MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in Al!
the Leading Stocks.

New York Aug. 1.-The distinguishing
feature of today's stock market was the
marked subsistence of activity which has
been in progress all this week but which
reached condition almost of torpor, TO-
day. The movement of prices was also
few prominent stocks 1t is probable
that the reception given to the formid
announcement of the Rock Island plan of
conversion of its capital and reorganiza :
ton of the methods of control had some
thing to do with the pause in the specula-
ton. The project was discussed on all
sides and the discussion had the effect of
depressing speculative sentiment. Rock
Island itself fell to level 3% below last
night during the morning. Another dis
turbing influence was the renewed break
in Colorado Fuel, which went below 80.
After Rock Island and Colorado Fuel
quoted down and made some recovery,
there was an improvement in the general
market and few stocks became strong
and helped the general market. ST. Paul.
New York Central. the Local fractions,
Western Union and American Smelling
were amongst these. But the effect upon
the general market was very slight at
any time. Cabled reports showed easier
money conditions abroad at the passing
of the month end requirements and for
eign exchange was easier here. The fore
cast of the bank statement indicates q
decline in cash reserves of over two mil
lions. the loss by gold exports and sub
treasury operations of $4.S96,o00 having
been partly offset by receipts from the
interior on balances. The market closed
movement in Central of Georgia income
bonds, with a subsequent recovery. The
railroad bond market generally was dull
and irregular. Total sales, par value,
$l,6J0.00. United States bonds were un-
changed on the last call.

"One morning soon after the surrcn.
der at Appomlttox was one Of
group Of gentlemen standing on Penn

mentous questions Of the day. As we
talked General Grant rode toward US,
smoking his usual cigar. Recognizing
several of us. he dismOuuted and Joined
us.
"Whats the news! he asked.
II answered We are discussing a
piece of news which comes TO us d.
rectly from the White House and
which gives me no little concern
What is itT asked the general
81 understand that President An
drew johnson intends to revoke the
parole of General Lee and other gener-
ais OF the late Southern Confederacy.'
"'Who was your iuformantT asked
General Grant.
"I gave him the name OF the gentle.
man who had given the information.
General Grant quietly said. Thank
you, gentlemen remounted his horse
and rode rapidly away toward the
White House.
1--WE leisurely turned our steps IN
the same direction. and as we entered
the portico we saw Grant coming down
the steps looking more excited than
had ever seen him before. / went up
stairs and met friend who had been
in conference that morning with Mr..
johnson on the subject above men
toned. He said TO me: IT you have
any request TO make of the president
this morning, keep II until some other
time. He is angrier than l have ever
seen him. \ moment ago General
Grant strobe into his presence and per
emptOriy demanded, do you intend

er IL. Those paroles were signed by me
as general commanding the army Of
the United States. MY promise to them
shall be kept In good faith If It takes
the army of the United States plus the
