The tone of the narrow specu- |1ation showed sentiment very doubtful | and hesttating. Stocks were sold early | {in the day on the assumption that yester- | day's upward movement had discounted ® favorable bank statement, so that no further rise could be expected after Its| publication. There was a momentary | rally when the statement appeared, the selling was renewed and prices reced- {ed to a level substantially below last night, closing dull and heavy, without any rally. The gain in cash was almost twice as much as had been anticipated, but the small loan contraction was a disappoint- ment in view of the heavy liquidation in | the stock market It was hoped that the | large portion of the week's railroad cor- | ppration loans, which were abroad and | the fact that the Pennsylvania Company | has begun the repayment of its six months’ notes, would result in a sub- stantial contraction of loan obligations. | | The fact that the decrease only amounts | to 82, . gave rise.to a supposition that the banks have been putting out some re- | newed loans on a large scale to private | individuals with the proceeds of the | week's liquidation Pressure upon Amalgamated Copper was | | renewed and its decline of nearly 2 points and the weakness of St. Paul and a point drop in Consolidated Gas caused impression upon sentiment. Rock and was again forced down to yeste s low level. New York Central w. supported and recorded a 1-point decline. | The Toledo, St. Louis and Western stocks made sharp rallies from yesterday’'s vio- | lent breaks. There was a large belated de- | cline in some of the active stocks, which had not been dpd in during the late he encouraged views business, expressed by weekly com- mercial reviews and the large percentage of increase in gross earnings of railroads accord to latest repo were ignored in trading. Heavy liquidation in the stock market has been in progress during the | | week without any developments in the | general business and industrial situation to adequately account for it | NEW YORK CENTRAL. | The weakness which developed last| week in New York Central on the as- sumption that it needs for funds must be met by some new capital issues, with | the danger of a repetition of the expe- rience me 1 the flotation of the new Pennsylvania stock issue—spread general- Iy throughout the district as it became had Mimilar need for funds, which they were supplying by temporary loans, pay- ing high rates of interest rather than a tempt to sell securities at a sacrifice in the present unfavorable market. This was | not a strictly new situation, as it had been known for some time that the roads | sharing in the new control of Hocking | Valley had given their names on g 6 per | cent basis. An extension of a m turing | service bond of the Burlington for two years on a 4 per cent basis was also a plain symptom of the disinclination of | raflroad corporations to attempt any | large new issues at this time. The vio- lent decline in Pennsylvania shares in| connection with the new Issue of stock { was a conclusive demonstration of the unfit condition of the market to absorb new issues even of high grade and the confession of newer industrial issues in the market had been notorious for months. Nevertheless acute uneasiness over the money situation at present and prospective was caused by the announce- ment that the Burlington had borrowed $5,000,000 until next March and the Union Pacific $10,000,000 for a year and a half on a 6 per cent basis. Many rumors there- upon became current of large prospective borrewings by various railroads and of the consequent inroads to be made upon | money sunplies. The market took on a tone of demoralization on Wednesday and grave fears began to be felt of the consequence of the shrinkage of values. On that day the influential bank- ; ers in the Clearing-house also took counsel among themselves and allowed : it to become known that careful inves- | tigation had assured them of the sound- | | ness of the banking situation and the | safety of the position of all city banks and trust companies so far as they could ascertain. The bankers were averse to | | making formal announcement of the fact | until the result of such an investigation | { on the ground that unfavorable {nfluences ! | might be drawn from its being thought | | necessary to take such steps. But the | ground for confidence resulting from the canvass was commonly known in the financial district and had a notable effect | in reassuring sentiment FOREIGN EXCHANGE MARKET. Another fact that had a strong effect in restraining cqnfidence was the sharp response of the foreign exchange market to the rise in the domestic money mar- ket. The stréength which has beén main- tained in the exchange market and the sustained outward movement of gold, in view of the disparity in interest rates, had an effect abroad on the part of for- eign capital which gave small hope of re- | lef for domestic money needs from that | source. But on Thursday there was a | precipitate break in forelgn exchange | which transformed the situation from one of apprehension of further gold ex- | ports to a prospect that gold could be | brought in on occasion of need. Foreign banking houses offered large sums of money in the New York market. It was | learned that a large proportion of the Union Pacific and Burlington notes had | been taken by foreign capitalists. The buying of stocks in the New York mar- | ket for foreign account was also sald to | be on a liberal scale, although this move- ment was more obscure, as the decline in prices had been so much more rapid than in London. Sales In London were cov- | ered here at the decline. The rally in the stock market which re- sulted in the latter part of the week wiped out a large portion of the earlier losses and some of the active stocks were lifted above last Saturday’s level. Some of the most sensational movements of the week were in high-grade investment stocks, which were largely traded in. Some of these broke scores of points on small transactions. The limited amount of the sales and the quick recovery in such stocks on the purchase of equally small amounts precludes the idea of any general liquidation going on in these prop- erties or any unfavorable developments | regarding the properties themselves. The marking down of market prices of the igh-grade investment- stocks and mortgage bonds is a clear”intimation of | the general tendency to adjust prices to | the new interest basis. With the prospect of six per cent interest rates for an in- definite period there is little inducement to hold securities on a 3% or a 4 per cent basis. . CORN CROP CAUSES WORRY. That there has been liquidation by large institutions with a view of employing funds in the open money market is com- ; monly assumed in Wall street.

