CAMP MEADE, Middletown, Pa. Au-
gust 23.-The movement of the 1st Divis-
ion of the I'd Army Corps from Camp AL
ger will begin this evening and General
Gobin's command will be here by Thurs

Graham has ordered electric. lights for d.
vision headquarters and signal boards Will
be erected to point the way to the regi-
ments.
All of the milk furnished the troops is
examined, and fresh beef must either be
broiled, boiled, roasted or made into hash
The supply of provisions and good water is
abundant.
The camp of the 10th Pennsylvania Regi-
ment has been changed from the low lands
along the trolley line to healthy range of
hills. The 10th Battalion does not like the
idea of being consolidated with the 18th
Pennsylvania. There seems to be no help
for it, as all of the regiments at the camp
are twelve-company regiments and there
can be no exception in the case of Col.
Smiths regiment. Col. Richards of the
10Th may be sent to Porto Rico when the
battalion is Joined to the 18th.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch TO The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. August 23.-The market
opened with heavy realizing and with
drawal OF support in some of the active
stocks. Traders who began working for a
reaction yesterday afternoon were sellers
for a turn. The decline in Manhattan &C.
CURED, as usual, on rather small sales.
The stock goes down more on lack OF sup
port than on large selling There have
been intimations that support would be
given around par. but was not forthcom-
ing in any volume The price went through
par on coo shares
1t is understood that the earnings of Man
haitian from July l up to Friday show a
decrease of $4,000. 1t is apparent that the
short interest is constantly growing larger
and the disposition Of the leaders in the
market seems TO be to step aside after a
big day in transactions and invite the SELL
ing OF stocks by bear traders after which
they buy again, forcing bears to cover and
20 make a new and higher range of prices
There is no special weakness I'm the market
Some stocks suffered from lack OF sup
port, and stop orders being reached, but
the undertone is decidedly favorable
The granger stocks. while suffering some
what in the early morning reaction, showed
a strong undercurrent and reacted easily
Ihis was especially true of st. Paul.
1SiOOhlsH IdDlu transit WAS one OF the
most active OF the industrials and under
heavy sales broke about three points, but
showed plenty of recuperative powers later,
rallying to the highest point of the day and
closing steady.
The general market has been COMPARE
lively dull. and at times almost stagnant
but there seems to be little stock pressing
for sale, except in some few specialJies
notably Consolidated Gas which practically
repeated its wide fluctuations of yester-
day, opening at 1874, declining to 1856 and
then sharply recovering to lSS.
The weakness in this speciality is sup
posed to be on the decreased earnings as a
result of Ile reduction in price of gas the
dull season of the year and electric light
competition. There are rumors afioat to
the effect that the company will be obliged
to encroach upon its surplus in order to
keep up its current rate of dividends.
The buying of Northern Pacific preferred
has been very good for some time. Many
think that this security as a four per cent
stock, with two to four per cant on the
common stock behind il, should be cheap at
these prices. National lead was one of the
most active of the Specialties early in the
day, opening at thIrty-eight and three
eighths, advancing quickly to thirty-nine
and five eighths, and declining to thirty
eight and one-half during the first half
hour under large transactions, after which
IL became steady around thirty-nine There
was large realizing on opening figures, but
these sales appeared to be easily absorbed
leaving the market in this specially with
perhaps more improved tone. There
seems to be good support given this stock
and it appears to have plenty of friends.

DEMENTED AND A wANDERER.
Young Man, Evidently a Soldier,
Found Naked In Woods.

A young white man, aged about twenty
quently found to be Clayton S. Deeter, was
found Sunday afternoon wandering around
in Montgomery county, outside the District
line, demented and in nude condition
excepting for pair of trousers, which
some one had given him. A constable of
the county took the young man charge,
and, thinking he came from Washington
he was brought to the Georgetown station
house. Here the unfortunate young man
was unable to give an account of himself
or even to give his name. In the trousers
pockets the sum Of $50 in cash was found
and also a ticket to Hagerstown, Md,
which had several punches in it. A bag
gage check was also found. The constable
informed the local police that the man was
first heard from at Trevalia, where he was
discovered naked and wandering about
AS the young man looked like he was sick

or about to have an attack-the police am

morning Lieut.. Swindells took the baggage
check to the depot and in looking over the
effects of the young man discovered a suit
of soldier clothes and letter addressed to

BUSINESS PROSPECTS
A Greater Activity Confidently Expected in
the Fall Trade.
Some Reasons for the Belief That
Money Will BE More Abund-
ant In All Lines

The opinion that vas entertained before
the close of the war that e cessation of
hestilities would be followed by activity in
all classes of business is one that is more
generally heard now than ever before. A
number Of men who are conservative in
their views as well in their business
methods do not hesitate to express the
belief that the financial depression is over.
and that when business is resumed again
in the fall, after the annual summer vaca-
ton, it will be greater in volume than has
been the case for several years past
Some men in different lines say they be-
ieve there will be improved business con-
ditions in the fall, for one reason among
others that it seems to be the belief of
large number of men. The tone. they say,
is different than it has been. and the gen
eial feeling is more hopeful. Then, of
course, there is the more obvious ason
why revival of activity in all forms of
business is expected and that Is the abund
ance of money.
Abundance of Money.
While financial institutions claim to be
doing a pretty fair business, yet most CT
those in the active management of such
concerns will admit they could do better IL
there was more of demand for money.
1t is the belief that the pressure TO get
this accumulated money out where 1t can
earn something is becoming so strong that
l. SdHIlol ne hunger Te5iSteu, anu tIldt Aie
tide of investment is about to set in, Fer
haps slowly at first.
1t is always said that after a financial
depression. such as this country has just
passed through, ttat real estate is the last
to feel the effect of a revival when II
comes 1t is evident in this city the IN
terest in realty is now increasing, and the
Indications point to more active business
in this line during the coming fall.
One Mans Opinion.
One of the largest real estate dealers in
the city a man well known, not only for
the soundness of his Judgment as to real
estate values but who is recognized as con-
sentative and safe in his methods. said to-
day in talking of the future of the real
estate market that from indications he had
noted recently in the course of his own
business he was of the opinion that during
the fall there would be good business
done II have not only" he said, made
several sales in the course of the past few
days, which, as every one knows, has been
unusual for a period of as many months
for several years past, but | have had
good many inquiries from people coming
into the Office to inquire about investments,
evidently looking around for some place to
put their money. In my opinion, there can
be no mistaking such Indications.
But even without these signs of return
ing prosperity, would not one be safe in
predicting an early revival in business?
Are not the conditions all favorable? 1t Is
a fact that people now cannot find an in
vest<nent for their money that will perhaps
not pay them more than per cent They
are not expecting per cent investments
any longer
