JERSEY CITY WILL CLASH
 WITH RIBBONS THIS EVENING

Last week Danbury was toppled out of it's first position for a day by losing a close extra period contest to the Ribbons, but as Stamford gave Bridgeport a setback on Saturday night, tho Danburians are back ill their position as pace1nakers
 Jersey City and Paterson, while un- successful in their home games, were victorious OH the road, and managed to keep their standing without any difference over the previous week.
 Mic BOggio, the former star of Gloversville. N. Y., and Reading, Pa., made his first appearance in an In- terstate league uniform, when he played with the Ribbons on Saturday night.
 Ward Brennan, the former chief umpire of the Interstate, has returned from month spent officiating in the Pennsylvania State league, and will take his usual turn in the net with the other whistle tooters now under contract.
 New York city made a change in it's hall yesterday and although de- feated by Paterson in the openins game, the work of the tai1enders was considerable improvement over that shown in the games played at Web ster hall. Manhattan Casino is the location of the new court and it pro- vides one of the best floors in the league, with more than a regulation area.

REALTY MARKET
SHOWS STRENGTH
Business Much Better Than
That of Corresponding
Week Last Year.

Real estate business, instead of slack
ening, took a jump last week. In fact,
real estate dealers and brokers claim
that It was one Of the record weeks OF
the summer.
Altogether 1876 transactions were re-
corded. This business involved 2i9 lots
and parcels of realty. This makes an IN
crease Of twenty deals over the previous
week. and, compared with the cores
ponding week of last year. this week Is
by far better record maker.
The bulk of the business took mostly
lots and tracts near the old city limits.
But even then, many outside lots were
sold.
Last Saturdays half-holiday is the
record breaker. Thirty-two sales were
reported for the day. Wednesday fol-
lowed close with a record OF twenty-five
deals. Tuesday comes third with twen-
ty-fve. and Monday and Friday were
tied with twenty sales each.
The biggest financial transaction was
the issue of bonds aggregating $4,000
This business was performed by the
Missionaries of the Divine Love of Je-
sus, and the proceeds of the deal are to
be used in the construction of a noviti-
ate for the education of young men for
the clergy. George L. Breuninger. OF
George Field, also purchased tract OF
fifty lots on Georgia avenue, between
Newton and Princeton streets.
Activity in the loan market did not
share the good fortune of the selling
market last week. The total loans of the
third week OF the month were sSz9, ,s62 S.
This sum was borrowed on the security
Of 213 lots. at an average interest rate OF
So per cent. Straight loans were totalec
in the market at S1S1,996.94. And the sum
given for deferred purchase money on
notes was sl24,265.92.

New York. Aug. 1s.-At the close OF a

surplus reserves, with an actual reduc-
ton Of 1855. 900 in loans. The demand
deposits at the close Of business Friday
night were s1s.+47.0Oo greater than on the
previous Friday evening. The average
statement showed reserves increased

This statement shows that bank bal

more by large operations OF a general
character than by business in the stock
market It confirms the theory that the
public Is not present in large numbers in
Wall Street II shows that operators
have not extended their commitments but
have worked the market to gradually
higher levels without accommodating stocks.
So far as the bank statement can throw
any light on the stock market, the one
Of today shows It to be in a strong posi-
ton.
Action Of the market itself demonstrates
its strength, for while there was consid-
cradle profit-taking for the account OF
persons who are taking the railroad
strike negotiations too seriously. The
market as a whole was strong. In few
days there were material gains. notably
in Pacific Mail, American Agricultural

railroads by the arbitrary action of any
one man. So definite is the Presidents

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. Aug .s.-Ths cotton market was
nervous and irregular today, with trade fairly
tive. At the start the tendency was downward
because OF rains in Southern Texas and a posi-
bility Of more owing 10 the tropical storm. which
appeared TO have moved into Northern MEXICO, in
stead Of toward Central Texss
Near months. which have for some days been
in relatively strong demand, continued to move
up the distant positions, October working to
within Il points OF January compared with IS
points at the close Of Fridays trade. There
was realizing by commission houses and selling
from Wall Street houses. The market was finally
steady at net advance Of points to decline
Of 5 points.
Port receipts for the day were estimated at 500
bales. against s,O5t bales last week and 4# bales
last year. The Chronicle estimates the world 5
visible supply at 2S55 7Oj bales compared with
so bales a year ago. The American supply
IS placed at l9s,7o3 bales contrasted with 2S 500
bales IN 1875. Spot cotton at New York was
quiet and points higher at l445 cents; there were
sales. The spot article at New Orleans was
steady and unchanged at l4I3 cents

Bank C1earfngs Gain.

Measured by the volume of payments
through clearing houses, the country's in
dustries and general financial transac-
tions are making what may be called
intensified progress toward greater eX-
pansion. The current figures of bank
clearings are of especial significance for
the reason that they compare with a
period a year ago when marked improve
ment was developing in all lines. the
gain last week, for instance, showing an
increase OF % per cent over the cores
ponding week in 1915, and over 100 per
cent over the same period in 1914. OF
course, the comparison with 1914 is dis
torted by the closing that year of the
exchanges and the general disturbance
to business incident to the outbreak of
the war. Improvement in the clearings
is confined to no one section of the coun-
try.

Steel Due for Rise.

The following stock opinions were re-
ceived yesterday by W. B. Hibbs & Co.
from financiers of prominence:
George Walker: $50 far as can be
learned, the ammunition manufacturers
are using more copper metal now than
they have at any previous time"
John Moody: TT now seems likely that
stocks like American Steel Foundries, Re-
public Iron and Steel, r. r. Steel Spring,
may soon return to the better prices OF
last winter, and possibly rise above these
prices
Thompson Shonnard & Co.: I'VE expect
TO see the stock market develop increas-
ing strength and selected stocks selling al
materially higher prices. We are in q

The question to be determined is
whether the road shall be widened 120