GINNING TO-MORROW NIGHT. e HE return of Camille d"Arville to the stage in the comic opera by Smith and De Koven, “The High- | wayman,” is one of the events of the dramatic season. Her fine so- prané voice was never heard to better ad- vantage than in the part of Lady Con- stance Sinclair, a part in which she scored so big a success In the original of individual capitalists to meet obliga- tions on underwritings and to protect property interests in need of working cap- jtal are obvious in some conspicuougy es and are commonly inferred in oth~ ers, and are rumored with all degrees of relfability and unreliability in others. Wall street professes some anxiety over the outcome of the corn crop on account of its lateness, and the settlement of the basis of the coming year's business In iron and steel is eager- ly studied. But there is little of the weeic’'s settlement In the stock mar ket to be traced to influences from the outside business world. Reports of rail- road earnings and of current raflroad trafic are considered favorable. The pressure for loans and the rise in the in- terest rates, with the resulting liquidation of marketable securities, are accepted as evidence of the undue expansion of cred- its in enterprises, some of them unsound, some of them overcapitalized, some of them in too rapid an anticipation of fu- ture growth and some of them for neces- sary improvements and betterments to accommodate present business, but the capital needs for which had not been suf- ficiently allowed for. The bond market was also weak, with some recovery in sympathy with stocks. United States bonds are all unchanged as compared with the elosing call of last week. . —————————— In the first week in May the tempera- ture in some parts of India rose to 114 degrees in the shade.

Special Dispatch to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G street, N. w., WASHINGTON, July 18.—The investiga- tion being made by immigration and other authStitles into naturalization ana passport frauds proceeds. This unlawful practice has assumed alarming propor- tions. The Investigation in New York City showed long ago that there was a Hoboken printing office in which natural- ization papers were turned out by whole- sale for the use by newly arrived aliens to get work under the municipality and on contracts where only American citi- zens could be lawfully employed. It now appears that’ similar papers are being manufactured abroad by wholesale and that the frauds extend to all parts of Europe. From all seaports at which im- migrants arrive reports are Dleing re- ceived of seizure of scores of sets of these papers. These reports are coming prin- cipally from New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Five sets of fraudulent naturalization papers were found on passengers on the steamship Brandenburg at Baltimore yes- terday and all holders of papers were ordered deported by Commissioner Sar- gent. The Government has a special board of inquiry at work in Baltimore and this body discovered the frauds on the Brand- enburg. The board has learned that the papers are obtainable in Vienna, Paris, Berlin and all of the big continental citles. Since the destruction of the printing plant in Hoboken the printing is being done abroad and immigrants are given naturalization papers before they sail for the United States. Most of the emigrants holding these papers, who have been ap- prehended and deported, were ignorant and supposed that they were buying something that made them bona fide cit- izens of phe United States. In addftion to the naturalization frauds a flood of fraudulent pagsporcs have slipped through the lines of officers at seaports, whose dutles are to keep out undesirable visitors from abroad. This business has apparently been carried on in ough manner, the immigrants and the’élm of bad passports evidently be- lleving it an easy matter to deceive the rs on this side of the Atiantic. Persons forty-five years old have been held up within the last week because they have had passports for persons nineteen or twenty years old. Some, when ques- tioned as to their names, have given names entirely different from those on the passport descriptfons and many other things have failed to tally. ——————— The Charm of Music.
