The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1900-07-18

Though fearful storms have swept in wrath
About thy toisome, rugged path,
And thou hast ofttimes been cast down
And sore dsmayed by fortunes frown,
Faint not but bravely bear thy part,
y fellow man; once more take heart.
The storm is followed by the calm,
And winters gales by airs OF balm,
Dark night gives place to sun.bright day;
Let hope still cheer thee on thy way,
Beyond the cloud still shines the sun;
Press on until thy work is done.

STOCKS AT A SRANDSTILL
Market Unsettled and Dealings
Light in Volume.
Weakness Derived From London
where GIoom Prevails O.er Hocr
Traders Expo s.ing Shortage in
Corn Crop-Sniis,ays Most Active.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The stock market
continued more or less unsettled today.
The dealings were in exceedingly light vol
ume and IN fact the market was occasion
ally at virtual standstill with the course
of the business session. Tue opening tone
of the trading was derived mainly from
London, where all quarters OF the market
were substantially depressed. Conscls
were weak and the losses in the American
quarter extended over one point. The
South African news and the gravity Of
the situation in China accounted for the
tone of the London market.
Western houses were heavy sellers of
stock in this market, and their operations
were accompanied by gloomy reports in
regard 10 the condition of the corn crop
These were not fully borne out by the
course of that staple in the grain market.
but it is evident that the long promised
threats that, following upon the spring
wheat crop. the market is to be treated
TO a scare as to the corn crop conditions,
are about to be realized
There was otherwise little news with
the course of the day and few develop
ments in the fundamental features of the
situation. The most important of these
was in the foreign exchange market,
Wnere tne sharp decline In francs lndl-
Gated the possibility of a resumption Of
gold shipments to Paris before very long.
Although the London market, and pai
ticularly the American quarter, was sharp
ly depressed. the operations here for for
eign account were upon very small scale.
with selling order slightly preponderatng.
In view Of the narrow limits OF the mar
ket, speculative interest was quite well dis
tributed. The trading continued heaviest
in the railway list, notably In the granger
shares, including Northern Pacific. Atchi-
son preferred. Union Pacific and Louisville
and Nashville.
The latter stock was particularly weak.
and recent market leaders, such as Norfolk
and Western. Chesapeake and Ohio. Balti
more and Ohio. were likewise reactionary.
The frmest features of the railway list
were New York Central, Pennsylvania, and
Missouri Pacific. but there was little ac-
tivity In these stocks apart from the last
named. The local traction shares and the
industriGis moved pretty much in line with
the remainder of the market. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and Sugar Refining furnished
the bulk of the dealings in this direction.

The stock market yesterday was excess
sively dull with business very small and
fluctuations within narrow limits. Neither
the bulls nor the bears can be said TO have
attained 10 anything like an advantage for
the day. II was remarked by shrewd OBJ,
servers OF the market however, that such
dullness at the top of an advance is usual
~ Indicative of an approaching reaction.
The professional buying demand subsidies
and the professionals sell out and go short,
giving their stocks to the newly awakened
bulls that always buy at the end of an
advance TIE immediate outlook is un-
certain, perhaps, but the chances seem to
favor a small reaction at least during the
coming few days. The news from China
grows blacker. and the possibility Of inter-
rational complications becomes greater.
The certainty that the Bryan boom has
collapsed becomes less certain. The stocks
bought when the Democratic platform was
made public were nearly all bought for
professionals and, these gentlemen. as has
been said now seem disposed to sell out.
The wider outlook. based on general con-
ditiors. must be considered good, but this
is the outlook that investors take into con-
sheraton 1t does not help people on small
margins who happen 10 buy at the end Of
g small professional boom.
The soft coalers. like the anthraciies,
are in high favor with many careful mar
ket people at present, owing TO the ex-
cellent condition of the trade and the
large export business that is now growing
up Norfolk and Western common stock
and Chesapeake and Ohio are influenced
by this consideration somewhat as well
as by dividend gossip. Both stocks are be-
leyed by many to be good investments at
present prices. The Norfolk road is secur-
ing large share Of the soft coal pXpOrf
business and its officers predict that this
traffic will continue TO increase. The earn
ings OF the company seem TO fully warrant
q dividend on the common stock and there
can be little doubt that at some time in
the near future. irrespective Of political
developments, the dividend Will be de-
