the CLOSING WAS IRREGULAR,
Absence Of Speculation Yesterday on
Some SurMisee Of Last Week.
No Official Confederation.

New York, Aug. 12.-There were
not lacking yesterday echoes CT last
week'sl excited sQrmises regarding
fhe Supposed readjustment Of rela-
tiGns ih the southern and southwest
crn railroad world, but the entire ab-
sence OF any official corroboTaticn Oh
countenance for the rumors caused q
pause in the speculation based upon
them. The necessity fer some ar
rangement to harmCnize perfectly the
new order of things by reason Of the
Change in control Of the Louisville
and Nashville and the passing Of the
chicago and Eastern Illinois TO the
ST. Louis and San Francisco is gener-
{ ;ly recognized. Attention was di-
verted anew to the money market yes
terday, in view OF the heavy inroad
rpen the surplus reserves Of the
bank revealed by the Saturday bank
statement. Many glowing reports
were received in Wall street OF the
promise of the harvest, the large traf-
fic moving on the railroads and the
indications for an unusually large
fall trade in all branches. The pres
e2t high level of prices for grain-car-
rying railroads is the result of former
tuying to discount these very condi'
tons. 1t is certain also that the more
active business is the more demand
there will be for cash in the country's g
circulation, thus drawing it from bank
reserves, where it might serve as
basis for credits. Western banks, in
common with those of the east, are
loaned close to their available re-
sources, and the demand for cash
upon eastern banks is expected to be
rather more than less than usual at
tie crop moving season, now close at
tand.
During the final hour the pressure
to sell became urgent and prices de-
clinsd sharply throughout the list.

Norfolk and Western and Western

The Superior shipyards WILL during
the coming season, build two of the
largest boats which have ever been
constructed on the great lakes. They
will be AS feet i'll length and 81 feot
wide Although the Smeaton and
Fan Hise were slightly longer tine new
boats will be wider than any boat now
on the lakes by four feet.
Two other 225 foot boats will also
be built at the shipyards this winter
for the Welland canal and Quebec
route: 1t is the intention of the ship
building company in commission by
spring and their construction will
probably tax the plants resources to

new FEDERAL BUILDING.

The following information relative
to the new federal building was con
tanned in a letter received by T. b,
Mills, of the customs Office, from Sec
rotary Taylor, of the treasury depart.
ment:
The matter has been turned over to
the department of justice to get title,
and as soon as that is secured and GER
titled to us we shall be ready t. pre-
pare plans. OF course we cannot do
anything towards preparing the plans
and specifications until the title is GER.
tilted There is often Il good deal of
delay in the department of justice, but
am in hopes that we shall get title
and prepare plans during the winter
and begin operations in the spring"
As the title to the proposed site at
Tower avenue and FouIU,unth street is
now being certified, it is probable that
the construction of this buiuing will be
begun by spring.
