appointed today The stock market again
became Pm unimDortant affair. London
in particular renewed its attitude of in
difference towards American securities,
and buying for that account in New York
fell back into insignificant proportions.
This served to discourage the local trad
ers. A hardening of the discount rate in
London had something to do with the set
back TO the stock market The weekly
statement for the Bank of England dis
closed that the easy tone of the open mon
ey market is now viewed with favor by the
authorities of the bank and that it's own
ers believe that the prevailing ease OF
money will not last long. The rise in the
discount rate at Berlin and the fall there
of sterling exchange were incidents OF the
day Rebuff given by London to the New
York bulls was emphasized by the pro-
nounced weakness of the Anthracite Coal
ers. which declined en- the ultimatum Of
fered by the operators to the miners and
the fears thereby caused of a strike. The
Steel stocks were heavy as a rule, appar-
emily on the refusal of the trunk lines to
grant a reduction in freghts from Pitts
burg Colorado Fuel was an exception to
the heavy increase in net earnings report
ed for July over those of year ago The
continued decline in the prices Of iron also
affected the group. The bears were dis
posed to let Peoples Gas and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit alone, mindful of their re-
cent unpleasant experience with American
Sugar Where there was any demand de-
veloped there was significant scarcity of
stocks offering and prices advanced easily.
This was notably in Southern Railway pre-
ferred, which was advanced from 52B to
S. The buying of this stock was attrib-
uted to the high price of cotton which is
direct benefit to the Southern Railway.
The list as a whole hung heavy and neg
