the stock market came from higher Lon

One thing that there seems to be less
fear OF than existed formerly is the
money situation. The idea is beginning
to prevail that commission houses and
others whose business is affected by
money rates have pretty we'll prepared
themselves against possible money
stringency in the fall by taking on an
ample supply of time money and putting
themselves in a strong financial position.
There is no doubt that commission house

lively In these places is smaller than 1t

CURRENT NEWS AND GOSSIP
OF INTEREST TO INVESTORS

Wall Street is nominally interested In
the entry of Rockefeller interests into
the board of directors of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. as it is thought
that this development will have an i'm
portant bearing on the future of the
Gould and Rockefeller railway systems,
with especial significance as to the re-
lations between the Goulds and the
Pennsylvania people In the efforts of the
first named to push their lines to an
Atlantic tidewater outlet Pennsyl-
vania's objections to the extension of
the Wabash have not prevented the
Plttsburg entrance plans of the latter
company from being carried out, but
the attitude of the Pennsylvania has
made II quite clear that Gould progress
TO the East Will be opposed in every
possible manner 1t is not considered
probable that the Gould plans will fail.
especially as the powerful Rockefeller
influence is working for them. There
Is room for both the Goulds and the
Pennsylvania in the East. The Penn
sylvania Railroad will never be COM
PEELED to reduce dividends because OF
lew competition. The confidence that
investors have in the Pennsylvania is
reflected in the heavy subscriptions TO
its new stock for home and foreign ac-
count. Large subscriptions were made
last week for European holders of Penn
sylvania stock for the new issue. and
IT was largely due TO the drawing
against these subscriptions that an easier
tendency developed in the foreign ex-
change market. Sterling exchange will
doubtless harden again as there will
soon be heavy demand for remittance
against July interest and dividends due
TO foreign investors in American stocks
and bonds.

Speculative interest is now confined
in great part 10 the grain and cotton
markets. Wall Street commission
houses that have been doing little in
the stock market in the last few weeks
are now actively engaged in executing
orders in the grain markets for the ac-
count of customers who profited heavily
in last summers bull speculation IN
securities. The Western element Is
especially active in grain, and it is
freely predicting much higher prices for
wheat and corn. The weather so far this
year has not, as a rule, been favorable
to big crops. but II climatic conditions
in the rest of the summer are season.
able, satisfactory harvests Will be made.
Much Of the crop damage currently re-
ported comes from speculative sources
for effect on the price Of grain, but still
there is enough uncertainty over the
situation TO warrant some of the present
enthusiasm among the corn and wheat
bulls. In the cotton market further
high records are being made. and as
the cotton In the country is practically
cornered there is no telling what may
situation is most unfortunate, and Of
fetal action ought to be taken by the
cotton exchange and the banks TO bring
to an end a speculation which is dam
aging the cotton market and the couu-
try's export trade. Europe viii not Guy
our cotton at present prices. especially
as new sources of cotton supply are
constantly developing in countries other
than the United States. Cotton produc-
tiOn is increasing at a rapid rate out
side the United States. and the present
high prices here will serve to stimu-
late cotton culture in other lands.
Last week exports of cotton from the
United States amounted to 12.7S6 bales,
a decrease of 24,S3a bales as compared
with the exports for the same week last

There have been many explanations Of
