NEW YORK, July 1S.-Today was an
other animated day In the stock mar
ket, with aggregate sales of over 1000, 900
shares The strength and variety of the
market had no new developments to ac-
count for them, but the large capital
which has embarked upon the project of
putting up prices and inviting an outside
following pursued it's operations with APP
parently undated confidence. These oper-
ators are apparently firm in the conviction
that the public sentiment of the country
has arrived at that stage of confidence
in the success of the years crops, the
continued prosperity of all lines of in
dustry and the sufficiency of the money
resources of the country that the example
Of vigorous upward movement of stocks
is all that is needed to induce them to
come into the market and buy stocks
freely and boldly, thus affording a me-
dunn for the liquidation of the holdings
which the capitalists are taking. on in the
rise.
The leaders of todays market were
PENNSYLVANIA and affiliated railways.
Southery Railway was brought into the
movement in way to make it appear
that closer relations than those now eX
listing might be in prospect between the
TWO properties. The apparent determine
ton of the coal miners convention not
to make their strike general was given as
a reason for the aggressive buying of
Pennsylvania and all the seaboard soft
coal carriers, and there was, in addition
very circumstantial assertion that Penn
SylNanla had secured control of Reading
1t is no new thing in Wall street that
with the approaching dissolution of the
voting trust now in control of Reading
there will be a large absorption of the
stock in order to control the board of
directors, and it has often been asserted
that Pennsylvania was one of the parties
to this contest.
Vanderbilt Control.
No authoritative assertion to this eff
feet was forthcoming today. The accom-
panying advance in New York Central
was held to signify an acquies ence in the
control on the part of the Vanderbilts.
The cash have apparently gained cash
this week to the extent of over S. 900, 900,
of which 1922, 600 was from subtreasury
operations and the rest by direct re-
ceipts by express from the interior, show
ing the temporary nature of last week S
unreasonable demand from the interior.
New York exchange at Chicago rose to a
premium of 15c. The grangerS did not
share fully in the days strength, but they
were by no means depressed in spite OF
the unwelcome rains in the crop regions
and ore or two unfavorabIe weekly reports
of earnings. including a decrease Of s73.-
900 for Missouri Pacific. $4,000 for Chi
cage Great Western, $4,000 for Denver
& Rio Grande and $4,000 for Chesapeake
& Ohio, compared with last years sim
liar period: The market closed firm. but
below the best, except in a few cases.
The speculative bonds were active, but
the general bond market was steady. To-
tai sales. par value, $3.625,000. United
State bonds were unchanged on call.
