NEW YORK, Aug. n.-There was
plenty of gloom on the street with the
opening of the stock market. 1t did not
require any important developments to
bring on the unpleasant feeling. 1t was
rather a continuation of the same senti-
ment that has made 1t hard shedding for
the bulls for many weeks and months.
Old traders speedily recognized the per-
sistent pressure at the opening as one
of the natural adjuncts of a break be-
fore covering \and they added pressure,
and then, when the damage had reached
a rather serious stage, say one and one

general rush to buy that soon wiped
out the losses and brought complete
recovery and then net gains of moder-
ate proportions.
The Hartman roads, hard hit by in
termountain and freight rate decisions,
have commenced the rigid economies
that were threatened as necessities
some time ago. The report is that

Island officials claim that Tetrench-
ment is not necessary in their line, but
there are rumors that tire Hill lines
will Immediately start saving wherever
possible. The Atchison Is also put on

are to be introduced.
A story is going the rounds OF the
Street. which may or may not have the
virtue of truth, to the effect that the
tobacco company has submitted two

have met with rejection. The chances
are that there is little or no truth to
the story, but that It Is pure and
simple invention of the bears. These
are the days when they are constantly
presenting new and sometimes startling
