pletely bewildered the members of
the opposing team. All who saw the
game fully realize that Miss German
is a much better ladies' man than
ball player and manager. During
the past week Miss German has ma
terially strengthened her team by the
addition of recruits from the hos
pital and will again attempt to de-
feat the big-chested Roughnecks in a
game on the same grounds at 10
o'clock this morning. The Rough
neeks lineup will be unchanged as
all players are well qualified to hold
down their respective positions.
Just what changes will be made in
the Mutt" aggregation will not be
known until the time of the game as
German is too crafty a "generaless'
to leave himself open for attack be-

STOCK MARKET
CLOSES DULL
(E. w. HuIse g. Cos. Market Letter

IL. w. Hutse n COS. Market IetteF.1
The month of August was ushered
out in market circles in a dull and
undressing fashion and this has
been the course of the curb trading
throughout the past week. Light
offerings and seant public demand
for securities have been the rule and
consequently price fluctuations have
not been great. The situation
continues to be a waiting one
and meanwhile the various things
that are holding a damaging in
fluence oyer the market are gradual
ly adjusting themselves and righting
conditions for an improved fall mar
ket. A considerable professional
short interest has again appeared
which but has the effect of placing
the market in an improved technical
position as these shorts will have I o
be filled later and their filling will
be al aid TO the attainment of higher
prices. Politics have again played
an important part in the weeks
trading and more than ordinary at
tention is being paid the western
tour Of Ex-President Roosevelt by
the habitues of the financial centers.
Nothing has occurred as yet political
ly that would really threaten values
but the fact that trouble has been
looked for along these lines has left
sentiment decidedly unsettled. The
near future should prove a solution
of this problem and the end of the
long period of depression that has
been experienced must shortly be
reached. Our quotations follow:
