Show Speculators Retain Their Waiting Wait-ing Attitude and Demand Is Light. CONDITION OF CROPS VIEWED WITH INTEREST Bank Statement Shows Considerable Consid-erable Contraction of Loans During Week. By Associated Press. f; NEW YORK, Aug. 6. Nothing of importance im-portance appeared in the stock market today. Speculation halted to await events. Expectation of a strong bank return and bollcf that tho government reports on condition of tho grains to be published on Monday would prove favorable favor-able strengthened the tone of the market mar-ket The domand was cautious and very meager, but supplies of 3tocks for sale were lacking and prices .wore easily affected af-fected by light transactions. Amalgamated Copper was influenced to somo extent by the cheerful viows of the trade outlook expressed by the head of the company. A denial from the president presi-dent of the United States Steel corporation corpora-tion of yesterday's report that the price of steel rails had been cut seemed to harden the price of the shares. The conservative tone of the commercial commer-cial views and reports of further severe curtailment of cotton goods production had a restraining effect on the domand for stock. The small demand for commercial com-mercial paper by the New York banks and tho scanty offerings of funds for time loans, in spite of tho surface redundance re-dundance of money supplies, does not escape notice and is taken to reflect the anxiety ovor tho fall money markets. Foreign exchange rose again today, but the London supply of South African gold arrivals is expected lo be taken by Now York on Monday. A coming offer of British treasury bills Is altectlng the London market, although It. Is believed the attractive Interest rates prompted the offering as much as the treasury needs.

Business Outlook Good. By Leased Wire to The Tribune NEW YORK, Aug. 0. Joseph Henry Emery, president of Lord & Taylor, said today that in spile of the fact that tho July cotton report was less favorable tjian presumed, the dry goods business is moro promising for future business now than for the last six months. "Slocks arc low all ovor tho country." continued Mr Emory, "and the hand-to-mouth buying thatr has been practiced by the large dry goods houses must bo discontinued. Tho cotton report ls not to be taken loo seriously as the next two or three weeks Is a very critical period for cotton growers and the cntlro aspect of the situation can be changed during that time. "Early indications point to tho conclusion conclu-sion that our fall business will run about 25 per cent ahead of lost yoar. and there Is no reason why other dry goods houses cannot show the samo results In spile of the prognostication of numerous calamity ca-lamity howlers."
