GRAPES MAY BE SCARCE.
The Cold Weather in February Dam
aged the Vines.


The grape season is fairly open and sup
plies are coming from all the Southern
growing regions. About six weeks ago
the first shipments came from the South,
and since then there have been receipts
every day, although the quantities have
not always been large. Florida sent con-
siderable quantities north early in the
season, but, owing to the unprecedented
cold in February, the crop this year was
not large, and the quality was generally
unsatisfactory Prices ruled low, and re-
ceivers did not regret the closing OF the
season.
From the Carolinas a few fancy grades
of all varieties have come forward in re-
frigerator cars, and have brought full
prices but the bulk of receipts so far
this year have not been satisfactory and
prices have ruled low.
The Northern grape regions, including
Virginia. New York, Ohio and New Jer-
sey, will begin TO send their yields to mar
ket in a short time. Reliable estimates of
the probable yield this season are difficult
to obtain, but according to recent infor-
nation from the principal producing
sections, the outlook is less promising than
last year at this time. The severe cold in
February did considerable damage, because
it weakened the vines and thus prevented
full fruition. Prices on best qualities Will
probably rule high and no one can tell
what the output will be. hence the impos-
sibility of making satisfactory predictions.

Orders Issued to City and Suburban
Line Motormen.
Complaint has been made to the District
Commissioners by H. M. Dellinger, of 231
G Street northwest, that the cars of the
G Street line of the City and Suburban
Railway make an unnecessary amount Of
noise in passing his residence. He alleges
that the cars are run at an excessive rate
of speed, that the motormen ring their
gongs almost necessarily, and that the
motors are out of order.
The Commissioners instituted an inyes-
tigation and secured from l.. p. Bradshaw,
one of their inspectors, statement TO the
effect that personal investigation showed
that the so-called noise" was the legiti-
mate result of new running gear and of in
sufficient wear of wheel fianges to permit
them to fit the rail grooves and run
smoothly. The inspector stated that he
found the motors and cars in good condi-
ton, but discovered that the cars were in
some instances being run at the excessive
speed of seventeen miles an hour. The
matter was brought to the attention OF
the police, who will arrest all motormen
who run their cars at rate of speed over
twelve miles an hour. When the COM
plant was referred TO the officials of the
road an order was issued notifying mo-
tormen that failure to observe the speed
regulation w,l result in their immediate
discharge. Motormen were also notified
that if they are convicted in the Police
Court for running cars at excessive speed
they will have to pay their own fines.

ACTIVITY ON THE MARKET
Heavy Operations Recorded for
Both Sides of the Account.
Proft-Tai<ing a Chief Feature of the
Days Trading-A Generally Firm
Is Not Wholly LacI<ing-The Bulls
Seem TO Grow More Aggressive.

New York, Aug. 24-There was very
animated speculation in securities today,
and the tone of the general market, while
in the main firm, was not altogether want
ing in feverishness. The dealing in the
market evidently reflected large operations
for both accounts on both sides of the
market; that is TO say, that the realiza
tion of profits was apparent in large volume
and operations for the short account could
be detected throughout. On the other hand
commission houses. for the most part, were
large buyers OF stocks, and, in certain quar-
ters of the market, active bull manipula-
ton was plain. The result of these conflict
ing operations was to give to the market
at all times the appearance of some irreg-
ularity. At the opening of business SUBJ
stantial advances were common throughout
the list. The initial advance was derived
partly from the London market, which WAS
commonly strong, notably in the American
quarter. Foreign houses subsequently trad
ed very heavily in this market, but on bal
ance their operations were comparatively
small. Following upon the initial advances
the already noted profit realizing appeared
in such large volume that the market un-
derWent general ana pronounced TeactiOu
but it subsequently, rallied on both general
outside support and apparent concerted
buying in various quarters OF the market.
There was little or nothing in the actual
news of the day, or in the changes in out
side conditions, calculated to engage at
tention. Tic local traction stocks were
firmer today than for long tine, and
they were also more generally active than
for number OF days. Speculative inter-
grade stocks. inclLdine the l-tcEison Mis-
souri, Pacific, Union Pacific, Northern Pa
cific and also in the anthracite coal stocks.
The last named were unusually active and
were commonly strong, on the belief that
the shareholders will soon receive more
tangible evidences of the lettering trade
conditions.
The strength OF these stocks was again
reflected in the shares of the bituminous
coal properties, which continued to ad-
vance. 0iher strong features OF the mar
ket were Kansas ana Texas, Minneapolis
and st. Louis, the Wisconsin Central is
the industrial quarter were in large volume,
but the movements there did not over
shadow or particularly affect the market,
apart from those stocks. Sugar Refining,
American and Continental Tobacco and
Anaconda were the conspicuous features of
the group. Other strong features of the
afternoon dealings were Chesapeake and
Ohio and Ontario and Western. The re-
mainder of the market continued rather

New York, Aug. 24.-Numerous accounts
from the South indicate very free and
early movement. Some intimate that har-
yesting will be over in thirty days. Mean
while, Texas reports monopolize attention.
The majority of these reports picture the
situation as so gloomy that the trade hesi-
tates about ereditlng them being aware of
the tendency OF Southern correspondents
TO exaggerate the facts. The general feel
ing is perhaps more bullish than bearish
The market opened with prices five to six
points higher, but rapidly eased off six TO
eight points on profit taking. In the alb
sence of much of short interest and sell
ing movement and with the doubt as to
the situation, the market is likely to wit
ness frequent fluctuations. Fair weather
was indicated by the Government report
excepting at Montgomery and Insignificant
rain at Amoriila, Texas.
Cables were 1-2 lower for futures, un-
changed for spots Spot sales were 1000.
Liverpool was depressed on false reports
from New Orleans claiming general rains
in Texas. At the close the level of prices
was off eight to twelve points from the
opening.

A consensus OF the opinions OF conserva-
tive brokers regarding the present market
would probably be that it is particularly
strong with an upward tendency and a
good prospect of developing into bull
movement at any time. Such was the idea
expressed by many yesterday, when active
work by the bears in many directions failed
utterly TO force prices down, and the
opinion was reiterated at the close, when
after a day of activity on both sides the
level was little changed, but in general a
trifle higher than on Wednesday. The
market was almost featureless yesterday,
except for this very noticeable strength at
all times. The grangers made small gains,
as did the Pacific shares generally. Amer
ican Tobacco was buoyant during the ear
ly part of the day, reaching new high
price level. Tennessee Coal and Iron tum-
bIed several points. The eoalers advanced
well, Ontario and Western being notice
ably strong. The outlook for today's mar
ket seems TO be good, and many believe
that the week will close with higher prices
all around. The opinions regarding the
bank statement are generally hopeful, ow-
ing to the fact that gold has ccme East
this week from Chicago and other Western
cities. London was buyer of Americans
again yesterday.

The foreign buying OF Northern Pacific

even though it has gone up several points
already recently. An extra dividend OF
per cent is TO be given the stock in Sep

Four per cent is being earned on the stock
and with per cent of this paid to stock
holders there is evidently good reason why
