New Yark, Aug. f.-Union Pacific
stock led the market to-day in a sharp
rally and in the afternoon was leader in
another mysterious decline that unset
tied the list and wiped out most of the
gains of the early trading. The market
broadened, but the broadening was due
to an extension of the selling movement
into more of the inactive issues.
Odd lots buying was in evidence and
although the small investors took many
thousand shares, the liquidation Of large
blocks was so persistent as to counter
act the good influence of this buying.
A single block of 8, 400 shares Of Union
Pacific was sold at one transaction and
one block of $500 shares of Steel. The
close was irregular, active, and weak.
Strength in the early part of the day
was due to report that the Union Pa
cific Railroad Company would issue a
statement late in the day explaining
the selling of the stock. The weakness
of the afternoon was due to a general
feeling that If such a statement were
made it would be virtually a call for
help. Therefore, the professionals at
tackled the market. They were helped
In this attack by the labor troubles in
England and the strength of the grain
markets. When the Union Pacific state
The Washington herald., 1911-08-18

ment finally appeared, an hour after the
close, it was found to contain nothing
explaining the mystery, but 1t did con-
tain an admission that added to the
mystery. d
Although the Union Pacific statement
was the spectacular feature Of the day
in Wall street, the leading bankers paid
most attention to labor disturbances in
Europe. and to the grain and cotton
markets. Owing to the delicate labor
situation in this country, it is feared
that an active labor war in England will
excite an outbreak here.
Excess Of exports over imports in July
was s9,529,SSS or nearly a high record.
This was somewhat cheering, but again
it must be said that the record
breaking cotton crop this year will be
exported at figures so low as to make
cotton yield less foreign exchange than
did the smaller crop Of last year.
Viewed from the standpoint of the gen.
eral good of the whole world, 1t would
seem that the more cotton that could be
raised the better 1t would be for the
world, but as go per cent Of America s
cotton crop is exported and as the cost
Of raw cotton is only small fraction of
| the price Of the finished material, the
| ultimate consumers do not notice ordi-
nary fluctuations in the price Of the raw
material.

There were reports current that English spnners

and other freight for Liverpool. Early in the day
the market steadier the suspension Of the
strike order in Liverpool. Late in the afternoon,
however, it became known that general railroad
strikes had been ordered throughout the United
Kingdom and the market became sluggish and dull.

WATCHING WATER COURSE.
Plans Made to Bring in supply
from Patuxent River.

Col. Langfitt and Capt Hannum, the
army engineers in charge Of the District
water supply system. are now engaged
making surveys Of the Patuxent River
to ascertain the advisability of run
ming a conduit from that river to Wash
ington to met the gradual increase
in the consumption of water. The
work is being performed under a Con.
gressional act, which appropriated $500
for the completion Of the preliminary
survey of the river made In 1905.
The engineers have two plans under
consideration. the construction Of ar
other conduit from Great Falls and the
harnessing of the Patuxent. Tide gauges
and current meters are now being EN-
ployed on the river by the engineers for
securing necessary data. The cost of the
Patuxent conduit would probably be be-
tween 100000 and 100000.
