MARKET YESTERDAY
DULLEST OF YEAR

Cause of Great Caution.

While Cash and Surplus Reserves

fBy Assoc,sted Press. i,

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-There was no
influence at work in to-day's stock mar
ket, and the rate Of activity fell away to
about the dullest of the year The clos
ing Of the London Stock Exchange was
only a slight factor in the dullness The
consideration Of the future of the local
money market was a more effective con-
Bideratioa. Last weeks loan increase has
brought the loans OF the New York Clear
lighthouse banks to a total of over 1919 :
100000 which is S41, 100000 in excess OF
those of a year ago. Deposits are only
about million greater, but the cash re-
e year ago, and the surplus reserves
about eight millions less But the condi-
ton of the New York trust companies is
OF greater Importance now than ever be-
fore, in estimating the money situation,
their deposits on June Both OF SIbO.ep.ovo

The enormous expansion OF the ousl-

the cautious feeling which gains force

After greetings were exchanged large
tub Of water on which apples foated,
was placed in the center of the hall and
each young man was requested to take
out an apple with his teeth. Inside he
would find the name Of the young lads,
who would later run with him potato
race, This offered much amusement,
particularly when one man found the
names of nine girls in his apple and an
other was told to "try again.
The race took place on the long piazza
and the girls proved themselves heeter
of foot and steadier Of hand than the
boys. Later. refreshments were served
in the dining room. af.l- which the
merry party said goodnight amid
hearty expressions of pleasure
On Tuesday August 9Th the Misses

on a. picnic to Lock Lilly-N. c., in honor
Of their guests.

fallen frequently in this southern section
OF Halifax. but they have been light and
