THE MARKET ELSEWHERE,

New York, July 1.-THE stock market
strikingly demonstrated it's Inherent
strength again today with practical
recovery of yesterdays losses. Closing
prices today were only slightly below
those of Saturday and in some excep-
tional cases were sharply above. The
only condition in which any change had
taken place are purely technical, and
these were the elimination of the weak
ly margined long account and the crea-
ton of short interest.
London began to sell stocks in New
York at the opening today as it did
yesterday but instead of coming upon
large account Of nearly exhausted
margins as was the case yesterday the
opening decline invited buying to cover
the short contracts put out yesterday.
The buying from this source afforded
the principal support to the market in
the early dealings.
1t was particularly marked in Sugar
and the New York transportation
stocks which suffered most severely
from bear raiding. BY the time this
short interest had been covered the
market came to standstill, the bulls
apparently lacking courage to push
their advantage in face Of the continu-
ed stiffness Of money which held on
quite firmly about the legal rate sor
call money.
Slightly before noon, however, a de-
termined buying movement developed
in the great trunk lines and with oc-
casional intervals Of dullness continued
for the rest of the day spreading from
one group to another until it embraced
pretty much the whole list. The agree
ment amongst the trunk lines to restore

that group. st. Paups increase in gross
earnings for the first week in July of

ers.
The high rate for call money was ig-
nored and very large amounts were
loaned on the stock exchange at per
cent. The rate eased off to 41s per cent
at one time, but rose again to six rer
cent, the demand apparently contlnu-
ing large for the increased supply
available. Interior exchanges continu-
ed to run against New York but IN
traction OF loans had apparently left the
New York banks in an easier position
Demand sterling In New York only
held firm under the stress of the high
money rate in London but sterling ex-
change in Paris and Berlin advanced

prices kept within about 1Rc. range, with
scalpers the principal operators. North

Prime says: THE spring wheat crop has
barely held its own the present week. 1t
reached Its highest point of perfection 10
days ago, and the crop in general Is about
10 days late" Spring wheat reports from
Minnesota show that up to date wheat
has had plenty of moisture. but now
needs about two weeks of good cool, dry
weather. According to the figures of Sta
tisttcian Brown Of the New York Produce
Exchange the outlook for spring wheat is
remarkably fine. There has been a &c
break, however, and in nine cases out Of
ten recoveries follow such declines.

A Rise in Atchison and

The stock market rallied easily after
Mondays sharp decline. While six per

Of the funds market was easier, and
the impression deepened that the worst

Money is returning to the banks; large
debtors at clearing Monday gained yes

day doubtless will see reserves built up
considerably. The idea that Mondays
selling had overdone the business also
caused goodly amount of commission
business, and this buying, with short
covering, put prices up to Saturdays
closing level in many cases. Atchison
preferred resumed its rise, gaining 2,
while Manhattan did even better, and
numerous active stocks were up from
l to 112. The continued uneasiness over
the Transvaal situation abroad was re-
f1eeted in some parts of the list at the
opening, but few stocks showed sharp
gains. st. Paul was up 5s on it's state

decline, rose III, and the New York
local stocks extended thei. rise Pretty
much the whole market took up the
advance, but it came to a sudden stop
without any selling pressure.
The continued stiffness of call money
checked the manifest tendency to ad-
vance until near noon, when strength
in New York Central and Pennsylvania
spread through the list. The trunk lines,
grangers, Atchison preferred, Sugar and
the local traction stocks all rose point
or over from the lowest on a moderate
volume of dealings Bonds We're rather
dull and inclined to a lower level of
prices. Tie market became semi-stag-
nant again, but gains were well main
tanned. Heavy buying of Texas and
Pacific lifted their stock above %, and
the active stocks as a whole kept on
upward in the afternoon, although the
market was quite narrow, interest cen
tering in comparatively few stocks.
