MARKET RULED FlRMER
London Reported Further Advance In
American Securities.
A REDUCTION IN STERLING EXCHANGE
Jersey Central and Louisville and
Nashville Lacked Suppors and
Scored Material Losses-The Dc
slime Brought In Orders Tor Euro
pean ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Firm.

New York, July 6-The opening Of the
stock market was characterized by
firmness. London had reported fur
Their advance in American securities
there. The early gain was equal to
AQ1 per cent. nearly every active stock
participating in the upward movement.
There was a reduction in sterling ex-
change, which renders gold exports out
of the question. The hrmness was short
lived. however, and soon after tine OPP
ening the market broke y to pa per
cent. under the leadership of Chicago
Gas and Sugar. the former dropping to
Sc and the latter to 1917. Sugar was
depressed by the reduction of B@3-16
cent per pound in refined.
Jersey Central and Louisville and
Nashville lacked support and scored
material losses as did Manhattan. AS
Of late, the decline brought in orders
for European account and according to
good authorities foreign houses bought
anywhere from $4,000 to 10000 shares
during the morning session. Specula-
ton during the afternoon was quiet for
a time, but in the last hour the traders
bid the market up all around. They
were influenced mainly by the steady
buying for London account. although
the news from Chicago late in the day
was looked upon as more encouraging
It being stated that the gold men had
been able to make some impression on
the silver ranks and that the platform
to be adopted would probably be less
radical than at first supposed. The lat
ter rumor led to fairly large covering
of shorts. which stimulated the upward
movement. In the afternoon an adj
vance. Sugar. Chicago Gas and st. Paul
were notably strong. Speculation left
off firm, with prices from "A to II per
cent. higher than on Friday last Rock
Island lost u and Jersey Central ~
per cent. Total sales were 20i. LOG
shares. including 900 Sugar 2S 700 ST.
Paul. 1900 Burlington and Quincy and
1850 Chicago Gas.

Secretary Herbert insurers an Inq,.irl
as to BNildinn Near Emile ShinS

Secretary Herbert Ans,cers an Inquiry
as to Building NelU Battle Ships.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. SIN re-
Spouse to the Quay resolution requiring
information as to whether the Navy De-
partment deemed it advisable to build six
battle-ships instead OF the two authorized
by the last Congress, on the basis of the
bids submitted for these two, Secretary
Herbert sent to the Senate to-day long
letter on the subject.
After informing the Senate that con-
tracts for both the battle-ships author
lied have already been awarded TO
the Newport News Ship-buildlng and
Drydoek Company, the Secretary says
the Department does not deem it advisable
to recommend that any bids received and
not accepted should be further considered
because 1t sees no reason why, ii other
ships are now authorized the building of
them shall not also be open to competi-
ton. If an advertisement for new bids for
attle-ships were issued, he says, ten DAYS
from the date thereof for receiving and
opening the bids would give ample time
and opportunity for competition Under
such an advertisement the department
would also, as III like cases heretofore, call
for bids upon the plans of the bidders. and
any plans heretofore prepared by bidders
might be submitted upon the new bids
