BUSINESS In Dry. Goods Markets Is Quite Active; As Large Buyers Flock To Gotham. General Trade. Is Held Back By Prevailing Caution In Banking Circles, Which Hold Pur chases For Future Distribution To Actual Requirements. TKdAI.

DIWATCH til TBS Vltlli. New York, July 14: The dry goods mar- kets were quite active to-day because of the presence of many large buyer. There was a fair business placed on fome things, but the general run of Is timid or is held back by the prevailing caution In banking circles by which purchases for future distribution are being restricted very actual requirements. During the week the market will be more active, as there are many new lines being shown and many of the head ot large Western and Middle Western houses are expected to be Jiere in attendance- at the semi-annual meeting of the National Wholesale Dry Goods Association. The market condition is apparently a very sound one, barring such influences as a revision of tariff or further tightening ot money may bring about.

Stocks are clean In first and second hands, and consumption is declining very Irregularly and not in keeping with the restricted product' at il centers. Should normal crops be harvested and money for mercantile purposes case up in the coming month or two; most merchants believe that nothing can prevent a good trade based upon supply ami demand conditions. Inquiries From Jobbers. from the numerous inquiries icceived from jobbers regarding staple linens for the spring HH season, it was quite evident that these distributors had come to the place where they were forced to give 'serious consideration to. their for the long future.

Cot of the interest manifested came a good amount of business on staples, although th volume booked could not be considered large. Pricee very lirm and with the tariit out of the way before long buyers can go ahead with some degree of certainty, t8- pecially as the rates in the latest revised will probably become a law. r-rjeea nave oeen-ready lor some time on white and brown dress linens for the next spring season, but up. to tecently pur chasers bad not taken hold very firmly Martlet indications, however, point to a broader demand for thee goods in the near future, as many of the-doubts that sur rounded the situation have been dispelled by recent developments. Trade In spot linens continued to be seasonably quiet.

There is not likely to te much of an Improvement -noted in stock eoods until the end of the present month. large dry goods houses in the West re port a good advance order business for the -tail en. aiid, while the-sale in that ptrri of the- country are cutting deep into stacks, buyers are "not showing any inclination to replenish their holdings the present time. 1 Blocked Shapes Coming. It was said to-day that 'the tendency so far for women's fall hats was toward medium and small sizes in the mushroom and turned-up effects.

Practically everything shown will be blocked shapes. At no previous time have buyers be, able to procure such attractive fur sets at reasonable prices. This is due to the number of styles that manufacturers have -brought out for all classes of trade, and to the extensive use of undyed pelts, by which many new effects weie added to the lines Silver fox is prominent this season, as well as the Imitation, coney kit fox, which costs about half the price of the genuine. Natural kit fox is quite new and is one of the most popular of the inexpensive furs shown for faH. Variety is the keynote in the "tylcs tf both scarfs and muffs.

The newest muffs "have the outline of an elongated pillow. Some arc 2f inches lonsr. and the width of an ordinary muff. While the majority have square edges, some are rounded in front to give a heart-shaped outline. Prices on many lines of glassware are to be advanced immediately, but only in keeping with the increased cost of production.

Manufacturers have been asking too much on some lines" and not enough on others; Under the present plan If is praposed. to remedy the condition, lowering the items Which have been listed too high, and bringing up the prices of those that have been sold" below the cost of production.

ANSWERS Of Hauck To'Committee la Regard To Gas Situation Are Be Public Soon Definite Developments Expected. Developments approaching a definite character In. the. local gas situation, as It i ia affected by the negotiations between the Stockholders' Protective Committee and the Board Of Directors of trie Cincinnati Ua and Electric Company, are expected within a comparatively short time. Before departing for Europe last Wednes day President Louis J.

