BULLS TURN BEARS IN STOCK MARKET
Special from United Press

(SpeclaI rom united PreSs.)
 New York, July 25.-Big financiers who in the past have been allied with the bull element in the market switch ed today with the result that there was demoralization on the exchange. For a few minutes after the opening price movements went upwards sIew- ly but general liquidation became evil dent before the end of the first hour. A general selling of the leading stocks, with the exception of Amalgamated followed, prices of nearly all impor- tant issues erumbling to new records for the year. One disquieting fea- ture was the sharp advance of corn options in Chicago. It was argued that this followed renewed informa- tion that the crops were in danger and that railroad earnings from crop moving would show a heavy falling off. It was said that much of the selling in Reading and Steel Com mon came from brokers usually allied with the Rockefeller interests Flaw ley stocks were under pressure but just who was responsible for this sell ing was not revealed. Throughout the first two hours there was an utter absence of any organized support.

 Torento. July %-Through passenger and freight trains were running on the Grand Trunk railway system today with comparative regularity. While the passenger trains were behind time 1t was explained by the company that this was due to the fact that the en- gineers have been ordered to run eau tfouSly through the terminal yards. This order followed attempts to de- rail trains by opening switches. While President Hayes of the railroad has issued a statement that the road has all the men it wants and can operate trains on schedule time if afforded pro- lection from lawlsssness, the officials of the striking trainmen and conduc- tors say they are well satisfied with then situation. They declare that the calibre of the non-union men is below the standard and before suburban ser vice is fully resumed, chaos will en- sue.

DEMOCRATS AGAIN SEE VICTORY FOR
 HARMON IN OHIO
Especial from United Press.

Washington, July 25.-A choice be- tween George B. Cox with the estab- lishment of old time boss rule, and James R. Garfield with militant insur- gency, is all that appears to be left to the Republicans in Ohio, according to political observers here today.
 Unless some extraordinary develop ment comes before the convention opens at Columbus tomorrow politi- clans here fail to see how the Taft administration and President Taft personally can gain much satisfaction from the outcome in any event
 Administration supporters are some what staggered at the apparent pow CTS of Boss Cox and they fear a vic- tory for him, with the well known an- tipathy which he has held for the President, even more than victory for an out-and-out insurgent.
