SUMMING UP THE MARKET.

for hot July week following close upon the heels
Of protracted holiday the one just passed may be
commended for the amount OF business which it
brought to the Stock Exchange. Not that there was
anything very notable in the volume of transactions
or startling in the way of huctuaton. but simply
that the amount of business was fully up to the
average of midsummer weather and perhaps some
thing beyond it. II there ''great cry there

The commission business was more lively than is
usual for the season. and that being 30 there must
have been reason for it. This is to be found
IN the ever recurring crop discussion which
1t this period of each year comes back upon the
market like o boomerang. 1t was the same last year
and the year before. and specuators in Western rail-
road shares are now going over the same ground
sgain In the early days Of the week the market was
sgitated by conflicting reports as to the weather
and its effect upon growing crops. With the human
instinct to "borrow trouble the worst stories were
assumed to be the truest ones and these obtained
additional credence from the fact that some of the
larger holders particularly of St. Paul shares) had
become heavy sellers. Afterward. when it became
known that these reports were very much of a cock
and bull description ut least required
modification, fresh feeling OF confidence set in aud
with 1t demand for the granger and trunk road
shares, which wound up prices at the end to about
