VALUES RISE NEAR GREAT
FALLS RAILROAD TERMINAL
One Hundred Dollars an Acre Now Ask
ed for Adjacent Property.

Property in the vicinity of the Great
Falls dam, on the upper Potomac, has
taken q material rise in value since the
purchase OF thirty acres by the Great
Falls and Old Dominion Electric Rail-
way Company, announced yesterday in
The Times. The price Paid by the com
papy was s45 per acre, but adjacent
property owners now want 500 an acre
for their holdings
The thirty acres was purchased from
Z. E. Oliver. and is an ideal site for
the terminal buildings. The road will
pass through the Dickey property, con-
trollet by the Butler heirs and the

Important banking interests in Wall
Street, though prepared to step into the
market at any time to prevent anything
like panicky conditions, are nevertheless
not in favor of any active speculation ut
this time-win, In fact. oppose ii as
they have done in recent weeks. This is
not because they do not believe in the
market, but solely for the reason that
they are DESTROYS that the work of ''di-
costing the many new securities In the

because ii is desired that in the interval
between now and the crop moving period
the banking position should be strength
ened- Beyond this it is believed to be the
part of conservatism to await final de-
velopments in the labor situation, and,
as well, to get a more definite line on
the crops. 1t is no secret that in some
financial quarters the backwardness of
the corn crop is not regarded as pleas
ing. This is a summary OF the opinions
of half score OF bankers
The tone Of Wall Street commission
house literature was much more cheer
full last night The opinion most pos
itivcly expressed therein was that this
latest wave of liquidation had spent it's
force. AS to the immediate future of
the stock market, most of the profess
sional writer's were extremely conserva-
tive in their views. Brokers who think
q turn has come are disposed to bull
certain stocks rather than to encourage
miscellaneous speculations for a rise.
4 known banking authority, COM
menting upon the development OF foreign
interest in American securities, calls at
tention to the fact that good investment

more on the inyestment-than in any
other market in the world. This he
thinks, is bound TO attract foreign capt.

few comparisons of the investment re-
turn on good railroad issues mere and on

this bankers assertion that this is now
the cheapest stock market In the world.
Russell Sage is not concerned because
of the stock markets weakness this
week. putting it down more to bear ma
nipulation than to anything else. Said
Mr.. Sage:
Il do not share In the view that
this is a 'liquidating market as some
OF the pessimists declare. Undoubted-
ly there has been not a little forced

gins. and because of the cotton specu-
lation, but 1 believe the professionals
have been largely sponsible for the

The official announcement of the set
Element of the Union Pacific strike
among its machinists is expected to be
made today. This can in no way be re
sarded as a bull argument, as the Union
Pacific Company, after having taken a
positive stand and continued the most
expensive strike in the history of any
railroad in recent years, has been
compelled to abandon its chief conten.
ton that piece work among the machin-
lists and boilermakers would have to be
enforced instead of regular days pay
The company was forced to abandon its
position in this matter in order to pre-
vent what promised to be complete
tie-up of all the machine shops on the
Southern Pacific system. which threat
was used by the Southern Pacific ma
chinists to help the Union Pacific men to
win their point.
