BIG DOWNTOWN REALTY DEAL
FORMER NATIONAL CITY BANK
HOME ON G STREET SOLD.
Sale Subject to Lease of United
States Trust Company-Purchase
Solely as Investment.

Realizing handsome profit and at the
same time demonstrating the fact that
downtown real estate is on a decided
boom, the directors of the National City
Bank yesterday sold the former home of
that institution at No. 14OS G street
northwest for S150.OoO. This building
until few years ago was occupied by
the American Security and Trust Com
pany and was purchased in 1904 by the
National City Bank for $4,000. AS the
banking company expended approximately
$4,000 in the installation of vault and
other improvements the turnover" rep
resents net profit of about $4,000. The
building is occupied at the present time
by the United States Trust Company and
the sale was made subject to a two-year
lease on the premises.
Negotiations for the transfer of the
bank building have been pending for
some time and the purchaser was finally
brought forward by the F. H. Smith Com
panV

NEW YORK, July 24.-Today's was
the typically dull and generally unin-
teresting Saturday market in midsum-
mer. In the active stocks there were only
fractional price changes. though even
fractional advances sufficed to carry New
York Central and the Rock Island shares
TO high prices for the year and
Union Pacific to parity with its previous
high record. No particular significance
was attached to these advances, how
ever, and the other fluctuations seem
TO result from no more important motive
than the customary retirement OF con-
tracts by professional operators at the
end of the week.
In this connection it was noted that
the disposition to retire contracts was
less in evidence than usual, traders long
of stocks seeming to have no fear of any
development over the week end, either
in : e tariff situation otherwise, that
would be likely to have a depressing eff
feet upon the market.
In this attitude they were strengthened
by the weekly trade reports. which with
out exception were as favorable as could
be expected or desired. while the indis-
position to make new contracts was un-
doubtedly strengthened by the fact that
the tariff bill remained in the hands of
the conference committee. whereas late
yesterday afternoon Nall street was nat
tered by Washington reports that the
bill would be agreed upon and reported
this morning, and there was q squirt in
the market on this account.
Average Prices at Close.
The close left average prices Of the
active rails at just about the same level
as at the close Of the market last week
and the average Of the industriais but
a small fraction in advance.
The wheat market again showed the
influence OF the continuing favorable re-
ports from all the important wheat Sec
tions and of the rapidly with which the
newly harvested crop is being rushed to
market. Principally on account of this
rapid movement Of new wheat the July
option broke to los. a decline of ga
cents for the day and Of 12A cents for
the week.
In the September and December option
the decline was not as great, SO that the
course Of the market brought the various
options into closer accord than on any
previous day Of the year. with July sell
ing at LOS. September at 1.O5t and De-
cember at 1.O43s. At the close last week
the price for July wheat was l.20A, for
September Ills and for December LOTS.
The Significance of these changes is i'm
portant and obvious.

From Trade Behind In Deliveries.

The weekly review OF the iron trade
prepared by one OF the largest New York
houses showed that most makers are be-
hind in deliveries and have little to sell
for the balance of the year.
In regard to the dry goods trade a
number OF representative periodicals and
houses agreed that the prospects for
fall trade are excellent, and that not
withstanding the uncertainty regarding
cotton schedules in the tariff bill BUSH
ness is better than was expected for this
season of the year.
In copper, also. there was unanimity in
a number of reviews In the opinion that
the weeks advances in prices had been
fully justified by an unexpectedly great
increase in demand, so that altogether
the results of the weeks advance in the
business Improvement were in all lines
in keeping with the most sanguine ex-
pectatiOns.

$4,000 for the Property.

When the price of $4,000 was offered
for the property the representatives of
the National City Bank approached the
directorate of the United States Trust
Company to ascertain whether the latter
desired to meet this figure and become
the owner OF the premises. but a negative
answer was forthcoming and the sale as
indicated was then consummated.
The identity Of the purchaser was not
given by the F. HI. Smith Company,
though 1t is understood the property was
sought solely as an investment. The
United States Trust Company pays a rem
tai OF about 5000 per annum for the
building.
In the sale the National City Bank was
represented by committee of it's direc-
tors. including Wilton ]. Lambert, Frank
lin T. Sanner. Rudolph Behrend and Ed
ward S. Munford.

and Stripes. Consequently it is no
wonder that of South Americas $780,
100000 annual volume of trade. the
maritime nations of Europe get $780,
100000 and We get $4,000, 900. The
same proportion holds good in the
Orient, and our once rich trade with
China is diminishing every year. AS
for Europe, we do not even carry our
own mails, much less the products
OF American Drawn and brain. And
yet in some sections the phrase "ship-
subsidy" causes shiver to creep up
economical spines.

A Nation Practically Without Ships

1T does seem absurd, doesn't it,
remarks the Kansas City Journal,
that the American people should
spend $500,000,OOO or more, nobody
knows how much more, to dig a ditch
across the Panama isthmus which it
has no use for in the present, and, at
the present rate of progress in things
nautical, will never have any use for
in the future? However, this state Of
affairs in regard to our merchant
marine is no more absurd than the
building of great fleet Of war ships
without single American collier to
carry their supplies Of fuel. A $780,
100000 canal is rather expensive
luxury for nation that has no mer-
chant vessels to use it, but a battle
ship without coal is as idle, not to
say superfiuous, as a painted ship on
painted ocean. We have both. And
yet Americans are very fond of being
called wise, and enlightened people;
SnreWd, practical hard-headedI an
kee nation They are 'hardheaded,
certainly, but there is some doubt
about the fhrewd and practical in
view of the evidence before u.s.
1t Is regrettable fact that the
American flag has practically disap-
peared from the seas, where once our
fast clipperbuilt ships were seen i'm
every port, the admired of all nations.

Boston. April 15.-The attack on North Butte was not as aggressive to- day and the bear party appeared con- tented to look on and see what. their efforts of yesterday would bring forth in the way of liquidation They were disappointed, as immediately after an early selling movement of long stock, there was a buying demand which found the market rather bare of of ferings. We have made several inquir- les as to whether the action of the stock yesterday was due to any ad- verse conditions at the property, and have received advice of the most re- liable character that there is abso- lutely nothing wrong at the mine. and we advise buying North Butte on the opening tomorrow for a good turn. The manipulation of yesterday was a bear raid, pure and simple. The market is full of shorts and in a stronger posi- tion than before.

WHEAT.

Chicago. April 15.-The storm of selling in wheat broke here the last half-hour of the session and prices were smashed severely. Several fea- lures helped to bring about the feel ing which preceded the break. Shorts were eager buyers during the morn ing, but there was sufficient selling by the leading bulls in May to relieve the strain. Weakness developed in some of the outside markets. especial ly at Winnipeg. where there was vio- lent break. The feeling in the local trade was nervous from conservative profit-taking during the greater part of the session. The trade was forced into position of sharp selling on stop class orders near the close, and this gave the break to the low point. The feeling was more settled at the close.

New York, April 15.-Prices were ir- regular during today's session and in most cases closed slightly higher than last night, although the advance for the most part was confined to special ties. Several attempts were made to depress prices, but liquidation on the decline was not on a very large scale, and shorts covering revealed a com paratively small amount of stock of fered around present level The large traders are not as aggressive as here tofore. but tender support on the re- sessions and it would therefore seem that moderate profits can be secured by purchasing on declines
