Activity increased above the low point of midsummer trading, owing to the aggressivendss of the bears, and upturns late in the week seemed to be due to little else than covering. Low Records in Industrials. Among the industrials, various new low records for the year were reach- ed. &t was chiefly In this section that pressure was exerted. Representative rails held comparatively steady, ow- ing to tHe improved position shown by their earnings reports. Statements for June and July confirmed the favor- able impressions which the street has! been receiving, and shpwed that while the roads are far from having regain- ed their former position, a real ad- vance has been made, by comparison With their status of a year ago. In the way of new factors, advices were too mixed to be conglusive. Operations for the short account were facilitated by indicatiops in the gov- ernment’s crop reporting shrinkage. Forelgn commerce for July was the smallest in several years. Prospects of greater delay than had been ex- pected in the government's railway financing and further cuts in_ prices of commodities were other bearish influence: Other Factors Considered. On the other hand, the monthly re- port of United States Steel's unfilled | tonnage showed a decline smaller than had been generally looked fo! the number of idle freight cars de. creased substantially. The steadily improving position of the federal re- serve bank was reflected in its re- port. The reactionary tendency in the bond market gained greater impetus, and there were numerous material declines, particularly among specula- five issues. A violent upturn occurred in sterling exchange eanly in the week, which carrled up the rate to) 3.723%. although half of this advance! Missourl, Kansas and Texas 1st 4s.

Reed, manager of the western grain committee, representative of twenty grain-growing states. The committee will appear before the Interstate Commerce Commission, beginning tomorrow, to urge reduc- tion in grain rates in the west, and Mr. Reed, who is chairman of the Kansas public utilities commission, said in relation to the picturé drawn in_the White House statement: , “The proposed reduction referred to is simply a matter of adjustment ".I order to preserve the grain traffic to } certain roads. It will not result in actual reduction of freight rates to the producer on export grain.” Mr. Reed said the Whi House statement was “mislelading” in that it indicated that grain rate reductions already made were put in to benefit producers. The fact was, he assert- ed, that Canadian roads out rates via lake and rail to Montreal, and cap- tured much export business. To meet this, he said, certain American lines cut 4 cents per nundredweight off the Lake-Buffalo-New York rate, and this in turn forced all rail carriers to New York to propose a 73;-cent drop, Chi- cago to New York, as they were los ing business to both the Canadian and Buffalo routes. Some carriers hauling to gulf points saw danger of disruption to their export grain traffic in this proposal, and protested, Mr. Reed said. He in- sisted that the whole export grain rate question as it now stood was one | between carriers for division of the traffic, and that grain producers stood no chance of benefiting.
