AT NEW YORK, July ket was again subjected to severe selling same motives that have prompted the selling for the two days previous. The pressure upon New York Central was the most conspicuous feature of the market to 114%, an extreme decline from yesterday of 41 and from last week of 11%. The attack upon the market was obviously in professional | hands, but it was equally evident that the bear tactics were based upon knowledge or conviction of the existence of large Beyond the York Cer no immediate the unshaken conviction of an early increase in New capital issues, there was news to account for the general decline it seemed to be based as much as anything on a general belief that a read- justment of the price level of securities must be made to conform to new condi- tions in the money m: et and industrial affairs before any real demand for securi- ties can be attracted The renewed weakness of Pennsylvania and its breaks through the previously pro- tected minimum at 123 to 121% had al- most as much effect on speculative senth ment as the slump in New York Central. St. Paul's drop to 14#% was of almost | equal influence. These stocks, as well | as Southern Pacific and Amalgamated Copper, broke through their previous low levels for the year and thus began the uncovering of fresh p-loss orders, which had been pretty well cleaned up above the year's ONLY A TEMPORARY RALLY. previous low levels. The temporary rally on the bank state- ment was of little significance, as the loss of cash, which was expected to be | nominal, ran to 00, with to-day's exports of gold to figure in the av | |s:m'.~v | markets to-day was evidenced against the 5 ANTA CLARA.

Whatever favorable developments occurred in the general situation were ignored and the selling of stock of all classes was freely pursued The most notable of these favorable de- velopments was the showing of railroad arnings made in the reports for the fourth week of June of gross earnings and the net returns for May. The coal- ers were conspicuous in the general ten- | dency toward increases over the corre- sponding period of 1 year, both in'the | net returns for May and the gross earn- | ings for the later period.

The following items will give you an idea of the many bargains. | downward prolonged period as a precautionary meas- | ure, are keeping much of it out on call. For periods of six months and longer there is an active demand for money and extreme conservatism in placing it. The situation is complicated with the week's large outgo of gold. The week’s break in the cotton market was regarded hopefully in the financi district as promising to put an end to artificial conditions existing in that mar- ket, but the later cotton market seemed to show the speculative forces still in control. Another symptom of the unrlerlyingl hardness of the money market is the re- ported difficulty of securing funds by financlal syndicates and the high interest rates which it is understood are being paid. The current reports in Wall street are that notes issued by the various rail- road companies sharing in the new con- trol of Hocking Valley bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent, and a high rate of in- terest was rumored also on the money borrowed in the change of control of a portion of the Oregon Short Line system. NEW YORK CENTRAL'S SLUMP. | The closing out from time to time of | old standing underwriting syndicates shows a considerable portion of the un- derwritten issues left in the hands of the yndicates, and efforts to market these in the open market have resulted in some quick declines. The offer to extend a ma- | turing 7 per cent bond of the Burlington system for two years on a 4 per cent ba- sis was regarded as indicative of the dis- inclination to attempt the issue of new securities at this time. But the most striking indication of this condition of the money market has been the action of New ¥ork Central stock in face of the needs of the cor- poration to raise capital for carrying out the extensive terminal which it has undertaken. The infer- ence that the $17,000,000 of stock in the | company's {reasury might be coming on the market has resulted in a precipitate plunge in the market price of the stock. The general mortgage 3 1-2 per cent bonds of the company, of which a residue in the treasury are available for issue, have also broken through par for the first time in their history %o several points below. The effect of this development upon the stock market of the latter part of the week has been aggravated by the heavy liguidation manifest in the United States Steel stocks in face of the of- cial claims of satisfaction with the quar- terly earnings of the corporation pub- lished during the week. The decline in net earnings, compared with the corresponding quarter of last year, is explained by the prevailing freight blockade in the railroads, which improvements | | cumulating stocks, a yielding tendency | of independent iron and steel companies | and stocks of the metal industry gener- | ally became weaker. | | | | newer obstructed the supply of material as well as the delivery of products. But reports of the iron and steel trade, of increasing production of pig iron, ac- in the market for products and rumors of a cut in steel billets proved more in- fluential upon the market for the securi- ties than the claims for earnings. Stocks DISTRUST OF COMBINES. The successive developments of diffi- culties in the financial affairs of the industrial combinations keep alive a somewhat indiscriminate feeling of distrust of that whole class of secur- {ties. The direct news from the crops has heen considered favorable and the Weather Bureau's weekly summary re- ported the most favorable week of the season. But prices of the cereals have advanced, and the fear of an unfavor- able showing of conditions by the Ag- ricultural Department’'s . monthly re- port has proved the dominant factor in the grain and stock market. The ele- ment of risk for the corn crop by rea- on of its lateness has also been much dwelt upon in stock market circles. Drices of bonds have settled to a lower basis generally, although some of the favorite active issues have been comparatively steady. United States 28 advanced %, the 3s and old ds 1 and the 5s Y% per cent, as compared with the closing call last week. ———————— To Keep Crime in Restraint. The indictment of three prominent citi- zens of Indianapolis for conspiracy to bribe the chairman of the Board of Pub- lic Works is a stroke of petty partisan politics which can hardly fall to hurt those who are responsible for it. Hilton U. Brown and his associates are not criminals and the best lawyers agree that they kept within the law in the attempt they made to procure proof that police officers are not doing their duty. There is always a degree of lawlessness in cities the size of Indlanapolis and the organ- jzed effort of good citizens is necessary to keep vice and crime in restraint. Mr. Brown and his assoclates were working to this end and the means they employed were such as are frequently invoked, in fact, the only effective way. Their in- dictment will be resented by the good | people of Indianapolis and the State— Kokomo Tribune. ——— Many makers are now building gas en- gines of 2500 horse power, and are ready to doyble this efficiency.

Lord Avebury, the president of the Sel- borne Saciety, took the challe at the recent annual meeting and conversasione. He al- luded to several of the many lines of work upoh which the association is en- gaged, to wit, the interest which it is tak- ing in the home counties nature study ex- hibition, the bird sanctuaries arranged for and the protection of plants. Lord Avebury claimed that near London plants now needed more looking after than birds and quoted instances from his own ex- perience; he also pointed out how easy it was for country clergymen to follow in the steps of the great Gilbert White. Sir |John Cockburn also alluded to plants and the advantage of the study of flowers to children, saying that in this respect we might as well be children. As chairman of the nature study exhibition held last year, he wished all success to the new undertaking mentioned by Lord Avebury. Sir George Kekewich said that of all the objects of the Selborne Society he would put nature study first. Dr. Bowdler Sharpe gave an {llustrated lecture on Sel- borne, and Andrew Pears, who recently bought the Wakes, offered a cordial wel- come to the members of the society who are to visit Selborne in June next.—Na- ture.
