Railways Weak in London.

LONDON. July 21.-American railway
shares closed weak in the regular session
on the halt in the upward movement in
New York. On the curb those issues
rallied, but now again at the end show
a dropping tendency. at reactions of,Quar-
ter to half. Southern Pacific showed q
poorer tone than anything else in the de-
partment. owing to the pending bond
issue. Canadian Pacific had a heavy APP
pearance and there were no symptoms of
recovery in foreign issues. Japanese
bonds declined quarter to half and SINH
lar losses were sustained by Peruvian is
sues the last due to Berlin selling. Final
prices. as a rule. were above the lowest,
and De Beers manifested cautious dispo-
sition. British home rails were irregular
at the end. Consols closed at S7A. as COM
pared with S7% at the close yesterday.

MANY PR0FIT-TAKINGSALES
aNDUSTRIALS VERY STRONG

NEW YORK, July 21.-Upon occasions
during the forenoon session of the stock
exchange the market reflected the weight
OF exceedingly heavy profit taking sales.
The consequent declines in nearly all the
active stocks were in the neighbOrhood
Of per cent. Toward midday. however,
the market became steadier. and there
after advanced very rapidly. The now
familiar exhibit Of new high record prices
on the present upward movement was
made by a large number of stocks
The reactionary tendencies of the mar
ket in the early part of the day had no
better explanation than the natural will
1ngness Of SPECTATORS and manipulators
to convert profits into bank accounts, in
view of the extensive rise in prices dur
ing the past thirty days. In addition
there was some little disappointment at
the failure of the American department
OF the London market to follow I'D the
advances scored in the local dealings yes
terday.
The London stock market was generally
heavy. partly for political reasons and
partly In advance of some large impending
issues of securities

Operations for Foreign Account.

Operations here for foreign account
showed an excess of sales although these
were not In sufficiently large volume as to
constitute factor of Importance in the
course Of prices. It is not unlikely, also,
that some degree of uncertainty, not to
say uneasiness, with regard to domestic
political conditions was an influence both
in London and the local market. That,
however. Is a factor which will have to be
reckoned with for several months to come.
There were few surprises furnished in
the routine news Of the day including
the statements of earnings submitted and
the dividend announcements. Formal
announcement was made Of the sale of
SIS 900 600 OF Central Pacific 4 per cent
bonds for refunding and other purposes.
The volume of business was in the neigh
borhood of the large aggregate rolled up
yesterday.
There was also apparent a particular
ly wide distribution of interest. and for
the first time In several days there were
quite large transactions in the local trac-
ton shares. which were all decidedly
strong The dealings in United States
Steel common continued upon an immense
scale. and that stock was among those
which reached new high prices on the
current upward movement Other strong
features of the industrial and mscella-
neous groups were National Lead, the
American Smelling shares. National Bis
cult. Distillers' Securities, and Westing-
house Electric

Southern Lines Score Advances.

The bulk Of the early selling converged
upon the railway list; consequently the
net changes in that department were not
30 extensive as those noted elsewhere.
The stocks Of all the lines in the southern
states made noteworthy advances and
Missouri Pacific scored q sharp recovery.
Reading was exceptionally strong and was
one Of the most active features Of the
whole market.
Money market and foreign exchange
conditions showed little alteration, while
the domestic exchanges turned still fur
Their against this center. On account,
however. Of the large treasury disburse-
ments. the local subtreasury reported
loss to the banks since Friday OF more
than 100000.
Crop advices were satisfactory and the
grain market moved irregularly.
