Stocks and Bonds

New York, Aug. IA materiai
broadening out in speculation was d
gradual process in todays stock mar
ket, the early trading showing only ir,
regular strength and considera BILE hes
itation The growth in speculative,
confidence had as its underlying basis
the government report on the condi-
tons of the grain crops, but even
amongst the railroad stocks imme-
diately affected by the promise Of
great crops to be moved the early
movement was irregular and hating.
Before the day was over the irreg
ular character of the market was re.
paired to a large extent and fairly
comprehensive advance had been
achieved by the process of rotation
from one point in the market t.
another. High priced investment
stocks were still a feature and the sem
sational movements in this class ex-
ceeded in number and extent anything
witnessed in the stock market within
the memory of man.
The usual profit-taking on the days
advance unsettled the late market, but
there were rallies which carried last
prices for some stocks to the highest
of the day, but left the closing irregu-
lar
