STOCK LETTER By R. Allyn Lewis

It was very quiet day in stocks with no news of importance The market seems to be biding its time or waiting on something. In meantime, it is holding it's own on the whole and strong in spots We believe it is time to remember the old adage-"Never sell dull market
 Dividend and interest payments in August will approximate $l59,S93,322, new high record for the month Last year the amount was Sl4o,- 130133.
 Trading in September corn stopped: By resolution of directors of the board of trade, July 3lst it was order ed that all trading in September corn shall cease, after the close July 31st, 1917, and settlements are to be made on or before August 2nd, at | ?. m., at $l.65 per bushol.
 Price agreed by committee appointed to determine the true commercial value of this delivery.
 The government report on cotton was much lower than expected ana market quickly advanced i5O points from the low of the day. Peace talk will always be the chief factor in the cotton market from now on. A level of 25 cents is a fair price under present conditions but on any signs of opening up the worlds trade cotton would easily sell a great deal higher.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.=(Wau Streetl Continuance of the extreme heat con- tributed largely to the further curtail- ment of stock market trading today, dealings falling to 265000 shares, the smallest total since the early months of the year.
 The extraordinary exhibit of the United States Stee corporation for the second quarter with its significant ap- propriation for war taxes and profits. was almost the one topic in financial quarters and acted as a brake upon bearish activity.
 United States Steel registered the maximum of 124&, reacted a point and closed at 124A, a net gain of point. Other steels and the more active equip ments and war specialties followed the course of their leader in the main. Rails, shippings and metals were fea- : tureless most of the session. Important railroads submitted June statements of earnings, some of which left much to be desired from the bull standpoint.
 Engagements of gold for export again assumed large proportions s4.- OOO,000 being transferred to San Fran cisco for shipment to Japan; $1 200, 900 being consigned to Spain and half a mil ion going to an unnamed port.
 Bonds were firm on limited offer lngs. The liberty issue moved in the narrow range of $99.40 to $9S43. Total sales par value, $2.575 ,00O.

 FATE IN OWN HANDS

MESA, Aug IA J. Roland of Mesa committed suicide by shooting himself through the head, at his home in Cuber addition yesterday morning shortly after o'clock. The deceased had been very Respondent for several days, his wife noticing that he was unusually so. He had been out of work for over month and had been worrying over the fact that she was working to support the family. This worry grew on him until his health began to give way and Ire had ire quentN within the last few days spoken of his weakness, appearing to fear that he could not do work even if it could be obtained
 On Tuesday he secured a position with the Gas and Electric company of Phoenix and had arisen early so that he might get away. His wife stated at the inquest that he awoke before o'clock and spoke of getting up. She asked him to lie still and she would make the breakfast fire. He refused and she went back to sleep not even hearing the shot. She awakened a little later and seeing from her be! that there was no fire in the stove began to dress hurriedly in order to build one. Going to the door leading into the kitchen she saw her husbanG where he had fallen.
 Dr. Drane was summoned imme- diately and found the wounded man yet breathing, though the shot had gone entirely through the head at the temples He lived about an hour Judge Kingsbury who had to go to Florence on business had a jury sum- moned and at 630 o'clock in the early morning the inquest was held, the finding being that the deceased ha come to his death by his own hand while laboring under temporary in sanity
 Beside the grief stricken wife there are nine children, two of them grown and the youngest a babe of seven months. MT Roland was an electri- elan, and beyond his mental trouble there was nothing more than poverty to prompt the deed. It appeared to be a case of an exceedingly sensitive disposition, bothering over being out of work until his mind gave way A. sad sidelight on his condition is that day or so before he had tried to turn the Wringer while Mrs. Roland was washing and giving out. sat down and holding his head on his hand, said, Well if I can't help you even this much l had better go away and hide from everybody"
