Finances and Markets


New York. Aug 5.-On the resump- ton of operations in the stock mar | ket today evidence of further liquid
 alton was speedily forthcoming. The list fell from large fractions to a point in almost all the important | shares, and after a brief respite took another dip, in the course of which prices declined from two points to
 three points United States Steel was again subjected to a terrific on slaught, opening with a block of 75OO shares and in the course of the first hour fell to 734 Transactions in this stock during the first hour amounted i to 102. .000 shares with offerings of i Union Pacific and Reading about half as large. In fact, these three issues constituted the great bulk of the brief sessions operations.
 Disquieting rumors were again afloat while the market was receding They dealt largely with the leader of bull clique whose exensive oper- ations during the past six months. coupled with his influential foreign connections, have made him especial ly prominent. There is nothing to justify the belief that aything more than a loss of some paper profits" has overtaken this trader and his fol- lowers. On the other hand it is un- questionable that numerous small traders have been wiped out by the course of the market, which shows declines of from five to ten points for the week. The list made general gains in the final operations but in the operations just before the close the market again sold off closing weak and at material losses all through the list The total outturn aggregated about 557, 1000 shares which constitutes the largest Saturdays business in many months.
