WASHINGTON, D. C. 



The Market. 



There has been no change in business 

 conditions since the first of last month 

 unless it is that there is less doing. 

 A marked drop in temperature materi- 

 ally shortened the supply of stock last 

 week, but this was hardly noticeable in 

 view of the limited demand. The storm 

 that struck this section Thursday, July 

 30, was accompanied by hail on the Vir- 

 ginia side of the Potomac. On Sunday 

 the mercury started to rise and the 

 probability is that the city will again 

 flwelter throughout the entire month. 



Various Notes. 



William F. Gude spent several days 

 last week in Pike's county, Ky. 



Charles Schurz Vrooraan, of Bloom- 

 ington, 111., has been nominated by 

 President Wilson as assistant secretary 

 of agriculture to succeed B. T. Gallo- 

 way, whose resignation took effect 

 August 1. Mr. Vrooman is perhaps best 

 known as a writer on public questions 

 and as an investigator into economic 

 conditions. He is the author of "Tam- 

 ing the Trusts, ' ' and ' ' American Rail- 

 "wav Problems. ' ' C. L. L.
