STOCK MARKET REVIEW. Conviction That Reaction Was Over
 due Brings on Reaction.

New York, Aug 1.-The stock market to-day had more distinct re- action than has occurred for many days. The recent rise starting early in July has been remarkable for It's freedom from the usual backsets and pauses which usually characterize a speculative movement The conyic- ton that reaction was overdue had more to do with to-days reaction than any news of conditions. The selling which carried prices downwards was as concentrated as much of the buy ing which was preceded Sales of a single stock by one house of as much as 25000 shares were reported. Sell ing of this kind looked as though the heavy operators recently leaders of the advance were the ones that were taking their profits, Notwithstanding the influence of this seeming fact. the absorptiNe power of the accident was good and the downward movement gave every indication of being in good control Buying and bidding up of separate stocks was employed to sus- tain the list and to act as drag on the decline Northern Pacific was the conspicuous instance of this kind and showed marked strength even when the general market was the weakest The sensational stage al which the cam paign for the rise has arrived and the advertising devices used to foster if were the cause of some uneasiness and aroused suspicion of the artificial nature of the strength of stocks of late. The fact that the reaction was especially sharp in some of the stocks most exploited in the advertising cam paign was pointed to as evidence that attempts were being made 10 dispose of speculative holdings to meet such demand as is attracted by the tumult, A contributing factor to weakness of some of the most conspicuous of these was a reaction in the price of copper warrants in London, after successive advances for many days. There was the same informal discussion of the speech of acceptance by the demo- cratic nominee for the presidency as was the case with his opponents speech and the same weighing of its possible effect on the speculative position, Some of the selling of stocks was as- cribed to this cause. London joined in the selling Speculative liquidation was pushed up to the close of the days session and closed prices at the lowest of the day

WALL STREET NOTES Stocks Reactionary, With Con- stant Though Orderly
 Decline. MAYBE TOO MUCH LAWSON Idle Cars More Active on Pennsylvania Rnilroad--Northern Pacific Strong
 Without Reason.

Throughout the morning stocks were reactionary, with a good many H. quidating sales in the main stocks--in- cluding United States Steel and the grangers. It was estimated that two firms sold 30,o0o shares of Steel com mon between them, single block Of 10000 shares coming out at 1T 1-2 on the way down from 4S. Losses of 1 to l-2 points were sustained prior to mid-day. During this time a few ls- sues. such as Northern Pacific. were held firm, with a view to checking the decline. Lowest prices of the day were seen in the last nour. but the decline was very orderly" and the liquida- ton was on no larger scale than dur ing the early part of the day North ern Pacific continued to be firmly held. as support 70 the general list. But the metal Issues were weak and Union Pacific and Reading were among the weakest. From the looks of things, banking interests were encouraging speculative liquidation. There was reason to believe that most of the sell CTS were margined traders. The bear party was also active and put out some stock.

When the market was breaking some old traders said it looked like too much Lawson" Others contended that 1t was a perfectly natural reaction fol- lowing prolonged rise. There was no news to account for the selling. but the idea prevailed that 1t was in an- tictpation of the Bryan letter and the uncertainty that might develop when the document was given out. The de- cline here had marked effect in London where our stocks were weak on the failure of the expected support from this side. Some of the local wire houses did good deal of business on the decline.

Just why Northern Pacific was so strong, in the face of decline elsewhere, was not clear, but the most palpable explanation Is that it was used to keep the market within bounds. On previ- ous occasions certain stocks have been used to check the decline-trnited States Steel common being most fre- quently the one selected.
