THE MARKETS. Wall Street Review. New York, Aug. 7. The recent disposition to refrain from operating In stocks and to await a clearer development of the prospect was rein forccel today by tlio extreme heat, which reached a level inducing prostrations on the floor of the exchange. With the exception of the occa sional execution of orders In a few stocks where special causes were at work the list was al most wholly neglected. During the early part of the day some considerable declines were es tablished, but when the room trailers came to doso lip their contracts the. losses were In large part wiped out. The most conspicuous Indiv idual movement was In United States rubber which Jumped 3H from the early low point not long before the close. Punishment was visited as a result upon the short Interest which rushed to cover making some show of animation in stocks. Northern Pacific's large increase In earning for the fourth week of July brought" ranting and the grangers were heavy on the weather bureau's crop report, showing need of rain In the corn belt The steel stocks sagged on the further reduction in the price of Iron warrants. Some of the recently Inactive slocks showed wide declines Including Chicago, C.reat Western, Lake Frie and Western, Iowa Central and the local tractions. Total sales, 131,100 shares. Ilondj were dull and Irregular. Total sales, par value, cU5,000. U. S. &s declined Vi in the bid rricc.
