4 Spacial Dispatch to The later Ores a. NEW YORK. Aug. X. The finaneUl aitua- lion at large has actually changed very little luring the paat fortnight.

Stock market renditions, however, during ths past week thowed a most decided change. In the pUi (jan3korliokatings'and therefore dangerous, eat hualaamT which prevailed during tha month of July, there was evident a general feeling that discretion was the bet ter part ef valor, and that It was not the part of wisdom to attempt, la a week or a month, to discount the unquestioned, unim paired, and still promising strong financial outlook. The less disorderly projaedU-gs la the stock market seemed to follow the suppression of activity on tha part of the so- called Western contingent, ta whose operations July's occurrences were mainly owing. In fact, the coterie In question, so far from attempting to carry on an aggressive and artificial manipulation of the bull side, have been large and open sellers of stocks. In consequence, the market nas nao to taxe care of Itself, as Is the vernacular of Wall atreet.

It may be said that the result has been a surprising and perbsps an unsuspected demon stration of strength. It is true, to be sure, that for the first time in a month or more, the week trans actions have resulted in lowering the aver age level of prices, but In view of tha re versal of the manipulative machinery, the re sults havs been surprisingly small. great baa become the prestige of the "Chi cago crowd" this summer that it might have been inferred that the cesaation of their activities would have been succeeded by something approaching a slump in the stock market. On the contrary, there has ensued only a moderate reaction la prices sad i very desirable dimintitioa in speculative sc tlvity. The point cannot be emphasised too strongly that Wall street Is always prone to mistske the mere spectacle of advancing prices for genuine market stability, where as.

aa a matter ef fact, they may not always be logically so identified. T.r.s ta the Crews. Dismissing for the time the stock market dealings of themselves, and taking Into con- alderatloa the varioua fundamental features of the outalde situation. It will be observed that the anthracite strike conditions are not definitely sltered, that the monetary situs- flloa In general remains dubious, and that asricultural conditions have made, further progress towsrd satisfactory harvesting. The weather In the grain belt hss.

on ths whole, been favorable of late, and It Is unnecessary to say that the passage of each week- brings us nearer to the point of absolute safety la this important regard. When it Is said -that tha strike of the an thracite coal miners has continued with as definite evidences of a settlement of tha troubles In that direction, the reservations should be made that negative symptoms are developing which ordinarily foreshadow tha beginning of the end. la short, outbursts of turbulence among the strikers, have heretofore Indicated that they were losing confidence In the success of their cause. and such resorts to desperate measures have upon former similar occasloaa. pointed to an early settlement.

Now that the Pennsylvania state authorities have finally seen fit to send a force of militia Into the anthracite regions for the- purpose of protecting life and property, the mice owners may become emboldened to exercise their lawful right to operate their properties and to endeavor to realise atherefrom the profits inherently be longing to them. What portends the-ead of tha strike more clearly than any other phase of the situa tion may be found In the now evident and proaouarwd disgust of the majority of the operatives st the position Into which they were forced by their leaders. It Is plain that they would require but very little stimulus aad encouragement to recede from their mistaken attitude and to seek re-employment. At all events, the lndicstions st large seem' to point to an early removal of this grave and costly drawback to national pros perity, from tha prominent part in financial consideration it has occupied for so long a tlms. Moaejr Market I'aehaaaredU Tha monetary situation, although natur ally affected by tha week's heavy gold ship ments, and further by the prospective In terior demand for currency for crop more-meal purposes, has actually altered very 1U- UI In regvd the rates for a ceo mod a- Money haa bee freely available an (ail.

oni at under 2 par cent, all tha week. On the other band, borrowers for long pe riods have been forced to pay fairly high rates, and. have had to provide collateral of unquestionable character. Ia its relation to the current sncnetary situation Saturday's bank statement proved to be a rather surprising docaasant la several respects. Tha statement a cowed none of I be expected el-lects of tha stock market liquidation of the earllor part of tha week.

and. in fact, the loan account showed tha surprising Increase of over J6.000.WK). Notwithstanding week's gold shipments of nearly 15,000,000. tha banks actual cash holding decreased only $500,000. In eomparlaoa with the banks' position at this time last year.

although this expo sition ef tha ease must be modified by tha misleading natnrs of the returns as compiled oa the average system. It may be not ed that tha banks are now lending over mora thaa they were at this period last yesr, while their deposit account shows an Increase of only a little over $1,000,000 la the same time. their holdings of actual cash are $. 000,000 less than they were the corresponding week of 190 L. In consequence, their surplus reserves on Saturday appeared at less thaa 114,000.000.

