NEW LOW 1911 RECORDS
WERE REACHED. ...

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-There was con-
siderable sameness in the stock market,
a bit Of a rise at the opening. this to
bring values to near the closing prices
of Thursday, and then a drop to new
low records for the year, everything on
the list being more or less affected by
the slump, but with action largely con-
centrated in the particular delights of
the bears, Union Pacific and Steel COM
mon. At times other stocks were nearly
neglected. Reading, St. Paul, New York
Central, and other stocks attracted con-
siderable attention now and then, and
again they would be little better than
nominal.
Friday is usually bear day. at least
II is a day favored by the short sellers
because 1t is not necessary to make de-
liveries on Saturday-contracts running
over until Monday. Nor are the bears
as interested as usual in evening up
their contracts over the Sunday ad-
journment. They know that the market
is Just now in a position where noth-
ing that can occur over the adjourn
ment will help II, while the chances for
further unfavorable developments in the
way of labor troubles, crop scares, for

bearish sentiment. while the failure OF
anything untoward to develop could not
be considered favorable.

LOCAL SECURITIES

ON LIMITED SALES

There was some selling OF Washing
ton Gas shares today that broke this
stock down to IS, the lowest point for
several weeks. 1t was probably the
result Of the desire of some holder to
use the cash elsewhere and not because
OF any facts or even rumors. All stories
that come from the gas company are
tales of good earnings, saving in op-
Grating expenses, and reductions in SAL
aries without impairment Of service.
Initial sales were at SS7s. the closing
at IS.
Railway common very steady at 43%,
a betterment of y over recent bid price
and a reduction of Y in recent asked

may account for the fact that not an
important suspension has attended
this decline.
Perhaps the most important item Of
news of the day, overlooked In the
gloom, was the first case wherein the
Interstate Commerce Commission has
shown the slightest disposition to
stand for an advance in rates, The
suspension order against an advance
in rates on cotton over the Missouri
Pacific, Iron Mountain, and Southern
roads was set aside and the roads
were permitted to make their sched-
ule effective September l. Under the
original suspension February Is, 1912,
was named as the date of postpone
ment
1t would seem as II the commission
might be undergoing change OF
heart, considering the labor troubles
and other railway bothers. This Is
but a straw, and is welcomed as such.

It ought to be attractive to investors.

verbal currency before IT was inscribed in

According to the papyrine. a certain
scribe who worked for the Temple of Thoth
occupied apartments where his neighbors
on either side were coppersmith and a car
penter respectively. These honest artis-
ans were exemplary specimens of industry,
and kept up such a row all day and most
OF the night that the poor scribe was al
most driven mad. At last by a stroke Of
crattiness he buttonholed each neigbor sep
