well to start at about the close of the
market in this letter for II was SUP.
ported during most of the day by
hopes that the New Nor, bond issue
would be satisfaci oryily completed. II
seems now that a million and a half
out of a 20 100000 dollar offer were
bid for and that the banks and bond
houses with but few exceptions Were
not bidders. Some people have said
that the disagreement came late in the
day, but about thai we know nothing.
The fact il that the buyng people saw
no. money in it, and refused to bid.
The leading stocks sold off ON this
announcement and at the close the
market is fractionally dcwn from last
might. Conditions abroad have i'm
proved quite a good deal and the Am
erican situation looked upon with
more favor Conditions of copper

account for the vigorous selling to-

worthy Of serious consideration.

The Engineering Department IS
willing to admit that the condition Of
some Of the roadway pavements Of
Washington is a great deal worse than
it should be, but It is believed the people
know that the reason for this is that
