MARKET |S DULL !. BUT THE TENDENCY IS STILL BULL|SH Period of Dog Day Dullness In Evidence on Wall
 Street Last Week ODDS PLACED HIGH
 AGAINST ROOSEVELT Labor Unrest In Many Idustrial Cen ters Seems to Be Causing Some neasiness-National Politics
 Matter of Concern
By ". c. NICHOLAS

New York. August 4-(Special)-It has been u period of dog day dullness in tho stocl. market. For a few days last week the market had an appearance of starting off on a big bull movement. Current news developments were of kind to inspire enthusiasm among the bulls and they led themselves to believe that the time had come to get aboard and buy stocks. A good many of them did buy stocks and prices enjoyed an advance of several points. Then the buyers sat back and waited for somebody to come along anG give the market another grand boost. In this .they were disappointed The public took kold only sparingiy. Houses with western connections had done most of the buying, and when they got through
 interest waned. Not that conditions have undergone any discouraging change. It was simply a case of the big people still lying back waiting for the fog of uncer- tainty to clear away little bit more Tie people with the big money are never
 In a hurry. They are the ones who can efford to wait. It Is the chronic specula- tors and the traders of small calibre who are impatient. They are never satisfied unless the market gives them action
 lively action at that. They had rather lose money than endure the agony or Q st3gnant stock list. The rich bankers and plungers who take an interest. in the stock market are still enjoying their va cations. Those who were abroad and re- turned home are away on the coastwise yachting expeditions or passing the re- nairing hot days at seaside and noun tain resorts. Conditions are still admit. tedly bullish. It is only a question of tune when the market responds to the favorable development of the period,
 National politics is still matter of real concern, although there is 4ttle, discus sion on the subject in Wall street that reaches the outside world. Talk is con fined largely to back offices ard the. up- town clubs where Wall st.eeters fore gather after hours. The opinion grows stronger that Mir.

Odds are also strongly against Taft Money is not talking very .loudly as yet fer Wilson, but the odds are running his way.

to news received Today by the Com

dealers. The trip was made over the
famous New Orleans-New York route,
the best previous time for which was
p days. made by party in a high
priced car. At one point. where it
was necessary to ford a creek, it
was found that the water had become
unexpectedly deep, and before the
tourists were able to halt the car the
water had submerged the wheels en-
tirely.
In giving a concrete story Of the
trip Mr.. L'Engle states: "The car
went through without injury, except
for a slide on a red clay road in
Mississippi, which slightly bent the
spindle Of the left front wheel, but
we ran on it all the rest of the way
to New York. We averaged something
over 100 miles day. One day we did
as high as 233 miles. It was all day
light travelling. The schedule time
from Atlanta to New York. by guide
books, is eight days. We made il in
seven days. My car was running as
we'll when it went into New York as
II was when we left New Orleans.

Manager Heckeri, OF the Trenton

mated several times. the names OF
Pitcher Scott. of last years Altoona

he had Nowhowell and Scott. but in
face of the fact that Johnny McGraw.

latter to Marlin Springs and that Al
toona claimed Scott. there was not
great deal Of credit placed in the re-
port.
II Is said however. that the Tren-
ton pilot could have secured Now
howell had he made an effort. but
owing TO his dislike for college play
ers he neglected to take the Columbia
hoy, despite the fact that Eddie Col
1ins, tho star second baseman Of the
philadelphia Athletics. recommended
him very highly.
In the list that Heckort hae given
out are tho following names:
Catchors-Mitchell. Blaney.
Pitchers-Boice. Lloyd, Matthews,
Oldham. Kromoer. Getty, Giegel.
First base-Whitncy.
Second base-Owens. Richardson.
Third basc-Zickwolf, Myers.
ortstop-Moriarity
Left feld-Tiemier.
Centre iield-"Home Run" Johnson.
Right field-Clay.

players as yet signed to oppose Bill
