New York. August 1.-The market OPEN

in response to better cables than ex-
peeted, but quickly turned easier, owing
to reports of further showers In the
southwest and continued liquidation suefi
as noted during the past two OF lhree
days. Prices sold off to a net declihe
of about S to 10 points during the middle

crop positions making new low ground
for the movement ON the forecast for
continued unsettled weather in the west

condition east of the river. After touch

steel attained a slightly higher level

pressure which was ascribed in part to
the severe structures directed against the

In the late dealings ACTIVITY divided
percipitably and the maroet's tone became
more irregular, which some of the hther-

of their advance. This condition was CO.
incident with the publication of the gov

Local banks are believed to be in the
way of making further cash gains tomor-
