THE SPECULATORS
 WE'RE PUZZLED Course of the Stock Market Was
 Very Irregular. CONSIDERABLE REALIZING The Outside Interest in the Market Proved Wholly Inadequate to Alp sorb the Offerings to Realize
 and Decline Followed

New York July 24-The course of todays stock market confounded speculaters. After efforts by professional speculators to take their profits without any demand for stocks to absorb the offerings the days movement was capable of explanation. Efforts were made to sustain the market in the morn ing by manipulation of few of the spe- cialties, especially Sugar and the Tobacco stocks. Later in the day Tobacco was eX- clusively relied upon as sustaining influ- ence, and finally that stock, after having been pushed up nearly 5 points, dropped back more than in the general weakness with which the market closed. Tobaccos s net gain is 22s, but all of the earlier rise dn Sugar was wiped out. Many stocks show losses of point or upwards during the day.
 There was realizing in evidence from the opening, but the first point of acute weak ness to develop was in Brooklyn Rapid Transit The recent advance in this stock has evidently been in anticipation of the favorable decision announced yesterday of the right of the company to charge 10-cent fares to Coney Island and realizing was very large during the day The last price today was 56, compared with 60 late yes terday afternoon. For the rest the market showed the result of manipulated advance in the growth to rather top-heavy propor- tions of a long interest anxious to realize. At the same time, the recent forced cover ing of shorts left the market without sup port from that source.
 The outside interest in the market proved wholly inadequate to absorb the offerings to realize, and a rapidly declining scale of prices naturally resulted.
 There was feeling of doubt aroused in the minds of spectators by the general skepticism expressed by public commenta- tors over yesterdays rise, which was uni Versally attributed to artificial manipua- tion. The weekly report from the weather bureau on the crops, showing the lack of moisture in the corn belt, caused renewed apprehension regarding that crop, and the corn-carrying roads suffered accordingly

spinners are buying but sparingly, but as of odds and ends unfit for general use, any demand making its appearance would un- doubtedly advance the price.
 New Orleans opened at a loss of about 1 points this morning, sold off points ad- ditional on prospects of a favorable week. ly crop statement, which, however, only proved fairly good and less favorable than expected, shedding reported from many points, while rust is complained of in the eastern section of the belt, with the Caro- linaS suffering for rain Altogether it is not report that would satisfy a sanguine bear, and on covering by such operators, prices advanced some 10 points over yes- terday's closing, and 15 points from the lowest of the day. We have heard noth- ing concerning the situation in China to- day, but sharp decline to the lowest fig ures of the season in foreign government securities would lead one to believe that all is not well, yet China is not the only spot on earth, for, with France doing an excellent business in textiles with pros poets of England enjoying an improvement in business with India, the Levant and her colonial possessions, together with an in crease in business with the United States from South American countries. good prices are almost certain for the coming season. though the crop be full one, which. moreover, present prospects do not point to.
