New York, July 24-Business at stock
exchange less active to-day-2S7,74S shares
against 1854 shares yesterday. The
bond market, however, was decidedly more
active, $2914000 changing hands, of which
81, 900 were Atchison issues. Boston
houses were the largest buyers of these
bonds. The stock market ruled firm IN
til the last hour, when the sharp rise in
wheat, due to reports of crop damage,
led to a general reaction in prices in the
early dealings, Reading, Jersey Central,
the Changers and the Trunk Lines shares
were all in demand. Reading was ad-
vanced to 1874 on heavy purchases. The
story was that the Earle-Olcott committee
was about ready to announce progress in
work of organizing the property, but the
council of the committee later denied
this. People In IOuCn with the COInlnlLLee
trade ignored these statements and aside
from the real reason for the firmness of
Anthracite Coalers was because of the
progress making for the estimates for
the Industrials. The Changers were again
bought by insiders, and all touched high
er figures. In the Industrials Sugar and
Chicago Gas were strong early in the
day, but weak at the close. Leather
was strong throughout and advanced IA
TO 177s for common and 312 to SO for the
preferred. The rise in the stock was due
10 the covering of latent short interest.
Sugar rose to 113s on buying for lower
wall street interests and then returned
To 1125s Chicago Gas sold up to So,
and later receded to 561aG563s. The gain
al the start was due to unfounded ru-
mors that the company has discovered the
wav TO pay dividends without breaking
the law In the last hour, the reported
damage to spring wheat led to sales to
realize profits, and prices ran off 1sll$s per
cent = The close was weak. Net changes
show net losses of 1407s per cent. Anthra-
cite Coal gained 1sG9s. Transactions
were. Sugar Sc, 800; Reading, 47,700; Chi
20 % Gas, Sc 100; Atchison, 20,100, and St.
paul. 1850 shares. Bonds Were unusually
active and strong. The sales OF listed
stock were 21S,000 shares; unlisted, $1,000
