WALL STREET REVIEW
BUSINESS WAS ON A REDUCED
 SCALE.
General Disposition to curtail Opera tions Pending Settlement of the Great Steel Strike.
 Bonds are Quiet.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Busness today
 was on a redued sale and there was a
 more general disposition to curtail opera tions pending the settlement of the steel a general extension of the strike order
 caused some hesitancy at the outset in
 the general market, but aside from
 sharp dip at the end of the first hour
 and again toward the close, the tendency
 was distinctly upward throughout. The
 ina! prices were about the best for Atchi-
 son. St. Paul. Union Pacific and Southern Ps cffic which accounted for the most ac-
 tive dealings in the railroad division. Re-
 ports have tcen current for ''everal days
 rSst of fixed price at which the nfted
 States Steel stocks would not be allowed to break by the alleged pool behind the stock. This level was exceeded narly Tn
 the week and spectators generally inter- ested in watching the opening in the stocks this morning. When 5000 shares or
 the common stock came out on a scale
 down to 39ss and a figure was made of S9
 for the preferred, representing losses of
 each, support was imme diately forth
 coming and a rumor gained currency that
 the level for the day was fixed at 3s&
 ators made but feeble efforts to depress
 the stocks in the subsequent dealings and
 were more inclined to bid up the general
 list on the theory that the backing 70 the
 steel issues would have a sustaining eff
 feet O nall other properties. Whether this
 supposition was correct or not or because
 the short interest had been unduly ex-
 tended fin the railroad list, the fec re- mains that all of the grain carrying roads showed conspicuous strength at various times. No doubt grangers were helped by the rise of about a cent in wheat, out tt- chison improvement could not he directly traced consistently to the fluctuations to corn, which was higher. Business in the United States Steel stocks was on even a | smaller scale than yesterday, but moved pretty steadily upward, touching 4OA and %. respectively, and ended at the highest of the day. A number of minor railroads made somewhat sensational advances. the extreme rise in Lake Erie and Western. common and preferred. being S@1O, Iowa Central. common and preferred, 31aQ512 | and Et. Lawrence and Adirondack 63s. No news attended the upward movement | in these stocks aside from the placing or
 the latter on a per cent. dividend basis. without any special change and the fiuc- comparatively moderate limits. Some weakness developed early in the coalers | on talk of renewed dissatisfaction among mine workers. but their losses were can celled later on except for Lackawanna, | which ended points off Monetary con- ditions were unchanged, but sterling ex- change was stronger, demand bills being held rigidly at 4SS There are no pros- poets for gold shipments this week in Germany. In the closing dealings prices were on the upturn again and the ending was very firm.
 Railroad bonds were quiet and some- | what irregular. Total sales (par value). l $1, ,140, ,0OQ.s
