr.. Barber. 1t has not been
exactly determined how the material will
De brought to the site, but it Is probable
that 1t will be loaded on canal boats and
brought to Georgetown. where 1t will be
placed on fiat car, which will be run out
on the Georgetown and Tenleytown electric
load to the site of the proposed house.
Plans of u Syndicate.
The improvement which Mr. Barber pro-
poses to make has naturally drawn the at
tention of investors and others to this sec.
tion of the suburbs, and there is more or less
talk of transactions of various kinds. 1t is

The old Carroll house, at the northwest

pal changes are to be in the interior, al
though the entrance will be altered so as
to make it on level with the parking, and
the steps now required to reach the front
door will be placed inside the vestibule. The
stable in the rear will be fitted up for a
laundry.
Traffic On City Streets.
1t is evident that all the problems which
have arisen in connection with the growing
popularity and use Of the bicycle have no.
as yet been solved. This is especially the
case in cities or crowded celters where BIZ
cycle riders are daily becoming an import
ant factor. 1t is likely that before long
some consideration will have to be given
TO this phase of the matter by the authcri-
ties of this city, although 1t would seem that
with our wide streets there would be no
danger of a congested condition Of travel
However, Independent of the presence of
the bicycle rider. the growth of the city, as
well as the expansion of the business or
manufacturing interests, has resulted in
making one or two localities in the business
section Of the city busy scenes of throneed
activity.
The situation became so serious that the
District authorities quite recently adoDted
regulations requiring street cars to stop on
the near side of crossings, and also police
officers are regularly assigned to duty at
certain points, in order to supervise the
traffic and prevent accidents Now that hi
cycle riders so generally use the streets of
the city, 1t can readily be understood that
the volume of street traffic is thereby con
s1derably enlarged, and, as stated, no doubt
before long some official recognition will
have to be made Of that fact
Path for Wheelmen.
In this connection the suggestion has been
made that certain portion of some Of the
leading thoroughfercs of the city might be
set aside and devoted to the exclusive use
OF wheelmen. For example, it Is proposed
that space, say, six feet wide, be reserved
in the center of Massachusetts avenue, and,
In order that it may be kept for the ax-
elusive use Of bicycle riders, it Is suggested
that the surface Of this wheel path he raised
a rev inches above the level Of the pave
ment, thus presenting sufficient barrier to
Its use by vehicles, and at the same time not
preventing free communica ton from one
side of the street to the other.
There are certain streets which are used
by Wheelmen in reaching the suburbs, and
II Is proposed to have similar special road
ways along such thoroughfares Then, in
the business sections of the city, special
facilities Of this sort would, it is thought
have the effect of drawing the Wheelrnen
away from already crowded thoroughfares
