In an uproar, and a stampede to father

vented this by moving a recess for din

ton was made that nominated Seymour.

not therefore surprised when the first

20 minutes before the time for the pre-

taken up her position at the starting

FINANCIAL.
BULLS AND BEARS.
A Bad Bank Statement Shook tho
New York Market To-day.
Prices as q Rule Have Gone or for tho
Week Range Of Quotations.

wan Strect,Aug. 5.--An Unexpectedly
pad pank statement gave the final
touch to an already wabbling market
which has only been sustained FOR some
days by the vaulting OF the Tobacco
stock and Tennessee Coal and Iron.
Inc market was lfeless up 20 the
publication OF the Statement at half
past eisven. Then II went off with
cheerful unanimdty.
The weeks operations aside from the
holsting OF the industrials above re-
ierred To, have, since Tuesday been
marked by hesitancy punctuated by
IIsquent drives. Efforts TO depress
prices have not been sucC5 ssful but
they created feeling of doubt and un-
rest that made IL not difficult TO fore
see considerable letting so IL the ef-
Iorts OF the bears should be pushed
with determination. When a market
gets INTO the shape this one has as
sumed since Thursday the disposition
ol the average trader is 10 place a
protecting stop order and when the
market gets well filled with these pre-
Sautionary offerings IL is not usually
qIncult Tor the inside workers 10 reach
them and close out the trade or the
tlinorous operator even though there Is
no real purpose to bring about sefl-
GUS LIQUIDATION. 1t is likely, taxing
warning from the way the market has
sagget during the past three days, that
a good many such stop loss orders have
been placed for all the seeming assur-
ance offered by the upward campaign
in the Tobacco issues.
The situation does not necessarily
mean that there is TO be any change IN
the ultimate course of the market
which so many traders are convlnced
is TO be upward. On the contrary, re-
lieved of the overload Of long stock,
good shake oilt leaves the market clear
for another bidding up Of prices. on
the other hand there are traders VINO
have maintained all along that prices
are already too high and If any con-
siderable reaction results from the
weeks sag these will feel sure that
lower prices instead Of higher are TO be
made before the summer Is over.
For the first time since around the
first of June the week shows net loss
i'm the prices of standard and active
trading stocks by comparison with SAT-
urday last. This is shown by the tol-
lowing list of values in the shares that
have been active during the week:
