New York Market "BuIII.h.'

The following analysis OF the New York
market situation was received yesterday
by w. B. Hibbs & Co. from Logan G.
Bryan, their New York correspondents:
The over holiday Developments espe-
cially in so far as the same pertained to
the strike situation, were construed at
first blush bullishly by the street, which
was reflected by a substantial, higher
range Of prices during the first hour.
Shorts retreated rapidly, but after buy
ing of that nature subsidized the list be-
came irregular and backed and filled, I'M
til the last hour. when an aggressive
buying movement in Steel and Inspiration
impaired to the remainder OF the roster
an appearance of decided strength
The opinion is cerrent that the Mexi-
can delegates have foremost in their
minds the contamination Of a loan for the
southern republic of a sort that will place
that country on firm basis financially.
The buying of Mexican Petroleum and
also Of the shares of corporations having
interests in the South was a result there
Of
On upturns the supply Of rails becomes
rather free. and also Of many of the in
dustrials, but there is a strong element
here, deeply convinced that United States
Steel Is still relatively behind the market.
and strong efforts will probably be put
forth to establish a higher level for the
same, which undoubtedly will be reflected
by some betterment in other parts of the
industrial list, particularly in special
ties"

Gas Dividends Establish Record.

The Washington Gas Light Company
during the six months ended with July
earned net Of $416. 900, after deducting
taxes and fixed charges-the largest net
in the history of the company for a six
months period.
At this rate the net earnings for the
year 1915, would be $SS2, 900 The payment
of the $3.50 quarterly dividends on each
share of the capital stock would require
only 1924, 900.
During the six months 100 new Gus
toners were obtained, and there was a
big increase in the sales of gas stoves
and appliances.
The cut in the price of gas ordered by
Congress will become effective October !.
and will decrease to a considerable ex-
tent the net earnings, but President Rec
side has announced it is extremely I'M
likely that any decrease in dividends will
follow.
