iccelvc a special reward In accotd
ance xv 1th the rules on the fourth page

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.
