NEW YORK, Aug. 9.— The large buying
of Pennsylvania was again about the only
feature of strength in the stock market.
Its influence in restraining the falling
tendency of prices elsewhere was less
effective than yesterday.
' There was not much lr. the way of news
developments to account for the change-
In the market's tone and it was largely
due to the fact of the decline In prices
yesterday and the Inference from that
tact that a distribution of stocks was
going on from the hands of Influential
capitalists. The belief that they were fol
lowing such leadership sums up practic
ally the whole motives of 1 the recent
operations in the market on the part of
the speculative element. The conviction
In that quarter that the great capitalists
of the country were accumulating stocks
originated about the time of the last
meeting of the Union Pacific directors.
Special efforts had been made to secure
a quorum for that meeting and while It
was announced that no action had been
taken on the question of the next divi
dend, ' there was a widely disseminated
rumor that a decision had in fact been
•■arrived at which would be formally an
nounced at some future meeting of the
executive committee.
Apparently speculative . opinion had
hitched upon today's meeting of the
Union Pacific executive committee as the
one to announce the long expected devel
opments upon which that stock had risen
for several weeks with sympathetic effect
on the whole transcontinental group. Tim
adjournment of the committee today with
the announcement that only routine mat
ters had been considered seemed to shaka
the belief In the intended increase in the
dividend and the inauguration of divi
dends on Southern Pacific.
The effect was similar to yesterday's
announcement of the departure of the
chairman of the - St. Paul directors with
out the action on the expected plan for
the Pacific coast extension.
With confidence shaken in the truth of
rumors which had played so important
a part in the speculative advance In
prices the suspicious attitude toward the
movement which has been held in many
quarters from the outset was strength
ened. The expressed grounds for this
suspicion have been the supposed desire
of very large and well Informed holders
of stocks to secure a favorable basis for
distribution of their holdings.
The money market also gives decisive
evidence of the tightening effect of the
beginning of the demand for the pur
poses of the harvest. ■ The calling of
loans placed here by western banks and
the increasing demand for actual cash
from the interior showed plainly that tho
seasonable demand for funds now due was
setting in.
■ The payment of subscriptions for the
Panama canal bonds is also making the
banks losers on the sub-treasury opera
tions, the Intended redeposlt with the
banks of government funds being appar-"
entry delayed in their Influence upon the
banking reserves.
The rate for call loans went at high as 5
per cent today and the rates for time
loans also were appreciably higher. There
was a sharp reaction, however, in the
foreign exchange market.
The late development in strength In
Southern Pacific offset to some extent the
effect of the weakness In Union Pacific,
and a rally In prices repaired a part of
the losses. The closing was
quite firm.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, $2,155,000. "
United States bonds were all unchanged
on call.

DEATHIN DITCH
WORKMAN IN SEWER MEETS
TERRIBLE FATE
Caught by a. Cave. in, He Slowly
Strangles, Although His Neck Is
Broken by Weight of
Heavy Boards
Antonio Baladez was fatally injured
yesterday morning In a cave-In at
Central . avenue and Thirty-third
street, where workmen were excavating
for a sewer. , v
The ditch was about ten feet In
depth and a number of workmen were
removing planks from the excavation
when the accident occurred.
The sandy soil at once began to pour
down Into the ditch and the laborers
fled for their lives. *
Baladez was held down by the
weight of several heavy planks.
When. he finally was taken from the
ditch it was found that he had smoth
ered to death, although his neck had
been broken. -:;\,: ;\,
Regardless of Precautions
Foreman J. C. Duncan is said to have
ordered the shoring to be removed and
while the planks were being knocked
away the cave-In occurred.
Owing to the sandy nature of the
soil the contractors are said to have
ordered extra precautions to be taken.
Several small cave-Ins have been re
ported from other portions of the sewer
ditch, but no serious accidents followed.
City Inspector L. . Strohm was near
the scene and he aided in removing
the. body of the unfortunate man and
telephoned to the police station for the
ambulance.
The body was removed to Bresee
Bros, undertaking establishment, where
an inquest will be held today.
Balades was about 35 years old, and
he leaves a wife and three children.

PRETTY GIRLS TELL OF
ANTICS OF JAPANESE
ALARMED BY QUEER ACTIONS OF
WINDOW WASHER
Testimony In Police Justice Court Re.
suits in the Little Brown Man
Being Held for Inquiry Into His
Sanity,
After hearing a portion of the testi
mony of several pretty young girls as
to the queer conduct or N. Waraml," a,
Japanese window | washer, yesterday,'
Police Justice Rose remarked: '. ,:
"The defendant surely must be In
sane. I shall remand him to the jail
while the officers investigate his san
ity."
A very pretty girl testified she saw
the Japanese outside a residence at
Twenty-seventh and Hobart streets
acting in a queer manner. He kicked
a beautiful pot of flowers from' the
porch and then rushed upon the lawn
and began to pull up several small
shrubs from the ground.
Not content with this he Is said •to
have picked up a stone and threw it
through a plate glass window In the
house. . . ■
The young ladles who witnessed the
queer, acts of Waruml told the bailiff
they were never in court before and
disliked any possible notoriety.'
The bailiff gallantly assured them,
owing to the probable insanity of the
defendant, their testimony .would not
be needed.
"I never, was so frightened In my.
life," said one of the fair witnesses,
clad in a bewitching gown of pink.
"He acted the strangest of anybody I
ever saw and ' we were afraid to go
into court but knew the man ought to
be prosecuted."
