THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Aug. s.-The stock mar
ket was a dull affair for the greater
part of today, drifting aimlessly with
in q narrow range. Some strength was
shown by few isolated stocks
throughout the day under influence
which was not disclosed by any pub
lished news. This persistent strength
in some spots seemed to arouse the
acprehensions of the bears in the last
hour of the market, The manner in
which prices were marked up in the
late dealings indicated a good deal of
a scramble by the shorts to cover their
contracts and awakened more appear
ance of animation and strength than
has been seen in the market for some
time. The higher prices for Americans
made in London were without much
effect and they were for the most part
nominal and London sold from 10000
to $4,000 shares here after the opening.
Strength kept cropping out at new
points as the day progressed. There
was early strength in Anaconda and a
few of the specialties, but a period OF
reaction followed under realizing in
Tobacco and Kansas City. Pittsburg
and Gulf. Then the Minneapolis and
~ '<cuio SlOChS IOSe OH ana ga re-
respectively.
There was a late movement in the
coalers which lifted them from / to
21s, with a notable effect on the whole
list Other stocks showing notable
gains were Consolidated Gas, Az, and
Pacific coast second, preferred, 25s;
Tennessee Coal, Colorado Fuel, Peo-
pies Gas, Brooklyn Transit, Steel and
Wire, American Linseed Oil preferred
and a few less prominent stocks ad-
Vanced a point. A very strong upward
movement in Sugar from 159s to 1924
was the decisive influence in the late
strength of the market. which closed
active and strong at net gains in near
ly all cases. Total sales, 2S7 100.
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
tirsts reacted in sympathy with the
stock. Otherwise changes were small
and mixed. Total sales par value, ST.
800 900.
United States bonds unchanged on
bid quotations.

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE WINS.
Defeated Walla Wahs at Athletic
Park Yesterday Afternoon.

In loosely-played game at Athletic
park yesterday afternoon, the st.
Thomas College team defeated the
Walla Wahs by a score of to Z. So
much time was consumed in wrang-
ling and delays that the game was
not over until $50 o'clock.
When amateurs advertise a game
for $3.50, and charge admission, they
should remember that the people who
pay to see their games become dis
gusted with delays and disputes, and
it Injuries the game.
The features of yesterdays game
were dimmed by the loose playing on
both sides, and to enumerate either
would consume too much space. The
detailed score follows:

CLEVELAND CAR STRIKE.
Militia Leaves the City-Lines of the
Road in Operation.

Cleveland, Aug. S.-The last company
of militia left the city today, the au-
thorities having decided that there is
little probability of any further trouble
in connection with the street railway
strike. SO far as the strike itself is
concerned there is not the slightest
sign that 1t is any nearer settlement
today than when it was inaugurated.
AS a result of the organized tight
against the boycott by the wholesale
and retail merchants it is rapidly los
ing its effectiveness and apparently
will, in the course of a couple of days,
be a thing of the past.
The Big Consolidated continues to
operate all Of it's lines with non-union
men, the cars in many cases being well
filled with passengers.
