STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Rcactionary Tone Based Largely on
 Technical Causes.

New York July 27.-The reactionary tone in the stock market today seemed to be based on technical causes largely. Lack of news to afford any other ex- planation corroborates this view The element came to the con cluslon that the strong rally on Satur day was due to a driving in of the short interest rather than to a re- sumption of accumulation by the large forces which have been back of the market for several weeks past An attempt was made to extend this move ment early today. The distribution of buying orders was made to look as though coming from the strong inter- ests which have supported prices for a considerable period past. The weight of the selling orders on the ad- vance created the suspicion that this demonstratve buying was designed to cover efforts to realize.
 Prices consequently, turned down wards. Some selling orders for Lon don account aggravated the depres- sion The London selling was said to be due to an unfavorable view of the effect on financial affairs 10 be looked for from Judge Taft's speech of ac- ceptance cf the republican nomination.

WALL STREET NOTES Rapid Bidding Up Followed by Period of Weakness
 Rally at Close. GEORGE GOULD'S RETURN Public Participation Continues Small Stimulation in Cop
 per.

There was rapid bidding up of prices during the first few minutes yesterday, Union Pacific rising from 154 3-S to 155 3-S, American Smelling from ST 3-4 to SS 1-2. and others cor respondingly. This was probably q diverting movement to serve as a warning to the bears not to attack prices. But heavy selling orders came in on the advance, and during the remainder of the morning the market sagged off, with a particularly sharp setback at midday Shortly after midday prices steadied a little, but the market had the appearance of being full of stocks" In the Wall street sense this means that numer- ous persons are anxious to get rid of their holdings. though some of them are waiting, perhaps. to get little better price. It was apparent that there are two sides to the market, that some prominent interests, think stocks are advancing too rapidly, con- sidering what might occur before the summer Is over After a period of weakness stocks became dull on the decline around o'clock and rallied quite sharply in the last half hour. with United States Steel issues lead ing. Curiously enough, Steel prefer red started the rise, with a rebound of 1-2 point on five small sales, to 10S 3-4 Steel common followed, and Union Pacific, Reading. St. Paul and others joined in the movement. It was probably nothing more than q traders bidding up on the shorts, which had showed signs of becoming expanded.

The latest comes from the National Wholesale Dry Goods associ- ation. which raises it's voice to the in- terstate commerce commission. urging that body and all others in authority to use every means in their power to prevent an increase in rates, believing it illogical untustifable and by no means warranted" The association brings good supply of language and ideas to bear upon the point that rate raising would be an economically un- sound proposition.

"A further advance of Is cent a pound in the price of copper metal, with indications of a better demand both at home and abroad, had a stiln- ulating effect on copper stocks, but in the morning break in the general market the copper group sold off with others as is often the case in the face of advances in the metal market. In fact, 1t is an old saying that when the metal market advances it is common rule with prominent interests to be selling their stock holdings. In the opinion of some tic sharp rise in Amalgamated Copper has discounted any improvement which is likely to occur in the metal market during the next several months.
