SHARP BREAK IN EXCHANGE
hut Market Believes Negotiations Now
In Progress VIII Remedy This I'm
favorable Feature Over Night

New York. Aug. 1s.-The real fea-
fure of the stock market today was
the very considerable power II de-
veloped to the undoubtedly unfayor-
able news of the day. il was another
fsay of reaction The selling for ooth
accounts was heavy, and prices yield
ed. again declining. in most cases, TO
new low levels But these low prices
were touched only momentarily.
Forthwith the market rebounded and
the ground lost on the days trading
was. on the whole. insignificant. TINS
feature of elasticity strongly suggests
that the buying was better than the
selling and that the speculative posi-
ton is a good deal stronger than the
recent large advance led people ~
suspect
The news OF the day In a stock mar
ket sense was distinctly bad. The de-
c.sion in the anthracite coal case
caused sharp losses in all the hard coal
stocks and naturally this had a sympa-
fhetic effect on the Gulf list On the
ton of this occurred another sensation
al smash in the exchange market
which sent sterling down Ia cents
a pound further.
Decision against the hard coalers
coming as 1t did so soon after the dis-
appointing results of the Western rate
case might logically have been ex-
pected to have all the more disturb
ing influence. On the other hand, me
ruling against the roads in this IN
stance could not have been any sur
prise in the community at large. The
sharp break in exchange this after
mon as made the occasion for some
selling OF stocks but this was mainly
by the traders already bearishiy in
-iined
No Important Liquidation.
II is significant that all along there
has been no sign of liquidation OF the
important kind that might have been
expected IL the banking element was
seriously concerned over the outlook.
1, is. perhaps, chiefly on account OF the
behavior OF the market that the rank
and file IN Wall Street are disposed
10 believe that the exchange market
Is not as acute as appears on the sur
face and that the remedial measures
have already been practically decided
upon or are in process of negotiation

Market Irregular.
OF individual features in the stock
market there were quite a number ir-
regularity governing the trading from
start to finish. A break of from two
TO six points at the opening occurred
while the motor stocks were climbing
tn new high records. Cructble .ann
is-Chalmers had bad breaks and
ahe other steel companies held ur
strongly. Some of the low grade stocks
were again moved up sharply. Chesa-
peake and Ohio and other soft coal
roads were firm on approval OF higher
rates for bituminous. Considering all
things the weakest stocks on the
list was Brooklyn Rapid Transit
which had an extreme fall or S-A
.points. There Is some talk OF cut IN

meeting a week or so hence, put u WI

is in these prophesies.

The breaking of the Russian front
