Pressed Steel Car Resumes.

Pressed Steel Car common, by the
action of the directors yesterday, gets
back into the dividend column. after
the lapse of about a year and a half.
Up to yesterdays 81 distribution the
previous dividend paid had been 10
cents in December, 1914. whether
the company will continue at the
present rate, and thus put the COM
mon stock on a 81 year basis, has
not been announced. Since 1900 the
company's dividend record has been
somewhat irregular. From per cent
in 1900 the rate dropped to per cent
in 1901, which was continued until
1903, when per cent was distrib-
uted. Again in 1904 a cut was au.
thorized, this time to per cent, and
in the period Of 1905 to 1918 no divi-
dends at all were paid. In 1914 per
cent was distributed. Resumption of
dividends yesterday came as sur
prise in the Street, as it had been re-
ported earlier in the season that the
company was having some difficulty In
handling its regular equipment bust
ness owing to the higher cost of ma
terials and wages. For example,
wages for skilled workmen had ad-
vanced from 10 TO Is per cent, due to
the competition of the munitions com
panies. The company has been doing
some war business, besides taking on
an order from Russia for 1000 cars.

HIS RACE FOR LINER
AIDED BY TUG CAPTAIN
British Official Almost Loses
Baltic Getting Photographed.

f. J. Breeze, an official of the Brit
ish government, who has been In TINS
country since the outbreak of the war,
returned to England yesterday on the
Baltic. He presented himself at the
gangway FIVE minutes before noon, the
scheduled sailing time, but was In
formed that he could not go aboard
as he had no Identification photograph
on his passport. The ships officers IN
formed him that he would have an hour
to comply with the regulations.
Heavy traffic and crippled taxicao,
together with incidental delays at the
British consulate, caused him TO return
to the dock in time to see the Baltic
heading into midstream. An accommo-
dating tug captain, however, took pity
on him and solved the difficulty by
ferrying him out-for slight consid-
eratiop.
The Baltic sailed with her largest
cargo of war munitions since the be-
ginning Of the war-l8,5O0 tons, in
cluding deckload of twenty motor
truck chasses and ten large battle
planes.
Among the ninety-eight passenger:
were Miss E. NJ. Binney, niece of Field
Marshal Sir John French, who is re-
turning to England to continue her
work in the military hospitals, and
Pierre Lorillard. the tobacco king,
who sailed to visit his sister in War
wickshire.

TOO Many Bears" Spoil
the Scheduled Party
of the Bulls.
MARKET "ACTS BADLY"
ON THE STEEL NEWS
Heel Common Goes Up and Then
Dovn-Other Good News Fails
to Affect Prices.

TOO many bears" This laconic ut
,.rxnce came from a broker of twenty
y,srs' experience in Wall Street, IN
rply 10 the much repeated inquiry
,,,,erdav as TO why the market had
hged 10 advance on the brilliant
glowing Of the Steel Corporation IN
n, last quarter. Pressed further,
his man said he couldn't tell why
.ssrs we're so plentiful, but thought
,Aey must have been an outgrowth oil
he extraordinary conditions prevail
NJ in the security markets for year
,sst The success Of few, he be-
l,ved. had converted many others to
hsir ranks. Yesterday the action OF
he market unquestionably caused
-sny traders to take the short side
sho would have preferred 10 nave
tigned themselves on the bull side.
Bat they argued that there was no
Sc struggling against the current;
.at If prices wouldn't 90 UP. they
,,ght 10 90 down. Steeis action was
,suliarly disappointing. After clos
M two consecutive days at Sc the
-s,otony was varied by a closing of

srase Of the markets premier stock
10 the finest quarterly earnings ever
rubhshed. And, naturally. when Steel
refused 20 20 up, the rest Of the mar
kst baked. About the only redeemlng
feature Of the whole market, the
traders thought. was the fact that
prices did not 90 down very far.

Some Past Performances.

When Steel common failed to get
into action yesterday the Street re-
called 10 mind other similar instances
Of lethargy on the part Of the specu-
ls,ive favorite following dissemina-
ton Of good news. In January, after
the resumption Of the common stock
dividends, Steel and the rest OF the
market sold of. Again in April the
market developed weakness, with
Steel as the leader. after publication
Of the excellent first quarter state
ment All in all Steel's action in re-
cent months must have tried sorely
even the most patient spectators.
Yesterday the realization that by
early fall the corporation would have
;ssh reserves of close TO S200.000,0 600
aused scarcely a ripple. There were
hose who insisted yesterday. as they
lave for some time past, that Wall
Streets stock market, by its failure
. respond to good news, is rejecting
1 feeling of uncertainty among specu-
Ators and investors which is not dis
pciated with peace talk and the pos
hbility Of an early cessation Of hos
tlities.

