STUDIED
IN BALTIMORE

A committee to study finan-
cial conditions of Baltimore. with
particular reference to the city
budget for 1882, new public i'm
provement loans the city would
be justified in floating at this
time and the necessity Of carry
ing out the proposed Howard
Street extension project has been
appointed by Mayor Jackson.
The mayor stated that reports
by the commission on government
tai efficiency and economy show
the city nearing the generally &C.
cepted debt limit of z per cent of
assessable basis. He pointed out
that the decrease in real estate
values, affecting the taxable ba-
sis, had made the problems Of
handling loans more difficult
than expected.
The committee is to consider
the adviSability Of the proposed
loans of $10,OOO,00O for school
buildings, $4,000, 900 for paving
and bridges, $4,000, 900 for sewers
and $1,5OO,00O for the extension

! POINT Or TWO
RECORDED
iTickers Idle After Session
Gets Under Way, and Few
! Issues Are Sold Actively
Nv w. 8, COUSINS

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 dN.SJ.
General activity on the stock ex-
change dwindled close to the
vanishing point today as the
volume of trading UP to the noon
period shrunk to 100000 shares,
or at the rate Of 100000 shares
for the full session.
The same contraction was in
evidence in the number Of active
stocks appearing on the tape,
the tickers having little or moth
ing to do after the first hour.
Average Almost Static
The last two weeks in August
Is generally regarded as the dull
est period of the year in the
stock market and this years
records easily substantiate that
fact. Extended week-ends Of
many Of the we'll known traders
has the effect OF cutting down
the volume of floor trading,
where the bulk of the present
business Of the stock exchange
originates.
The Dow Jones noon averages
Of so representative stocks showed
q change Of only 15-1O0 Of a
point, with the 2 rail stocks un-
changed.
The oils, which have been the
outstanding bull leaders Of the
past few days, fell off a point or
so from Thursdays final prices
as the result of profit-taking. New
merger rumors and stiffening Of
oil prices failed completely to en-.
tice new outside buying orders to
the oil group.
Bonds Of. Again
Once again the drop in rail-
road bondc was without special
effect on the rail stocks, which
held their ground on the brighter
prospect Of an increase in freight
rates.
Department store competition
in the cigarette trade was cited
as the reason for the softening
of the tobacco stocks, in which
losses Of a point or two we're is-
corded. American Tobacco B sold
today at 115A against yesterdays
bSet price of 1870.

MARKET SHIFTS
IN AVERAGES
NARROW
Change for Day Of 80 Stocks
Only TWO-Tenths Of Point,
With Utility Group in Lead
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK. Aug. 21.-Inac-
tivity and indecision are the
principal characteristics Of the
current market with almost per-
feet balance between bullish and
beariSh forces, stocks in the last
few days have drifted through
q Comparatively narrow price
range, nothing could more force
fully emphasize this than the
movement Of yesterdays averages.
The so stocks in the Standard
Statistics Company'S industrial
group showed a decline Of just
two-tenths of a point: the 20
rails q gain of three-tenthS Of Q
point and the 20 utilities lilo
points. The net change for the
80 stocks was only two-tenthS OF
a point.
Closing Margins Small
Between Mondays close and
Thursdays close the same list
rose only nine-tenths Of a point,
this being also the widest fluctu.
alton in prices as a whole.
In spite of the dullness and
lack of speculative interests,
there is no dearth of recommen.
dations for stock purchases In
the leading brokerage houses. In
veStors who lean to specific
groups, such as the oils, copperS,
steelS and motors can always
find encouragement for their
hopes in one or another Of the
big brokerage firms in the ii.
nancial district.
It is not apparent which will
be the winners in the next bull
market, and, if history repeats
Itself, within the next year or two
many dark horses will forge to
the front.
The second-quarter earnings
statements Of the industrial and
utility companies now coming to
hand make favorable comparisons
with the first quarter of 1881, but
with the correspond.
ing period of last year.
Utilities Faring Well
Utility companies furnishing
current and gas light to
homes have had a COM
paratively small shrinkage in
gross income and in some cases
have shown a slight increase.
Encouraging reports have also
been submitted by a few Of the
well known manufacturing con.
Germs.
