New York, Aug. 5.-Vague rumors

would account more than anything else
for the unsatisfactory condition of to-
days stock market. The tone was
rather heavy. but It was obvious selling
orders did not follow up the declines.
On the other hand, at different intervals
stocks, including the better grade. were
conspicuously on tap. There was good
absorption. however, as suggested In the
relatively slight net declines.
From the very outset the general be-
havior Of the list indicated something
was overhanglng the market, regarding
which there was lack OF definite in
formation. About the only adverse de.
velopment to come to the surface was
the announcement Of the suspension Of
Boston brokerage firm. which was
said not to be very important Specu
lative interest on the long side was
conspicuously lacking, which the bear
contingent were quite ready 10 take
advantage Of. and was employed as an
excuse for driving prices down sharply
in many directions.
The entire list felt the lack Of en-
couraging developments. while the re-
newed trmneSs OF the money market
and the belief that further dividend re-
adjustments are intended caused free
selling for both accounts. At the same
time continued liberal profit taking in

first part of the morning to embrace all
classes of the latter. with the oils

many OF the named groups indicated
the cleaning-up process was still not
yet completed. A feature in this con.
nection was the heavy selling of lnvin-
chile Oil which dropped 315 points to

also hard pressed. breaking 4 points.

however, a steady diminishing of the

Pennsylvania and Electric

Light Offerings

Dropping prices and diminishing
dealings appeared to he contagious as
a mild attack was also suffered by the
local market. With exceptions of Penn
sylvania Railroad transactions were of
a diminutivc order. The slipping back
Of quotations. however. was only
significant in that tended to emphasize
the thin character Of the market when
left to its own resources. No better
illustration in this connection could be
offered than in the case of Electric
Storage Battery. After the remarkable
display of strength in the four pre-
Ceding days, the offering of u relatively
small amount Of stock caused an over
night reaction of . points to 107, or
nearly 313 points from the top price
of the week.
Narrowness Of the market. or az least
the paucity of buying demand was at
the same time excmplifcd in the point
reaction in Pennsylvania Railroad, with
that stock falling back 10 37lt. or nearly
points under the weeks best price.
