NEW YORK, July 15.—Prices of stocks started upward with a rush this morning, a) parently as an extension and a broadening of the buying movement which became conspicu- | ous yesterday in the grangers. There was an appearance of confident demand from new sources, and the open selling of the brokers which have been employed by the Western contingent during the recent rise did not affect | the strength of the market. This gave rise to the conviction that large capitalists who have bitherto held aloof from the market were com- | ing in prepared to continue the upward move- ment of stocks, There was active realizing in | Missouri Pacific and in a few other stocks | under cover of this strength, and the whole | market ultimately gave way. There was a | momentary check to the downward movement | effected by a rally in Missouri Pacific to a point over last night, but the market gave way again and receded generally to below night's close, only a few stocks on the resisting the downward tendency. closed heavy and not far above the lowest. | Among the late points of strength were Amal- gamated Copper, the United States Steel stocks, | the Chicago and Alton stocks and Toledo, St. Louls and Western preferred. The advance in Amalgamated Copper was In expectation list rtocks responded fractionally to the showing in the brief flled in reply to the sult against the company’s bond conversion plan, including affidavits from the corporation officials bearing on the value of assets. A very favorable | weather map this morning and a somewhat | easler tone of money added to the belief that | important financial Interests were newly em- | marked in the market helped the morning ad- | vance. The violent slump in the corn market at Chicago and the bellef in the integrity of the corn corner was threatened had much to do with the break in the market, as it was feared | that liquidation would be forced in the stock market to protect the position in the corn mar- ket. With the easing of the money rate here came a hardening in the forelgn exchange rate and a relapse in the sterling rate at Paris, | which brought international exchange back to about the gold export point. At the same time New York Exchange at Chicago dropped back again from 25c discount to 40c discount. There were, however, no deposits of currency at the sub-treasury for transfer to interior . points. The sub-treasury has contributed thus far this money market continues to harden, but bankers hand in call loans.

Two causes were attributed to the action of this market—the immense arrivals of corn tempted to this mart by the fancy price and settlement with many of the July shorts by the Gates New York bull clique of corner- ers. Whether the corner has been broken or whether the action of the bull party to-day Is simply a bait for the unwary, the trade is yet at a 10ss to understand. Common rumor, how- ever, has it that the July deal is over and all that remains to be done is for the bull crowd to get rid of the cash corn that has been de- livered to it. At the openjng all signs pointed 1§/ | toward lower prices for corn. The fair weather of the last four days has done much toward drying out the flelds and en- abling the farmers to rush stuff to this mar- ket to take advantage of the fancy price ruling for contract corn. Elevators were busy drying Stuff with great rapidity. A good half-billion bushels of contract stuff stared the bull crowd in the face. which had to be taken in at 81 cents & bushel if the price was to be maintain- ed. The bulls refused to take the corn and the bears forthwith proceeded to hammer prices until practically all the artificlal strength was taken out of July. Other natural conditions, such as fine weather and lower cables, lent to the bearish sentiment and September, Decem- ber and May options fell off in sympathy, There was no marked excitement in the pit when prices sagged so rapidly. Much of the action of the congested option was a surprise to many traders, but they took the slump as a matter of course. Fluctuations were very er- ratic. The offer of a “five” was enoush to break the price 1 cent and a bid for “ten” put the price up once 2 cents. The general trend of opinfon was that the corner was broken. is. C. Scotten, general manager for Harris, Gates & Co., stated shortly before the close of York buying. Orders sent over night encouraged | professional buying. New York gave still further | $4 877% for demand and $4 S5% for sixty days. | Government | Spot Rio, steady; No. 7 involce, 5%c; mild, | | that private settlements had been made with many of the shorts and that the interest in sup- poring prices by that firm was at an end. It is probable that shorts now out can finish set- tling in_the open market. July started 1@2c off at 78@79¢, and began plunging downward. ‘There was almost no cessation to the recession until 65%c was reached, a break of 15%c since last night and almost 25c under the top price, 90c, which was reached July 8. The close was flat at a loss of 15lc at 65%c. September opened unchanged to 3jc down at 6l@603%c. slumped to 59%c and closed very weak, 1%@ 11c lower at G014@59%c. Wheat ruled weak on the natural causes of | lower cables, fine weather and big receipts, but was pushed on down by the corn break. Pros- Dpects were for still better conditions, new wheat was coming to market freely and very few traders were inclined to the buying side. The corn bull crowd bought over 1,000,000 bush- els of September on the early break, but the general bearish sentiment prevalent on the floor worked against the rally and prices fell back. September opened H@l4c to %u@%e lower at 725@72%c, dipped to 71%c, rallied to 12%e and closed weak 1@13%c lower at T1%e. Oats made still further recessions, influenced by good weather and the general slump in coarse grains. T @lc lower at 31%@31%c. Provisions opened strong, but fell off In sympathy with the weakness in grains. Sep- tember pork closed 21%@5c down, lard 20c down and September ribs a shade down.
