SEMI-STAGNATlON
DEALINGS IN STOCK WERE
 SMALLER IN VOLUME.
Many Rumors are Afioat of Big Corporations Who are Anxious to Float Large Loans
 Just Now.

NEW YORK. Aug. 25.-The semi-stagnation' of the stock market was unrelieved to-day and yesterday. @ There was % some % show of activity to- wards the last and the market closed strong. The majority of the stocks which made up l to points higher than last night. The strong features were Missouri Pacific, St: Tennessee Coal. There was no news to ex- plain the advanced tendency of the market and the true cause seemed to be that the room short contracts Attention was almost who'll day. There was a large list of absent mem bers, and those on the floor spent their time s Monins reports rgs O' from London % @ showed some some disposition to buy American stocks there. and the opening advance here was in sympathy Erie was conspicuously in demand for Lon don account. The development of this for eign demand Is of special interest in its bear ing on the exchanges situation. There was large re-seling of foreign holdings of our se- curities taken at the bottom of the decline when the rally here showed signs of cumnat- ing and the renewal of the demand on the reaction has not yet assumed important pro- portions The easier tone in to-days ex- pearance in that market of bankers finance bills which are connected with borrowing abroad The foreign banking houses in New York also are an important source of supply for funds in the time money market. Rates for time money and commercial paper con tinue very firm. The present abundance of call loan funds Is largely caused by the plac ing on deposit of trust company funds with the banks to the interest on deposits accounts which Is higher than the present call loan rate. Any rise in the call loan rate would be promptly followed by the with drawal of these trust company deposits from the banks for placing in the call loan mar ket which would necesstate a shifting of the loan accounts of the banks also and some probable disturbance in the money market. This contingency is a oppressive influence on stock market speculation just now. There Is anxiety also over the closing up of the cot ton corner, which 1t Is believed is yet to be achieved. and will necessarily be an opera tion of some peril. Many rumors are still prevalent of efforts making by large indus- trial corporations to secure temporary loans. The recent heaviness of New York Central which a depressing factor for time this morning also seems to be adjusted by the petition to the stock exchange to list S6. 900; 900 additional general mortgage bonds.

 NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-There was another wild market in cotton this morning. At A time 1t was difficult to execute orders with out advancing prices rapidly as the buying encountered many stop orders, and those pur- chases represented many thousand bales that any additional buying had to take place ht higher quotations. The market kept ahead of the ticker most of the day and whenever decline of several points before the average operator in the pit knew very much about It. On the whole however. it was a fairly good market to trade in, and no complaint could be registered that score There was chance to sell almost unlimited amount of cotton, and prices have advanced so much in the last few days. that there was more cot ton fo- sale than yesterday. The weekly re- ports showed very satisfactory condition though how this could he possible in a few days, ts hard to understand That is hardly to be reasoned with at this time. as the market is not a rational market, but one en- gineered by manlpulaors and thrown into a panic owing to the absence of any available cotton. With one man owning all spot cotton from old crop. and with nature failing to provide new cotton, at the usual date, the market is caught between two fires. It is a right he may be in the long run. On the whole we would be more inclined to attempt the short side a good bulge tomorrow This is not the place to buy cotton. While the craze on prices may go another half cent higher The market is exact facsimile of 900. October then sold up to about o 75 and when prices started to break in the spring they never stopped until they got down to , cents pound

Pool Room People.

Major Sylvester is soon to have the Wild
wood pool room people to deal with, as they
have decided 10 open q place within the
District OF Columbia within few days. Il
Is said that the promoters of the game are
to present condition OF affairs similar to
that at the Benning race track when the
races are being held, with the exception OF
the absence Of the horses. The absence Of
the animals, 1t Is commended by them, will
make no difference 80 far as the law Is con
cerned. Il Is rumored that the place 10 to
be opened on the line Of the Cabin John
electric cars and Is to be located on the Dis
trict line. Part of the building IL to be in
Montgomery county and part In the Dis
trict, and the betting is to be done in the
District.
The men who were interested In the game
at Wildwood made up their minds that they
were not going to quit business In this sec.
ton unless they are compelled to do 90 by
the courts and officers. They have been I'D.
vised that the manner Of betting as conduct.
ed at Benning does not constitute viola
ton Of the gambling law. 1t is their belief
that the Virginia gamblers had something
to do with breaking them up, and they do
not intend to take the medicine without q
murmur. Under the proposed arrangement
the structure is to be on the District line, In
order that in presenting, within the District,
the conditions as they exist at the Benning
track they will have the additional advantage
OF blackboard containing the entries and
odds across the line In Maryland In this way
they will do nothing in Maryland, but will
confne the betting TO the District. In all
probability the local police will take hand
in the matter as soon as bets are made, and
the courts will be called upon to settle the
question. 1t was reporte this morning that
work on the structure had commenced, al.
though record Of q permit In the building
inspectors Office could not be found to day -
