NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-Specuiative con-
ditions that were described last week
have had their logical effect upon the
dealings in stocks. From the point Of
view of professional traders the transi-
tion from activity, resulting from ag-
gressive manipulation on the long side,
to dullness and irregularity, and in
many cases to lower prices, has been
slow. It is now plain that when the
transactions averaged fully million
shares day the so-caIled Western con-
tingent and other operators bent on
making turn upon the long side of the
market disposed OF large part of their
holdings, thus converting their profits
TO cash.
AS the operators referred TO are as
restless as any of their predecessors it
is not reasonable to suppose that they
will be contented for long time with
such a condition of affairs as existed
today They may endeavor TO bring about
further depression with the view of re-
covering at advantageous figures some
of the stocks they have sold, but, as
they are in close touch with the crop
situation in the great cereal producing
sections Of the West, they may allow
their enthusiasm over those conditions
to influence their judgment in making
new ventures in securities

Manhattan a Feature.

The stock market was saved from
comparative stagnation by unusual ac-
tivity in Manhattan Railway at a net
advance of 2sl points. The other local
fractions, particularly Brooklyn Rapid
Transit, moved in sympathy with it. The
Manhattan moveme' was based on the
New York mayors statement that the
New York Central contemplates erect
ing a new passenger station above the
Harlem.
All of the railway shares that have
recently been active were comparatively
neglected The heaviest was in Norfolk
and Western. which. after a further
fractional advance. reacted TO within
shade of the final price of yesterday
The others fluctuated within narrow
limits and the net changes were unim-
portant.
The market for them simply reflected
the constantly changing views of board
room traders. The only noteworthy
fluctuations were a few of the less ac
tive shares, notably in Rock Island.
which sustained a net loss of 2A points.
The securities of the new Rock Island
Company, delivered when issued, were
traded in on the curb for the first time
the bonds at 30. the preferred stock at
IS, and the common stock at 46. The
stock on which the new securities are
to be based sold at 1909 i90is.
