SLIGHT RECESSIONS
MARK TRANSACTIONS
Heavy Pressure Against Reading,
But Stock Held Up Fairly Well.

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-The stock mar
ket opened tamely. the lack of London
quotations being considerably felt Dit
ferences in prices were generally small.
but the tone was. on the whole. re-
dictionary. The chief pressure was
against Reading. which was made 10
open down rs in ALL and which rallied
only slightly. Steel stocks were a shade
easier.
So far as regards business in the stock
market today the exchange might al
most as we'll be closed. Only a handful
of transactions have taken place and
the fluctuations have generally been on
a trivial scale
The movements have been wholly pro-
fessional and virtually without signifi-
canoe The attraction of the yaet race
drew large numbers of the brokers down
the bay.
st. Paul, on desultory sales, drifted
downward a point and then rallied q
per cent. Reading opened of Is. but
soon recovered more than half of the
loss. Missouri Pacific advanced frac-
tionally, while Union Pacific and South
eTn Pacific lost ss and q. respectively.
In the industrials. the reports that the
dividend on United States Realty pre-
ferred would probably be passed
caused sales in small lots at a maximum
decline of 2A per cent. Government
bonds unchanged. Railroad bonds quiet.

The long strike in the building trade
has. Of course. affected the earnings OF
the United States Realty Company. but
in well-informed quarters no doubt is
expressed over the ability of the concern
to maintain its present dividend rate Of
. per cent on the preferred stock. The
decline. nevertheless, in the price of
this issue naturally creates feeling Of
uneasiness among persons who are not
in touch with the company's affairs, and
they are led to believe by the present
low price of the stock that the next
dividend will either be reduced or
passed.

The present condition of the New

The declaration of a per cent divi-
dend on 500 preferred and 2 per cent

1t savors too much of connection with

An investigation OF the report that
brokers have little money borrowed on
time and are concerned over the alleged
difflculty experienced in obtaining ac-
commodations has failed TO develop con-
firmation of the statement. Six months
money, although somewhat more availa-
BILE than 1t was last week, is none too
plentiful, but, so far as can be learned,
commission houses are well provided
with funds carrying over the end of the
year. Some of the larger houses have
practically all of their money on time
and are lending surplus funds in the call
money market at a loss. Wire houses
have to carry stocks for out-of-town cor
respondents at cost, or without profit on
the interest, because there ia competition
for the business. and for that reason wire
houses need TO be sharp borrowers Some
Of them, no doubt, have been reluctant
to stock up with 6 per cent time money.