Hauck had placed in the hands of the Protective Committee answers to the original communication which demanded a cancellation of the franchise to the Union Company, and also to a subsequent communication which followed the receipt of his 3rt letter. Kor reasons, which have not been made public the committee ha revn Wt to withhold this correspondence to date. It is said that there are several propositions pending at this time which7 the publication "of the letters would injure, and that it Is desired to secure a settlement of these matters be fore official publication of the correspond ence is made. Attorney Samuel Assur, who has acted as counsel ror me r-roiccuve uuninuucc, and who has been largely responsible for the progress of Its affairs to date, wo.uld make no statement yesterday. He said President Hauck answer and tne com mittee's replies would be made public with in a short time, but he would not divulge their nature because of what he termed "pending matters.

President Hauck answer to tne nrst communication of the committee, in which It was charged that tne operation oi we gas properties by the Union Company was not being carried on In the interest or tn3 Cincinnati shareholders, was received by the several weeis ago. It Is un derstood that It was not regarded aa satis factory and a letter which was more bristling in its terms than the first draft to the Board of Directors was sent him In reply. This he answered the day before he left the city for a several months' so journ in Europe. According to report current 'in the nnan- cial district yesterday Mr. Hauck's second letter met with the general approval of the committee.

In it lie is belie vd to have answered satisfactorily a number the complaints of the Protective Committee and also to have outlined partially 'plans for the future which ara deemed advan tageous to the Cincinnati stockholders. One particular feature in Mr. Hauck's letter, according to report, is his1 statement that plans now being considered call for the burden of the building of a electric plant being placed on the Union Company or the Interests operating the property at the time the imiwovement la. made. This Is one of th things the committee has stood fcr.

and any action on the part of the Board of Directors of this Cincinnati company in working- out this arrange-' ment would go a long way toward securing the co-operation of the Protective Committee In the plans for readjustment. It is understood that on thing that may be responsible for the Protective Committee withholding its correspondence with President Hauck Is the plan of the Col urn.1 j-bla Gas and Electric Company to get aoaoiuic conu-oi oi ui union Company through absorption of its stock4. The plan has been jlactared Operative, but an extension in time has been' granted to allow all Union shareholders to exchange their securities for Columbia debenture bonds. VALUATION INCEEASED.

Detroit Capital stock, on of If a of it Is or In BOTH SIDES Of City Sale pf Bonds. President of Sinking Fund De-r fends What Is Donev But Representative of Bond Dealers Takes Exception and Claims Present Sales Are TO TBS BDITOB or TBS SKODIBBB. Dear Sir In reading the financial news of. Sunday's JEnquirbr. I noticed that there seems to be some slight Irritation, and quite a large degree ot misunderstanding on the part or some of the bankers and brokers ln reference to the action of the City Auditor In offering for "over the counter'- the new Cincinnati 444 ner cent bonds.

In this connection I wish to ac knowledge in my official capacity, as well as my personal one. the deep sens obligation which the city of Cincinnati Is under, and the fine type of co-operation and clvle patriotism that have been' displayed on very many occasions by those brokers and bankers that deal largely in bonds of the city of Cincinnati, for they have been of great service to the city, and on several occasions any pecuniary profit to themselves. -r The misapprehension under which aoine ot.thern now latoor, evidenced by the comment above referred to, lies in the fact that they do not seem to understand that it is the moral, and probably tbe legal duty of the City Auditor lo try to sell "over the counter" the' various issues' which he is now offering, for the statutes provide that bonds shall be first offered at public sale, and if no satisfactory offers are re celved. to wit, not less than par and ac crued interest, they may then be offered at 'private sale to wit. "over the counter.

These bonds were offered at private sale and no bid. as required by law, re ceived for a 2 me. My personal opinion is that the temporary stringency, tn tbe money market prevented the brokers from being able to negotiste loana from- the banka at a satisfactory rate of interest that would have justified-them In buying blocks. It is also my personal opinion that the most stringent period of the money situation haa been safely passed, and tliat it will not be very many months the savings banks will be eager seekers after Just such gilt-edge securities as Cincinnati 4- per cent bonds. I also feel thst the present is the psychologies! time for both large and small Investors to avail themselves of the rare opportunity offered, and purchase from the City Auditor at par and accrued Interest these 4 '4 per cent bonds.

