NEW YOIIK, Aurj. 25.
Tho failure oC railroad officiate to reach a satisfactory settlement on tlio ques
tion of tho demands of organized labor was tho. chief factor tlctennlntriE market
movements during tho last half of tho day. Probabilities and possibilities were.
discussed In ratlrad and banking circles, and there seemed to bo a greater degreo
of uneasiness over tho situation than at any time slnco tho labor position had been
defined.
In Bomo quarters it was feared that tho delay In reaching a decision was duo
to tho determination of tho railroad managers not to recede from their request for
'arbitration, and In Wall street the assumption was that a deadlock had been
created.
All through tho first half of tho day tho market tone had been confused and
prico movements Irregular. Thcro wcro frequent advances nnd recessions, but tho
upturns wero without substanco and tho displays of strength wcro of short
duration.
Tho railway Issues wcro pressed for salo shortly after noon and It was then
demonstrated that thcro was llttlo demand around previously prevailing prices.
New York Central dropped, on small selling, from 10G to 10GH. Union Pacific
sustained a fos3 of about U points, nnd United Stales Steel common also dropped
3 points from Its high pilco of 00 In tho first half of tho day.
Tho weakness extended nil through tho list, Including even the copper shares,
which had boon tho strongest features of tho early trading.
Anaconda sold off 1 point, and sharp decline occurred In American Smelting,
feature of trading In other Issues, Including Consolidated Gas, was tho desertion
from tho bull side of some pools which had recently been active In advancing

and most active ulnco tho present bull
Movement began, nnd perhaps sinco tho
tart of tho European war. Tho first call
occupied fully 10 minutes and prices were
up 2 3 31 points.
A strong market at Liverpool furnished
the Impetus for initial btreniith here, and
Liverpool was tho heaviest buyer on th9
opening through half a dozen houses, un
doing straddles.
The mulish Journal of Commerce report
on South Carolina was also a factor, and
there seemed to be eomo Indication that
the tropical ttorm might get into tho east
ern belt.

movement later In tho morning, with Janu
ary contracts selling up to 15.87c. or no less
than 40 points abovo the closing prices of
last Ti!ght.
A midday advance carried prices about
40 to 43 points net higher, with December
contracts selling at 15.65, or Hi points
above the low level reached on the reaction
of August 12. It was estimated that not
less than 20,000 bales of long contracts
had been absorbed during tha morning,
but the buying movement tapered off some
what early In the noon hour and reactions
In New Orleans helped to unsettle senti
ment arqund the local ring.
Prices continued to climb toward the
1911 record of 18.15 during tho afternoon.
May was quoted at 10.13, up 59 points
for the day,
Some futures advanced as much as ?3
on the bale today on reports that the crop
of tho country would total 12,000,000 bales,

Curb wcro Irregular, with somo Issues
showing strength, whllo others woro pressed
for salo at concessions. Most Importance
was attached to buying of MIdvalo Steel,
which ranged from 01 to 05.
Tlio Impression prevailed that tho buying

dend In September.

good demand, with Cosden & Co. moving
up from 13, to II, nnd tho bonds rose
from 100V4 to 1 0 0 ', . Metropolitan Petro
leum continued In good demand, advancing
from 14 to 15H-
Some of tho traders offered Omar Oil
down sharply and met with llttlo resist
ance. Statements havu been In circulation
for somo time that could not bo regarded
as Incentives for buying this stock.
Tho mining stocks were quiet, but Monitor
Silver continued In gopd demand, with sales
at 2U to 2 '4. United Vcrdo Extension was
weak, declining from 31? to 33.
American International Corporation sold
off. Aetna Explosives was Jtrong during

BETTERMENT IN MONEY MARKET HERE
IS LOOKED FOR BY BANKERS IN FALU'
Rates at Present Are About Unchanged Business on the
Philadelphia Stock Exchange on Small Scale Ameri
can Railways Preferred Drops a Point ... i.
Whllo there Is no very great change tn
tho money market In this city now In com
parleon with recent weeks, bankers hold to
tho belief that rates will stiffen a trtfla
this fall. No pronounced advances are ex
pected, however. Tho looked-for betterment
In the market Is based largely on the fact
that when fall draws near moro money Is
usually needed for crop movements, Im
provements, extensions, etc.
Although the oftlctal call rate remains
Unchanged at 4 per cent. It was said today
that money, on very good names, has been
loaned below this figure, somo loans having
been mado recently nt Hi per cent. These
loans, however, have been few and the
names havo been very choice. Itates on
commercial paper, Bay for six months, range
around 4 per cent, and somo very good 90
day paper has been placed as low at 84
per cent.
Commercial borrowings shew somo slight
Improvement, An Instance of this Is tho
fact that one of the largo uptown banks ln
the last day or two loaned to a man who

A further contraction In business oc
curred on the Philadelphia Stock Ezcliange
today. Although Steel common was stilt
the most active Issue, It did not show tha
activity that was present earlier In the
week. Movements of prices, except In a
few cases, were mostly fractional.
A discordant note waa struck by Amer
ican Hallways preferred, which declined &
full point, and fractional losses were re
corded In n number of other issues. A be
lated response to the good financial position
of tho company, Indicated by the fact that
an Increase of 1 cent an hour In wages to
tnotormen and conductors has been granted,
was made by Philadelphia Rapid Transit
trust certificates. The Improvement was
only a fraction, however. For a time the
company's trust certificates were tho most
active ln the trading, two large blocks
changing hands, one pt 1000 shares and
another of 1200.

Smuggling Goods to Germany
In Neutral Mail Bags
IN Sunday's Public Ledger there will be an article
telling why the allied censora feel free to inspect
all postal matter and regulate trading by nations not
involved in the war. Though privileged by the British
Foreign Office and written from the Allies point of
view, the article aims to present the conclusions of an
impartial British observer who has had unusual facili
ties for inspecting the censorship of mails.
