NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE bears must
be conceded 10 have won the honors OF the
day IN todzy's stock market. Prices Were
never more than q fTacden above those or
last nights close during the day, except
In a few cases, and most OF the days sales
were made at q level quite sharply below
last nights close. The holders Of stocks
kept one eye on the wbeat market all day
and were keenly alive 20 the activity man
ifested IN that market and 10 the notable
decrease IN export demand for wheat on
account OF the high range OF prices reach
ed for that cereal. The first effect of this
was 70 impart oullness TO the stock mar
ket. owing 10 the determination Of holders
not TO sell at a low range. This dizziness
settled upon the market soon after tia
nights accumulation OF commission house
orders had been worked OF But the bear
traders took possession of the market IN
the absence of an active buying demand
They We're hampered IN their Efforts By
the existence Of buying orders on scale
down which have been placed Ia various
stocks. But The buying ceased on a mark
ed advance and this encouraged the bears
to persist, with the result that they finally
succeeded IL the shaking out OF large
amount OF weekly margin stocks and pre-
cipitated heavy offerings of the stop-ioss
order. These were quite readily absorbed
without rallyiag the market. There was
noticeable falling OF in commission house
buying and the total sales fell of another

considerably over 100 shares below the rec
ord OF any full day last week.

by reports OF damage TO the spring wheat

coaiers, the international stocks, and In
fact All Western railroad stocks were no.

The bond market was moderately active
and displayed considerable hrmness. Some
OF the usually neglected issues nuctuaied
quite widely, but the variations in the
speculative lines were restricted TO narrow
limits. The aggregate sales were sl5.eo
Government bonds eassd on slightly for
