fire This MORNING AT
R. R. MILLS & co. STORE
Store Of Robert Il. Mills & Co.,
Broken Into And Robbed Before
Fire This Morning.

The grocery and provision store of
Robert R. Mills d Co, on Choptank
avenue. this city, was broken into
and robbed sometime last night or
early this morning. the fact being
disclosed when it was discovered at
half past three o'clock this morning
that the building was on fire. When
members of Rescue Fire Company
reached the scene it was found that
one of the rear windows had been
pryed open and that a quantity Of
supplies had been taken as we'll as
sum of money from the cash drawer.
While the fire was confined to the
second story of the building the
damage both to the building and
stock of goods was considerable,
much of the woodwork of the store
being burned through while the stock
of goods was badly damaged by
smoke and water.
Mr.. Ivy A. Andrews, who is a
member of the firm, stated that it
was hard to estimate the loss at this
time. Members of Rescue Fire Com
pany rushed quickly to the scene OF
the fire and kept it confined to the
building in which it started, doing
splendid work in preventing the dam
age from being greater than it is, as
on account of the location of the
blaze it was hard to get at.

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.

The stock market. expected to come to
a boil yesterday, merely simmered and
securities made but slight progress either

enthusiasm of those who had purchased
stocks In the morning for a turn. In
dIatrials advanced slightly the average
of twenty representative stocks going up

dillon to the tight money there was the
uncertainty about the size of the Steel
Corporations earnings, to be published
to-day. On the constructive side 1t can
be said that stocks. except a few spe-
cialties, were not pressed for sale, and
that the short interest. reported to be
very heavy. is becoming crowded again.
Despite the fact that almost everybody
connected in any way with the market
anticipates an election rally the day
draws closer and an election rally does
not come. Most of the floor members of

floor are frankly and avowedly bearish

Cum GranO Sails.

Traders took with a large grain of salt
yesterday two reports about the United
States Steel Corporations affairs which
were conversational currency about
brokerage houses. One Of them is that
an extra dividend of 10 per cent. In cash
or Liberty bonds will be ordered paid by
the directors in their meeting to-day. The
other Is that the corporations officials
practically have decided to raise the
price Of steel rails and will announce the
advance this week. Both reports, of
course. are within the range of possibili-
ties, but neither one. II Wall Streets in
terpretatlons of Judge Gary's speech is
correct is probable. The forecast of to-
days meeting most likely to prove cor
rect Is that the directors will assemble,
pass the regular dividend, announce the
earnings for the quarter. expected to be
in the neighborhood of s50,000,000 and
speedily adjourn.

Moving the Freight.

The manner in which railroads
everywhere are keeping their cars on the
move and the increase of efficiency of
railroad workers are reasons why in
vestors of every class exhibit a more
kindly feeling toward the rail stocks
than they have since the roads were
taken under the Governments wing.
Figures on the increased traffic continue
to pour In and make an interesting ex-
hibit, almost as interesting as will be

A Period of Tight Money.

? Heavy calling of loans as a result of
the deficit shown on Saturday by Clear
ing House banks and preparations for
the withdrawal of Treasury deposits OF
S2S.S00, 600 to-day had the effect of tight
ening the money rate yesterday, and in
the late afternoon 1t advanced to 10 per
cent. in contrast to the opening and re-
newal rate of s per cent. 1t was
reported yesterday that additional
Withdrawals will be made by the
Government on Thursday. but that the
amount has not been determined. Brok-
erage houses, although business is ex-
tremely dull, were skirmishing around
yesterday for new money to take the
place of some on which the loan had
been called At 2:15 o'clock some $751;
100000 was wanted by the brokerage
fraternity, and some lively bidding for
the available supply was a factor in the
gyrations of the rate.

American Hide and Leather.

Some time ago when American Hide
and Leather was under pressure II was
predicted freely that its dividend would
be passed when the directors meet in
their fall session. That meeting will be
held to-day and II is reported about the

bursement will be declared on it's stock
Unsettled conditions in the leather mar
ket and the summer transportation tieup
seriously interfered with the company's
earnings in the quarter ended on June
30. which is the final one for it's fiscal
year. A net deficit of $S10,697 was re-
ported by the company in that period.
It is considered probably that the fig
ures to be reported to-day will show some
Improvement over the last quarter state
ment. The stock was steady yesterday
on reports that the company's directors
will agree to maintain the dividend.
