LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP.

One of the principal features Of the
trading on the washington Stock EX-
change yesterday was the slump in
Capital Traction 5s The bid price fell
away under large blocks Of the bonds
offered from an opening at l16 to 107 Is.
This was three points below some Of
the sales of the previous day, and vim
dicates the opinion expressed in this
column a few days ago that when the
price reached 10 there would be plenty
of the bonds for sale. The indication
is that the boom in those securities is
temporarily at an end.

mand being good and offerings small at

day assumed the normal volume, the

IRON AND STEEL STOCKS
DEPRECIATE ENORMOUSLY

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-If any group
of stocks could retain its strength in
the face of falling market, that group.
based on general and recent conditions.
would most likely be made up Of the
stocks Of iron and steel companies. Con-
ditions IN the trade have been. and still
are, phenomenally good. as was demon
strated by the record earnings OF the
United States Steel Corporation for the
quarter just ended, and the drastic legls-
latiOn which has so adversely affected
railroads and industrial concerns in the
last few months seems to have neg
lected the companies under review, leav-
ing them unframed.
Yet their stocks have deprecated in
value in company with other securities,
and to just as great extent. Based upon
the closing prices Of yesterday, and the
highest figures at which they sold this
year. the market valuation Of the stocks
Of FIVE large iron and steel producers
show a shrinkage of s1S5, l70.347-
The total outstanding stock OF the
United States steel Corporation has de-
preciated $l50079,27 that of the Repub-
lie Iron and Steel Company. S11.062 $50,
and SIoss-Shefheld, S4S14.O00.
The preferred stock OF the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company has not been
taken into account. for there is only
s., COO, 600 of It outstanding. and there is
barely any market for the stock.

Jobbing markets. says Dun's Review.
are well attended by interior merchants
and country merchants, who operate
NTH great freedom considering the
financial strinsency which has compelled
the postponement OF much contemplated
structural work. Yet many Western
and Southern cities report building oper-
ati0ns far in excess Of last years, and.
as the harvest, progress. there is more
disposition TO Increase preparations Tor
future needs. Retail stocks have been
depleted by the customary bargain
sales, and preparations for fan and win
ter trade indicate confidence in con-
tinued activity At most domestic
points there Is no complaint regarding
collections, bat reports from Canada in
dicate many requests for renewals.
Leading Industrial plants are well oc-
eapied, many mills having output sold
Ear into 1865, and there is little serious
interruption BY strikes. A sharp rise in
grain was the feature Of the commodity
markets, but best prices were not main
tanned Railway earnings IN the first
half OF August were rs per cent larger
than last years figures.
Conditions continue satisfactory In the
cotton goods industry, some mills hav-
ing contracts covering production
through most OF next year, and manu-
iacturers ma no difficulty in maintain
ing prices AZ the top.

Bradstreet's says: Buyers excursions
have been a feature or the week. ana
the leading primary markets OF the
country have been filled with country
merchants. As a result. house trade
has been stimulated. and orders for dry
goods. clothing. and shoes show con-
siderable improvement. Fail business,
except at few centers, is said to equal
a year ago ~ this date, the volume
being made up Of numerous orders
rather than by any special interest or
interests placing heavy business. in
fact. many merchants display a dlsposl-
ton 70 90 slow, fearing that orders may
fail OF. not because OF a decline ia con-
sumption. but more particularly because
OF the tightness OF money.

shows a surplus. after the payment OF
fixed charges. OF s2.23832l. a decrease

yesterday and payable on October II
Rext
After the meeting Of the board OF
directors, on Friday, a statement was
issued 70 the effect that IN taking the
action they did in cutting the annual
rate. the directors were influenced by
the consideration that the income ac-
count of the company for the year re-
fected abnormal and extraordinary con-
ditions, which, however, might not be
expected to recur. AT the same time,
the directors considered that. under ex-
listing eondttions-the high prices Of sup
plies, material. and labor. incre ssing
taxes. and the legislative reduction OF
revenue-it was the part of prudence 10
limit the distribution Of profits, at least
until the permanent effect Of such con-
ditioas fairly may be measured.
Pre- viouslv to this years declarations,
the Southern railway had paid dividends
on its preferred stock as follows: In
1887 and 1Sss, l per cept; in 1899, ? per
cert: in 1900, per cent. in 1901, 4 per
cent. in 1so2-1so6. pc, cent annually.
