CASH MOVEMENT INCREASES
(Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The stock
market today disclosed its narrow linn
itations under conditions as they exist.
The sharp rebound of the day before
seemed to exhaust the demand from the
shorts, and there was none forthcom-
ing of a more positive nature. While
there was no renewal of the urgent
selling which has aroused the suspicion
of forced liquidation from time to time,
there was pressure of stocks for sale
to realize profits on the rebound of
yesterday. Sales were in moderate vol
ume but the demand had become so
feeble and languid that no absorptiVe
medium was provided, and prices gave
way. Before the close of the day the
requirements of the shorts asserted
themselves again and caused a recov-
cry of most of the days declines,
The news offered no striking changes
in conditions bearing on values. The
growing crops hold q large share of at
tention. Early reports of more high
temperatures in Texas as were sched-
uled by assertions that cloudy and cool
weather had developed there.
The money market offered nothing to
supply the Oppressive influence on
stocks. Movement of cash into New
large scale The gain for the week of
S4.1S3, 900 on sub-treasury operations is
helped by large deferred payments from
the assay office for gold arriving from
London. Additional shipments are ar
irving and yesterdays engagement or
over $4,000 900 in London remains to go
into account. An existing actual sur,
plus reserve of upward OF $50,000,OOO'
computed from last Saturdays actual
surplus of over $47,000,000, seems war
rantable assumption from these figures.
The Withdrawals of gold had the erect
of hardening the private discount rate
on London, but the excess values OF
loans on time in New York over London
remains so wide that continued move
ment OF gold is indicated. e-.-.--
good impression was made by the
reported assertions of Chicago bankers
that the balances of country banks IN
the western reserve centers are belns
largely replenished as result of the
liberal movement of wheat to market
study in detail of the banks returns to
the controller affords reassurances as
to the reserve position of the country
banks, which are responsible for the
loan expansion of three months pre-
ceding June 80
Rumors of price cutting of steel prod
ucts by independents we're accompanied
by a suppostion that the United states
Steel corporation would meet the cuts.
The selling of United States Steel was
a decisive influence in the general list.
The rally in that stock afforded CORE
sponding relief The dealings in it.
Union Pacific and Reading accounted
for over half. the days business,
Ronds were irregular. Total sales,
mar value, $1,444,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.

them, the women held indignation
meetings and determined to defeat the
men at the election. sex war was
fought to a finish, in which mere man
was routed.
The women voted to increase the
number of school trustees from one to
three and then proceeded to elect
women to fill these offices, as well as
those of clerk and treasurer.

BLACK EYE FOR
INSURGENCY
Indiana Republicans of the First Dis
trict Denounce the News
papers Which Fly False
Flags.
BEvERIDGE IGNORED
President Taft Endorsed and the
Payne-AIdrich Tariff Bill Was
Praised at the
Convention.

BONNEVILLE, Ind, July 15.-Insur-
gency was given black eye by the
Republican First District conference
Former United States Senator
James. A. Hemenway, who was
permanent chairman, and former Con-
gressman James e. Watson. strong
supporters of the Taft administration
and political enemies of Senator
Beveridge, made red-hot standpat
speeches before resolutions were
brought in. Watson denounced insur-
gent newspapers, which float Repub-
lican mast heads. Resolutions were
adopted unanimously. President Taft
was strongly indorsed, and the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill was praised.
Hemenway wa slauded for his Repub-
lican services. Senator Beveridge
was given short paragraph, which
said: "Beveridge was a brilliant
orator and deserves commentator
for his statehood bill and his efforts
to prohibit child labor. He was a
broad-minded and clean-handed man.,
The resolutions pledge the nominee
to vote for improvement of the Ohio
River This was another blow at
Senator Beveridge, as he opposed the
bill in the senate. Former Senator
Hemenway was in complete control
or the convention. His secretary, T.
P. Littlepage, was chairman of the
Resolution Committee There was no
opposition in the committee meeting.
Beveridge leaders withdrew early in
the day, when defeat was evident.
District Chairman Edgar Durre is a
Beveridge man, but he presented no
opposition to the stand-pat platform.
! Beveridge is not strong in the First
| District, and his name brought no
applause with the convention. All
state candidates who were also in
| line.
The real fight of tlfe convention
came in the contest of the congress
4 ional nomination. John A. Brady of
Princeton was beaten by Col. Frank
| B. Posey Of Evansville by a vote OF
II to 95.
