THE STOCK MARKET.
BEARS CARRIED OFF THE H0NORs
or THE DAY.
Dizziness Ruled and Prices Were
Never Much f,etter Than the Close
of the Day PREVIOUS.

New York, August 1.-THE bears must
be considered to have won the honors OF
the day in today's stock market. Prices
were never more than a fraction above
those of last nights close during the day.
except in a few cases. and most of the
days sales were at level quite sharply
below last nights closing The holders
of stocks kept one eye on the wheat
market and were keeniy alive to the heav-
mess manifested In that market and to
the notable decrease In the export de-
mand The first effect of this was to i'm
part dulness 20 the stock market. owing
10 determination OF the holders not to
sell at the low range. This dullness set
tied upon the market soon after the
Nights accumulation Of commission house
orders had been worked of. But the
bear traders took possession of the mar
ket IN the absence Of an active buying
demand and sold IL down TO catch stop
orders. There was a noticeable falling
oil In commission house buying and the
total sales fell of another 1900 shares
hcio" yesterd ty's record and considerably
over a hundred Thousand shares below
inc record OF any future day last week.
The bond tralsactiors were also in very
much diminished volume. The average
net decline In the prominent railroad
stocks Is over point and In Individual
cases is considerably more. The fall was
assisted by reports OF damage 10 the
spring wheat crop AID prices for Amer
leans iD London were decreased on these
reports and on the belief that the mini
mum rate OF discount would be raised
above per cont by the Bank OF England
The grangers. the coalers, the interna-
tlonal stocks. and in fact all Western
railroad stocks. were notable sufferers
Northern Pacific preferred being a drug
on the market ali day. Louisville and
Nashville, Atchison preferred, Missouri
Pacific and Union Pacific were also active
In late selling movements. Notable de-
clines were also shown IN Sugar and To-
baccO. Lake Shore jumped points In
the early dealings, to 17SA. which is q
new high prise record. but the gain was
mostly lost In the final transactions. Bur.
llngton shows a net decline OF ~. the
heaviest less In the grangers. New Jer-
sey Central lost a. Reading first pre-
ferrcd rs and many others a point or
less.
The market was moderately active and
displayed considerable flrmness. Some of
the usually neglected issues fuctuated
quite widely. but the variations In the
speculative lines were restricted 10 mar
row limits. Aggregate sales. 81, 425.oco
