New York, Aug. A.-Continued liquids-
tion and the absence of support by the
leading banking interests resulted in a
further break in standard stocks in Wall
street to-day. New low records for the
year were made by nearly all the spec
ulative favorites, Union Pacific touching
a new bottom for the year at 1S6 "a,
Steel at 01-S Southern Pacific at ITO,
and Pennsylvania at 11s 3-4. At the low
level losses ranged from to points,
the maximum decline being in Union Pa
ctdc. In the last hour Of the session
there was a feeble rally, due to short
covering, but the close left prices only
fractionally above the lowest.
Owing to the less encouraging reports
regarding the steel and iron trade. the
professional traders concentrated their
efforts on Steel, blocks of thousand
shares frequently changing hands as the
price declined. Weakness of Steel COM
mon excited some liquidation of the pre-
ferred, which sold at the new low price
for this year of ia rs. Union Pacific,
while not offered as freely as Steel, de-
clined Is points before shorts decided
to realize on their paper profits and
cover. Reading sold at its low figure.

Lehigh Valley also touched last weeks
low point. The only buying originated
from the short interest, and for this rea-
son the feeble rally of the last half
hour Of the session was discouraging.
Several railroad officials let 1t be known
that their roads were not contemplating
the adoption Of the retrenchment policy,
but the mere fact that they failed to
attach their names to their utterances
was accepted by Wall street as evidence
OF their insincerity.
As the market has not received a SUBJ
stanttal rally since the inception of the
downward movement, followers Of the
tape were surprised when they learned
that the demand for stocks in the loan
crowd to-day showed a considerable
shrinkage. The street is now puzzled as
to whether good portion of the short
interest covered quietly or whether long
stock was delivered
Many dividend paying stocks are now
selling on a very attractive investment
basis, viewed from the investors stand
point Commission houses that make a
speciality of odd lots report that the
purchasing Of odd lots is a great deal
better than the selling. They add, how
ever, that while the small investor is
picking up good dividend paying stocks
he is not making much noise about 1t.

COTTON MARKET.

Quotations furnished by ". B. Hibbs & Co, mem
bers Of the New York Stock Exchange. Hibbs Build
ing.
New York. Aug A.-The market was held steady
yesterday notwithstanding the fact that some good
rains were reported from North Texas and Oklahoma
An early decline caused by these reports and BY
settled labor conditions 10 Liverpool made the
basis OF moderate buying movement, and the mar
ket, while narrow, was at time weak during the
session. Perhaps the general belief that trade
ditions in England will improve the settlement
Of the labor troubles and that better inquiry for
actual cotton may follow encourages holders OF
tracts Meantime, the Southern producers are
sponsible for nearly all the pressure the market
The morning cables reported that the decline in
Liverpool was in Consequence Of free offerings Of
cotton.
The weather map showed cloudy and unsettled
conditions at nearly all Of the stations. Later in
the day privlte wires and Official records for the day
previous showed liberal rainfall for North Central
Texas and Northeast Texas. with good rains at
Oklahoma The forecast for the entire cotton belt
indicates showers rains. The market opened
easy at decline of from to Is points. There
some active liquidation and short selling. October
sold at III: December Ills; January u.2s, and
March at u.S4 during the first half hour Of the
morning session. From this level good supporting
orders were in evidence. and the market advanced
from lS to II points before the demand was salts
fed. There was no special effort made to carry
prices higher and for the remainder Of the session
and until the close dullness prevailed.

Big Trade Rumored.

way between the Washington Loan and
Mortgage Company and Harry Wardman
for a trade of twenty-three unimproved

port, Mr.. Wardman contemplates the
erection of twenty-three moderate-priced

Money Situation sound.

In recent statement issued by J. s.
Bache & Co., through A. G. Plant &
Co., Of this city, the money situation is
summed up as follows:
The money situation is sound. Money
is easier. and in view Of the liquida-
ton in securities will probably become
still more so. There has been for some
time no excited speculation or brisk
business, and credits are consequently not
overextended The banking situation
throughout the country seems to be a
strong one, and the Bank of England
has this week still further increased its
reserve"

FINANCE AND REALTY

Business spruced up little at yester-
days session of the local exchange. The
demand was particularly good for Cap
ital Traction IS, which got back to Ill.
The supposition seems to be that the
price of these bonds has let down a little
in anticipation of the distribution of some
S1,3OO.OCO among the shareholders next
December. This is a long way off, how
ever, and in the meantime nothing seems
more popular in the investment line than
these bonds.
A small inquiry for Mergenthaler de-
Sveloped some business around 233 IA and
2S3 This is one of the properties that
generally develops a scarcity of the artl-
Gle about the time fair demand for the
goods put in appearance.
Railway preferred was q bit on, but
when bids were wanted for some quoted
lots. the interest, which always watches
the situation carefully, quickly sold what
was wanted at SO 1-2, against previous
sales at SO IS.
Washington-Virginia common again put
in an appearance on the sales record
after several weeks of complete oblivion,
and touched a new high mark on single
transaction of 100 shares, which went at
42 1-2
There is apparently just as much bust
ness, proportionately, here as on the BAL
timore and New York exchanges, and the
activity, in the opinion of many brokers'
has kept up much longer during dog days
than in previous years.

May Have New Building.

Oficials Of the Department of Com
merce and Labor are not altogether dis
couraged because Congress adjourned
without authorizing the department to
lease a new building for term of five
years and at an advanced rental The
proposition was to enter this five-year
lease with a local builder who would
erect a handsome Office building large
enough to house practically all of the
bureaus of the department. This would
involve an increase in rental of about
Sis, and for this increase as well as
authority to enter a five-year contract,
the department must receive authorize
ton from Congress.
Oficials said yesterday that II Con-
gress should grant the necessary author
ity as soon as 1t convenes in December,
the hackers of the proposition would
guarantee to erect the building by next
august. The department figures out
that the handsome new departmental
building contemplated for the Mall will
not be completed before the expiration of
five years.
