NEW HAVEN ROAD
 STOCK HAMMERED DOWN TO 92l-2

New York, Aug. 26-Stocks of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, which have experienced a decline within the past year that has
 made history in Wall street, broke badly again, today. It fell over four
 points to 921z once more establishing a low record price. Subsequently it rallied to 941z.
 The stock in former years sold as high as 279 and its pronounced weak
 ness within recent months foreshad- owed the reduction which was made in the annual dividend rate from to 6 per cent.
 Weakness of the stock today, was due to estimates of the earnings for the last fiscal year, based on such figures as have appeared. These fig ures indicated that the New Haven failed to earn the dividends of 71k having operated at a 6fficit of more than s4,OO0.OO0.
 New York, Aug. 26-A rapid de- cline in New Haven, which met with little support until it had fallen more than four points, was the striking characteristic of the early trading, to- day. The preliminary statement of earnings for 1912, showing deficit of $4,6Oo,oOo led to free selling of the stock, which closed, yesterday, at g B It opened, today, at 95A, new low record. The priceSwas borne down quickly to 92A. At that point, it found a better market and rebounded to 93h. The general marketn open ed irregular, with a downward tend ency. Steel was sold in large amounts and declined a point. Canadian Paci- fc also lost a point and Union Pacific receded fractionally, while small gains were made by Reading and Southern Pacific. The weakness of New Ha- ven affected the whole list. Prices were forced down generally, with a number of one point losses. When New Haven rebounded, trading grew quieter, with some partial recoveries.
 At noon the uncertain aspect of the Mexican situation and the extensive liquidation of New Haven combined to unsett1e the early market today. Pressure for both accounts was gen. eraI, with especial heaviness, aside from New Haven, in Steel, Union Pa cific, Canadian Pacific, Smelting and Lehigh Valley, the latter being sold on the unfaVorable July earnings. With the check to the decline which came with more favoring news from Mexico, short covering became urgent and prices went up with celerity. When this demand was satisfied, activity slackened and prices relapsed frac- t1onally. Shortly before noon an up turn in the scoaIers strengthened the whole list. The market lacked the stimulus afforded by yesterdays bid- ding up of various industriaIs and the upward movement failed to attain striking proportions. Bonds were steady.
 Progress upward was halted in the afternoon by the weakness of New York Central, refecting the passing of the Dividend on the preferred stock of Cleveland c. c. and St. Louis, a controlled road. Big Four common stock, broke five points to 35. a new low figure. The general market way cred slightly but recessions were in consequential. The excited specula- tion in cotton lent more than the usual interest to the weekly weather report which told of unfayorabIe conditions irt large sections of the cotton belt as well as continued lack of rain in vari ous corn states.

London. Aug. 2s-."The difficulty of the mission of John Lind to Mexico was from the beginning that the Amer ican government had nothing to offer ito Provisional President Huerta if he acceded to it's request comments the Westminster Gazette in an article on the Mexican situation, today. The government organ adds:
 ''It is easy to smile at the position in which President woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan find themselves but 1t Is no worse than the position in which the European powers have been landed by the re- fusal of Turkey to respect the treaty of London.''
