Gossip of the Markets

NEW YORK, July 29.-There has
been a falling off in stock exchange
business but this is not of special
significance. II is the vacation period
and many prominent traders are alb
sent. Corporate statements do not
show profits that were promised by
the rise in shares. For the present II
looks more like a traders market
with fair-siZed fluctuations during
the steel shares could be bought on
weak days. When more is known Of
the crops and some of the bigger
financial plans have been developed
and a settled policy at Washington.
1t may then be possible 10 take a
more definite stand as to the future.
