= NEW York, Aug. 3, $40 p. m.--The stock market
opened quiet and steady, and for the general list
has so remained All day, in exception, the coal
stocks have been more active than OF late, led by
Reading which advanced 3 per cent, closing at n
reaction Of per cent from the highest The rise
was based on the report Of President Bonds plan
for recognizing the road and funding the floating
debt. The general market, while dull, has shown
considerable strength, the belief gaining ground
that the trunk-line matters will be satisfactorily
adjusted shortly Money continued easy at 8 per
cent. Governments show an advance ofM TO 4
per cent.

bullish TO his friends at the Branch last night but
his opinions were not much regarded, because he
is known to be very long and has large quantities
of privileges outstanding. The brokers say that
both Gould and Woershofler sold stocks literally
on yesterdays advances. The feeling, peverthe-
less, was quite buish last night and conservatives
asserted that the market had an undeniably strong
undertone, and, the recent decline having shaken
out many weak and slim accounts, there was less
probability of q serious decline or breakdown in
the event of bad news than several months ago.
There are fewer stocks for sale than usual, and
one OF the largest broadway brokers advises its
customers that there are much better prospects of
an advance now than decline.
The pools are hammering the market while ac-
cumulating stocks which are not yet for sale. Some
say that the trunk line presidents will convene in
conference In Saratoga to-day, but II Vanderbilt
broker says the meeting Will probably not be held
until tomorrow, This party says there Will prob
ably beseveral sittngs before matters are arranged
but the passenger fare quarrel Will be easily ad-
insted without delay, rs nothing not except limited
freight rates may be expected until after cheap
contracts expire and the close of navigation.
Brokers say that Keene bought 81. Paul and Lake
Shore yesterday, aud he has had an Exchange
Court firm buying in his Erie for him for over q
week.
There are very strong points to buy Reading.
Some say the Wabash jersey Pennsylvania com
bination are buying, for the purpose of utilizing q
portion of the Reading road for the through South
tween the Gowcn bond party, for control at the
next election, and a lhrd. party, owning 5000
shares hold the balance of power. McEwen, OF
London, is in the Reading deal

the fourth week in July increased s32 b2i increase
for the month, sl21A02. The wheat crop along the
line of the West Wisconsin branch OF this COM
pany Is better than ever before known. Reports
from stations along the 81. Paul road, Southern
Minnesota division, are very encouraging, and
show decided improvement In all grains from
those made week ago, Harvesting is progressing
fast, and barley is cut showing increase of per
cent. The Chicago and Northwestern earnings for
July make big showing. Increase, $40 600 for the
fourth week-an increase for the month of 1924 600
