MARxxE COMPELLED TO HIGH
 AGAINST DEPRESSION.
Aatnoeg4 Mee4way 10 Made, the Recovery an4 tho Later Strength Are by
 No means e Decisive as
 the Day Before.

NEW York. August 1s.--rhe stock market had to contend with some jepres- sion today as it had yesterday. and al nro.s,n rrousn made headway against the as, precision. the recovery and the later strength were oy no means as decisive as yesterday Ine factors which seemed to make for sene.,on s,,S were not as much in evidence ether es they were in the movement yester- gay, which confidently ignored them. The action Of the grain markets today was eonsdesably less alarming from the view ish tone of wheat and the continued re- ceipt of news of damage to spring wheat oia not obscure the inclination to take profits In that commodity. H gher tenn peratures in the Northwest relieved the immediate apprehension of harm from trost, Rains in the corn belt also fur nished the desired element for rescue from harm which Is regarded as rather a threat to the crop than an accomplished iact. But the grain carriers showed but ianguid strength at any time Reports of ust were uniformly favorable with the sole exception of Denver q Rio Grande. which showed decline from last years corre- that stock shot up over 2 points. The de- mana for 1t was attributed to London &C., count. sTfe
 the same source. Foreign holdings of these stocks Is on large scale and operations in them for foreign account are given special attention. Missouri. Kansas Texas was
 
 sterdam. There were several other centres Of positive strength in the market to help on the contest with the depression. The local transactions were the subject of a concentration which comprehended the whole group and for the first time since the current movement set in Manhattan led with rise of more than 3. and Interbor- ough on the curb rose with equal violence. Hepitftion of old merger rumors the only explanation and the group reacted sharply. The advance in the smeting stocks was attributed to the pending negotiations for union of lead interests and to good current earnings The rise in Amaigamated Copper was partly in sympathy with that in Smelting.
 The fear of a war of price cuts in the steel trade was a weight upon the market and received much discussion. but United States Steel preferred seemed to be SUD- ported and these fears were Quieted. The market sold off sharply in the last hour, but in the final dealings there was a rally lead by Amalsamated Copper, and the clos ing was firm with the gains pretty well maintained. The market was notlceably spotty all day and the mass of the railroad list did not share in the strength of the special stocks.
 Bonds were quiet but firm. Total sales, par value. s2.350,ooo. United ststes bonds were unchanged on call.

Southern Trade.

Philadelphia Record.
 This city Is not only nearer the South than New York Is, but 1t has more in common with the South. Among other things. it is the most dis tinctlvely American of the large cities of the North. and the South has been much less influenced by foreign ele- ments than the North has. The trade relations between this city and the South have always been close for these and other reasons and they ought to be still more intimate and more ex tensive: and such, we are happy to observe. they are becoming.
 The system of excursions bringing merchants from the South to this city is an excellent one. and it Is bearing substantial fruit. The business men from the Eastern part of the South, and many of those from the western part. go through Philadelphia when they go to New York. It Is absurd that they should go beyond this city except for some special purposes. Here is the greatest manufacturing centre ip the country. Here are textiles of every variety. Of all places in the country this Is the one where the prod. ucts of iron and steel are to be sought Here nre unequaled transportation fa- cilities with the West, and here are abundant shipping accommodations for Europe and the coast, And after three of fcur days of business at this oppres- sive season of the year one may reach Atlantic City in an hour and recupcr. ate upon sea breezes and the finest coast air and bathing to be had along the Atlantic.
 Southern merchants have already come here in large numbers. and there are indications that the numbers will increase through this month and Sep tcmber. and orders are coming in pro. portionately. Our Southern visitors are doing business here. and many of the wholesale houses report substantial increases in their orders compared with last year. Our Southern trade is flour ishing.

 Our market opened at q few points ad- vance and worked higher on a belief that insect damage in Texas would be in excess of former ideas. Later foreign buying in American markets induced some fresh pur- chasing here and caused additionally high CT levels to be observed. When general con- ditions are considered, 1t would be diffi- cult to find fault with the weather chart and forecasts Fair weather with occasion al scattered showers and not unreasonable temperatures are desired. The movement of new cotton is quite regular and in suf- ficient quantities to admit of no doubt of becoming factor to be dealt with in the near future.

tBy Private Wire from Miller & Col
 NEW YORK. August 1s.-On the last r:se as well as on the reaction which fol lowed it there was heavy selling for short account by the outside public and the short interest which had been previously reduced considerably was again largely expanded. The market is thus in no position to stand any adverse crop accounts or even to view without anxiety anything which might re- tard the already delayed movement. Strong operators stand ready to take advantage of any development which may embarraa the shorts to rush up prices even if only for purpose of putting out short unes for their own account at a higher level.
