DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Government Action Against Coal Combination and
Consequent Break in Reading Shares

the Attorney General along the same
lines that were followed in the Northern
Securities litigation. The break in the
anthracite coal stocks had dampening
effect upon speculative sentiment, and
was followed by a contraction in &C
tiyity and a reaction in prices through
out the general market American
stocks were decidedly strong in the
London market. and moderate purchases
for foreign account were conducted in
the local dealings
It was generally expected that the
bank statement would make a fairly
good showing on account of the large
gains in cash made by the banks this
week. and the views in this respect
acted as sustaining influence in the
trading. There was no news of impor-
lance other than that mentioned bearing
upon particular stocks. Active features
Of the dealings were Colorado Fuel and
Iron, Tennessee Coal and Iron, Amalga-
mated Copper, Manhattan, Metropolitan
Street Railway, St. Paul, Union Pacific
Canadian Pacific, and the United States
Steel shares.

to result-whether permanently or

find our bank reserves as low as they
are at a period in which money had
| been expected to be a drug in the mar
ket, as is generally the case at this
season of the year.
If things are different now it is prob
ably due to the mass OF undigested

ket and absorbing an inordinate share

available for legitimate trade pur-
| poses. The supply of commercial bills

more and more general. From all ap-
/ pearances, much OF our undigested Sc

rope just as they were last year, and the
bills drawn against them will go toward
supplying this demand. 1t may be ex-
pected. however, that the amount of our

Melon cutting is expected in Con

Selling OF Reading is said to be due to

be subjected to Federal investigation.
General sentiment continued bullish
this morning, but it is realized that the
money market is not yet in a position
to warrant the expectation OF any gem
eral outburst of bulIish speculation or
any extensive rise. Nevertheless the
interests which were the leaders on the
bear side have covered their shorts and
accumulated a good line of stocks for
an upturn are still working with that end
in view, and this has encouraged the
resumption of activity by the various
pools. especially as it is known that
the Kuhn, Loeb & Co, Hartman, and
Morgan people have been favoring such
a movement. When the market broke
so badly last Monday the balance of the
scattered weak long interest that re
manned was eliminated. and this favor
able technical speculative position has
helped to bring about a recovery.

Buy July Corn

Because OF an unusual combination OF cITcum-

Corn The foreign demand Is larger by millions
Of bushels than it was last year; the demand
from the manufacturers Of Breakfast Foods, Gu
cose, Starch, and other sources demanding enoT-
nous quantities Of Corn is greater than it ever
was before, and a serious Corn shortage is pTac-
ticaIly certain to occur. The last crop Of Corn,
although large, was So poor in quality that
much Of It Is below contract grade, and experts
state that the short side Il the market has sold
more Corn than can be delivered. Because Of
these facts, and Others we do not care TO make

will experience one Of the most sensational Bull
