 As to the outlook, nothing can positive ly, of course be said. Alabama looks good. Coach Pollard is expected about September 1. Auburn threatens to unseat Alabama in the position of prestige that 1t assumed. Coach Keinholz will arrive within the next few days and begin work. Mike Donahue, as has been published. will not have charge another season. The outlook at Vanderbilt is peculiarly blue. The Commodores since their Michigan eX- periences, and since their victory over the Carlisle Indians, are trifie aloof. Their schedule embraces games with numerous colleges out of the south. Sewanee, Clen- son and the Georgia Tech will have rat ting good teams, the respective coaches intimate. Heisman will have the Tech squad on the campus by September F, and some sixty candidates will be in uni form.

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Prices Hold Moderately for Greater
Part of the Day,

New York, July 15-The volatile up
shoot of prices Of stocks and the fur
ious activity Of the trading of the first
hour to-day gave an impression Of vio-
lent speculative activity and of a stock
market revival such as had not been
seen for long time past. The sub
sidence of the activity after that was
SO abrupt as to be rather disconcerting
to the operators who were attempting
to follow the movement.
Shares sold in the first hour aggreg-
ated S0400O, while for the second hour
the total dropped to 1890 shares. The
animation Of the early dealing owed
something to the surprise of a short
interest, which had followed the abrupt
relapse Of the middle of last week and
was left uncovered when the favorable
bank statement ard the opinion formed
towards the Hartman report carried
prices upwards and alarmed the shorts.
In spite of last weeks gain of $6,02O.-
800 in the surplus reserves Of the banks.
that item stands at only S6,s77, 050,
which is the lowest for this date since
1893. The interior demand for the har-
vests is too near at hand to make this
q comfortable margin on which to I'M
dertake any extensive speculative acti-

week showed clearly the effect Of the
efforts Of borrowers here to secure re-
sources abroad. This movement seem

the stronger showing of the banks on

rose briskly, The absence Of French
competition for the gold arrivals in the
London market again aroused hopes
that the bank of France has completed

DULL IN AFTERNOON

It, was very plain on the street that
there was general distrust in regard
to Saturdays bank statement. One
question which was quite generally
asked was: IF last Saturdays state
ment rectffled that of the previous Sat
urlay, will not the next one reflect the
heavy loss of the banks to the Gov
ernment?" This remains to be seen.
The banks gained little Saturday and
yesterday from the sub-treasury, and
they are supposed to be gaining from
the interior. Furthermore, there is al
ways possibility that large amount
Of matured per cent bonds will be
turned In for redemption, thus increas-
ing the cash Of the banks.

In some respects the opening Of the
stock market resenbled that of week
ago, both as to activity and as to the
violent bidding up Of leading Issues.
Apart from Union Pacific, few stocks
were as high as last Monday. Trading
was very active for an hour, with total
sales of about 100000 shares. Then the
volume fell away to about $1,000 in the
second hour and there was but little
activity between IL and / o'clock The
inference to be drawn from all this was
that either the public showed but little
disposition to come in, or influential in
terests thought the rise had gone far
enough for the present. There was one
| difference between the early trading
and that of q week ago, There was
less selling by prominent interests than
week ago. Last Monday the men
who put up stocks pressed stocks for
sale with as much vigor as they knew
how, realizing that sharp break was
inevitable. Yesterday they were more
leisurely. and they seemed willing to
buy stocks on setbacks.
The market continued rather heavy
up to the close. Very little buying de-
veloped, but when bears tried In de-
pressing Union Pacific and United
States Steel supporting orders came in
and the decline was checked. One
