Incidentally. the fact is noted that Har-
riman is to have a conference with the
Chicago Subway fnanciers. and as he is
reputed TO be "a practical man." they
are wondering Il to-days interview IS in
the nature Of g little salt for the tai Of
some Chicago bird OF finance

Hartman upon being requested 70 ex-

New York. Aug S.-The market to-das
displayed the same characteristics as dur
ing the greater part Of last week, num-
Der Of issues moving up. while a greater
number. and among these many Of the

Leather and L. 5. Rubber were the most
conspicuous features Of the Industrial

small price changes. except in the case
CT Amalgama,ed Copper. in which the
first transactions showed an advance OF
IL points az the start The initial quo
tations were as rule. followed by lower
prices. and during the hrst hour the
tendency was generally toward a lower

figures.
Toward noon, there was q rally THAI
brought most Of the active issues back

another recession and finally a fairly Wig
orcUs rise just before the close, as a
result Of which there was hardly any
difference between opening and closing
quotations in the trading in the stocks
Of greatest Importance
Reports of Crop Damage
The main influence IN the trading came
from the reiterated reports Of unfavOr-
able weather and damage 20 the growing
crops. and. considering the extent 10
which these stories were sustained by an
advance in the wheat PIT, the prices Of
securities held up better under attack

IN conservative quarters the opinion was
expressed that the reports OF damage Q
wheat and corn from drought were eZ-
aEgerated. and the fact JraI the WeS,

probably significant
Time money was a shade easier, except
for periods running over the end Of the

Gated IN the report OF bank cIearings
