NEW YORK. August 1.-THE opening
Of the stock market was awaited with
considerable interest this morning owing
TO the severe decline of yesterday. Re
ports that speculative pools had liquidated
heavily and that important market in
terests were selling were colored to some
extent by the lack of support to special
stocks yesterday.
The market abroad. however, showed
little reflection of the weakness here yes
erday. and after early heaviness rallied.
so that when business commenced here
the comparative changes were slight. This
circumstance had an encouraging effect
on the local speculation. so that first
prices were not altered much from last
nights closing. though the tendency was
downward.
After a few minutes the bulls began to
buy cautiously. and, as they met no inn
portant pressure of stocks. grew holder.

The professionals then ranged them
selves on the short side and hammered
the list energetically, especially the metal
group. American Smelling broke rapidly

decline being accelerated by the execution

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. August 15.~The shorts
had a little scare at the opening today
when the list instead of continuing its
downward course of yesterday. as most
neonie believed It would on the evidence
OF yesterday's closing. showed fair
degree of nrmness. There are still
number of persistent optimists in the
market who hold the belief that 1t was
not entitled to anything like the reaction
Of Yesterday. but now that the reaction is
an ACCOMPLISHED fact they are trying to
make u.e Of II as an additional argument
for a higher market. They are not gen.
erally credited with having many follow
ers. however. as the theory that indus
trial conditions have been over discounted
seems to be gaining ground.
Preliminary estimates of the bank state
ment figures indicated that the banks
would have a larger supply OF cash on
hand than is customary at this time of
the year. Contrary to precedent the in
terchange of funds between the interior
and New York this week has actually
shown gain for this city: ins.e a'a,n VI ome
erations This and the gains from sub
treasury transactions should bring the
banks gain in cash up to nearly SoVV,-

The statement issued by the General
Electric Company of its orders received
and sales billed for the first half of 1903.
as compared with the first half of the
six years preceding shows very clearly
how far the industrial betterment has
been carried. That statement shows that
in every one of those years. except 1904,
the orders received have been far In ex-
cess of those now on hand. but the sales
billed, though greatly exceeded by those
of 1905 and 1907, are slightly larger than
those of any Of the other years.
