There have been so many changes In tha various com-. panlea which go to make up tha Inter i borough-Metropolitan ay stem that Is not a Clear idea as to tha precise situa tion.

Having disposed aatlafactorlly of the President's speech the gossip hunters tackled that of Secretary Taft yesterday. Their early efforts in this respect were supplemented later by a more or leaa de tailed statement of what the Secretary la expected to say In bis Columbus There was a 'difference of opinion, as to the speculative deductions to t.e made from the alleged excerpts There waa also a change In aen-tlment In regard to the President's speech and some of the less volatile traders were Inclined to believe that nothing rampantly bullish would be uttered at Prov-inoetown next week. Some, brokera were hopeful that the Columbus speech of Secretary Taft would give ground for hope, and they looked for a Judicial utterance which to their minds would be reassuring. They aald that Inasmuch as everything Is diacounted In the speculative markets, there was no reason why th.e election of Mr. Taft should not be discounted and why bla flrat utterance aa prospective candidate should not be weighed as a premonition of bis purpose should he become Chief Executive of the Nation.

e.e 'Brokera Holding; 4b Bear "Recent recessions in "the market and the violent break In March last have been referred to as silent panics' and surprise has been expressed that no brokerage bona failed at either time." remarked a broker yesterday. It Is not a bit surprising to my mind, and there. Is no reason for comparison with the situation which existed In 11)03.

The to-day is in a different position. There are few housea that are carrying any long lines of spe- rial stocks In which they have a direct interest themselves. The stocks tbey carry are for customers. If a customer docs not put up margin his stocks are eotd out and the broker toses nothing but a customer The absence of fail, tires la significant of just One thing, and that, la the common sense position of the brokerage houses.

The leading commercial weeklies, though taking Into account the adverse Influence of the atock market collapse of the last fortnight, have nothing but good to say of the condltiona of general business throughout the country. Dun's Review aays: Lower prlcea for railway securities than at any time since July 1. lw4, greater stringency in the money market, and the telegraph strike were the week's adverse factors, offset by many favorable reports of Jobbing trade, manufacturing activity, rapid progress of the crops, and remarkably prompt collections, considering the scarcity of money.

Undue significance was given the Pope failure, which, as In the case of the Mllliken assignment In June, was caused bv monetary pressure and not lack of business. Irregularity at the leading commodity ucnuifei resuiteo rrom poor wire service, but there was. little net change In prlcea tteports rrom tne interior are almost unanimous In telling of active current trade, and bright prospects for Fall and Winter. Most leading Industries have orders covering output for months In advance, and new records of production are constantly noted. Favorable comparisons with the corresponding week last year are particularly encouraging, be cause of the exceptional activity in August.

1(01. Railway earnings thus far reported for the current month show an Increase of 7 par oent. over last year's figure, which In turn surpassed earnings in 1M5 by 11. 7 per cent. Foreign commerce at this port for tha latest week exceeded last year's by tTU5.0n4 ss to value of merchandise exported, but Imports decreased being the first loss reported In seven weeka Bank exchanges at New Tork were 4.8 per cent, larger than in the same week last year, while at other leading cities there waa an average gala of T.7 per cent.

Much new business has sppeared In the market for Iron and steel during the past week, although less than the rate of production In some sections, promising more prompt dellv-eriea Least favorable reports are received from tin plate mills, a short fruit crop having restricted purchases by canning Interests, but activity Is sxpected with the maturity of tomatoes and corn. Bradstreet'a aays: Growing crops show further good progress toward harvest, and Fall trade tends to expand at leading Western and Eastern Jobbing centres. Best reports naturally come from sections nearest surplus crop-producing regions, as, for Instance, the Northwest and Southwest, and there Is no apparent decline In demand visible In those sections, but the influences ef tight money, stock market unsettlement. and the telegraph strike are visible, more especially at the East, where conservatism as to buying for future needs Is more Immediately In evidence, confirmed as this feeling Is by the knowledge of the already large volume of orders secured. Cross currents are visible In different Indus, tries.

