MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York, Aug. 15. The dealing at the
Stock exchange were light even for a hull
holiday, the sales amounting to only a lit
tle over seventy thousand share. The
market presented few features of interest
and the variations In prices were confined
to narrow limits. At the opening the ac
tive issues showed a moderate decline,
the result of lower cables from London,
but the trading element which is lu con
trol of the market was not disposed to
fallow up this advantage. Prices at this
time receded k to per cent., but when
I Manhattan milled a point to 77, the list
Improved In sympathy. Besides Manluil-
Kttui, Susar, Western Union end Chleuso
Uus showed notable strength. There was
little desire to trade, however, for the rea
son chat thu south had been Hooded with
rumors that the bank statement would be
very unfavorable. The statement wnen
published did show a further contraction
In loans and a heavy less in surplus re
serve, hut the market Instead of declin
ing improved nil along the line notwith
standing the heavy .contraction In loans
and the loss of $1,115,000 in surplus re
servo which reduces the amount held by
the associated banks In excess of lepal
requirements to , 4(10,975. Inhe rise near
the close Siikht was the special feature
and rose fb lit. Speculation left olT tlrm
with prices Rcnerally . to per cent,
higher on the day.