Washington, July 26.-Apportion-
ment among the states of the first

ried by the new good roads act was
announced to-day by the Department

tary Houston deducted per cent, or

ministration. Then the S.,S50,000

COTTON DECLINES
ON CROP REPORT
Expected Sensational News OF
Damage Fails to Ma
terialiZe.

The weekly government weather and
crop bulletin, which had been counted
on to fully substantiate bull claims of
extensive damage in the Eastern belt,
failed to contain any sensational fea-
lures and led TO considerable selling,
under which prices in the early after
noon sold off about dozen points from
the morning high levels.
The report said that the frequent and
continued rains had been generally un-
favorable for cotton over much Of the
district from the lower Mississippi
Valley eastward to South Carolina,
especially in lowlands, while there was
complaint Of shedding in parts of South
| Carolina, Georgia, Western Florida
Alabama and Mississippi and rust was
reported in Mississippi. Fields were
reported grassy in much Of the Central
! and Eastern sections.
! In North Carolina, where private re-
/ ports have indicated extensive injury
/ it said the crop was generally promls-
: ing. In Texas rain is badly needed ex-
cept in the southeastern third of the
+ state. but cotton is doing well and
+ complaints of boil weevil are less
numerous.
1t was contended that as the report
] offered nothing new from what has
been in circulation here for a week OF
more, and was much milder in tone
! than many of the private reports, il
| justified no further support of the
market. After selling off 70 1911, how
ever, October rallied few points and
the market In the early afternoon was
rather quiet.
The absence of any Southern hedge
pressure partly made up for the fact
that the South has not backed up its
/ damage reports with buying orders, but
throughout the day the market lacked
support from outside sources and IN
| the late afternoon sustained the most
violent setback of the day, the close
! being barely steady at Z TO 8 points
net decline. Sentiment seemed to take
| the position that the market having
failed to get the expected help from
| the weekly crop report would respond
easily to the first sign of clearing
weather in the East, especially II the
rains, which, according to late private
advices, have appeared at number OF
points in Texas should be followed oy
general precipitation over that state.
Southern spot markets, as officially
| reported, were II points higher TO 10
lower, but generally unchanged. Ex-
ports to-day were ll,774 bales, making
| 1898, ,199 for the season against $685.

BRAZILIANS BUILDING
OWN MERCHANT FLEET
Ships May Make Nation Com
mercially Independent.

Brazilian shipbuilders are con-
structing a feet of merchantmen that
will make their country commercially
independent, Oscar Correia, Brazilian
Vice Consul, said yesterday.
Almost a dozen ships, of from 5000
to 10000 tons each, are nearing COM
pletion, he said. Brazilian workmen
were completing for the Compania Ma
cional de Navagacas Costeria freight
er of 10000 tons, said Mr.. Correia,
construction of which was begun in
England. but was interrupted by the
war. The materials were sent to Rio
de Janeiro and native shipw-ights set
to work. Half a dozen more will be
constructed for the same company.
Another company actively engaged
in recruiting its feet was that of
Francisco dos Santos Caneco, said Mr..
Correia. The keel of one vessel was
laid less than a month ago, and others
are to follow. The Lloyd Brszileiro
and other lines were following suit,
the Vice-Consul declared.

Supply VS.. Demand.

Resumption of the Pressed Steel
Car dividends yesterday aroused in
terest in speculative circles regarding
the position Of some of the other rail
way equipment concerns. If reports
are TO be credited, there is heavy
business ahead for these companies.
II has been estimated by conservative
men in the ar-manufacturing field
that from $4,000 to 100000 cars are
necessary TO provide American rail
roads with equipment to handle good
fall and winter business. Moreover,
it is pointed out that at least 100000
cars are needed TO replace units that
have gone on the scrap heap or have
been otherwise disposed Of. With
these figures in mind. it will be in
teresting TO see how the situation
works out when il is remembered that
the annual capacity of the car build
ers in this country has been recently
estimated at no more than 100000
cars.

What excitement there was in the
market yesterday came at the opening
and passed quickly. For a few mo-
nsnts heavy selling of Steel common
was in progress. II seemed that al
most every broker around the Steel
post had his hands full Of market
orders. But enough buying came in
from the shorts to absorb part of
these offerings, and then Steel sagged
oS and the market turned dull Fiji
teen thousand shares of Steel sold at
ne opening at S67s TO S6% and 100
shares at 81. Whoever got the stock
az 81 held the distinction Of being
the only person yesterday 70 pay that
priee for Steel, for il never went that
high again during the day. and
cropped back 10 s57s for a time.
