STOCKS SAGGING
IN WALL STREET

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-For the
first time this week today's
stock market evinced reaction
airy tendency with generally
lower level of prices. None of tie
declines was serious nor was
there any enforced liquidation, but
rather a realizing for profits with
some attendant bear selling.
The general belief is that politi-
cal events of the next few days
are bound to leave their impress
sion on the securities markets.
Wall street is devoting marked
attention to the conflict in the re-
publican party
The market opened with a re-
cessation of a point or more in
many of the active issues and
soon went lower on unfounded
rumors dealing with the alleged
serious illness of the best known
member of the. STANDARD oil party.
Partial rally was made from these
setbacks, but the list displayed
more or less hesitation for the
balance of the day and closed at
or near the lowest prices.
Advices from middle west bank
ing sources were mostly that last
months liquidation had clarified
the financial atmosphere in that
section.
Further light was thrown on
the country's foreign trade situa-
tion by the publication of an of
ficial statement from Washington
concerning imports and customs
receipts for the first year under
the new tariff. 1t puts total i'm
ports during the twelve months
ending July 81 last at $1,562, ,621,-
1S1, of which slightly less than
so per cent entered free of duty.
Importations during the year were
larger than in any corresponding
period in history and the volume
of those entering free of duty the
largest ever shown in any corre-
spending period.
Customs receipts for the year
were s327,S73,672. a larger total
than in any other year except
1907. when the total was about
$S,000,OO larger.
London was again a seller in
this market to the extent of about
$4,000 shares. The Bank of Eng
land increased its proportion of
reserves to liabilities to point
well above that of last week, and
its total reserves also were larger
The Bank of France reported a
trifiing loss in gold and a large
gain in treasury deposits.
Bonds reflected the tone OF the
stock market by their irregular
ity. Total sales (par value),
$1.S70.0 900.

New York Curb Stocks
Boston Copper Stocks

BOSTON, Aug. 1s.-The market tone was
slightly easier in sympathy with Amalgamated.
There was little news beyond the denial Of
any purpose to form a large copper merger.
Copper exports since August ] amount TO 15 3:s2
tons Of the metal. The situation continues to
improve Arcadian was active favorable
from the mine.
Copper shares are developing a weaker ten
dency, with trading fairly active. In sympathy
with New York our market opened fractionslly
lower and further selling has carried prices
down from 20 two points. Calumet and
Arizona, Hancock. Lake and North Butte have
been the principal losers. It is the general
opinion tilat this is nothing more than profit
taking after the vigorous rally during the last
80 days.
1t Is reported that the Ohio copper company
is handling 1,s00 tons of ore per day, with
unit in operation, which was originally
designed for treatment of but 600 tons per
day. II this be maintained the mine will
oe able 10 handle over 5000 tons per day when
its three units in operation.
The following list is furnished by z. T. Hut
