Prices Run IrreguIarly.

NEW YORK. Aug. 3-Noon-The
course of prices in the stock market to-
Gay has rsIn irregularly. Some seeuri-
ties have made gains over yesterdays
closing prices Of more than q point, and
others show equal losses. Stocks show
ing strength are certain specialties.
while the old-time leaders are inclined
toward dullness and lower prices
The minor steel industrials and Brook
lyn Rapid Transit are strong, and Union
Pacific and Steel common have been
fairly firm. Reading fell off in the early
trading nearly a point and half, and
has been slowly strengthening since that
time. Southern Pacific receded half a
point. and has been weak most Of the
morning.
The market is mostly professional in
the trading, and the volume of busl-
ness is not heavy. News was not of
q very stirring nature, and possibly con-
tributed 10 the feeling Of apathy which
has hung about the Stock Exchange all
the morning.
It was stated at the Wall street Of
fee of Mr.. Hartman that unless pres
ent plans are changed he will be in
New York on September 10 1t was also

steal condition is better than il has been
