Federal judge as the audience, two
plays will be presented within a few

than a year ago and later sent back to
the author as unsuited for stage pro-
ductionG

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.--Good crops,
big business, freedom from political
disturbance, and large earnings from
rails and industrials Is the immediate
outlook for the stock market. The
money situation Ia a little compli-
Gated by decreasing bank surplus and
the expectation that the Bank of
England rate will be advanced at the
next meeting of the board of con-
troll. This, however, will be meas
urably relieved by the distribution of
the September interest disbursements
which are estimated at $4,000, 900
in the Eastern territory Information
channels are all bullish, and the pes
simism Of past days has now given
place to bull optimism. Yesterdays
rise in the market in the afternoon
was due very largely to this change
of sentiment, aided by an uneasy feel
ing of the shorts in Reading. Union.
and Steel.
The market today opened at or
above the high points of yesterday
and advanced slightly in the early
trading. From this high level there
was a reaction carrying prices down
from half to full point, with a sub
sequent rally before noon. AS was the
case yesterday, the industrials were
the stronger and subject to less fuc-
tuation, but the rails gave a good ac-
count of themselves.

COMMISSIONERS TO
ASK APPROPRIATION
|. FOR GARBAGE PLANT
Clean City to Urge Abolition
of Refuse Removal
Contracts.

Consideration will be given by the
Commissioners, in compiling thes next
estimates, to the recomme ndation of the
Stret Cleaning Department, that an ap-
preparation be made for the preparation
of plans for the establishment of a
municipal garbage reduction plant.
The Commissioner last year asked
for $4,000 for the preparation of plans
for a plant to be located on the work
house site at Occoquan, but the item
was eliminated from the District appro-
priation bill on a point of order raised
by Congressman Carlin of Virginia that
1t was new legislation not authorized
by existing law.
Abolition of the contract system for
the removal Of garbage, ashes, and
refuse probably will be recommended by
the clean city committee at its first fall
meeting at the District building Tues
day.
Ii Is pointed out by members of the
committee that ashes collected by the
District could be deposited on Analostan
island, which would aid in building up
the ground so as to make 1t available
for park purposes.
The five-year contracts for the col
lection of ashes. refuse, and garbage
do not expire until June 30, 1915.
