F|NANCE,COMMERCE
AND STOCKS


New York, July l9.-The operations
for a rise Ia prices of stocks which
have been persisted in at intervals dur
ing the week, in spite Of occasional in
ltcrruptiuns We're continued today. The
movement encountered less resistance
than for several days In the form OF
positive weakness in any prominent
stocks. There were apparent Dim
Cultics In overcoming the Inertia or
the general list and this drag on the
advance offered a passive resistance
which hud a discOufaglnR effect On
the efforts of the bulls at times. The
principal ammunition Of the bulls con
sisted of vague limitations of some
forthcoming favorable development
regarding the Hili railroad stocks. An
increase in the rate of distribution Of
profits was the substance Of these ru-
mors. The movement of Great North
crn preferred toOk the precedence Of
Northern Pacific which was the favor
ite IN yesterdays dealings. The cut
ting of n melon for Northern Pacific
following the disposal Of IT'S equity In
the Burlington and the Great Northern
was still rumored but was not such a
speculative %favorite as yesterday. Tha
rise In the Harrimans was more mod
crate, although Union Pacific touched
the highest price on the present move.
