Markets Underlying Strength

While banking interests continued to
regard speculative activity on the long
side with disfavor, in their expressions
of market opinion, there were many on
the street who looked on the action OF
the stock market yesterday as indicatin ,
underlying strength and a trading condi
ton that cannot be disturbed by ex-
pressions made in these quarters.
For some time the belief has been
steadily growing that activity and
strength Is to be expected after the
Labor Day holiday interval, which is
expected to be extended by the governors
Of the Stock Exchange tomorrow order
ing the closing of the exchange on Sat
urday, September 4, giving another
triple holiday. This matter did not
come up for consideration at the regular
meeting of the governors last Wednes
day. as they did not care to order the
closing of the exchange ten days in ad
vance, but the understanding is that
they will pursue the usual course and
grant the holiday application at a spe-
cial meeting this week.
Some of those who studied the market
situation generally were confident that
there will be steady accumulation OF
stocks all through the five days of the
current week in anticipation of active
trading after the Labor Day holiday
when the abScn. 'eism that has done Sc
much to restrict trading will be over
and that many of those who have been
away from the city will return to the
street and take an active position on the
long side. THE TRADER.

LADY DECIES BANKRUPT
Experiment Of Conducting Hotel Re-
suits In Financial Failure

London, Aug. 31.-Gertrude Lady
Decies, widow of the fourth Baron
Decies and sister in law of the present
Lady Decies, formerly Vivien Gould,
of New York. has failed as a hotel pro-
prietor. A receiving order under the
bankruptcy act has been filed against
her.
Last year the dowager baroness
turned her beautiful home at Ascot
into the Scotswood Golf Hotel because
she felt that many Of the large country
houses should be utilized to meet the
pressing needs for housing accommoda-
ton. The venture did not prosper.
Lady Decies did wonderful work for
the Red Cross was wounded by shrap-
mel and blown up by shell. She also
took part in the Rumanian retreat,
and had many dreadful experiences in
Russia during the revolutionary regime.
She has always been a keen race
goer, especially in the lifetime of her
late husban :. who died in 1910. Last
year she joined the ranks of lady race
horse owners, and received notable VIC
tories on the turf.

Conditions In the West

An official Of one of the large uptown
banks who returned from months trir
through the West said yesterday that
money conditions west of the Mississippi
river continue fully as firm as noted by
the advices from the different Fedora
Reserve centers some months ago.
while many" he said, "are Of the
opinion that the peak Of the strain has
now been reached, banks are still con
fronted with inquiries for accommoda
tions by concerns to carry them over a
period Of time. Anticipation of the
need for crop moving purposes has been
the important consideration in the
minds Of bankers for several weeks past
and it is believed with the liquidation
that has been resorted to in virtually all
instances where it was deemed advisable
there will be sufficient funds to meet
such requirements.
However, it is recognized that
money is tight, and extreme caution
will continue to be exercised during the
next sixty days. The next income tax
payment on September Is is another
item which must be brought into con
sideration, and many concerns will be
called upon to meet their obligations
whereby some will resort to assistance
from banks for the time being"

GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

While the market community had
number Of irritating factors to contend
with during the greater part Of yester-
days session, 1t was generally con-
ceeded in all quarters that money con
ditions we're the dominating factor.
As a matter Of fact, rightfully, It was
the sole topic Of discussion. Q. A.
Morse, generally regarded reliable
market diagnostician, in q special mes
sage to Chandler Bros. & Co., yester-
day had this to say concerning the
money question.
LET us take a sensible view OF the
bank statements, though we need not
try to argue that low rates for money
are close upon US The money control
has shn lot TO do, It Is doing well.
The only statement worth consideration
is that Of the entire contry's Federal
Reserve, which shows 45.2 per cent
against 1875 per cent last week. Still
comfortable margin over the arbi-
trary 40 per cent and in about the
worst part of the season. Turning to
the position of Federal Reserve Of New
York which comprises about 80 per
cent of the country's Federal Reserve
resources and which shows a loss Of
1 per cent to 1876 per cent In reserve
for the week, there are these points OF
encouragement:
"The clearing house banks have
again surplus Of about $14,-
600, 900 which should cover gov
ernn,ent Withdrawals this week; other
Federal Reserve banks have paid of
their borrowings In New York; French
gold Is expected during the week to help
restore the percentages; there Is no new
weak spot In New York that Is likely
to eat up reserves
Return Toward Normal Conditions
Speaking on the same subject, The
Mechanics and Metal National Bank OF
New York, In Its monthly letter says {:
We are still in the era Of high
prices, high wages, initiation Of cur
| rency and credit, and Of more or less
abnormal conditions generally. A re-
| turn toward normal has been begun, but
| there are many cross currents and ten =
denotes to confuse observers, and 1t is
impossible to tell, from day to day,
how much progress has been made. A
downward tendency in prices continues
to manifest itself, and a shortening OF
both commercial and bank credit is
being impelled In nearly every part OF
the country. But the lack Of invest
ment capital to the proportion required
Is more and more emphasized; thrift
and economy are still more freely
preached than practiced; transportation
conditions are still such that many
goods remain undisturbed and credit
is tied up; European affairs are seri-
ously disturbed by economic handicaps
and Bolshevist aggression.
These are some factors Of the tran =
sition period that are not favorable to
active business. Nevertheless, the feel
ing that an orderly adjustment is under
way and that the situation is not fund
amentally unsound has caused reviva
Of hopeful comment. A policy of pru
dence seems to govern, which is in de
cided contrast to the policy that gov.
erned affairs up to a very little Will,
ago. But the reaction under way i.
orderly, and, basing their opinion or
obvious factors in the situation, bust
ness men are preparing for fall ant
winter of considerable activity.
