REAL ESTATE BUSINESS GOOD.
n. l.. Sansbury Declares summer Has
Brought No Dizziness.

y. L. Sansbury says that. judging by
the business done by his Office, this will
be a banner year In Washington real
estate. Never before has he known the
business to continue so actively and
steadily through the summer months,
when large proportion of the buying
clientele is supposed to be absent from
the city In quest Of pleasure and recrea-
ton.
Mr.. Sansbury notes a strong and
healthy tone in the market and an active
demand for all classes Of property, ex-
tending from the small six-roOm houses
and investments 10 pretentious homes and
high-class business property. He OBJ
serves a continually increasing demand
for detached and semi-suburban homes,
especially In sections provided with good
transportation facilities.

RumOrs About Hartman In
fluence Market.
LONDON AFFECTED BY REPORTS
Sales I'm Lots of 100 10 500 shares
Said to Indicate Forced Liquida-
ton of weekly Margined Accounts.
Strength of Steel stocks Served 10
Steady the Exchange.

New York. Aug 2s.-At the opening Of
the market to-day Union Pacific. New
orh Central. and Southern Pacific sold
at prices well below yesterdays closing.
Most Of the traders seemed TO be alarmed
over the reports in many Of the morn
ing papers regarding Mr., Harrimans
health. and heavy selling orders from
London indicated that there. too. the con-
dltion OF his health had not been entirely
discounted In tbs stock market.
The selling OF Union Pacific continued
until tho stock was more than five points
below yesterdays close. Trading was
active. but 1t was noticeable that not
so many big blocks came out as on pre-
vlous days.
Forced Liquidation shown
A far greater proportion OF sales was In
lots OF 100 TO 800 shares. a circumstance
that may indicate the forced liquidation
Of weakly-margined accounts held in
brokerage Offices. and show a cessation
OF the more important liquidation than
Of large holding by men OF wealth.
In the middle Of the session. a ylgor-
Gus denial was given TO reports that Mr.
Hartman was about to undergo an oper-
alton. and in the last hour a better
feeling IN regard 20 the Hartman stocks
seemed 20 prevail although. Of course.
the gain in the last hour was due partly
to the wide and customary covering Of
short contracts at the end Of tho week S
business.
The Hartman stocks excepted. the
market acted better after the early trad
Ing than at any previous time since the
break began. The strength OF the Steel
shares was particularly impressive. and
served greatly 20 steady the market as
a whole. and impaired stability 10 other
industrial stocks and TO the stocks OF
railroads with which Mr.. Hartman IS
not connected.
The bank statement indicated. as did
the bank statement last week, heavy
liquidatlons of stocks by men of wealth.
who purchased them In the spring and
early summer at prices well below those
prevailing even after as violent a break
In stocks as has been seen this week and
who financed these purchases 10 a con-
siderable extent with time money
The clearinghouse banks I'm the av-
erage statement reported an increase OF
$4,000 In loans. and the State banks
and trust companies showed an Increase
Of more than 100000 As has been
pointed out previously. n contraction of
loans is ordinarily expected after a pc
Rod OF liquidation in the stock market.
Purchases Below Mark.
But the circumstances recently have
been different for the reason that the
purchases or many large holders OF Sc
curities were made so far below current
prices for stocks that not so much could
be borrowed on them at the time Of the
purchases as could be borrowed by those
who have purchased these same stocks
IN the last two weeks.
There has, OF course. been IN the past
week much liquidation OF stocks bought
at higher prices but this circumstance
emphasizes the magnitude OF the realiz-
Ing sales by the holders Of big blocks.
