FOR IMPROVEMENT
OF MERIDIAN PARK
Col. Cosby Believes There VIII b
Little Delay in Work When
Plan, Are Completed.

Plans are rapidly being completed for
the Improvement Of Meridian Park. a
ten-acre tract, lying between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth Streets and Euclid Street
and Florida Avenue Northwest. This
land was purchased with an appropri-
alton of $40. 900 and has been fully clear
ed for Improvement. Col. Cosby, the en-
gineer officer in charge Of public build
ings and grounds. declares there is no
appropriation available for the imme-
date prosecution of the work, but that
he believes there will be little delay when
the plans have been completed.
Col. Cosby is planning also to beauty
the peninsula part Of Potomac Park, ly-
ing east of the Pennsylvania Railroad
embankment. This is a milf and q half
long and about two-fffths of q mile
across in its widest part. The work of
constructing a boulevard around the
water edge of the peninsula has been be-
gun. 1t will be three miles long and will
have a dirt path for eQuestrians, and side
walks. It will run just inside the sea-
wall surrounding the peninsula.
Part of Col. Cosby's plan Is to turn
the peninsula into a model playground.
with golf links, baseball grounds. tennis
courts. and provisions for other games.
He also wants to erect q big stadium
there. where athletic contests and games
like the annual Army and Navy football
game could be held. Col. Cosby IL pre-
pairing a drawing showing what he hopes
to do on this tract.

New York. July n-R q. Dun's to-
morrow will say:
while business generally reflects the
quietness usual at this period. com
mercial tendencies are mainly In the d.
rection of Improvement and confidence
in the future has strengthened. Financial
sentiment was affected somewhat by the
failures in the Pittsburgh district, the
threatened railway strike. yet security
values were well maintained IN view OF
these developments. A new low record
price, however. was reached on Oniteo
States bonds and also on British con-
soils. the markets abroad being depressed
early by fears of complications In the
Balkan situation.
Included among the important events
of the week was the government gram
report, which while showing large de-
terioration in spring wheat revealed
splendid promise for winter wheat ana
-~srn. thus indicating another prosperous
yesr for the agricultural community as
whole.
Consumption Of dry goods is sustained
and there is no accumulation Of stocks,
but new business is limited to well-de-
fined needs
I'm the iron and steel industry two
features stand out prominently. namely.
the fact that curtailment of pig iron out
put during June was less than antfci-
pated and that the opinion is general
that the current lulI in demand will be
followed by a revival Of activity in the
fall As expected. the regular monthly
statement of the leading interest dis
closed another substantial reduction in
untitled tonnage, yet the volume Of or
ders remaining on hand is still above the
average.