Thus, wnlle finished cotton fabrics are In demand and some makes, notably bleached i reports of smaller demand and lower prices for i woolen sond. while high-grade worsted and fine woolen fabrics have sold well, other grades are slower of sale, mnd ther t(Jk of i the leather trade there is more life than of late, and good quality leather and hides are on better sale, as are also high-class shoes; low grades are slower of aale. and Eastern shipments so far are 4 per cent, behind litoft. In iron and steel the lack of new buying is still notable and tend to ease, as the mills snd furnaces find deliveries easier to make. There are some very favorable features that deserve mention.

Thus July gross railway earnings complete show a gain of 11 per cent. over July a year ago, which in turn gained 11 nor cent avir the same month of 1WOO. Bank clearings are larger than last week or year, mainly, perhaps, due to heavy clearings growing out of active stock speculation at lower prices, but It is to be noted that gains over a year ago are auu very pm i side cities. CURRENCY MOVEMENT. Estimates of the results of the week's currency movement Indicated yesterday a gain in cash of from 400.000 to $1,400,000.

Discussing the movement In detail. The Wall Street Journal says: Reported movements of currency this week Indicate a gala In cash held by the banks ef Sll KtiO. They received from the interior (5 82.1.100 snd sent to the Interior $1, 048.300. Including transferred through the Sub-Treasury to New Orleans and Sl.uu2.OuO National banknotes sent to Washington for redemption. The loss ta the interior was Receipts of new gold were $1,971,000.

Internal revenue. per cent, redemption fund, were S21.S71.0ua The loss on Sub-Trsaaury operations proper was Tha total loss to the Interior. 11 223.200 and on Bub-Treasury operations proper.

was Deducting this from the gain by nsw gold of Ih. na ealn la t411.SuO. Receipts from the Interior were slightly larger than last week, while shipments fell off Evidently the large shipments ef currency to the Interior during the preceding week supplied the most urgent wants, as was indicated by the advsnc In domestic exchange earllrr in the week. The hank which make a epeciaity of mercantile accounts received consider able amounts of currency from all sections of the country, and the shipments of thee banks to the Interior were light. In the aggregate by far the lanrest amount of receipts cam from nearby and Eastern potnta Shipments war largest to Boston and Philadelphia, and some good amounts went South, la addition to 000 transferred to New Orleans through the Sub-Treasury.

It will be observed that the small gain this week wss du entirely to the receipt of Dew gold, of whloh nearly half was Alaskan Klondike gold, mad available her by checks of the San Francisco Mint and Seattle Assay Office drawn upon the Nsw York Sub-Treasury. The loss ew Sab-Treasury opera Hons represents the eseea of revenue over disbursements, and tha Kiss would much larger but for tha tncreas la pension payments to $2,414,000 from In the preceding week.

A 1,500 WIRELESS FOR $10.

Abraham White's De Forest Stock Sold to Satisfy Execution. An echo of the troubles of Abraham White, who announced a few months ago that be was going to merge all of the wireless Interests In his United Wire leas Company, came from the real es tate auction room yesterday where Deputy Sheriff Forges put up 1.500 shares of the stock of the American De Forest Wireless Telegraph Company and knocked the block down for (10. The sale waa to satisfy an execution of $5,472 Issued on May 12, against Mr. White, who waa then President of the company.

Mr. White'a merger never was accomplished In fact. GRAIN AND PROVISIONS. WHEAT After showing firmness most of tha day the market fell with a late break In stocks and lost all Its gain. Liverpool cabled a to Tid advance and Berlin a per bushel rise.

In subsequent dispatches warmer weather was predicted for Spring wheat States. Telegraphed statistics were In shout the same shape as the previous day, most of the Interior movement being missing.

As a result of the present tight money market, and the fact that two bond sales have failed recently, the City of New York la exceedingly ahort of funda, and, should the present conditions continue, the situation may become very trouble some to the city authorities. It may be said that it la already causing the officials of the Finance Department considerable worry. While Deputy Controller' McCooey, at present at the head of the department. roaintaina stoutly that there la no serious iinanciaj (ubitcbs ao inr as tne City is concerned, and that payments are not being withheld from contractora and other city creditors. Is.

nevertheless, a fact that the offices of the Controller are visited every day by upward of a score of men to whom the city ewes money and who have been put eff from time to time. Thia has been particularly noticeable In the laat week, and undoubtedly- resulted from the failure of the 15,000 XX bond sale last Monday. City Hard Pat te Meet Its Bills. Primarily, the failure of that sale Is responsible for the trouble. Had It been successful the city would bare had enough cash to tide it over, probably until Octo-1 ber, when the collection of taxes begins.

