FINANCE AND TRADE
Wall Street Was Fickle and
Feverish.
GREATLY DISTRESSEDBY CHIChGONEWS
Foreigners Keep Out of tho
Market.
NO SPECULATIVE FEATURES

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, July s.-The defeat Of gold
at Chicago yesterday and lower prices in
the London market resulted in feverish
and lower opening this morning. Foreign
houses were credited with a few insig-
nificant transactions only, the market re-
fecting the absence of a foreign demand
by decreased volume Of business and
fractional concessions in values.
There was no pressure to sell after the
first hour, the absence Of business alone
preventing Improvement. The delay In the
conventions proceedings at Chicago had a
tendency to restrict trading somewhat, but
the speeches made during the lapses In the
regular routine were generally conceded TO
strength the cause Of the opposition.
This fact, coupled with the belief that the
crisis OF the political situation will pass
with the dissolution of the convention has
discouraged a further extension of the
short account. This account has already
assumed unwieldly proportions. and a forc-
ed covering movement is relied upon TO es-
tablish moderately higher speculative
level This movement should follow al
most Immediately upon the adoption of the
platform and The choosing Of candidates.
The vulneretility of the principles in
do-sed and the incompetency OF he men
likely to be chosen is a decidedly encour-
aging feature of the political situation from
speculative standpoint. Conservative
Juuses Vi exlsllflg cOndlt1OnS see no OcSa-
sion for altering previously expressed opin-
ions as to the wisdom of discriminating
purchases during the dull period incident to
the midsummer season.
The transactions I'm American sugar
again attracted the attention of traders. a
sharp decline during the initial trading
giving way to liberal buying movement
by brokers usually acting for large inside
interests. The price Welded slightly from
the top level during the noon hour but the
demand from the short interest prevented
any material decline. There We're no new
developments on which TO base the move
n.ent. manipulation being resorted to al
heretofore during periods Of general dull
ness.
In the railroad list the net changes for the
day were confined to small fractions, and
represented the inconsequential operations
of the professional element. The volume OF
commission buying has dwindled to mini
mum proportions. and cannot reasonably
be expected to become factor until
The currency question is Invested of ex-
listing doubts. Irrelevant comparisons,
false reasoning and suicidal deductions
must eventually give way to simpler and
more accurate arguments, and when they
do speculative improvement will begin from
a logical foundation. The market for for
eig nexchange was dull. under a moderate
demand, with rates unchanged from yes
terday.
