NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE bears were not dis
posed this morning to give up the advantage
given them by tho unfavorab!e Developments o.
Saturday, but aided By lower London figures sue
c,ed.d in opening the market from q to y per
cent. lower than the closing prices of Saturday
There was unusual activity in the first half hsur
and the buying was equally as good as the selling,
and in few cases did the further losses reach more
than tho slightest fractions The decline was soon
checked, however, and almost everything WAS
brought up to small fractions better than the
opening figures. There WAS good business done
in all the leading shares, the market being more
active than at any time for months. ct eleven
o'clock the market was fairly sc;ive and steady
to firm, generally at small fractions betsor than
first prices.
