New York Stock Market

New York, August 7.-Business today
was on a reduced scale and there was
a more general disposition to curta1l
operations pending the settlement of
the steel strike. The announcement
over night Of a general extension of the
strike order caused some heSitancy at
the outset in the general market. but,
aside from a sharp dip at the end OF
the first hour and again toward the
close, the tendency was distinctly up
ward throughout.
The final prizes were about the best
for Atchison. st. Paul, Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific, which accounted
for the active dealings in the railroad
division. Reports have been current
for several days past Of a fixed price
at which the United States Steel stocks
would not be allowed to break by the
alleged pool behind the stock. This
level was exceeded earlier in the week
and spectators generally were inter-
ested in watching the opening in the
stocks this morning. When 5000 shares
Of the common stock came out on
scale down to $685. and a figure was
made Of 50 for the preferred, represent
ing losses Of % each, support was i'm
mediately forthcoming and rumor
gained currency that the level for to-
day was fixed at 39A and SO re-
spectively.

BILE efforts to depresS the stocks in the
subsequent dealings and were more in
clined to bid up the general list on the
theory that the backing to the Steel
issues would have a sustaining effect
on all other properties. Whether this
supposition was correct or not, or be-
cause the short interest had been un-
duy extended IN the railroad list, the
fact remains that all of the grain
carving roads showed conspicuous
strength at various times. No doubt
the grangers were helped by the rise
of about cent in wheat, but Atchi-
sons improvement could not be direct
ly traced consistently to the huctua-
tions in corn which was higher.
Business in the United States Steel
stocks was on an even smaller scale
than yesterday, but they moved pretty
steadily upward, touching 40Z and 90
respectively and ended at the highest
of the day. A number OF minor rail-
roads made somewhat sensational ad-
vances. the extreme rise in Lake Erie

Cotton Futures.

New York, August THE market
for cotton futures started weak, with
prices lower. The shorts We're conf
dent. as natural result of recent de-
cided successes: the bulls were salts
fed that an advance in the imm ediate
future was very unlikely and that, un-
der the circuntSta unloading was
the order of the day. The influences at
work were strikingly bearish; in fact,
there was little upon which to base full
convictions. Liverpool broke ) to 5k
points instead of the points only due
on our closing of yesterday. The crop
adviceS were much more encoura g1nS
than in sometime The weather con
dition averaged up favorably, though
Texas continues dry and demand for
spot cotton was slow at best.
The first prices showed declines Of 3
to II points. which was increased after
the call to Is points on the December
option, which sold down to 40. This
break uncovered a number of stop
loss orders. the execution of which and
the presence Of local. southern and
Liverpool selling made the low prices.
On the break, the professional opera
tors turned heavy buyers, particularly
the shorts, who were active in securing
their profits. The market rallied to 5
points soon after the opening on tfis
buying, but only to break again into
the low level mentioned on the posting
Of fuller details regarding the extent Of
the rain. On the second break houses
who were identified with the bull move
ment during June and July in the July
and August options. and who sold out
three weeks ago turned up heavy buy
ers. Their purchases absorbed all the
offerings and prevented any further
break, and, later, had such a steadying
influence on the general market that
the selling movement ceased and prices
rallied to points from the low quo
tations mentioned and thereafter held
steady on about that basis during most
of the afternoon.
The last hour witnessed feverish va
riations with sentiment favoring cur
tailment OF short accounts rather than
further bear operations pending receipt
of tomorrow's cables. The close was
quiet with prices net to points lower.

Weldon and its vicinity have just
been visited by one of the heaviest
rain storms ever before reported. Be
tween the hours Of o'clock yesterday
afternoon and o'clock this morning
the rainfall measured 5.21 inches,
enough for a month. The streets and
sidewalks were badly washed, and wa
ter ran into many Of the stores on the
principal business street of the town.
The storm was even more severe at
Roanoke Rapids. The large two-story
brick building owned by DR.. D. B. Zol-
hconer was unroofed. The building
was occupied by the Roanoke Mercantile
Company and the Roanoke Pharmacy,
the stocks Of goods Of both firms were
considerably damaged by water. The
firms estimate their damages at $500
each or more.
The indications are that there will
be a heavy freshet in Roanoke river.
The bridge men at work here, putting
in new iron bridge for the Seaboard
Air Line, fear that the false works will
be swept away should the river reach

false works be washed away the bridge
company would lose quite heavily. as
the bridge builders have been engaged
