HEARD ON CHANGE

There will probably be moro stock
brokers out Of town this week than during
any week thus far this summer. and al a
result it is expected q let-up in the guam
tity OF business transacted will be noted.
The past week in the local market for &C.
curities has been devoid Of interest with two
exceptions. Washington and Georgetown
gas stocks have been sufficiently active to
engage the attention Of brokers very gen.
orally and Of persons with money to in
vest Washington gas last Monday was
quoted at 74h, and during the week It
advanced steadily until 1t was quoted at
TN Friday the quantity Of shares sold
being considerably above the average for q
week in this season Of the year.
AS one, effect OF the testimony brought
out in the hearing before Auditor Payne
in regard to the petition Of the Georgetown
Gaslight Company for authority to increase
its capital stock to 100000, the price OF
that stock has advanced rapidly within the
past week. The quotations bid Monday
last was 70, and the next day it advanced
to "a, while after the regular call there
was a sale of 100 shares at 100. At the
close of the week 1915 was bid, and none
was offered under 100

THE FOREIGN BoURsEs.
BERLIN. August 8.-Trading on the
bourse today was quiet and prices were
somewhat flrmer

LONDON. August s.-The stock exchange
was closed today on account Of the holiday.
PARIS, August 3-There was a slightly
better tone to the trading on the bourse
today. Rio Tintos were stronger in spite
of the fall In the price Of copper In New
York. Russian imperial fours closed at
72.6O and Russian bonds of 1904 at t03.00
LONDON, August 8-Trading on the
stock exchange in the early part of the
week was characterized by inactivity and
depression and a renewed fall In the price
of consols which at one time were below
S21s. This decline was due largely to the
Egyptian government placing large block
of stock on the market which was not want
ed at the then current price. This caused
depression and tight monetary situation,
which the entrance Of foreign competition
in the bullion market did not tend to allie
viate. Toward the end Of the week. how
ever, moderate investment purchases, cou-
pied with a more cheerful tone On the Paris
bourse and less anxiety regarding the sit
uation in Morocco, had q bractng erect and
caused prices to harden. The market gen
orally closed at the best prices of the week.
Business however, has been on small
scale, owing to the settlement and the ap-
preaching holidays.
American shares manifested fairly
steady tendency throughout the week,
though they suffered under the general
gloom. TRANSACTIONS were restricted by
dear money and the unfavorable bank state
ment from New York. AT the END OF the
week small local speculative support, to-
gether with support from Wall street. Inn
parted firmness and prices closed at the
best. Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
were features Of the week.
Money continues dear and the prospects
for easy money in the near future are I'M
certain. Activity In the trade and manu-

tinued outflow from London for a consider.

Doubtful Factors in Outlook.

The market was held under restraint by
the doubtful factors in the outlook. Much
more Importance was attached to the OFF,
cial admission that the new orders of the
United States Steel Corporation for July
had fallen Is to 80 per cent below those for
July of last year than to the strong ex-
hibit for the preceding quarter.
The financial community Is inclined to &C
cept this contraction in the steel trade as
a true index OF the tendency OF general
conditions The instability Of the price Of
copper is regarded as confirmatory. The
reaction is regarded as necessary to correct
a condition recognized as inflated and to
provide means for a new accumulation OF
capital Hopes are professed that the reac-
ton will stop short OF depression.
Pending the demonstration Of the limits
of the reaction. however speculation Is In.
ol,ned to halt. The difficulties foreseen OF
securing money resources for any specu-
lative extension. owing TO the expanded
credit situation, reinforce the disposition
