market latterly could not be expected to
absorb these sales without some de-
clines in prices.
In addition to the London offerings and
their effect upon prices there was again
to-day a great deal of perplexity over
the cotton situation.
Transactions In Canadian Pacific were
unusually large and the stock lost IA
points on the day. The bulk Of the sell
ing, 1t seemed, came from London and
Berlin, and largely from Berlin, where
the stock Is ordinarily more active than
is any other security listed on the New
York Stock Exchange. Canadian Pacific
was the weakest of the active stocks.
Those which displayed the greatest re-
sistance to selling pressure were Lead
ing and Lehigh Valley. both of which
were conspicuously strong yesterday In
accordance with the reports of slaoora-
ton of plans for the segregation OF the
coal business from the railroad business.
The foreign exchange markets were a
trifie easier notwithstanding the foreign
selling of stocks in this market Locally
there was no incident of any importance
In money. and crop prospects were again

New York. July N.-After the decline
in stocks to-day 1t was suggested that
the resolution Of the House of Repre-
sentatives asking an investigation Of the
banks and trust companies in this city,
the prevalence Of uncertainty abroad over
the Moroccan situation, and another break
in the cotton market could be ascribed
as reasons for the decline.
The first cause may be dismissed. From
an investigation Of the banking institu-
tions there could be no other result than
the demonstration that the financial sit
uation in the country's banking circle
is much stronger than ever before. The
investigation could have no other than a
beneficial influence.
There was more merit In the next sug-
gestion. The European markets were
fairly steady. but in none of them was
there recovery from the depression
caused by the changing phases Of the
Moroccan difficulties. and London, though
its own market was steady, sold stocks
heavily here. It was estimated that
London sales amounted TO between $1,000
and 5000 shares, and a market that has

HAVE NEW FACTS
IN BEATTIE CASE
Richmond Detectives Keep
Defense in Ignorance.
Special to The Washington Herald.

Special to The Washington Herald
Richmond, Va, July T-Greater se-
crecy than ever was thrown about their
work to-day by the detectives working
on the Beattie case, they explaining that
1t was desired to keep the defense In
ignorance OF the evidence. It was stated,
however, that a witness had been secured
who, on the night of the murder, heard
woman's scream, then a shotgun ex-
plosion, followed by the footing Of a
horn. This is contrary to the state
ment of the husband, in which he said
that after the shot was fired by the
highwayman that killed his wife he yelled
for help and footed his horn. The detec-
tiyes would not divulge the names Of the
new witnesses.
Henry Clay Beattie, jr.. Is beginning
to break down under the weight Of mel
ancholy induced by his close confinement.
To-day for the first time he showed
signs of irritation at his surroundings
and at the batch of postcards and letters
which since his arrest have come to him
daily. He has abandoned his care-free
demeanor and seems to consider seriously
each hint of any new development in
the case. Prison officials predicted to-
day that the young mans downfall would
be sudden and complete.
r. V. Owen, father of the slain woman,
declined to talk about the crime to-day,
saying that he and the elder Beattie have
always been close friends and have
been drawn even more closely together
by their mutual bereavement, which has
left to their care a grandchIld In whose
welfare they are intensely interested.
Baby Beattie is reported to be happy
and healthy at Newport News.
The county officials and city detectives
are still working at odds. and there IL
little harmony in their efforts. The gun
is still in the possession OF Officer Jar
rell, Of Chesterfield County, while the
broken piece of the stock is in the hands
of the city detectives. FARRELL stated to-
day that if necessary he would obtain a
court order TO compel the detectives to
relinouish the broken stock
