Occurred Again Yesterday-The Days
Business Fairly Large-Close
Was Rather Heavy.

New York, Aug. 2S.--There was an
other up-bidding of prices on the stock
exchange today interspersed with fire.
quent periods of profit-taking. The
| days business was fairly large but
again the bulk Of the trading was in
half dozen issues, Reading, the Har.
rimans Smelling, Steel shares and
AmalGamated Copper. Some new
theories and coniectures We're ad.
vanced to account for the rise in
Southern Pacific which made another
new high record, but they were given
inc encouragement in official circles.
Obviously large short interests which
eNisteG early in the week have been
put to nout if not completely eliminat-
ed. The increased demand for bonds
a conspicuous feature of the last few
days. has done much to restore con
iidcncc in the market and broader
and more general inquiry for high
class issues is confidently predicted.
Cror adyices today were in line
with the encouraging news of the
early week. Pittsburg reports in
creased confidence on the part of
steel and iron interests, and the re-
cent course of steel stocks and kin
dred securities suggest an all around
better feeling in that industry.
The stock market became dull In
the afternoon, but not until the dem
orstration in Reading had carried the
stock up Ia points. The total result
Of the day was hardly satisfactory,
some of the more substantial early
gains being changed to losses before
the close, which was heavy. The rise
in copper metal here was reflected in
the better tone of copper stocks
abroad. The most interesting railroal
return of the day was that of the
Atchison for July, wherein heavy
decrease in gross earnings was con-
yerted into a net gain. This state,
ment was followed by a smart rise in
the stock and increased activity in
convertible bonds.
