HEAVY AND DULL WITH
PRICES RECEDING

NEW YORK, July 26.-2 p, m.-Tns
majority of stocks have been stationary
or slowly creeping downward since noon.
The market while fairly firm has no
buoyancy. It offers little inducement
either to the bulls or bears. II is I'M
derstoOd that there are large short in
terests In a few issues, but floor traders
are Of the opinion that shorts are not
very numerous in the market.
It is generally the practice not to sell
2 bull market short and the probability
is that this principle has been pretty
well adhered TO, especially in railroad
shares and the Industrial group. AS a
consequence. there is small likelihood OF
a bear raid at the present time. and the
records of business show that the situa-
ton Is not drawing any large volume Of
long stock buying into the market.
At this hour the majority Of stocks
are from stout fractions to a full point
below the opening this morning.

Suddenly a large wagon drawn by
TWO horses drove hurriedly around the

Schedules.
] With respect to schedules, the COM
pany took up one of the orders of the
commission issued February g, 1903, re-
curing that on and after April l, be-
tween the hours Of 4;S0 and D. m. on
the North Capitol street line, between
Fifteenth and g streets and North Cap
itol and I streets, a two and three
quarter-minute schedule be maintained,
with a sufficient number of thirty-four
seated cars.
The company insisted that. as the new
First street line, a branch Of the North
CAPITOL street line, has been inaugu-
rated since, the order works a hardship,
and should be amended.
MI. Eddy, after reviewing conditions
entering into this complaint at length,
states, in MS report to the commission,
that, upon observations taken, il the
Roadway on this line should be changed
TO three minutes, as requested, the aver
age excess would be 25.3 passengers per
car. He insists that from sixteen 10
eighteen passengers standing in a car
IS the greatest number that should be
allowed.
His recommendations, therefore. was
that order IA be modified in such a
manner as to provide for q headWay of
~ minutes between the hours of 4:3O
and $50 p. m, instead Of the % minute
EraHn rod n -
the hours of 1870 and .. m.
The traffic between $50 and S o. m.
was recommended TO be sufficiently
light to justify a three-minute schedule.
Partial Victory.
The partial victory won by the CON-
pany was with respect to the order rel
.ative to schedules on the following lines:
A three-minute schedule, north and
westbound, from Anacostia bridge to
Ninth and G streets, between 7:gO and
s a. m.
A two and ne-quarter-minute scbed-
ule, northbound, between Ninth and +
streets and Eleventh and Monroe
streets, between $40 and 5:20 D. m.
A three one one-half-minute schedule,
south and east, between Ninth and r
streets and Anacostia bridge.
On these three schedules, 34-segted
cars were TO be the minimum size Op-
Grated.
The company requested that order. No
1 be amended to constitute a 3-minlIte
schedule; that order No. = be amended
70 a 3-minute schedule, and that order
No. be amended to a 4-minute sched-
ule.
Secretary Eddy recommended that the
schedule, as requested, be granted and
allowed to remain in force until October
I, 1909. after which the former schedules

Commissions Order.
On July 8, 1903, the commission issued
an order requiring all tenders and
wheel guards to be of certain approved
patterns, which were enumerated in the
orders. On June y, Of this year the
commission amended this order, requir-
ing that cars must be equipped with
front automatic or platform operated
projecting pickup tenders and with au-
tomato wheel guards, the front end of
the tenders to have an elevation Of not
more than six inches and the front end
Of the wheel guards to have an eleva-
ton Of not more than -four inches.
The Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company insisted that the amend
ment would work an injustice il made
to apply 70 cars now in service, and
suggested that il be again amended in
order to apply to cars acquired after
July 1.
The original amendment was to go
into effect September ].
On recommendation OF Secretary Eddy
the commission ordered today that it
should not 90 into effect until Novem-
Der 1, bUt at that time 1t should apply
in its entirety, affecting cars now IN
service, as we'll as cars to be acquired

Eddy's Report.

Secretary Eddys report to the COM
mission, which was adopted was In part
as follows:
I am informed that Z all the 475
cars operated by the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company, los are pro-
vided with tenders, which can be OPP
Grated from the platform The remain
ing 8g7 cars are equipped with tenders
which are designed 50 as not to be
operated, that is dropped" at all, and
are held at a practically fixed distance
above the track, or else with tenders
which are designed 10 be dropped
but are not provided with the necessary
lever or plunger which should be To-
Gated on the platforms.
The first type used by the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Com oany, that
is those held in a practically fixed pO-
sition above the track are known as the
"TObe" fender, and are used almost eX-
Clusively on the summer cars.
The writer believes that It is a gem
orally accepted theory among street
railway men that a properly operated
fender which can be dropped TO the
pavement is much more likely TO DTeveTE
fatal or serious injury than one which is
maintained in fixed position several
inches above the track A careful
study and observation So this matter
some of which has been made under
very favorable conditions, has convinced
the writer that this theory is correct
be amended was made accordingly
This requirement together with the
Limitation of the height of the fender
above the track when in its normal posi-
uOn are the only restrictions in regard
TO tenders which may be used in the
District Of Columbia and allows the
local companies to equip their cars with
practically any type of fender now on
the market.
1T is believed that the Tobe tenders
can be arranged so as tu be dropped
from the platform without unreasonable
expense TO dhe Washington Railway and
Electric Company provide a sufficient
time Is granted for max I" he change
II have the honor u commend,
therefore, that section i a.. amended
June T. 1903, be not further amended
as suggested by the Washington Rail-
way and Electric Company, but that the
date upon which said amendment shall
be made effective be changed from Sep
