OCCASIONAL, INTERVALS OF RE.
Il SISTANCE AND RECOVERY
H LAST WEEK.
ENORMOUS CONGESTION
Union Pacific Was Subject Of U1
ending Gossip Congressional
Investigations Have Effect
on Market Conditions.

New York, Aug. 20.--With occa-
sional intervals of resistance and
recovery prices were forced last
week to new levels for the year al
though substantial rebound set in
|, before the end. The volume OF sell
ing gave rise to constant surmise az
! to its sources and varying explana-
tions of Its motives.
A conspicuous fact was the enor-
nous congestion Of the dealing In a
hand full of stocks which have
served MS counters for the principal
speculation for many months past,
especially Union Pacific, United
States Steel aud Reading.
Union Pacific especially was the
subject of uneuding gossip about In
ternal dissentions, selling out OF
holdings of retired capitalists or es-
tates and coming dividend redue-
tions. all of which was denied by
President LoYett.
Outside the immediate turmoil OF
the stock exchange, causes for the
decline of more general application
are discernible. A contract of busi-
ness outlook and promise with that
of the early years in itself accounts
for much of the readjustment that
has taken place. .f.
The fact that ilI-judged .specula-
ton was persisted in despite pecu-
liar events up to the latter part of
July when highest prices for the
year were made, goes to explain the
vulnerable positions of the market
under the necessitous liquidation.
Transfers over $50, 100000 cash
from bank reserves to government
vaults In payment for Panama canal
bonds upset calculations of money
market resources.
The Moroccan crisis and the labor
disturbances In England converging
on financial position abroad liable
to strain has prompted large mar
keting of foreign holdings of Ameri-
can securities and advanced bids by
foreign borrowers to induce Ameri-
can credit to be left undisturbed
rather than recalled for employment
at home.
From an early promise in May
and June for bumper. crops of wheat
and corn, deterioration has brought
down the promise on August 1, to a
deficiency of $40 900, 900 in yield to
wheat. corn and oats, compared with
last year.
Bank clearings, mercantile re-
turns and steel trade statistics in
stead of therapid trade recoverief
looked for have disclosed only grad.
ual progress and in some cases sta.
tionary conditions.
These conditions dulled specula.
tive appetite and left speculative
buyers unable to dispose of holdings
at the high level to which their
operations had carried prices.
The series of congressional inves.
LEGATIONS of corporate affairs. the in
terstate commerce commissions de-
cision adverse to railroad rate In
creases. and the prospect Of tariff
legislation the coming winter made
additional discouraging factors.
Reports of concerted demand
from railroad laborers for higher
wages threatened trouble in another
direction. ''y.t"
The fall in stock prices from tn,

accurate factor OF disappointment O

FLIGHT FROM BUFFALO ACCOM-
PLISHED WITHOUT SINGLE
MISHAP OR STOP.
335 MILES FROM GOTHAM
Aviator Will Soon Have Broken All
Previous Records for Distance
Went Faster Than Mile
a Minute at Times.

Lyons, New York, Aug. 90
Nine hundred and thirty miles from
st. Louis, his starting point, Harry
N. Atwood the young Boston avia-
tor, who is fast approaching the
worlds long-distance record. in his
flight to New York, landed in field
at Lyons this afternoon after flying
s1o4,, miles from Buffalo without a
stop. 4g4
Ascending in Buffalo !. at 3:20
o'clock Atwood, who. has flown sew
teral days without a mishap, climbed
to high altitude, turned eastward,
and hit brisk wind from the west,
shot over towns and villages at a
speed which kept railroad telegraph
operators busy reporting his prog
ress In one instant he went four
miles in three minutes and reaching
Rochester, GO miles from Buffalo, he
went around the city SO fast that
persons standing on office buildings
could not get more than glimpse
at him
Atwood is now 335 miles from
New York. BY Tuesday night he
hopes to reach Albany and on We'd
nesday in one-day flight down the
Hudson river he expects to break
the worlds record for distance and
finish his trip, landing at Coney Is
land in New York before sun down.
For the 939 miles already covered
he has beer in the air actually 10
hours and Us minutes.
Atwood will break the world, g
Idng-distahce record If he reaches a
point on the Hudson south of AL
bany between Greendale and Rhine
cliff. If he reaches Rhinecliff he
will have flown 1,177 miles, or Just
13 miles more than the present rec
ord of 1,164 miles won by European
aeronauts.
His flying time he expects will be
ten days as compared to thirty days
taken by the present record holders.
II he reaches New York City, the
Bostonian in distance, will have
broken the worlds record by 101
miles.
Eighteen towns and villages saw
the aviator today as he swept over
them, some times flying low as $50
feet SO he could read the names of
the railroad stations as he passed. A
few miles out of Buffalo where he
ascended from race track in a
breeze off the lake so strong that II
carried him around in a circle of a
mile before he could get started, At
wood struck out eastward over the
New York Central railroad tracks
which are to fix his course all the
way to New York. Running at his
usual mile a minute clip he passed
over towns at intervals of ten to fif-
teen minutes. Batavia, 81 miles
from Buffalo, reported him there 3S
minutes after his start.
1t was between East Palmyra and
New York that he made the best
record time of the day, covering the
four miles between these two points
In three minutes. Getting In to-
wards Lyons, Atwood found he had
not sufficient gasoline to carry him
to Syracuse so he picked out a clear
field on a hill near the, town and
descended.
