The bureau of the census nj Wash
ington reports that the real taxable
property OF the United States amounts
to about fifty-five billion dollars, the
exempt TO six billions. Railroads and
their equipment, including street rail-
ways, add to our wealth nearly four
teen billions more, and nearly another
billion and half comes from telegraph
and telephone systems, adding canals
and shipping. There is half billion
under the head of electric lights and
power stations. Live stock counts up
four billions more. and all sorts OF
agricultural products, with farm ma
ehinery give us two and half biz,
lions. Manufactured products, added
to manufacturing machinery, amounts
TO over ten billions. Cold and silver
coin and bullion add another two bill
lions; clothing, two and half billions
and furniture, with carriages. and that
sort or property. sum up nearly six bill
lions more, These, with other smaller
items, give us a total of one hundred
and seven billions, to be compared with
seven billions In 1850. and about TWEEN
ey-tiye billions at the close Of the Civil
War. 1t would not be altogether

ton following a fresh advance at the
start when September moved to sI07
and December to s1.o0ls. Shorts were
again active bidders for September
early in the day and with slim offer
ings the price was readily forced up

more active selling toward midday
and prices began to decline. Scptem-
Der broke from s107 to Sl.a4a and De-
ember from s1o0A to ss,aa99sc Final
quotations on the former were at 81. 05

MARKET MOVEMENTS
OF THE DAY

New York. Sept. 22.-various osten-
sihIe reasons We're advanced for the
weakness of the stock market today.
The real reason was the suspicion
that the leaders in the prologed ad-
vance in prices were selling or had
sold their holdings The support ac-
corded the market was not Of that
determined character that had beer
manifest for a long time. This alton
engendered the fear that the almost
limitless resources at the command -
the men credited with the speculative
leadership were no longer heing EN-
ployed in further accumulation and i'm
protecting values of holdings already
acquired. The glaring instance of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey div
idend drew particular ate ntion to this
subject owing to the heavy specula-
ton which was converged in Reading
in the expectation that this dividend
was to be raised. The sensational
demonstration OF strength in United
States Steel as the market opened
was of very moderate effect on the
list. For half an hour fully two
thirds of the total dealings We're made
up of United States Steel. but by that
time it had lost it's initial raise of
l Ii, which had extended its record
price by that much to Sc IA. In
Reading. Union Pacific. st. Paul and
other recent speculative favorites
meanwhile, the realizing sales were
pushed persistently and wide inroads
were made on their prices. The money
market showed no signs of disturbance.
but the statistics of the banking po-
sition make 1t evident that resources
for merely speculation operations on
a scale of millions which had been 50
employed recently. are becoming re-
strictca. The private discount rate
rose again today in London and Ber-
lin.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, (par
vaiue). s2.!s6.000.
United states bonds unchanged on

MONUMENT OPPOSED.
Design for Women of the confederacy
 Memorial Unsatisfactory.

From the New York Tribune.
 The movement to erect in every state of the south replicas of monument modelled by Louis Amateis. of Washing ton, which would be memorials to the women of the Confederaey, has encoun- tered formidable opposition from Nash vile, Tenn, in the shape of protest against the design by Frank Cheat ham Bivouac a prominent organization of Confederate veterans in that city
 This organization recently described the design as that of "a militant female of visage grim and pose ferocious, with out stretched arms grasping In one hand the blade of a sword and with the other the staff of a Haunting flag, constituting spectacle most repulsiye when considered in connection with the object sought.
 "It yields in no sense a suggestion or southern womanhood," the resolutions go on to say, "but, on the contrary, In every possible aspect In which it can be viewed is bitterly in variance with our conception of the gentle, refined, tender, faithful, prayerful and devoted women- the heroines that we knew and loved In the sixties"
 Gen. Irvine c. Walker, commander of the army of the North Virginia depart ment. and chairman of the monument committee of the United Confederate Veterans, says In a letter received here regarding the controversy:
 we had bad setback at the Memphis reunion recently, but I feel that the movement Is stronger because of it's &C., ton than ever before, and that we shall get a better design. The military atti- tude of the figure symbolizing the women of the confederacy did not please the Veterans and Sons.
 Tt had been. and will be, the endeavor of the monument committee properly to honor and perpetuate the fame of the noble women of the Confederacy. We shall try at once to get an artistic de- sign which shall be more approprate and popular"
