TIE VOLUME OF STOCKS IMPROVING.
Tuesday. Aug. 7-p. m


There was some improvement in the volume OF
stocks dealt in to-day, the transactions aggregat-
ing 247244 shares But the general features
We're not different from what they have been
during the last weeks. There was about an equal
liquidation of speculative /" long and short
accOunts-one offset the other on the old accounts
There also was some new buying and selling for
speculative accounts-probably in almost equal
amounts So it is likely that to-morrows loan
market, as did tO-day's, viii show little change
in the aggregate Of the outstanding short
interest. That which is the factor in the advanc-
ing OF prices Is the real scarcity Of stocks In the
street and the continued absorption of them
which has been in progress for several months
money broker to-day made the statement that
there were no brokers in the street who wanted
to borrow any money or who had any stocks to
use as collateral. The statement in the abstract
is true
The special features in to-day's dealings were
Lake Shore, Michigan Central Canada Southern,
Philadelphia and Reading, Union Pacific and West
ern Union Those stocks led in volume of bust
