NEW YORK STOCKS

Weak Most of the Day With
Some ReCoVerieS on Short

NEW YORK. Nov. 2-Noon-TOday' 5
short session was unsatisfactory in many
ways. The bears were after stocks from
the tap of the bell, or just after the
opening, for some stocks actually opened
a little stronger. London had shown a
better tone and some gains in Ameri-
cans, and this gave hope.
Immediately after the gains the turn
cana, and W to near the closing hour
the trend was to lower prices. There
was the usual investment buying. and in
the late declines the shorts in some of
the leading securities, following their
Saturday custom. evened up before GO
ing home.
This was RESPONSIBLE for some in-
provements, chiefly in the highgrade
stocks, such as New York Central. ST.
Paul, and Pennsylvania.
Buyers Of the latter shares today par
tiCipate in the 31a per cent dividends.
Preferred Steel shares showed weak
ness, while the common was easier and
without material change. Copper was
weak throughout, and closed with a loss
Of about a point Other industrials
failed to hold their own, and the shorts
in this class Of stocks were usually
content to leave their contracts uncov-
cred.
Money is still the ruling influence.
There can be no turn for the better In
the situatiOn-that is, no permanent i'm
provement-until such time as money
works easier. With currency quoted at
/ to 2 per cent premium, and certificates
and fiat money circulating instead Of
certified checks and cash, it would be
peculiar if the market should show its
old time recuperative power.
Investors Buying.
Investors are taking stocks, but only
IN a small way, for they have trouble
in financing. The chief difficulty IS to
get the money TO put up on margins.
or TO pay for stock outright, this lat
ter way being the only safe kind OF
buying, as IL takes stocks out Of the
market permanently, and this is much

'ANACOSTtA FLATS
REPRESENTATIVE McaAv1N's
BILL FOR THEIR IMPROVEMENT
From the District Line to the Mouth
Of the River-Other Local
Measures.

Representative NcGavin of Chicago, a
member of the House District committee,
today introduced a bill authorizing the
secretary OF War to enter into a contract
FOR the improvement of the Anacostia
river from the District of Columbia line
to the mouth of the river, at total cost
of not more than $685.. 100
Representative McGavin has spent
good deal of time Of late in looking over
the fiat and determining upon the scope
of the proposed improvement. Sidney
Bieber. local treasurer Of the republican
congressional committee and chairman of
the board Of supervisors of the election
of the delegates to the republican national
convention of the District, has taken a
deep interest in the matter, and has taken
several parties of congressman down on
the flat to look over the ground. The Nc
Gavin bill provides for carrying out the
project for the improvement of the Ana
costa river and the reclamation of It's
flats from the District line to the river
ago as 1893 by board of engineers which
investigated the matter. The sum men,
toned provides for the use of high-grade
filling throughout. which is recommended
as being more desirable. The flats are
to be raised to height of about seven
feet above low tide and channels eXca-
waited to afford depth of twenty feet at
low tide from the mouth of the river to
through Benning bridge. The report esti-
mates that about $4,000 could be used
annually.
The report makes a comparison between
the Potomac fiat Improvement and the Ana
costa fiat improvement. The Potomac
improvement covers about three and one
half miles of river, the report says, and
the area of flats reclaimed Is 739 acres, of
which 621 acres are land. The proposed
Anacosta river improvement covers about
nj a
nation would be about 1889 acres. A
number Of representatives of the House
have evlnced interest in the matter of the
improvement, and 1t Is expected that the
McGavin bill will be given early cons. d.
grafton by the House District committee.
Representative Pearre of Maryland to-
day introduced q bill to increase the sal
aries of the letter carriers of the rural free
delivery and to allow them annual leave
with pay. Mr.. Pearre introduced num-
Der of other bills, including one measure
to aid the states in the enforcement of
their liquor license laws.
