DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Prices Trife Better at Opening Favorable London
Cables, But Failed to tod-Standard Issues
Strong and Steel Stocks Steady

NEW YORK. July 23.--11 a. m.-The
stock market at the opening showed
substantial recovery from the raid late
yesterday. induced by the announcement
of the failure of large New England
building concern. The Improvement was
encouraged by the higher range of Lon
don prices. The market, however, was
not very active at the recovery, and
within a short time prices began TO
dwindle.
12he failure referred to appeared to
cause some unsettlement to the United
States Realty stocks. and although the
preferred rallied l per cent in the early
dealings, there was subsequently a de-
cline OF "a per cent: the common, after
moderate Improvement. reacted over
point. The general list was somewhat
unfavorably Influenced by the resumP-
ton of the wild bull speculation in cot
ton.
The reeessIons in standard shares were
only fractional and some of the issues
showed exceptional strength. Erie first
preferred opened up y, but later lost
this and the second preferred showed an
initial loss. The best showing was made
by Pennsylvania, Baltimore and Ohio.
Union Pacific. Atchlson, Missouri Pa
cifc. Reading and Canadian Pacific.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1903-07-23

In the industrlals considerable pres
sure was put upon Tennessee Coal and
Iron. II rallied at the start Ia and
then declined 2ss. Only a small recovery
following the loss. United States Steel
stocks were steady Sugar opened up
y. but then saggec off Amalgamatcd
Copper was slightly higher. American
ice issues were weak. The local trac-
lions were fairly firm without important
change.
The reactions OF the first hour failed
to develop any selling pressure and the
market shows an undertone OF consid-
cradle strength.
Government bonds unchanged; railroad
bonds steady to firm.
Noon-London houses have traded
lightly on both sides of the market
and have sold about 10000 shares on
balance for the day. There appears 20
be very little initiative abroad. and
houses in London are inclined to close
dht contracts prior to the approaching
settlement
The market here continues to be
largely in the hands of the room
traders. There is a good undertone due
to investment buying of all the standard
stocks.

An academic critic makes the point
that the big railroad corporations would
not be borrowing money at o15 and 6
per cent to carry on improvements I'M
less they were sanguine as to the future.
The borrowing which has so worried
the Wall Street community would be re-
garded in that light as proof that the
railroad people are bullish on the out
look. If they were otherwise they would
suspend Improvement projects rather
than borrow money at these rates to
continue them.

announced that 5000 Of the $4,000 bales
of spot sold in Liverpool were for I'm

ably to apply on July shorts. Neverthe-
less the strength of that option showed
that shorts are still numerous and badly
scared Port receipts are small.
