Y., Aug. 2—While compara- tively few stocks enjoyed a somewhat dispropor- tionate share of specu'aiive interest to-day, the marrket was yet broad and active, encouraged presumably by Western advices indicating some crop damage by excessive heat. The room traders made & v.gorous attack on granger shares at the opening ‘but soon discovered that the accumuia- tion of buying orders over Sunday rendered thelr efforts unaviiling. i1 e persistence with which the professional element cuntests the obvious ten- dency of the market shuws 1t has formed no ade- qu: te conception of the change that has Laken piace in'the general.situatlon. Theoretically, no 1, the m-rket sffould undergo a resction, and but for-the growth o: ouiside interest one wou.d long ago hiive taken piace. A8iL1s e pause that has taken place inthe up- ward movement of granger shares during the week may beresurded Fu the nature of a reaction, and some cutasirophe .0 crops and AlOWlig .l conditions, their hesitation may prove to be al ihe reac ion chey wili gei.