It Is true that at present the bonds are not exempt from ts cation, but it is equally true that any purchases of these bonds need not be listed until April. 1014. In the meantime, there will be held an election nest November to -amend the constitution. making these bonds exempt from taxation. The revulsion of feeling throughout the state Is so great on the subject of taxing the bonds issued by municipalities that there I hardly a well-informed "politician In the state who is not of my own opinloi namely, that the amendment will carry by a very large majority.

If this amendment carries in November, then these bonds will be exempt from taxation." and lo that event need not be listed in April. 1014. Should. however, my forecast of the election prove wrong, and the amendment fair to carry, then the buyers of these bonds have Until April. 1914.

to wit, nix months, tn which to ell them on the market, or exchange them for nontaxable bonds. In others words; it is almost a certain proposition that, no matter what happens, the purchasers' of these '4 per cent bonds do not stand to lose, for If 'the constitutional amendment carries ini-November. as seems lrnost-a certainty, then If the 4 per cent bonds are worth par. as advertised by brokers, the 4V per cent bonds, tax exempt might become worth 108 or HO. If the amendment should not carry, then the holders of them stUl have six months before the tax -listing period in which to Quietly dispose of them.

It la more than 30 years since Investors were able to' purchase 4'i per cent bonds of the dty of Cincinnati, the fjnest security In the world, at par, and I shall be very much mistaken if both large Investors, as well as small ones, do not take advantage of the opportunity. Very respectfully. Geo. W. Harris.

President of the Trustees of the Sinking Fund of he City of Cincinnati. Cincinnati. July 14. THE OTHEE SIDE. Bond Buyera Takes Exception Says Sale Ia UlejjraL and W.

D. Breed, of the firm of Breed. Har rison Kliott, one of the most extensive buyers and sellers of bonds Jn the city. with experience tn Ohio and Indiana bonds, takes exceptions to many of the points raised Mr" Harris In" the above com munication, and voices the sentiments of the bond houses of this city. Breed says It Is not the stringency In.

the. money market that has kept the brokers from bidding on Cincinnati bonds. but the fact that the city has not fixed an interest rate Justified by the conditions. This rate, be says, should be at least 4.73 per cent, so that dealers could afford to offer them on a 4 basis. -The fact Is, he says, that the bonds are not worth Uv the market what the city' Is selling for.

and that the present buyers of them will -never be able to nego tiate them at the price. -they pay the city. It Is by no-means certain that the coif BtitutionaJ amendment to repeal th tax bonds will carry, and -If It does that it will be legally 'so thst these bonds Taunt always pay the tax. and can never In the market with non taxable issues, nor seH above par. As to Mr.

Harris's suggestion that holders triers bonds can. quietly dispose of them 'the amendment should not carry.

A ct rami tee, which -was appointed sev eral weeks ago upon a revival of the movement, was instructed to draw up plans and by-laws for such an associstlon and to make arrangements for a meeting of mar: chantain the early part of the fall, at which it Is expected to perfect the organi zation. The committee -is composed of James P. Orr, Andreas Burckhardt, George Golde, J. K. McClaJn and A.

K. Wise. A total of about 15 merchants last eve ning signed up and took membership lathe organisation, which to date is enly tentative, but which bids fair by no uncertain tokens to become permanent. It was the assertion of James P. Orr, who acted es Chairman, and Andreas Burckhardt.

who served as Secretary, that'' the association would, be formed without a doubt. The number of merchants alio were will ing to bind themselves last evening and the number who have given the committee as surances of their active support were re sponsible for the confidence that nothing tan prevent the fulfillment of the hopes of a of the merchant that have ex isted for some time and which once seemed almost realised. The principal feature of the association will be the inauguration of a comprehen sive credit system which will enable the merchants to act wisely and Judiciously ia the extension of credits. The system will follow closely tbe lines of that in vogue in Indianapolis, where the Retail Merchants' Association has developed surprising efficiency. It also will be the aim of the association to secure closer co-operation among the retail merchants and to further systematic' action in all matters of business conduct and the elimination of bad business prac tices.
