SOUTHERN WAS WEAK
While Pennsylvania crept Upward In Sympathy to the Hooking Valley Movement-centraI of Geor-
 ga Bonds a Feature.

New York, August 7.-There was a further expansion in the volume of trad ing in today's stock market. and the same kind of irregular strength which was shown yesterday. There were points of weakness in the market, Tn spite of marked strength of the most conspicu- ous stocks. and there was still larger number of important stocks which did not respond to the advance and were simply dull and neglected throughout the session. There were violent movements in some usually obscure stocks, also in some which are always active and prom inent, the prices nuctuating E or full point between transactions. It took but two transactions to lift Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern, 15 points. following 25 point rise yesterday. This was the rise of the announcement by the protective committee of the minor ity stockholders that they had secured an offer of high price for the outstano- Ing minority stock unassenting to the plan of exchange with Rock Island. Other stocks which seemed to be affected Tn sympathy were Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Kanawha and Michi- gan and the New York, Chicago and St. Louis. The Hooking Valley stocks and Louisville and Nashville moved upwards with almost equal violence, but with no specific development to explain the move ment. The rise in Illinois Central had in it's favor excellent reports of gross earnings for July and net earnings for
  rious southern and southwestern stocks, but the resulting price movement was irregular.
 The large buying of Southern railway was without much effect on the market. The weakness of Manhattan was attrib- uted to fears of strike by engineers and motormen. The rise in Pennsylva- nia and it's subsidiary coal carriers was apparently in sympathy with the Hook ing Valley movement. National Lead was reported in demand for some large financial interests. There was not much in the general situation upon which to base a rise in prices since the news showed little change in conditions, which continued favorable to values.
 The sub-treasury is absorbing a con siderable sum from the money market, but the premium on New York exchange at Chicago indicates that the time of currency is still flowing this way. For eign exchange is firm, but the very strong return made today by the Bank of France reflects the accumulation of resurces at that capital and the unlike resources of further pressure from there for gold for repayment of loans Lon dcn showed encouragement over the evi- lences of the improved condition of the King and England and bought some stocks The bouyancy of a few stocks continued until the close, which was ac- tive and steady.
 Central of Georgia bonds were the only feature of the bond market, which was otherwise dull and irregular. Total sales. par value, $2,145O00. United States ss declined 4 per cent on last call.

To the markets surprise monetary ease is not looked for this month as a further 20 per cent consol in- stallment Is due on September {. The bank returns show that the government has been disbursing freely.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, August 7,-After considerable strength in grains today the markets suffered a severe break-corn in particu- lar. The cause was that the year prom ised to be too prolific to suit the bulls. There was a good demand for high grade wheat and very little of this sort was coming to market. The influence however. could not offset the incentive to sell heavily in the corn pit when support was withdrawn and when corn broke oth- CT grains dipped in sympathy. At the close September was 1@1k lower; Sep tember wheat 1s@Ac lower and Septem- Der oats h@Ac down. Provisions closed 71k to 15c lower.

 Liverpool is simply following New York and no relief is expected from there unless spinners should grow nerv- ous over crop prospects which, although now regarded as fine. may ultimately prove poor.

New York, August 1.-The cotton mar ket opened steady with prices to g points up on a general buying movement in which the shorts took a leading part The English market reports were decid- edly more bullish than anticipated and there were complaints of excessive tenn peratures in the western belt Receipts were not up to expectations, demand for spot cotton was more active and 1t was seen that the New York stock was rap idly diminishing away.
 Rumors that August shorts were to be given something of squeeze to some ex- tent stimulated investment support. To- ward the close of the first part the mar ket eased off trife under proft-takng' but toward midday hardened on renew ed demand from the shorts who were exceedingly nervous. Later in the after noon active Wall street buying and some commission house support sent the whole list up rapidly.

Reliable cables from the other side report the Manchester spinners bare af stocks and predict an improvement during the next few weeks despite gen eral belief on the part of the British trade in a large output from the growing crop. The market opened with August to points higher, while the other posi- tions moved up to points. Immedi- ately after the first call there was a re action carrying August down five points and other months two to four points, but a subsequent recovery sent August up again to the extent of points, the other positions regaining two to five points This was followed by a series of light fluctuations until the close when the board showed net gains on the day of Il points on August, on September and to points on the winter months.

CONTRACTORS ARRESTED
Alleged Violations Of Laws Are Be-
ing Prosecuted by the Superin-
tendent of Building Inspection.

For the first time in very long
time arrests We're made yesterday of
contractors who have violated the
building laws in force in this city in
other ways than by neglecting or re-
fusing to take out building permits.
The contractors arrested We're p. j.
McAndrew and two members of the
firm of Ezra Finn's Sons and the ar
rests We're made at the instance of Su-
perintendent of Buildings r. l.. Brown.
The latter also caused the arrest of
avenue, for failing to take out a build
Ing permit for certain alterations and
repairs made on the building which
bears his name. a hearing in his case
was conducted before Magistrate John
r. Howe and he was discharged on
payment of the costs.
A hearing was also conducted in the
case of Mr.. McAndrew. Superintendent
Brown offered evidence to show that
in constructing dwelling Mr.. Me
Andrew covered warm air pipes with
wooden laths in direct violation of the
law and that he had refused upon noti-
tication to live up To the requirements
of the building ordinance. He was dis
charged by the magistrate upon pay
ment of the costs.
The case of Ezra Finn's Sons was
continued until next Monday at their
own request. This firm is charged

occupied by the district offices of the
New York Life Insurance company.
The district superintendents of the
coal department, who have been quar-
tered in the engineering department.
will occupy the room vacated by the
district passenger and freight agents.
c. w. Ten Brock, who has been ap-
pointed industrial agent has moved his
headquarters to New York. and Mr.

cessor as the district freight agent in
this city.
During the two years that he has
been located in Scranton. Mr.. Ten
Broeck has made hundreds of friends
and has the happy faculty of keeping
them. 1t is reasonable to assume that
in his new duties he will not only in
crease his following, but also add ma
terial strength to the department over
which he will be in charge.
