Trading Light, Pending News of
Mexican Situation-SteeI
BiIIets Drop 81 a Ton.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The copper
group was the weakest at the open
ing of the stock market. Trading,
however, was light. Amalgamated
Copper began at 7224, or point under
Wednesdays closing, while American
Smelling dropped u. Chino Copper

OFF. Utah Copper shaded. At the end
of half an hour a better tone prevailed.
utes, the market was mixed, advances
and declines alternating ,and neither
holding for more than ten or fifteen min-
utes at a time.
BY noon, trading was light, pending
definite news Of the Mexican situation.
The announcement of a reduction of
81 a ton In the prices of steel billets
was an unfayorable factor. and may
have been the chief cause of the re-
Versal of form after the market had
developed an improving tendency. The
traders argued that the course OF the
market for billets always has been
one of the best indications of the
prevailing conditions in the steel
trade in general, and the cut of 81 a
ton was regarded as a matter OF no
small significance.
Prices in railroad and industrial
lists were irregular. Steel common
was X lower, but General Electric

were: Union Pacific, y: Southern Pa
citic, X Reading. Il Northern Pacific
u and American Can, q.
Third Avenue Traction, Missouri Pa
Gifts. Studebakerm Company, and
Westinghouse were fractionally higher.
The Curb was steady.
London reacted on the withdrawal OF
support. Canadian Pacific in London
was uncertain.
Although Liverpool was influenced by
early reports of rains in the southwest
and was lower than had been expected,
the New York cotton market opened
steady. and first prices were 4 points
lower to points higher. Part of the
early buying was due to a private re-
port on crop conditions. After the call
new crops sold up to points above
last night.
Futures and spot In Liverpool were
firm.
The subtreasury gained $4,000 from
the banks on Wednesday, making the

DISTRICT DELEGATE
PLAN GETS IMPETUS
Investigation of Affairs BY
House Committee Gives
Boost to Move.

The angle taken by the District in
vestigation of District affairs now in
progress before the House committee,
has given impetus TO the movement for
a delegate in Congress to represent the
District. TT seems to be a thoroughly
one-sided investigation" said D. A.
Edwards. president of the Federation of
Citizens Associations.
Mr.. Edwards said he did not wish to
express an opinion on the bill intro
duced in Congress, providing for a
District delegate. as that matter will
be taken up at an early meeting of the
federation. but he said ii seemed very
plain that the District would get better
treatment during the progress of the in
vestigation if it had a delegate repre-
senting the District in the committee
and on the floor.
The Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions will be called in session in the
next week or ten days to discHss the
District Investigations, and probably
TO appoint committee to meet with the
officers Of the Board of Trade, Chamber
to take what steps are thought necessary
| In connection with the Congressional
| investigation.
Will Go On Record.
The federation also Will go on record
at this meeting on the District delegate
question. Action taken by the fedora
! ton at its meeting last April is taken
by friends of the District delegate
movement as an indication that the
organization will strongly favor the re-
form. Whether the Poindexter bill will
be favored, or the Federation will con-
tent itself with vigorous Endorsement
of the District delegate scheme in gen.
eral, cannot be forecast, although
favorable action is confidently expected.
Sweeping reforms OF Washington gov
ernmental affairs were favored in reso-
lUtions recommended by committees at
at the meeting last April, but the fed
Grafton withheld action on the recon-
mendations until later. Three plans for
reorganizing District governmental af-
fairs were recommended. One was that
a member of the District commission be
authorized to represent the community
at meetings OF the District Committee
and also have the privilege of the floor
OF the House.
Ask Civil Commissioner.
A second proposition was that one
civilian commissioner be appointed by
people. the latter to be chairman of
the board. A third proposition eIimi-
mated the subcommittee of the Appro-
priauons Committee, in charge of Dis
trict appointments, and provided that
Congress should appropriate sum
equal TO the total tax collected in the
District and turn such sum over to the
District Commission to be used without
the dictation of Congress.
Final action on the recommendations
of this committee was put of until the
regular 1all meeting, and it is not ex-
pected that there will be any extended
consideration of the matter at the com
ing special meeting. Neither will def
mite action be taken on the District
delegate question, further than 10 ap-
point a committee to act with other
civic organizations in taking what
steps are deemed necessary to give the
District a square deal.

POTOMAC BONDS ARE
LEADERS IN MARKET
Consolidated 5 Per Cents Are
Feature of Trading on the
Local Exchange.

While much interest was manifested
in many of the listed securities on the
Washington Stock Exchange, the ses-
sion today bore but little fruit so far
as actual trading was concerned.
Potomac Consolidated per cent
bonds were easily the feature OF the
entire session, and a large block of
them changed hands soon after the
exchange opened.
Other bonds promised for a time to
usurp the position of the Consolidated,
but this was short lived, and after
much bidding and counterbiddlng
they were passed with but few sales
recorded.
From one broker $4,000 in the
per cent Consolidated bonds OF the
Potomac company were distributed
$40. 900 going to one, and the remain
ing to a secopd broker. The ponds
brought 99Ts. sThe closing figures
were 9924 bid and 100 asked.
Washington Gas attracted some at
tention, although holders of this
tentiOn, although holders OF this Stock
did not seem willing to part with II
at the quoted prices. But two snares
changed hands, these bringing SiA.
Sixty-two shares Of Columbia Iltie
Insurance, at Z, constituted the only
other sale of the day.