Now that tho threatening speculative excesses of the summer have been checkeC. It la to note that the financial outlsok la general still makes for actaa stability la the market, even tt It Is far from warranting what Wall street fondly designates as speculative buoyancy. The latest returns ef the mer-sjrrtle agendas ax weft pllatloas of the financial Jour-ram, aad finally the statements of railway traffic; all go to show that the industry of the country large la not enly being firmly maintained en the hlghJeveJs of the year, bat te expand-' lng farther.

In regard to the posi tion; of the anthracite coal orerators. it Is well also to bear mind the tact that precedents show clearly that the nigh prices for coal growing out of such a strike aa tnat ef this summer are maintained for a long time after the mire are In full operation again.

Railway Matters See. re Atteatlea. The week has witnessed a number of Im portant events-concerning particular railway and other properties in various di rections. The Rock -Island's rspltal readjustment scheme has been finally an notwithstanding tta fearful and wonder fur" workmanship, the financial community Is' generally disposed to believe that it has been Indulging In unwarranted apprehension as to the likelihood of the ability of the promoters of the plan to carry' it into effect. It has been correctly said In relation to the Rock Island scheme that It simply furnishes an illustration of the power of the sole owners of a property to do with it as they please and If the owners of Rock Island choose to reissue the share capital of the concern la the form announced.

that is a subject of concern chiefly to them selves. The property will earn not a dollar more nor a dollar less in consequence and I IN FIRST SERMON AS NOBLE'S SUCCESSOR. The Rev. Dr. A.

They will tpend at least two weeks in the work, going north aa far as Duluth snd ss fsr east as Erie, Pa. Later anther trip will be made to decide which location best meets the nec essary requirements. According te Besr Admiral Taylor, ths aits selected must have three requisites. These, in order of importance, are: That the aite be near a center of popula tion, thst It msy draw from a large area. It must be near enough to a large city so that its progress will be a natural part ot the news cf that city.

That It have good transportation facilities tc the ocean, not only ths Atlantic, but ths Pacific and the gulf as welL That the land be adapted to the construc tion of fortifications and that It have a natural harbor or a water front such that a harbor can be easily constructed. First Twe Are Ianeerta.t. "The first two are of great importance, said the Rear Admiral. "We will not report favorably on any location that la not surrounded by a populous country. If we are going to have a navy, we must have a good) one, aad to have that we must have men.

Another point la favor of the training school being located near a big city la that in that way it la bound to be kept before the people. I picked up a newspaper this morning abd saw several stories about Fort Sheri dan. It the school be located in a similar poaltlon te aome large city, aewa from the school would be aa much a part ef a day's record aa the market reports- Easy Traasyertatlea Essential. "The place cbosea must have good trana- portatlon facilities, because at any moment it might be neceasary to rush a lot ot men to the coast. Mo ens can tell whesv aa aeeident or a claah with some foreign power might make It necessary that the young fellows at the training school be hurried west or Admiral; Taylor was asked if It was true that he had forecasted trouble with Qermaar within flvn years.

No. I didn't nay that. he said. "What I did say was that If Germany and the United States did have a claah thai country would have the advantage over us in having a great number of trained men ready for her navy. said tt simply te emphasise any eoaten- tioa that It we are going to have a navy, let be one worthy of the name aad nation Predlete Rapid Growth.

"As to the third requisite for a location for the school thsrs is the lead Itself. About MO acres probably will be purchased. I believer thst after the school Is started. Its growth will be so rapid that nsw buildings will hsve to be sdded eoastaatty. -mere also should be a good harbor.

If there la no nat ural harbor we must choose a site where a harbor may be easily mads. No. we have not talked among ourselves about the advantagea of say particular point.

All of us are deeply Interested la the nrelect aad we will examine carefully toe qualifications ef each place we visit. After we have finished our tour of Inspection each ef ns will announce to the others which places HEVV NAVAL SCHOOL he thinks are suitable Tor the location of the school.
