Uiider leadership of New York Central, which was sold down to the stock market! declined an avetaga of 2 points. The break was caused by discovery that the New Central, has a floating debt of about $40,000,000 and may be compelled to pass its dyldend, entirely. According tpi-eport it is not earning Jts fixed charges.

SHOT WELL.) New York, Aug. 20 Heavy selling I on stocks continued in Wall today. The market was supported just enough to keep it from breaking. The most important speculative interests believed. the most important movement has terminated and they are now working for a substantial re action.

"There is evidence that the ...1.4 If nap.n TtaiTA turned loose large quantities of stock which they propose to get back at lower prices. The; collapse of the freight raising movement has cast suspicion on the alleged boom in business. The liquidation pf steel by directors of the trust and by executive officers of independent steel companies is beginning to worry the professional Continued heaviness of New York Central is causing some apprehension and a dividend reduction is generally expected. Harriman is said to be shifting his speculative line from the Hill-Morgan stocks into Southern Pa- cine and Union Pacific. The copper metal situation is attracting careful attention once more.

The situation. in that direction is so highly speculative that no one would he surprised to see a sharp break in the metal stocks, especially In those that cannot produce metal under 1,200 pounds. October cotton broke 1.2 5 a bale in the first few minutes of 'trading. Bad reports, from cotton belt are responsible for it. Grain was not materially changed In the early trading.

Prices in London were nominal, there being no material movements of prices in either Raleigh Cotton Market Best grades, 10. Off grades, 810. Receipts today, none. Commercial Bar Silver. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New York, Aug.

Gray this morning and in a conversation with him Mr. Gray made the statement that there was no intention on his part to defraud the railway company. He said that it had been the custom of the railway company to deliver his goods to him on his order, without bill of lading or receipted draft purely as a matter of courtesy. He has been getting his goods in this way, he says, for seven or eight years, and had no reason to believe the courtesy had been withdrawn. Sometimes it would be ten or fifteen days before he would pay for the goods.

At this time he was holding up because of a difference in freight rates of about $30, which he did not feel he should pay. Mr. Gray states that he has made reparation as far as his means would justify and hoped to adjust the matter to the sat-1 lsfaction of the railroad company. it' A BURNING OIL WELL: Great.
