of investment holdings and considera-
BILE lines of speculative stocks were
also thrown over. The rapidly dimin-
ishing Treasury gold reserve, together
with a further withdrawal of $4,000
600 for export. occasioned renewed dis
cussion of the probability of an inn
pending new issue of government
bonds. All things considered, the out
look was extremely depressing. The
railway shares were the objective
points of attack and especially the
Changers. On Wednesday the market
took a positive buoyancy on the an
nouncement that the foreign exchange
bankers had been summoned by Mr..
]. p. Morgan to renew their famous
compact, to prevent the out go of gold
for a number of weeks to come.

Treasury gold reserve, have not as yet

grain, cotton and other commodities
are insufficient in volume to enable COW

loss. The effect abroad as well as
here was decidedly favorable and liber-
al foreign purchases of our securities
were made. The exchange market inn
mediately reflected the changed condi-
tons and sagged under offerings of
security bills. The demand for eX-
change. which had been largely senti-
mental, also fell off appreciably. The
stock market was extremely feverish
at intervals and suffered from aggres-
sive bear demonstrations, but fresh
purchasing orders were generally in
evidence and moved prices up to a place
higher than the previous reaction. The

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, July 25.-The stock mar
ket to-day was of the usual half holt
day dimensions with the Railroad
stocks surprising the Industrials, as
group, in extent of trading. Contrary
TO the precedent in the market recent
Nv. the local dealers disregarded the
fact of lower prices in London for Am
erican securities and that the market
opened strong and active. The adj
vancing movement took in all of the
regularly active list and gains of 1an2
per cent were scored. The dealings
were almost entirely professional and
the Improvements noted were chiefly
due to the evening up of short con-
tracts On the advance, London APP
peared as a seller TO a fairly large eX-
tent and realizations and the putting
out of fresh short lines by the traders
resulted in reactionary movement
in the final dealings, extending to ~
per cent in Tobacco.
The acute weakness in prices that
had been evident during the preceding
weeks operations, based on the dis
turbed political and financial situation
was again displayed at the resump-
ton of business in the Stock Exchange
this week. Further material conces-
sions were accordingly noted in which
some shares touched lower figures
than had been reached in the famous
Barring panic, or the more recent Vene-
zuelan message episode. The active

HUBBARD BROS. & CO.'S. LETTER.
New York. July 25.- (Special) The
markets are beginning to feel the influ-
ence of the adyices from the South,
advising that the prospect is good for
an immediate movement of the crop to
market from the Southwest. Offerings
of the new crop from Texas are re-
ported in New Orleans, for immediate
shipment while from Memphis the
first bales reached Memphis on August
first bale reach Memphis on August
21, so the crop in that section is three
weeks earlier than last season. Crop
advices from the same sections as yes
terday do not have the effect of dis
turbing the current belief in large
crop and the selling of cotton by ex-
porters brought here in anticipation of
purchases in the South, finds few buy
ers after covering of the past few days.
While it is certain that crop advices
are not so brilliant as they were two
weeks ago there seems to be anincrease
in desire to buy cotton as an invest
ment. When they reduce the present
crop ideas below 100000 there will
be a good demand from all sources as
present prices are now for what in
other seasons would be considered a
large crop, as the worlds consump-
ton will require 100000 if not $780,,
600. The feeling in the market is for
lower prices under increased receipts
of new cotton.
