THE MARKETS.
Wnll Street Review.

BY Associated Press.
New York, July 12.--The stock mar
ket showed continued strength today
and buying by professional operators
was on large scale. An eager de-
mand developed for Missouri Pacific
and affected nearly all the Gould
southwestern group in sympathy Not
only the stocks but all the securities
of this group of railroads were effected.
Missouri Pacific sold the leadership
of the market throughout the day and
made a late advance of 1873, an eX-
treme rise of two points. The motive
of this buying was the Wall street
rumor of plans for merging the var
ious railroad properties in the. south
west in which the Goulds are inter-
ested. Good buying set in early for
the grangers. Pacifcs and Atchinson
preferred and after midday New York
Central was suddenly pushed up an
extreme 23s. Large buying of Penn
sylvania at an advance of IA seemed
to be associated with the New York
Central movement, but an attempt was
made to connect the latter with Union
Pacific and Northwestern by manipu
lating the price of those two stocks.
All VI lue NpTWeSIeT1lS 3 gain was SUD-
sequently lost. The manner in which
the buying demand progressed through
the railroad list together with the up
ward tendency in sugar. prompted the
professionals to attempt a movement
in the industrial stock, leather pre-
ferred, national steel, tin plate, fed
eral steel and general electric were
bid up between one and two points
and New York Air Brake made char
acteristic upward dash of 10 points.
Mexican Central rose quite conspicu-
ously Pc per cent. under the senti-
mental influence of the opening IN New
York of subscriptions for the new Mex
lean refunding loan. Sugar, Manhat-
tan and Brooklyn Transit dropped
Sharply from top figures and many of
the industrials were practically wiped
out of gains. Railroads sagged con-
siderably from the top and the closing
OF the market was decidedly heavy,
net gains being only partly retained.
Philadelphia company stock, after SELL
ing at 80, suddenly dropped to 90 in
the late market. Total sales, 643 292
| shares.
There was a good business in bonds
today, st. Louis Southwestern seconds
leading the market. Total sales par
| value, S3,365,O00. United States Is de-

New York, July 12.-The market
opened very strong throughout the gen.
eral list with advances extending from
:? to l per cent. The Changers, coal
stocks and Standard railroad shares
were the features. During the first
hour and practically throughout the
day the stock market maintained its
strength, selling off fractionallv to-
wards the close, on realizing for prof
It's. Commission business was general
ly reported Oh a larger scale and was
more generally distributed than has
been the case for some time past.
Shorts are believed to form n consid-
cradle factor in the market although
there has been quite free covering by
some of the traders. Buying fair out
Classed the selling and the market
showed evidence of concerted move
ment towards higher prices. At the
same time, the market is somewhat
narrow and we believe in taking profits
on these sharp advances. Federal Steel
jumped very sharply around o'clock,
indicating the covering of shorts who
have been selling the stock on the In
junction against the dividend The
money market was distinctly easier
throughout the day and as an element
in the speculation seems to have been
removed for the time being.
Around the noon hour, there was
some falling off in the speculation
which was followed by renewed buying
and activity towards the close. The
appearance Of the market indicated,
however that stocks were bid up with
an idea of selling on the strength, and
we are inclined to think that prices
will be lower tomorrow
The bank statement, on Saturday
next, should show a better condition
than last week. as the higher rates for
money have undoubtedly attracted
funds from the interior. The general
impression is that the case will con-
tinue and if such is the case. there
can be no doubt but that we shall run
into quite an extended bull movement.
On all weak spots the market is a
purchase. The close was somewhat err
ratio. bat in main strong with some
slight recession in values.
