Weekly Review

New York, August 5.-Bearsh influ- ences which have been uppermost ever since the stock markets failure to make favorable response to the United States Steel statement and extra dividend, con- tributed measurably to the declining dis turbed tendencies of the week. There were other adverse factors, notably the general tenor on account of crop ad- vices, local and countrywide labor unrest. and steady liquidation of motor, petro leum and sugar shares.
 Reasons for selling these and kindred issues, were founded in the important changes which seem to have come over these industries. Motor stocks by com mon agreement have been quoted at speculative or inflated values and the price reduction announced during the week by one of the foremost manufac- turers of automobiles accentuated this be- lief.
 Oils and Sugars have also been sub- jected to obvious speculation and the series of cuts made during the past fort night in crude and refined petroleums suggests enormous over production AS for sugars it now appears that refiners have profited but little by the prosperity attending producers of the raw product.
 Rails and other investment stocks were not materially changed by the downward revision elsewhere in the list. Numerous statements of June earnings were sub- mitted by leading roads and with few exceptions serves to offer promise of con- tinued large gains in gross and net re- turns United States Steel and independ- ent manufacturers added to their book ings of foreign orders and some of the munitions and equipment companies were in receipt of further contracts from abroad. There was perceptible shading of rates for long time loans and abund- ance of cash supplies was reported at all reserve centers. The only alteration shown in foreign exchanges was furnished by fires which hardened after many weeks of dullness

SUNDAY Storm LIKE
Blizzard OF 1899
Rain and Snow Transform
City Into One Big Skat-
ing Rink
TEMPERATURE GETS
NEAR THE ZERO MARK

Seventeen years ago yesterday
blizzard ragged over this city, and
as If i'm cOmmemoration OF the event,
King Winter sent a snowstorm as a
gentle reminder that he was still on
the job
The snow storm, which began short
ly before noon. lasted through the
afternoon ending at nightfall. From
q gentle sCutherly breeze in the morn
ing the wind shifted to the north
west very quickly and tho tempera-
ture dropped II degrees in three
hours and pedestrians had difficulty
in making progress along the streets
on account of the binding driving
snow. The rain that had fallen he
night before had frozen turning the
streets into skating rlnks. Many per
sons enjoyed the sport. Coasters also
were out.
In the outlying districts Of the city
and in the country. the ice covered
branches of trees, hanging down over
the roads, added as much to the dan
ger of automobile driving as the
treacherOus ice on the roads Several
automobile tops were ripped of by the
loaded tree branches. Several COLI
sions occurred when automobiles
and trolley cars skdded over the ice
which defied brakes. No serious ac
cidents wore reported however.
Owing to the fact that the snow
was accompanied by brisk wind
from the north. very little of the
snow clung to the trolley. telephone
or telegraph wires and as a conse
quence there was little damage done
to the equipment of the various com
panics and very little delay in thC
transmission of power.
Worst Of the Winter.
The storm was the worst of the
pi esent winter Many persons com
mented on the similarity of the storm
TO the blizzard which began on Feb
ruary IL, 1899. and which continued
i'm increasing force until February l3
The storm started on Saturday night
continued all day Sunday, and OF
Monday became so severe car line
we're tied up and wires were carried
down.
According to the Weather Bureau
the North Atlantic States are in thu
grip of wintry weather, and the pre-
diction which the government ISSUED
was that today would be fair ant
colder" The mercury got down Il
4 degrees in the night.
The storm was particularly sever
on the river and bay and at som
points on the bay it assumed the pre-
portions Of a gale.

senger No. y, was also from st
