The busnets outlook is about as reported last
week The movement in grain is increasing
slowly, and the market is somewhat stronger
Money matters are without change, and there is
still great complaint of scarcity in the country
generally. U. 8. bonds remain firm but quiet.
Virginia securities are firmly held, and the offer
ings are unusually light. Railroads bonds and
stocks are as yet quiet.
NEW YORK. August 1.-THE stock market
opened steady. with quotations close to the final
prices last night but became very weak after the
first few minutes under renewed attacks by the
recently formed bear clique. The volume of bus.

slight recovery then occurred, and at IL o'clock
the market was barely steady at declines ranging
