the conductor, then swung aboard the
north-bound train.
The general was all smiles as he
came down the aisle, and bowed low
over Alalre's hand.

to say.
But the mention OF husbands was
not agreeable TO one of Longorio's sem

New Vavcn's Earnings.

In July. 1915, tho New York. New
Haven and Hartford Railroad reported
gross operating revenues of s6,967,344
the largest TO that time for any July In
tho history of the company. For July Of
the current year operating revenue
totalled sT,c9+,5bo but IA spite Of the
expansion. AS compared with the corre
spending month In 1876, operating in
come showed \ large decrease from tho
year before. while net corporate lucome
amounted to only sol2.049, against
SSl1,177 in July OF last year And net
corporate income OF the New Haven and
separately operated companies comnris-
ing the New Haven system presented for
July. 1917. a loss OF more than $S25,cSS.
Operating costs are enormous, IN the
nrst seven months Of 1915 this TEN for
tho New Haven alone totalled sS2,Ss6.-
s46, which was considered about the
limit OF expenses, But in the first seven

sim Tallcing Lower Prices.

Not a few stock market followers. in
many In the so-calied uptown
crowd. continue to talk lower prices for
stocks They are governing their opora-
tons according to their ideas, and not
withstanding the big slump In market
prices in Tuesdays transactions in the
Stock Exchange they did not take ad-
vantage OF the low prices to draw In
heavily their short contracts And II
was not apparent yesterday that the big
shorts were active in settling accounts
except in few Issues, although in the
greater number Of instances they could
have done so at substantial profits The
professional traders assert that in spite
OF the relatively low level at which tho
general list Is selling there is no In
centive to make a change to the long
side Of speculation except for temporary
swings. and that there will be no In
centive TO buy stocks for a sustained up
ward movement for weeks and possibly
months to come They are unwilling to
admit they are OVERRIDING the short side
Of the market. They find in the attitude
Of the big interests no reason for the
expectation that anything in the nature
OF q wide squeeze OF the short interest
is In the making or that efforts TO bring
about stronger market to help along
the next Liberty Loan will meet with
any degree q success, Perhaps the pro-
fessional bear is Just little too sure OF
his position. Perhaps II may not be
wise for the outsider who reads Of the
profits the bears are making to take a
plunge for short account at this par
ticular time. Light waisted shorts in

Japanese Take Foreign
Government Issues.

Although some new low records were
made in the bond market yesterday deal
ers said that the undertone was slightly
stronger aud that some firms were In
clned to take on supplies owing to tho
low prices prevailing.
Dealings continued heavy in the'L'b-
erty Loan. Offerings were liberal early
in tho session owing to sales by persons
who wanted to replenish their margin
accounts In stochs. The absorption by
wealthy investors was declared TO 10
good and found reflection in a recovery
in the Afternoon of all the early decline.
Foreign Govoi4 ont Issues were steady,

Japanese are purchasing literally OF
these securities In preference to import
Ing gold from the United States The
Japanese have large credit balances
here. and In talking securities get the
benefit Of exchange and save interest
and freight on gold shipments Their
aggregate purchases amount to several
millions OF dollars.
The note market also displayed i'm

Of Bethlehem Steel notes, however,

I, developed yesterday that the ir-
creased offerings of high class railroad
shares were not for the account Of GRO
fessional shorts, as generally believed.
but represented liquidation by large es-
tates OF shares purchased years ago at
much higher prices. This selling was
particularly true OF such good issues as
Southern Pacific, the trustees dispoeing
of the stocks on the belief that estates
will be heavily taxed and that the
