THE Markets
Wall Street Review.

New York, July S.-Somethlng very like
scramble to take profits at the end of
the day served to throw some discredit
upon the character of the days move-
ment In stocks, which reached consid-
cradle proportions and a semblance of
much more substantial character than
anything in the recent course of the
market. Spots of strength were more nu-
merous and dividend paying stocks WEI G
foremost in the trading. The orders
from single commission houses and the
Individual blocks taken of some high
grade railroad stocks fairly warranted an
Inference of investment buying. Such
buying was manifest in Now York Cen
trail and Chicago and Northwestern. This
probably had more than any one thing to
do with disspating the feeling of sus-
picion which has been persistently felt
towards the whole recent upward move
ment The reaction at the close of the
day revived these suspicious, and the
large proportion of the days buying or
ders, which were for western account,
kept alive the supposition that the
western contingent were actively ma :
pulating the market, in connection with
the renewed pressure upon the shorts IN
July corn. The special strength of St.
Paul was accompanied by revival of old
rumors of control of that property by
Union Pacific. The soft coal carriers
were taken on the demonstrated benefit
they are receiving from the paralysis of
the anthracite coal traffic. Thi'' move
ment embraced some of the common
stocks of Morgan congratulations, In
Guiding Southern Railway and Erie, but
the Readings and anthracite carriers gen.
orally were almost stagnant.
United States Steel fell nearly point
in the late dealings on the postponement
of the decision of the appeal of the suit
against the stock conversion plan, ana
on the beginning of Il new suit. This and
the sharp break in Colorado Fuel aggra-
waited the reaction and the closing was
easy. Today,s total sales of stock were
577,SO0 shares.
