The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
Tho Leading Stocks.

! New York. Aug. 25-With the return of
| =. II. Hartman and his positive avoWal

change seemed to come over the spirit of
Wall Streets speculative dreams today
the financial district were prepared for

maEnate. While his bullish views on the
country and his plans for new construc-
hearty echo in conservative quarters.
there is nevertheless keen disappoint-
ment, largely among the professional ele7
ment, that the chief incentive for forcing
| gone for a time, at least. 1t eliminates
! the most important features which have
accompanied, when they have not actual
| ~ propelled. the recent outbursts of en-
| thUsia SIN. 1t is believed that Mr.. Harri-
mans earnest faith in the country's flu
| ture will largely neutraize the disap-
pointment felt in regard to his financial
policies.
| Quite as important Mr.. Hartman S
return to the scene of his greatest activi-
ties is the victory gained yesterday by
| the Western railroads over the Interstate
| Commerce Commission in the Missouri
rate case. The commission is permanent
1y enjoned from enforcing its through
and seabOard rates. and if the opinion of
bunal. it will greatly curtail the power of
the commission over the transportation
companies. Meanwhile. immediate bene-
fit will accrue to manv manufacturers
and producers at such important points
as PittSburg. Buffalo and Parkersburg in
the East. and the Mississippi section in
the West. AS the matter stands today the
power TO make rates remains with the
railroads.
Opening sales of stocks reflected ner-
vous and unsettled conditions, the great
est losses being incurred by the Hartman
group. Except for Union Pacific, which
came out in an initial block of $500 shares,
trading was not in especially large vol
ume although the first hours business
exceeded 100000 shares. Losses at the
outset ranged from two points in Union
Pacific to one in all the speculative IA
vorites. First declines gave place to
some firmness before the end of the first
hour only to be followed by another dip
which sent the list lower than before.
The market then took another breathing
spell, but by noon substantially all active
stocks were off q to points.
Much of the liquidation was obviously
for long account, but in the main it rep
resented bear selling, directly chiefly
against Union Pacific. Southern Pacific
and other stocks with Hartman interests.
In the early afternoon business grew dull
with only slight recovery from the low
nal hour a sudden squirt brought substan-
tial betterment all around. but renewed
pressure upon Union Pacific resulted in an
irregular close. Londons net operations
here were estimated at about 1000
shares chiefly purchases. Monetary con-
duced demand for practically all accom-
modationS.
The bond market was heavy through
out Total sales. par value, were 1888. 900.
There were no changes in United States
government bonds.

PROJECT TO EXPAND THE
NATIONAL COMMISSION,

Chicago, Aug. 25.-The National Com
mission of organized baseball will hold
its annual session for the opening of
drafts in Chicago Monday, and at that
time one of the most momentous issues
that has ever arisen in the government
of the national pastime will be dis
cuSscd.
1t appears that there has been an
idea among club owners for some time
that the affairs of organized baseball
have become too unwieldly for three
mon. and plans have been proposed for
the expansion of the National Commits
sion in such a way that minor leagues
shall have representation.
1t is said that John T. Brush. among
others. gave his endorsement to the
proposal before sailing for Europe. 1t
remained, however. for Pres. Murphy of
the Cubs to make the first public an
nouncement of the plan here. The pro-
posal is to expand the National Com
mission into a body of five or seven
members before which every claim
shall be decided on at hearings which
vii lbe open to the public: that play
ers with grievances shall be heard in
person or by personal representation
through an advocate, not an attorney
thetthe members of the body he sal
aried individuals who shall meet at reg
ular intervals to take up all affairs OF
baseball which demand attention of ;
supreme court.

Wonderful Performance by
Hamburg Belle at Cleveland

Cleveland, Ohio. Aug. 25.-Hamburg
Belle defeated Uhlan in two straight
heats in their match race at North
Randall today, and also set a new
worlds record for trotting race and
for the fastest two heats ever trottcd.
The new record for a mile is 201L,
and was made in the first heat of the
race. The former record of 2.03A was
held by Cresceus. The stallion made
the record in match race with The
Abbott at Brighton Beach in August
1901.
Sweet Marie formerly held the rec
ord for the fastest two heats trotted,
having made mile in 2.O43i and 2O3A
at Syracuse, ". Y. September II, 1906
Hamburg'S Bellies time is 2.01A and
2.01A.
Immediately after the first heat,
Hamburg Belle was sold to ii. NJ
Hanna of this city for $4,000 by Ed
ward and Joseph Madden, owners of
the mare, sons of John f.. Madden. Mr.
Hanna will permit the mare to finish
her season, including the series of races
of two best in three between tho
mare and Uhlan. The race today
counts as one of the races, the second
will be run at Readville, Mass, Sept
3 and if it is necessary to run third
race. the meeting place will be selected
later.
The weather was ideal and the new
track was lightning fast
The betting at first was at even
money with Uhlan hackers scarce, and
then the odds dropped to $25 to '$1s
Hamburg Belle drew the pole and got
away with a head the advantage OF
the star. The bay mare drew away
from Uhlan until she was a length
ahead at the quarter pole. Uhlan
showed a remarkable burst of speed in
the next quarter, forcing Hamburg
Belle to use every bit of her strength
to prevent him from going ahead of
her. The bay mare led by less than a
head when the half mile post was
reached in 1.01 Down the track the
horses sped to the three-quarter pole
in 1.31, and when they headed into the
hnme stretch they were neck and neck.

PASTORS SON
WOULD OPEN SUNDAY
GAMES WITH SERMONS

Chicago Aug ga sermon would
be a fitting opening to each major
league baseball game played on Sun
day. according to Bruce Barton, son
of the Rev. w. F.. Barton, pastor of the
First Congregational church, Oak
Park. He says that although he does
not favor Sunday baseball, yet he
thought the plan feasible.
Barton says he has mentioned the
matter to some of the prominent min
listers of Chicago and also has set the
facts before persons connected with
the, management of major league
teams, and that in all instances his
suggestion had been approved. Barton
says that the matter had been ap-
proved by both President Charley Muir
ply of the Chicago Nationals and
Charles Ebbetts of Brooklyn.

JIMMY BARRY BESTS
BURNS AT LOS ANGELES

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 25.-Jim Bar
ry had the best of tame 10-round
fight with Jack Burns at the Pacific
Athletic Club arena last night. No de-
cison was given from the ring.
Barry sent Burns to the floor in both
the second ana the sixth rounds with
right swings and at times showed
flashes of his former speed. but for the
most part the rounds were devoid of
anything like good or rapid fighting
ana were rcplete with clinches and foot
racing. In the 10th Barry went after
his man and had him in distress at the
end of the fight
Before the fight started the winner
was publicly promised a fight with
Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion,
in this city at some date during the
latter part of September. The deci-
sion of the sporting writer's of the
morning papers today will determine
which of the two will fight Johnson.
Barry probably will be chosen.
