an excellent transcript made on a type

working a newly invented machine. The

continuous strip of paper. and the aman-

are unlike those OF anv written short hand,
and remind one of the Morse telegraphic
code.

TRANSIT STOCK
HEAVILY TRADED IN.
ALL OTHER SECURITIES NEG
LECTED AND WEAK.
Bank and Trust Stocks Attracted
Little Attention and Were
Lower.

The effects of the long spell of torrid
weather on the local stock market was felt
more at yesterdays session OF the exchange
than on any previous day since the heated
term set in several weeks ago. This was
shown in the lack of interest taken in GER
tain stocks. the small number of orders on
the market to be executed, outside OF rail-
ways, and the fact that there were a large
number OF securities, that have heretofore
been considered as being on the active list,
that were not even quoted on the buying or
the selling side, while in several cases the
market value of these securities was lower.
The one particular 1ea.ure of the market
yesterday was Transit stock, for which
there we're heavy buying and selling oroels.
ana which Was dealt in TO the amount OF
LOO shares at $26.50, with that bid tor more
at the close anu s26.75 asked Little interest
appeared to be taken in the market for
railways outside OF the aforementioned
stock. Some Inquiry was made tor preferred,
but buy ing orders were small. sales for the
day amounting to ffty-seven snares only.
The market had strong undertone, howev-
toned lot, which was Il point UP for the
DAY, and at which the market closed buy
ere. and SO Sellers. The As were very quiet,
but one selling, and that brought $3.50, the
selling price curing the day.
Midsummer dullness continues to charac-
terize the market for local bank and trust
stocks. and prices where sales were made,
and a majority of the stocks quoted. were
largely lower than a week or two ago. when
everything was on the boom. This does not
mean that the financial institutions OF this
city are making less money. On the con-
trary it is still claimed that their earnings
are fully up to the standard. 1t Is
that the demand has fallen OF. chiefly be-
cause many wealthy investors. who are
accustomed to trade in these stocks are out
Of the city for the summer. Yesterdays
market was especially noticeable for the
dullness and weakness displayed in trust
stocks, which were off in price from Il to 3
points since the day before and were not
Traded in at all. There was one trade made
in bank stocks, and that was in 25 shares Of
National Bank Of Commerce, which sold at
$40. All ether stocks were dead dull and
