The present period of the year is what
is known as the dull season in the build
ing trades. Dizziness at this season Is
an annual occurrence, independent OF
current conditions. An important factor
this year in curtailing building activity
has been the long continued and unusual
severity Of the winter General business
conditions, also. have not been prOpitious.
But even under such circumstances the
records Of the building inspectors office
shows the total value Of the building op-
erations in the District outside of what
the general government has done is ST.
100000 in excess Of the same period last
year.
In other words, for the fiscal year Begin
ming on the LIST of July, 1911, the money
spent and proposed to be spent in new
building enterprises is greater by that
amount than for the corresponding por-
ton of the preceding fiscal year. There
8 not much change to be noted in the
character of the building. AS many
apartment houses have been built and
are in course of erection this current fiscal
year as was the case during the previous
year. The same condition holds true in
regard to the number of dwellings,. and
these two classes of buildings form the
oulk of the building operations In this
city.
New office buildings also figure largely
in the value column of local building as
well as in the public eye. There Is no
phase of the modern development of the
city that attracts as much attention as the
erection o. these big structures The size
Of the undertakings and their location
n the business centers, where they liter
ally Trust themselves upon the atten-
ton of the passing crowds, make the
office structures always the most con-
spicuous of the improvements of the city.
House Building Little Noticed.
It is quite possible for entire sections
Of the outlying portions of the District
to be wholly built up with houses, and at
an expenditure of money that would pay
for several Office buildings, and yet such
important developments will entirely
escape the attention of large number
of citizens. l. no one can escape no.
ticing the big buildings which are trans
forming some of the blocks in the bust
ness part of the city into veritable can
yons. The height Of the local office struc-
lures is not SO great on the average as
Is the height OF similar buildings in other
cities where the building laws do not re-
strict the amount of sky space which may
be utilized, nor is the mere matter of
height SO impressive as it is in other
cities where the streets are not so broad
and where the canyon effect is more COM
pletely secured.
1t is not remarkable then that these
large business buildings are attracting

MARKET NEWS
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Charters of yes sel room here today to load more than a million bushels of wheat for Buff falo tended to give the cereal strength. Although the final tone was easy, the market closed shade to 3-S@ lsc above last night. Corn finished sixteenth to 3-Sc up, oats varying fro ma shade off to 1-Sc ad- vance, and provisions strung out from 5c decline to Sc increase in cost.
 Aggressive action by short sellers ,of wheat started as soon as the mar ket showed a disposition for an up turn. Erratic price changes followed but the bulls had the advantage most of the time and took profits on a large scale during the last hour
 More scarcity complaints by conn. try dealers who have old stock to ship made the corn market firm. The trade ignored tIhe fine weather for matur. 1 ing the new crop.
 Cash grades were in good demand In the oats crowd shorts covered freely, but longs realized in a liberal way so that in the end prices showed little difference.
 1 Most of the business in provisions consisted in September holders chang ing to October and January. Packers and shorts took the offerings. Lasi
 nights average level of prices was we'll maintained.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, Aug. 2S.--An early de- cline carried the cotton market into new low ground for the movement to- day, but good demand developed around 10Ac for January contracts, and prices later rallied with the close very steady, net ? points higher to 5 points lower.
 The opening was barely steady at a decline of eos points under liquida- tion by some of yesterdays late buy CTS who were probably disappointed by relatively easy Liverpool cables. Offerings were pretty well taken right after call and fluctuations were more irregular all during the morning but a little later there was heavy sell ing by leading trade interests. Prices broke to net loss of 13 points under the pressure with December selling at 10.S7c and January 1075c, or cou- pie of points under yesterdays rec ords.

AmerIean EInaneIers Intereated.

New York, Aug. 2S.-American fin- arcial interests in Nicaragua are al most wholly represented by J. and W. Seligman & Company and Brown Brothers & Company, who. several
 ears ago, received a charter to establish in that country q national bank In which the home government vas to be large stockholder.
 These bankers also offered to loan Nicaragua s15.0O0000 subject to tho approval of the congresses of Nicara gIa and the United States. The lat ter withheld it's approval. whereupon the bankers made a temporary loan of s1,500.000 to meet Nicaragua's s more pressing needs. For this loan tue bankers received. as part collat- eIal the right to collect customs tt all Nicaraguan ports, making their own representatives.
 Soon after the present revolution some $20.000,0O0 of Nicaraguan paper money, resting by reason of it's de- based standard. perhaps $1000. 900 of United States currency. had been is- sued, presumably by the revolution ists. without knowledge or consent of the government
 There are many claims of various characters pending against Nicarag- la the largest being that of an Eng fish banking syndicate for about S15,- e,000 Other claims include dam- ages arising from mining, industrial ard railroad concessions, most of which are understood to have been revoked by the general now com handing the revolutionary forces.
 Bankers interested in Nicaragua declined today to comment on the latest turn of affairs beyond assert ing their belief that the situation is grave,

Seed potatoes Are scarce.

Dixon, Feb. 26.-Those interested in
growing potatoes say that seed pota-
toes especially of the early varieties,
are going to be very high in price this
spring. The early potato crop was
failure in many sections of the coun-
try. A Wisconsin dealer In a letter to
growers here says early Ohio potatoes
are scarce and undoubtedly will be in
great demand. Most Of the middle
western and southern growers have
used their early potatoes and will have
to purchase seed potatoes from the
few states that have them for sale.

IOWA CITY POLITICIAN
SINDICTED FOR LIBEL

Iowa City, Iowa, Feb. 26.-The
grand jury Saturday indicted e. d.
Murphy, merchant and politician and
one of the leaders of the Civic league.
The indictment alleges Murphy
criminally libeled seven members of
the city council and City Clerk
George T. Reddick. The grand jury
convened in special session to inves-
tigate the case and spent week ex-
amining witnesses.
Murphy was indicted under q
charge that he maliciously and false
ly published in bulletin form that
graft prevailed at the city hall; that
members of the city council profited
by a contract to build and furnish
the new city Jail; that the city clerE
was short in his accounts, etc.
1t is believed numerous leading
citizens were involved in the publ
cation of the bulletins" and sensa
tional developments are anticipated
in court. Murphy declares he will
prove his innocence.
