TRADERS MARKET
Professional Operators Do
Not Expect Definite Trend
in Near Future.
DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 19. - After
the severe break which coincided with
and followed the Maine election, pro-
feSsional operators are extremely eau
tious about predicting the immediate
future of stocks, to say nothing Of
taking a position. AS nearly as it can
be summarized opinion at the end Of
the week was that the market was in
a trading range" with no decided
trend for the present at least.
A radical change has taken place in
the composition of speculative accounts
this week On the break there was
hurried unloading-not all of it volun-
tary, either-of stocks accumulated on
the Summer advance. More margin
calls went out this week than at any
time this year and not all of them were
answered with cash
In the back of the minds Of the
traders was the experience on the abor-
tive rallies of 1880 and 1881. Realizing
that the recoveries in those years were
founded on hopes of business i'm
provement that failed to materialize,
they were in no mood TO take chances
this time. If the market reacted they
preferred to stand aside and let 1t prove
itself.
On the other side, the larger opera
tors for the decline thought they sar
an opportunity for a profitable turn Or
the short side. AS every one knew. pools
had been organized in all sorts of du-
biouS stocks and had not been able 10
distribute the acquired shares, so that
they were in a vulnerable situation.
Against these stocks the emboldened
bears directed their efforts. The net
result was to cut down weak long &C
counts and increase the short position.

Weakness in Steel Issues

NEW YORK, September 19.-Weak-
ness In the steel stocks, at all times
an unsettling influence, finally dragged
the whole stock market down to
moderately lower levels today.
Trading was slow. aside from the
steelS there were no large declines. and
the days operations were indecisive as
far as establishing a trend was con-
cerned
Among the stocks that Welded in the
late trading were U. S. Steel preferred
on at one time points; American Can
on nearly points; with fractional
losses in Allied Chemical. American
Telephone and nearly all the rails.
The list was unsettled at the opening
by a break in United States Steel prr-
ferred. That stock had closed on Sat
urday at rs, off over II points en- the
week. 1t started in today down over
points more and during the first hour
sold under s69 share. Steel common.

a general way, but had been discounted
in good part in the speculative buying

Railroad Stocks.
NEW YORK. September 19

NEW YORK. September 19 (SpeciaD :
The popularity of railroad stocks has
apparently not been affected by the re-
cent decline in the market. Most OF
the rallies start in this group. The
feeling is that they were the most thor
oughly liquidated of all shares, and at
their lows they were selling more out
of line with real values and prospects
for appreciation in the next year than
either the industrials of the public util-
tiles. The present factors operating In
their favor are the speech of Gov.
Roosevelt tonight, which is expected to
indicate friendly attitude toward the
carriers; the progress being made in the
Eastern railroad consolidation, and es-
Inmates which suggest that the car
loadings in the last quarter of the year
will make the most favorable showing
with the like period in 1881 so far pre-
sented The deXnands for rails runs
largely to the loNtpriced issues.

EGG FUTURES SOAR
TO new HIGH MARK
Reduction in Storage Supply May
Mean Still Higher
Prices.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September 19 Bullish
statistics have sent the egg futures mar
ket soaring to new highs, and pros
poets point to developments which soon
may permit egg traders to recoup part
of huge losses incurred during the last
three years.
With the smallest volume of eggs in
storage since 1916. traders at the Chi
cago Mercantile Exchange foresee the
possibility of a decided shortage this
Winter, with a resultant skyrocketing
of prices.
Barring an unexpected rise in egg
production or a drop in Withdrawals
from storage. refrigeration eggs may be
exhausted before the end of the Winter
Eggs in Storage.
There were approximately 5,s55,O0O
cases OF eggs in storage September /,
100000 fewer than year ago. Out
ward movement from storage so far
this month has been as heavy. and at
times heavier, than in September CT
1881.
Should this storage movement cCn-
tinue at just average pace. traders point
out that December may see only
about 100000 cases in storage-a supply
far from sufficient to satisfy demand
Last December l there were 100000
cases in sorage.
In single day this week egg futures
advanced from SIS to SlO5 per car in
value in record breaking trading. Thel .
has been considerable hedging with
every recent advance. however. for
traders have been eager to grasp every
chance to recoup past losses.
Eggs for November delivery have
reached the level of 81 cents for the
first time in year. and just two DAYS
ago sales broke through to total of
585 cars. or 4620O00 dozen eggs for
the heaviest volume of trading on TIE
Chicago exchange since October of 1890.
Butter Market.
Sentiment in the butter market, in
contrast, has inclined recently to be
bearish, principally because production
is running slightly ahead of last year
and outward movement from storage
has been lower than in 1881.
StatiStically. however, the butter
market IS considered in a good position.
with storage supplies appreciably lower
than usual. There were approximately
107,000,000 pounds in storage Sep
tember l. or 100000 pounds less than
the flve-year average for that date.
Most traders feel the markets trend
during the next few weeks will depend
largely on resumption of general buying
power.

That the short interest has increased

BORDER STATES
SURRENDERED
BY c. D. P.
By COLE E. MORGAN

The reason the Republican Ma
tional Committee has closed its
purse strinks to local campaign
committees in the border States
was explained today. 1t is prac-
tically certain that these States
are going Democratic this year.
Latest returns in the nation
wide presidential roll of The
Washington Times and other
Hearst papers give Governor
Roosevelt overwhelming MAORI
ties in the border States. He has
received two out of three of the
ballots records. This showing has
been continuous from the outset.
Four years ago the Middle At
lantic and Central South border
States-Delaware. Virginia, West
Virginia. Kentucky, Tennessee and
North Carolina-gave President
Hoover 68 electoral votes.
Through congressional re-appor-
tionment they lost three votes
this year. The IS left appear
safely in Roosevelt's column, ex.
cept possibly the three of Della
ware where Hoover has been
showing gains the last two weeks.
The Republican national organ
ization in 1923 placed liberal
funds at the disposal of the State
organization in each of these
States.
According to a reliable report
reaching Washington from Ken
lucky the State organization
there recently applied to national
headquarters for assistance. The
answer was the State committee
could have $4,000 to spend this
year, provided they would raise
1t at home, but that no help
could be expected from the ma
tional campaign treasury.

SANITARY GROUP
FUNDS AUDITED

The Washington Suburban San.
itary Commission during 1881 had
total receipts of $1,645, ,438.55,
while its disbursements amounted
to $l,5O3, ,694.95, an audit recently
completed by Edmund r. Stewart,
State auditor, shows.
The largest revenues were &C.
crued from front foot benefit
charges and penalties, of which
twice as much was collected from
Montgomery county as from
Prince Georges. The latter
county netted $13O,315.81 as
against $263.425.85 from Mont
gomery county.
The sanitary district tax netted
$68,118.86 while the water SER
vice charges produced $219,282.13
Interest on bank deposits, sinking
fund investments, discounts and
purchases and miscellaneous re-
ceipts totaled $40, 1888.
Construction maintenance and
operation expenses cost $685.

general expenses amounted to

expenses amounted to $488, ,848.55.
