STRONG MONEY Market
. CHECKS STOCK TRADING

NEW YORK. August 22.-It has be-
come rather difficult to maintain a
firm front on the stock market de-
spite the excellent character Of the
war news and the great industrial
activity, even the prospect of an
equfta6lc settlement Of the railroad
government contract not being pow
erful enough, in view of the money
strineency. 1t - not known in other
places a. here.
II II feported that with today's
draft Of 35o,000.0o0 the government
York for time at least. Since last
Friday the Withdrawals have been
at the rate Of $50.000.0 .000.s a. day. and
1t has caused the calling OF many
loans.
Indeed. there has been some inquiry
essential" although nearly every one
will admit that a market for invest
ments is extremely essential.
The federal reserve bapk again no.
titled banks this morning to be care
full of credits and to put the brakes
on wherever possible.
In some quarters a bull market at
this time Is considered out of the
question. and not half as desirable as
III the last half Of August. when 1t
loan.
In view of this condition, no one
expects the rate for call money to be
any easier. at least lower than 8
per cent foy mixed collateral. until
after the marketing Of the fourth
loan.
Liberty bonds were attracting much
more attention. especially the 3hs. on
which much higher prices are pre-
dicted Indeed, the advance this
easy. but it brought out a block Of
bonds and increased the selling to such
an extent that reaction resulted.
War News Favorable Factor.
War news was again favorable
factor. but while adverse war news
might exert an unfavorable influence.
good news is of small direct effect.

cialties.
Fertilizers rose a point and Union

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK. August 2e..After
opening steady at decline of 9 to Is
points under overnight selling or
ders, the cotton market became very
active and excited right after the
call Continued buying by Liverpool
absorbed the initial offerings. while
shorts were also alarmed by the con-
tinued drought in the southwest. and
inside Of ten minutes October con-
tracts sold up from 31.T0 to 32.42 and
January from 31.00 to 31.65. or so to 81
points net higher. Stop orders were
uncovered on this advance. with all
street houses among the heavier buy
ers. but the more urgent demand was
soon supplied and the volume of BUSH
ness tapered Off with prices showing
reactions of 10 or 1e points before the
end of the first hour. The opening
here was lower than due on the ca
bles, which may have explained the
increased demand from brokers with
Liverpool connections.
Futures opened steady; October,

Private reports of rains or showers in
Texas gave the market an easier tone
late in the morning. with October con-
tracts selling Off to 32.o7 and January to
31.3s. or 2o to As points from the high
level of the morning. Trading was
comparatively quiet, with the selling
attributed chiefly to scattering IL

WON'T ACCEPT 500
YEAR SALARY RAISE

That City Councils refusal to comply
with the request Of the Police Com
mission that a "a per cent. wage in
crease be allowed the members OF the
department. has had a demorslizing ef-
feet on the department Is apparent 10
those having any business with the de-
partment and judging from the rate
that designations, from the force are
being received By the Commissioners,
il may be only a few weeks before the
local police force may be a corporals
guard. Some surprise was created to-
day when Sergeant George 7. Lyons
who has been a member Of the depart
ment Cor the past twenty-siX years sent
mis- resignation.
This Is the second resignation TO be
received since Saturday morning, Ser
geant Thomas J. Bayley having filed his
resignation on that day, the same 10
take effect on June i6. 10 was also re-
ported this morning that Patrolman
John Mclaughlin, another Vetersn IN
the ranks, had decided TO resign from
the force. The men say the siOo year
raise granted them is not satisfactory.
That several Of the seventeen men
eligible 10 retirement had refrained
from doing so before has been known
for some time, the men waited until
Council could take action on the re-
quest for increased wages. II was
stated by some Of the officers that II
Council did not allow them a substan-
tial increase In salary tney would seek
new positions and todly being a long
DAY of duty for one-half Of the de-
partment. a number Of officers were
devoting the day seeking employment
elsewhere.
There are now seventeen vacancies in
the department and A like number OF
officers eligible for retirement, many
Of whom are planning to leave the de-
partment within the next month. Be
cause Of these facts vacations in the
department this year may be a novelty
With all the men on duty it Is impos-
sible to police the districts Of the city
properly and ft is thought that with a
like number Of designations 10 would be
impossible for any officer TO have a
vacation this year.
Another matter that is causing much
concern TO the men is the likelihood
or the Police Pension Fund being
depleted by the additional retirements
that it may have to suspend payments
10 those now on the list The fund has
for years received several thousand
dollars annually from the proceeds OF
the police sports, but it is possible that
the sports will be called of this year
the department being handicapped at
the present time by a lack Of men TO
handle the police business OF the city
and the sports too.
