The ODD season of steam navigation
on Lake Champlain has just been closed
and the business handled, although not
record breaker, compares fayorably
with that OF former years Various cir
cumstances served to make it less than
the year previous when the tercentenary
celebration was held Among the infu-
enees felt is the falling off in the au-
tomobile business, which is attributed to
the burning Of the hotel at Bluff Point,
and another was the unfayorabie wealth
er on the excursion dates.

The Power Of Resistance to Unfavor-
able Factors Brought Positive
Strength Yesterday.

New York, Aug 9.-The develop
ment of positive strength in the stock
market was the outgrowth largely OF
the power of resistance to unfayor-
able factors which was demonstrated.
The news OF the attempt upon the life
of Mayor Gaynor confronted the mar
ket when it opened This new ele-
ment superposed upon the disap-
pointing government reports on the
condition of grains, which influenced
the market at the close yesterday.
The depression of the early prices
was SO moderate as to serve as a
warning to the bear element in the
speculation that the present holders
of stocks would not be induced easily
TO sell A market bare Of stocks is
not comfortable situation for an
uncovered short, and substantial
demand sprang up from that source,
The advance in prices was largely
due to that cause. Stocks were in a
large degree, professional. Reading,

Steel absorbed upwards Of one half
Of the transactions.
There was some disposition to re-
wise the days apprasement of the
crop report and to take a more hope
full view of its promise The grain
markets having adjourned yesterday
before The publication of the bulle-
tin, the stock market had been with
out guide of the action in those
markets, The quiet tone in the corn
market today and the downward ten
dency in wheat left no room for SEN
satlonal differences Of harm to those
crops The tone Of the weekly bull.
letin of the weather bureau strength
ened the assumption that the i'm
proyement had been going on since
the date of the monthly government
report.
In the field of dividend action there
was an increase in the Canadian Pa
cific dividend and the maintenance
of the Sloss-Sheffield steel dividends

statistics of the Copper Producers As
