Colonel Roosevelt In 1892, nearly a

lawyer
"No, I did not say that" responded
Adele.

Wilson's views ON The Market.

tFrom j. G. Wilson Il Co.'S private wire-)
NEW YORK Aug 2.-Today's stock market
moved irregularly, with trade small There was
little improvement as to activity and strength
the close, but the change for the better
probably represented nothing more than evening
up Of traders accounts 1t looks now as though
the market might sag little further. but we DO
not expect more than traders reaction unless
crop news becomes worse.
Cotton-Texas had rains over night and this
morning and this the chief influence in
causing lower cotton market today. Large spot
interests were credited with selling so, 900 bales
and Waldorf and Wall street people also sold.
1t Is recognized that the condition Of the crop
has improved since the data for the government
report was gathered. Moreover many think that
the government put the condition too low. Tho
weather during the next go days will be the de-
termining factor in the crop and the market. On
the whole. we are disposed ut present to favor
sales good bulges.
BOSTON Aug. 2.-There was no news of any
sort to sway the market either way today. We
still believe good copper stocks can be bought on
any slight reactions
CHICAGO. Aug. 2-The wheat market was
stronger today. largely as reflection Of higher
corn and oats markets. Liverpool was closed to-
day and will be Monday. but Antwerp was iKc
higher. The regular run OF news on wheat was
bearish as far as statistics but they lose their
effect when the corn and oats losses are figured
