New York, July 31.-The course of specula.

market, instead OF waiting for any further
hints from the west, decided TO reduce their

the opening, the leading shares improved
anywhere from = to per cent, The Changers
naturally scored the largest gain, as the short
interest in them had become unWieldy Lake
