STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
spurt in Operations With Larger
 Total Than for Months Past.

New York. July le-The stock market to-day threw of It's lethargy and sprang into some degree of ener- ey and animation. The daYs trans actions rose to a larger total than has been touched for q month past
 There was no direct development in tho days news to account for the change in form and 1t was attributed 10 inference drawn by an element of speculative operators from the recent action of the market and which en- couraged an embareation on commit ments of some magnitude The feat
 ure most remarked for some time past has been the psucity of offerings of stocks at all stages. which left the price level little affected in spite of the almost absolute stagnation of the demand From this lt was deduced that lt would be easy to advance prices by well directed effort and a moderate accumulation of holdings. Such an accumulation was evident to- day, accompanied by determined bid ding up of prices in It's wake, often renewed after occasional pauses, which demonstrated that the supply of stocks offering at the advanced levels was still scanty II did not ap- pear that there was any growth of general outside demand for stocks. A feature of the days dealings was the large orders coming from single sources, the number of buying orders for 10000 shares and upwards In diff ferent stocks attracting much notice
 Tn the bond market there was per ceptible some buying that was believ- ed to come from investment sources
 and this although In moderate vol ume. was regarded with satisfaction
 The argument was heard, Tn behalf oi the rule, that the resistance of the market 10 the small demand and the uncertainties in the outlook, had dem
 onstrated the likelihood that tho clearing up Of uncertainties would be followed by rise With the arriva
 of the week for the democratic con. vention and the definite foreshadowins of its choice 1t was believed that some share of the hesitation in hnancia
 affairs growing out of the doubts ovel the political future would be dissipat
 ed, with the factors In the contes
 more definitely presented. Money markets both here and abroad gave evidence of the renewed relaxation

WALL STREET NOTES Stocks Show Greater Activity, Due, Perhaps, to Pool
 Operations. BONDS RELATIVELY DULL Bear Element Buying Up Smelting-- Movement Against the
 Shorts.

Right from the start stocks showed a more active tendency. with total of 320,000 shares for the first three hours. compared with 42,000 on Frt- day. There was no particular reason for this, except perhaps a resumption of pool operations, which were more manifest than for a week past Union Pacific. Reading, Northern Pacific, Reading, Northern Pacific, United States Steel, and American Smelling were the leaders the last named ad- vancing I points by 1 o'clock, and the others showing gains of ] to ? l-2. That stocks should advance SO sharply in the fact of a further rise in grain was curious, and many were unable to account for it. The way In which the stock market held the advance in the last hour gave general satisfaction. It tended to create the impression that there Is substantial buying back of the rise and that financial interests think the general outlook Is fairly satisfac- tory. Bonds were relatively less ac- tive than Friday. though stock deal ings were many times larger than Fri day.

 The sharp rise in grain was gener- ally attributed to a broad demand and smallness of cash supplies, rather than crop damage news.

.Burnum started out for the visitors
and pitched a good game for six
innings. He loosened up a mite in
the sixth inning and a single coupled
with pair of free tickets to first
caused Larry Milton to succeed him

Topeka didn't do a thing to Mr..

an error by Left Fielder Pease netted
the locals four runs and the game.
That was all Milton allowed the To-

WHERE THEY PLAY TOMORROW

Springfield at Topeka.
{ Webb City at Joplin.
Enid at Wichita. z-...i ~ ~
Hutchinson at Oklahoma City.
The Springfield Mfdgets are due to
open up at the local park this after
noon. The Midgets have much
stronger team than last season and
several former Topeka players will ap-
pear in the Midget lineup. Cole, Muir
ray and Lawler compose the outfield
of the Midgets. The Midgets did not
make very good showing against the
Joplin Miners, however.
The locals seem to be the hoodoo
team Of the year this season. In addi-
ton to being outlucked in the first two
games Of the season, they had a
bad day yesterday and Manager Cooley
is out several hundred dollars on &C
count Of the poor crowd. Luck can't
be against the locals long, however.
Umpire Podge Alloway must be
about the limit this season At least
he was so raw a few days ago in Ok
lahoma City that Runkel was benched
for disputing his decisions. Runkel has
managed to hold his place in many
serious situations and when he opens
his mouth to protest against decision

Page who pitched for Oklahoma City
awhile last season and who tried out
again this season has received a small
package OF tinware with the compli-
msnts OF Manager Jack Mcconnell.
Jay Andrews has sold Fleming who
played third for Joplin last season to
the Marion Ind, team for $125. Joplin
traded Fleming along with Persch and
Westcott for Eddie Noyes.
Earl F1eharty who pitched for Hutch
inson and was sold to Cincinnati, has
been sold to the Birmingham team in
the Southern league and is making
good. Cincinnati still retains a string
to him. Fleharty was pronounced a
gold brick two years ago when Spencer
Arthur Abbott purchased him from the
o. A. K. league. He didn't make much
of a showing the first year as he was
a backward, bashful youth then. He
Is better now and the Salt Packer
magnates are willing to retract every
mean thing they have said against
Spencerino.
Harry Cheek has been unfortunate
during the Webb City practice season
on account of sore foot. 1t was a
nalady somewhat similar to blood
poison Out HAIRY, the pluCky little
player that he is. has done all the
catching for Milton.
Brick Owens is back umpiring in
the American association. Brick is
about as good minor league umpire
as there is in the country and he will
reach the majors in due time.

base during the practice. "Circus