As bids for only a little more than were received, however, the city Is put to it to meet Its bills. The trouble with the contractors dates back to the failure of the $29,000,000 bond aale in the latter part of June. The money market then waa aa unfavorable to- the aale of 4 per cent, bonds as It is at pres- ent. As soon as the sale failed, the eon- tractors swooped down on Mr. Mets.

They A. V. were met witn tne assurance) wsd market would change soon, and that plenty of money would be forthcoming: in from six weeks to two months. The contractors neded money then almost as much as they do now. Some of them, perhaps on the strength of Mr.

Mats' a opinion, borrowed money on abort-time notes, and these notes. It la aald. are about to fall due. Naturally, the contractora turn to the city for what Is due them, but the city baa. not the cash to liquidate the claims.

A few of the contractors in question were persuaded on Tuesday and Wednesday to take city bonds 'in part payment of their claims. McCooey aays that the bonda were given thera with the un derstanding that they were not to be disposed of below par. However that may be. city bonds of the same Issue were offered in Wall Street the next day in the neighborhood of 9. The bonds had been turned over to the contractora under the new law that allows the selling of city securities at private sale at not less than par.

The offerings in Wall Street, although "Mr. McCooey does not admit it. virtually ended the chances of the city aispoeing 01 tne ounus at, ir and the salea made since have been comparatively insignificant. Threaten, te Qelt. It Is said about the Finance Department that several contractors have threatened to atop work on schools and other city improvements If money is not immediately forthcoming, as they cannot longer pay their men out of their pockets.

The extent of the trouble in thia regard may be measured bv the fact that ninety contracta for Board of Education work have been let since June 1. Many of these contracts have not yet been certified by the Controller, as required by law, for the simple reason that that official, when passing a contract, must certify that the amount of money called for bv it is available in the city treasury. It was the hope of the authorities thati tho Rales over tne counter would onng in sufficient money to meet the indebtedness if the bond sale failed. Mr. Mets at one time said that he had made arrangements for large sales In that manner.

The sales over the counter, however, have been but a drop in the bucket, and there Is considerable speculation about the City Hall as to where the city will get the money to meet the September n1 October payrolls, both of which fall before the tax money begins to come 1X1, especially no lliu ucui-uiu iur refcuuq bonds is said to have fallen off materially. WCLTOCJ ycniriuoj nuiliiliru itia. the financial depression waa affecting all securities alike, but declared that when this depression disappeared city bonds would sell at a premium. He denied emphatically that there had been a hold-up in the pay ir ent on certified contracts, but- admitted that improvements had been 4.t.vi throuirn-uie city aeciminar to certify contracta. QUESTION STOCK TIPSTER: Newark Police Look Into Business Methods of J.

Overton Paine. The Newark police undertook yester day to Inquire into the business methods of J. Overton Paine figured prominently on the New York Stock Exchange a few years ago. Mr. Paine has been giv ing information on the stock market with an office on the top Door of 193 Market Street.

Newark. A visit was tld to the office by De tective Sergt. Frank Tuite, and Mr. faine was requested to visit Captain of Detec-tlvea Carroll at Police Headquarters, who Questioned the stock man about bis busi ness airairs. Seen at his office later In the day Mr.

Paine admitted that he had been questioned by tbe detective rxafarding certain information, but denied that he would discontinue business, as had been reported in a Newark paper. Mr. Paine was then shown a copy of the paper and said that the statement as reported waa untrue, and said that be had instructed his attorneys to institute suit against the pa- that he was engaged in a legitimate business, and that he would continue to do so despite what the police Mr Paine does not operate any wire or telephone, and hia chief business, he said, resisted of furnlAhlnr information on the ock market.
