II a. m.-Bear operators concentrated
their attack on st. Paul and when IT

Noon.-The movement of stocks
through the morning session demon
strated the lack of demand at the
present level of prices. The covering
movement having ceased the market
sagged of it's own weight. Reports that
the foreign political situation was as
Stunning a more serious aspect and sus-
pension of proposed increased freight

market adversely. Prices improved In
the second hour and the rally increased
in force when IT became evident that
the supply of stocks pressing on the

spicuous strength, Canadian Pacific

Northern Pacific 1. Bonds showed some
slight irregularity, with the American
Tobacco issues lower.
1 d. m.-The substantial ~recoveries
which set in before the close of the
morning session were fully maintained
during the noon hour. The features,
however, were Western Union, which
advanced over 2 points. and American
Telephone n Telegraph, which gained
almost a point. The rise in Western
Union was accompanied by reports that
the dividend would soon be increased.
2 %. m.-Specialties furnished the
only fluctuations in the afternoon mar
ket. The movement, however, was up
ward, and practically all of the fore
noon declines were made up. Local
traction stocks were purchased freely.
and there was unusual activity in
Western Union on its rise to 80h. The
August report OF the st. Paul, showing
a falling off in net of nearly $500, 900,
explained in part the cause of the re-
cent weakness of the stock.
8 D. m.-The market closed heavy.
The list moved narrowly in the last
hour, with a further downward drift
which gathered force in the final deal
ings. Declines were most pronounced
in the industrial group, u. 8. Steel fall
ing to 55h. Western Unions rise was
reduced by half and net losses were
