Going short in the local stock mar

dealing IS on a wider speculative basis
the opportunity IS greater and iJ is not
unusual 20 find a short interest in ex-
istenCe. But In the line Of those seCur-
tiles where the transactions are limit
ed and where almost the entire capital
is held for investment purposes il seems
almost improbable that such action
should be undertaken.
There is however. a We'll defined
rumor that the recent rise I'm a certain

some individual or several of them have

REPRESENTS BALTlMORE'S
BUSINESS INTERESTS

BALTIMORE. Sept. 15.-R. Brent Key
ser. who has been elected "a director of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. to sue
ceed Jacob II. SChin, is identified in
Baltimore by his connection with the
Baltimore Copper Smelling and Rolling
Company, an Important manufacturing
concern. Besides this. Mr. keyser IS a
man of much wealth and IS widely
known in business circles of his city.
The election of Mr.. .Keyser gives Bal
timOTe a representative on the Balti-
more ard Ohio board, something which
the business organizations and the press
of the city have been demanding for
some time. Heretofore the city has had
no representative on the board, except
that the higher operating officials of
the road. who are also directors live
here. The result was that Baltimore
business men have felt themselves with
out a champion among the directors
whenever any question respecting SerV-
ice TO shippers or the like arose. The
directors Of the Baltimore and Ohio
have shown themselves responsive 10
this feeling by selecting the new director
from among the important business
men of the city.

VOLUME OF BUSINESS
BEYOND ALL PRECEDENT

Volume OF trade. says Dun's Review,
continues beyond precedent for the per-
iod. the end Of the vacation season re-
storing normal forces in most oc'cupa-
tions. and there are no important labor
struggles to handicap progress. Autumn
distribution is very heavy, traders as
a rule preparing for needs well into the
future. while mercantile collections are
quite as prompt as could be expected in
view Of the tight money market.
Railway earnings for the first week
of September exceeded the figures Of
1905 by 70 per cent. Pressure for steel
was so severe at the west that the Uu-
usual situation occurred of purchases
of blIets IN eastern Pennsylvania. and
this is believed to be the beginning OF
a heavy movement
Liabilities Of commercial failures thus
far reported for September amounted to
81 ,3I5.s76. of which $624,S97 were in man
ufacturing, $62S,5l9 in trading. and 81
400 IN other commercial lines. Failures
