NEW YORK September 26.-The tone OF

clines predominated over gains but were of
such moderate proportions as not to awaken
acute anxiety. A fall of b-S in ST. Paul

of nearly a point In United States Steel
preferred also had a reassuring effect.
Prices turned upward after the first few
minutes of trading. but the advance did not
proceed far. heavy selling of United States
Steel preferred causing heaviness again.
United States Steel preferred reacted lis
to 81. and the bonds fell off to 7OSs. The

AGAINST REDUCTION.
Citizens Oppose Narrow Roadway In
Howard Avenue.

The Commissioners have received from
Mr.. Frank L. Campbell, a petition signed by
the owners of property on Howard avenue,
Mount Pleasant, protesting against the re-
duction of the width of the roadway Of that
street to twenty-four feet. 1t is claimed
twenty-four foot roadway would give the
street the appearance of an. alley, and
would in the opinion of the petitioners
greatly mar it's beauty and interfere with
its usefulness to the public. The petition
asks that such a roadway be made thirty
feet in width. The street is five feet wider
than Park street. which has a roadway of
twenty-eight feet kenesaw avenue Column
bia road and other streets in the vicinity
have been given width of thirty feet be-
tween curbs and it Is earnestly asked that
Howard avenue be not made narrower.
The petition also asks the Commissioners
to include an item in their estimates for
the resurfac.ng of the avenue. and the
placing Of curb there. THE street" say
the writer's. has been badly cut up in the
last year or two by much heavy hauling
over it for building purposes. 1t has never
as yet had curbs and We think our request
that they be provided without cost to the
property owners is but reasonable

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
PORTSMOUTH, Va, September 28.-1t
was really a mean trick that the Secretary
Of the Treasury and the Maryland and Dis
trict of Columbia bankers played on the
officers of the navy yard here Friday after
noon.
The coming of the party had been off,
cially heralded in due and ancient form,
and it had been determined by the authori-
ties to give the head of the Treasury De-
partment rousing reception.
Admiral Harrington is away on his fur
Tough. SO Capt. j. E. Craig. acting COM
mandant. issued instructions to all the off,
GERS to don their full dress uniforms at 1
O'Clock and be prepared to pay their re-
spects to the cabinet officer.
The white PROV of the Washington
steamer. aboard which the bankers had
been holding their sessions. appeared around
the point. a mile from the navy yard. at
l 80 o'clock.
At that hour the entire marine guard.
under command of Capt. Boots, was lined
up In the park. The band was also there.
and at the entrance to the administration
building stood Capt. Craig and the entire
staff of officers attached to the yard. all
perspiring in their hot full-dress uniforms,
with plumed chapeaus
The flag Of the Secretary of the Treasury
was flung to the breeze from the Washing
ton steamer as she approached the yard.
and Immediately salute Of seventeen guns
Numbered from the Franklin. The steamer
skirted the yard. and Capt. Nichols Of the
Topeka had his band out to welcome the
distinguished visitor and his party.
At the extreme southern end Of the yard
the Washington boat threw a line ashore,
and slowly swung about until her PROV
pointed toward Old Point. where she was
due in an hour. Then at full speed. she
raced past the yard. with a parting toot of
her whistle. while the marine guard and
the band and the officers still waited to well
come Secretary Shaw.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Two hundred thousand dollars Of govern
ment money has been added to the deposits
In local banks during the past week or two.
Prior to that time the aggregate Of public
funds deposited in the District was So. 451.-
CO., This amount was in three banks. and
now two have been added to the number. 50
that OF the twelve national banks In the
District five hold public money on deposit.
Confidence. which in financial parlance
means free use Of money, is gradually
increasing. and locally the effect is seen
in greater freedom in loans. While there is
no cause locally to make money tight. yet
the influence of disturbed conditions else
where is felt here indirectly. The money
rate is now per cent for call loans and no
doubt as an Improvement in financial circles
elsewhere becomes manifest money will be-
come more abundant and at lower rates.
1t is believed that there Is no great de-
mand for money here just now. although
some are of the opinion that the state of
the real estate market would justify con-
siderable addition to the house accommo-
dations of the city, If 1t was possible to pro-
cure money on favorable terms. Owing to
the rapidity with which houses and fats
have been taken this fall, 1t Is thought that
there is an opportunity to build with profit.
No doubt a greater effort would be made to
supply new houses if it was possible to Sc
cure the financial accommodations which
are usually condition to entering upon
large building operations.
There Is a belief that as the general
financial situation improves the change will
be reflected locally, especially in building
enterprises of all kinds.
