NEW YORK, Aug. Pin his weekly
review of the financial situation in
Wall street Henry CleWs SAYS:
During the past week affairs in Wall street
nave shown a. steadier tone. The action of
the banks in Strengthening the treasury re-
serve and OF the foreign bankers in COM
bining to prevent the export of gold have at
least. had the effect of assuring timid people
who feared some catastrophe. This interyen-
ton has broken up the demoralizing appre-
nension tnat was assuming more or less
serious dimensions. People are growing
calmer, and therefore disposed to weigh
the facts Of the situation more dfspassion-
ately. AS the influence of fear abates. the
conviction gains that the public apprehension
has exceeded what the facts of the political
situation really justify; and to that extent
there Is recovery of confidence and an in
disposition to part with securities hastily.
The stock market however has now got
down to a safe trading basis; the fluctuations
will be more moderate than of late but never
theless quite -frequent fore the next three
months. There is still some difference If
and political conditions vary from day to
day with the facility of Kaleidoscope There
viii remain sufficient uncertainty up to the
day OF election, in all probability, SO sas to
cause a fuctuating stock market; but no
serious break is likely to occur below present
very low prices. There is no denying the
Adcs,s LoWeN peIHaI Affair &c Number a0f people
are COMPOUNDED by the -preplexities that have
been precipitated by the party platforms and
the party discussions. Old methods of esti-
mating the comparative strength of, the con
tending parties are untrustworthy under the
present conditions. The best skiIlrof1 political
managers is defeated by the prevailing con-
ifusieh;e and everything relating to parties is
IN state Of seeming transition. Under
such nneertaintiessdthe ssstoel1s market s4can
only be uncertain and tyaciHating. The normal
factors Affecting fyalless such as crcps,, fthe
weather, the earnings seefh railroads and the
condition of trade-no matter how favorable

is at the mercy Of the political sensations .ef.

vANDALs WITH DYNAMITE.
StambuIOff Tomb Again the Object
of Their Attack.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, Aug. 2.-The tomb
of M. Stambuloff, the ex-premier of
Bulgaria, who was assassinated in the
streets of Sofia in July last year, has
been seriously injured with a dynamite
bomb. Once before, in August last
year, M. Stambuloff's grave was made
the object of outrages by vandals, the
cross on the grave being broken, the
wreaths destroyed and attempts were
being made to exhume the body, when
the police interfered. A riot was caus-
ed at the grave Of the dead statesman
at the time the funeral ceremony was
going on, on July 20, of last year, by
his enemies and by the friends Of Maj.
Panitza, who had been executed by an
order Of M. Stambuloff while he was
premier. For some time after his bur-
ial, his grave had to be kept guarded
by military, so persistent were his
enemies in their attempts to wreak
insults upon the grave, and his widow
was equally the victim Of the malice Of
her husbands enemies in acts of per-
secution by Bulgarian officials against
members of her household.

1t is a great thing to win sixteen straight
games on ones own grounds, but it is much
greater to win eight straight on other peo-
pies grounds.
Now comes the tug Of war. st. Paul be-
gins series of three games at Detroit this
afternoon.
st. Paul still has thirteen games to play
before coming home, three at Detroit, three
at Kansas City, four at Milwaukee and three
at Minneapolis
The Apostles only have to win four of the
other thirteen games to break even on the
trip.
If Indianapolis should win two games today
and st. Paul lose one the HOLSTERS would
be on even terms with us again.
The Saints have f1fty-three more games
to play, twenty-six Of them at home and
twenty-seven away. Victory in half Of them
would pretty nearly give us the pennant.
We ought at least to be right in 1t for
the Detroit Free Press cup.
The record of the Apostles in the last
twenty-seven games Is a wonder. Twenty
four of them were victories.

Henry Clews' Review.


CHICAGO, Aug. 2,-The Times-Her+
aid, in it's grain review tomorrow, will
Say: The professional sentiment con-
tinuesJ rather lbullish on-wheat; obut the
absence of outside trade limits the
rallies. The floor traders, Influenced
by. the poor crop, reports, start a buy
ing movement, and have some effect
so long as Their buying cocintifities.
Just as soon as they stop, or try to
liquidate, the absence of outside buy
ing doses the market its rally. The
decline, however. does, not go far, be-
fore some new phase of the crop Sit
uation starts new rally. Last week
one side did about as well as the 9TH
er, there not being decline enough to
make much for the tbear,i nor rally
enough to satisfy the bull. Linn, Gu
daily, Brosseau, the Barretts, and
even Phillips were working most, of
the week on the long side. The short
side was played by some of the most
active of the pit operators, particu-
larly of the class which operates
against privileges. Stoner is the
leader of the bear contingent, but
presumably only in a scalping way
st. Louis is taking an active part on
the bull side, although it tries, to get
such little profits as present them
selves. The Northwest has been 7rath-
er bearish in it's trading. New York
is not taking an important share in
the market The foreigners are fur
nishing most of the bear news and is
on that side when active at ALL
The important, bull motive continues
the crop situation, the partial failure
of the winter wheat, and the moderate
prospect for the spring. The wet -har-
vest has been new complication

St. Paul al Detroit.
Minneapolis at Grand Rapids.
Kansas City at Columbus.
Milwaukee at Indianapolis, two games.
Special to the Globe
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Aug. 2.-St.
Paul grabbed off two more games this
afternoon, and by doing so placed
long lead between themselves and the
Indian team, which has been consid
cred a sure pennant winner. The
Saints played two snappy games, full
of life and ginger, batted the ball
hard, ran bases well, and were not
hindered in their victorious course by
any dumbheaded playing whatever. In
both games the Saints showed Grand
Rapids pretty pair of heels, and won
the first game with hands down and
the second in a drive. Parker pitched
the best of his games so far since he
has been a member of the local team.
Young Phyle, who off1ciated for the
visitors, was just sufficiently good to
hold the score down, though he pitched
himself into several holes, where a
little hitting might have changed the
whole course of events. The hits were
not forthcoming, however, and the
Saints left the city tonight with a
record of five wins in three days. But
for a base on balls by Denzer in the
first game the local team would have
been shut out. The young giant held
them down to six hits scattered
throughout as many innings, while the
hard hitters from the West landed on
Mcfarland hard and often, driving out
three home runs. The support given
him was, on the whole, excellent, but
the Victors landed on him for seven
hits, with a total of nine bases, in the
fifth inning, for three hits and seven
bases in the seventh for two hits and
five bases in the eighth, to say nothing
OF sundry hits in the opening chapters
This hit-getting was participated in by
every member of the visiting team.
The second game was closer, and the
score would have been to but for a
yellow and entirely inexcusable error
on the part OF the disgruntled Mills,
who, since he lost his popularity on
account of his poor playing, has given
up trying to play the snappy game of
old, and now contents himself with
complaining about the sun, about
Hodges throwing, which he alleges is
bad, and about sundry other things
TOO numerous to mention The error
gave the Saints a long lead, but as the
locals were not hitting Phyle, it had
no particular part in losing other than
taking the life and hope of winning
away from thS>1ocals. In the ninth
Inning, with two men out and three
on bases, Mcbride struck out and shut
OH all chance of making the game
closer than to 8. George and Shu-
CART led the hitting for the visitors in
the second game. Three hits and four
runs were made off Parker in the sew
enth inning after the side should have
been retired. Score:
