Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July Pit is pretty gen.
orally conceded that, so far. the COM
mission house buying of stocks has been
small The heads of commission houses
report that their clients are extremely
conservative and they say that they have
not been disposed to recommend the pur-
chase of stocks, except for long pull.
While 1t is maintained in speculative cir
cles that the market is going higher,
most operators are afraid to enter 1t at
the present level. Those who seem to be
the most familiar with what is going on
predict that by reason Of manipulative
tactics. short covering and some invest
ment buying. prices will advance still
further. but those who make this pre-
dlction seem to expect that within a
short time the market will again become
extremely dull. because they do not think
Important speculative interests Will buy
on a large scale.
More attention is being paid to the none
tary situation than to crops. Important
institutions which have had occasion to
negotiate loans or renewal OF existing
loans report almost without exception that
money is really tight for all classes of
borrowers. They say that it has been pos
sible to renew loans that have matured re-
Gently only at rates which must be regarded
as decidedly stiff. For new enterprises it
has been even more difficult and actually
impossible in not q few cases to get de-
sired accommodations.
~
1t is the opinion Of some important in
terests In investment cirles that fractional
~ higher rates would make it possible to
sell the $20.0OO0OO New York city bonds,
for which there were only a few bidders
last week. The head Of an important in
vestment house says, however, that so
long as it is possible for institutions and
individuals to loan both large and small
amounts of money for q year at per
cent. no one should expect an active invest
ment demand for bonds yielding 4 per cent
or a little better.
He says that the large life insurance COM
panies have been making extensive loans
on terms as favorable as those just men
toned and that SO far as his information
goes the savings banks have not large
amount OF money available for investment.
and that, furthermore, they do not seem
disposed to place what they have in securi-
Ties. because they are able to get a consid-
erably better return from mortgages on real
estate. Until there Is q decisive turn in
the money market no special improvement
iooked for.

sioners today and urged favorable action
on petition which they filed asking for bet
ter water service east Of the Anacostia
river and south Of Ridge road.
The petition, after stating that the section
represented comprises one-sixth of the pres
ent area Of the District, and has many ele-
vations, some Of which are upward Of
three hundred feet above tidewater re-
lated: Heretofore there have been serious
obstacles to the development of the section,
namely. the lack Of suitable rapid transit
anu the character Of the water supply.
On completion Of the navy yard bridge
and with improved car service the former
Will In large measure be remedied, after
which proper water service will be a vital
question. The water obtained from the
wells In the lowlands has unquestionably
been contaminated with the impurities OF

we believe. been baleful source Of disease.
In this connection 1t Is noted that the
health department has recently condemned
many wells and ordered them filled up as

Inadequate Water Supply.

Client, there being scarcely enough to meet
the ordinary needs of the present popula-
ton. The springs are few in number and
far between and it has not always been
round possible to get water. even by dig
g1ng to great depth. In case Of fire the
natural water supply affords no protection
as evidenced by the complete destruction Of
buildings recently burned. There Is abso-
iutely no water in the section available for
that purpose except in the limited territory
along the Eastern branch between Pennsyl-
vania avenue extended and Monroe street.
Anacostia.
I'm the section represented by this COM
mittee there Is much valuable property. in
Guiding sixteen churches. ten school build
ings, five public halls, two fire engine
houses, an orphan asylum, an old peoples
home. the District aims and warehouses;
and the Government Hospital for the In
idly-increasing number of private resi-
dences and other buildings, all liable to
destruction by fire at any time. The es-
timated value of the property enumerated
that Is. what would be necessary to replace
1t were 1t destroyed by fire. Is in round
numbers $4,000 600. Adding to this % per
cent, or 81 ,S12, 800. as the value of furniture,
household effects. tools. trade stocks etc..
we have total of Sc. 062 600. OF this amount
not more than $2.oOOOOO has the benefit
of public water service in case Of fire. An
extension OF the public water service would
supply this deficiency. and make it possible
in the early future to dispense with the
local water works at the asylum without
greatly increasing the present cost Of pump
ing"
1t is also added that there is a grave
doubt whether the water from wells either
at the asylum or in private homes Is pure
and healthful.
THE question Of sewerage in the i'm
mediate yicinity-o Of the asylum-and in
fact all along the height" the petition re-
)ates, lis becoming one Of pressing inn
portance. for which provision should be
made as early as possible. as a sanitary
measure" In conclusion the report states:
Remedy Is Suggested.
THE only remedy for the conditions
herein set forth is the extension Of the
public water service to the heights-by
the installation of a suitable pumping
station at some point along the water
main east of the Anacostia river and the
erection of a standpipe on one of the high
elevations at or near Good Hope from
which water can be distributed as needed
In the whole southeastern section. 1t Is I'M
derstood that no funds are now available
for the proposed water extension service,
and the Commissioners were urgently re-
quested to include in their estimates for
1908 suitable item for that purpose.
At the close Of the petition 1t was
noted that during the past ten years ~
urban improvements have been expended
west of the Capitol.
At the close Of the hearing Engineer
Commissioner Morrow said that IL would
be impossible to give the high points a
good water supply without the expendi-
ture Of a large sum Of money He stated
that special pumping station would have
to be built. and 1t will doubtless be some
time before the funds for building it can
be procured.
