Tigers lost more games than they won,

first place back with them.
II the Tigers do not reverse the condi-

win the pennant this season-not unless
Philadelphia shows a sudden reversal

a difficult proposition to bull the stock
market-when 1t rallies it becomes dull,

servers of the situation assert that a
fairly large buying order sent into the
market at almost any time would give
1t impetus for a rise, but in the same
breath declare that no one has the
nerve to give the order.
1t is a plain case Of an awfully tired
market, pounded right and left by court
decisions. with the minority holders In

they will be treated and selling their
holdings rather than move further in
the gloom, and the effect of their SELL
ing is further unsettling things. In
vestigations run riot; legislation Of the
kind that ignores revenues breaking
loose and further trust batting in tho
air. are not calculated to make for
satisfactory conditions in the stock
market, despite good crops and easy
money.
That the list has offered the slowly
retreating resistance 1t has for weeks
past has been due entirely to the limit
ed holdings IN the hands of the public,
the stocks being largely held by the
big financial houses that have carried
the burden for two years-and must
hang on-they can't let go.

Lower Prices Prevail In
the Washington Markets.
Home Grapes Selling.

Fresh grapes. the rich, blue variety,
raised near here, are plentiful on the
Washington markets, and while the
early season price prevails. they are
having ready sale. Red and white
grapes have been on the local market
for some time, but it is expected that
the local grapes will outsell them.
Apples are coming in more plentiful
and the prices are somewhat lower.
Spinach is out of the market owing to
the recent dry weather, apricots are
gone, aYd "old potatoes" are scarce
While mushrooms are quoted, the sup
ply is very limited. Large consign-
ments of sweet corn, of better quality,
owing TO the rains, have been received,
and prices range from 20 to 40 cents per
dozen.
Pineapples are becoming more scarce,
lemons are both plentiful and cheap
Cantaloupes command a better price
than last week.
The vegetable and truck situation Is
much relieved by rains, the farmers
say. There has been general down.
ward trend in prices, consequently.
Melons are very plentiful. and are low
in price.
Retail prices have followed the slumped
wholesale prices on sea foods. although
the best qualities are bringing about the
same prices as earlier IN the season.
Crabs are stiN firm In price, the local
supply being about equal to the demand.
Some beef and pork prices show a gain
over last week, although butter and
eggs are a shade lower

position of bank examiner for the Dis
trict Bankers Association. New addi-
tlons are being made to the list day by

nor yet an Alexandria expert, will be
finally selected, for the reason that the
idea of having Baltimore banks Join with

aminer makes II necessary that the ex-
aminer when chosen shall have a keen

suspicion could not have a chance to
