 STOCK MARKET

@New York, Aug. 20-Trading at the outset of today's session suggested a continuance of last weeks extreme dullness The usual irregular price changes were registered, Delaware & Hudson falling almost two points. to the new low record of 102B. Other coalers were heavy, notably Lehigh Valley and Reading, which lost one and two points respectively. Ship pings( tobaccos, oils and a few spec ialties were fractionally lower, but steels and equipments became in- creasingly reaactionary with coppers
 Coalers led the active list to lower levels during the first hour. Bedding and most others of that division ex- tended early losses and New York Central, Northern Pacific and Sea- board preferred averaged recessions of a point The trend of industrials, metals and specialties was indicated by United States Steel. which reacted a point from it's best. Substantial rallies set in at noon.

of Finance

loan during the fiscal year. Needless to say the diversion of such vast sums in so short a period from the GUS
 tomary channels of business will pro .foundly affect our industrial system.
 Of course, many lines of industry will
 be intensely stimulated, but others
 must face considerable repression
 through being deprived of their usu-
 al supplies of capital. At present
 there appears to be no lack of money
 for attractive enterprises; though the
 tide of imitation is running strong,
 costs of doing business are rising,
 risks are increasing and much larger
 allowances are required for deprecia-
 tien. In many instances, the .heavy
 profits of the, past year have been
 utilized in operating the business, in
 stead of being paid out in dividends
 and then borrowing for temporary re-
 quirements Much curiosity is evil
 denced in the rate of interest upon
 the next loan. It is rumored that 4
 per cent. will be established, which,
 if practical, will have a decided effect
 upon the bond market. The advanc-
 ing rates of interest have already re-
 suited in lower prices for many high grade issues, not a few of which are
 offered at attractive prices to those WAAo W1SAA IO SCSaA Q SdIc AufSStIn0uLS.
 Many railroad shares are also selling
 at attractive figures to the conserva-
 tive investor The outlook for fall trade would be brilliant, were it not for the many ex- Itraordinary uncertainties above re- ferred to and which induce a very conservative undertone. As just stat- ed, Western and Southern farmers are
 assured of a prosperity greater than ever known, even if the government lsucceeds in putting some restraint up-
 on the advance in prices of grain, meats and produce, which are now selling at such dizzy heights The i'm dustrial sections of the country are in an equally satisfactory condition employment at high wages being plentiful in all districts. There should consequently be brisk home demand
 for all the important necessities of life; also for many of the minor com forts and luxuries. Tie railroads fseem to be getting less out of the prosperity wave than any other in-
 dustry. Their wage and supply. bills have increased enormously; but no adequate compensation has yet been allowed them. as in the case of other industriess Hence net results are poor. The railroads are. still suffer- ing from the political prejudices of a past age. which should no longer ex-
 ist among intelligent people.
