NEW YORK, July 2O.-Todays stock
market continued exceedingly firm during
tie greater part of the business session,
but for no clearer reasons than
those which have to be classified under
the rather tiresome term of technical
causes. In fact. the further rise in prices.
which carried the average level of the
market well above that touched in May.
appeared TO be due entirely to the renewal
Of the large buying orders which were
sent into the market on Saturday These
purchases met with little or no liquidation.
; and in fact such selling as was observed
seemed to represent almost exclusively
the realization of profits.
American stocks were exceptionally firm
In the London market, and the >arbitraGe
houses were again buyers on balance. A
large number of stocks made new high
records on the recovery from last years
low levels! On the other hand. profit-tak-
ing was conducted in many directions
upon sufficiently large scale to impart
appearances OF irregularity to the market
a whole.
So far as actual developments in funda-
mental conditions were concerned, it
might be said that there was none at ALL
The commodity markets moved sluggishly,
and little alteration was noted in money
market or foreign exchange conditions.
Wall street appears to be absolutely
convinced tha' there will be salts
factory issue " the years political and
agricultural situations and in conse-
quence that business conditions will
rapidly return to the normal Repetition
OF this view of the case Is necessary
because no other satisfying reasons can
be adduced in connection with the mar
ket's course. Even in the instance of
those stocks which scored the most ex-
tens1ve advances there was nothing to
De ELECTED in explanation beyond the ex-
cess OF purchases over sales.
The shares of the Southern railway lines
were particularly strong. but such leading
issues as Union Pacific. Reading, st. Paul
and the Hill stocks made very creditable
show-ings.
There was a very great increase in the
volume or business, and the markets ac-
tivity reflected to n greater extent than
Tor long time past the operations of
commission houses
Dealings I'm the bond market developcd
no features of special interest.
Transactions in the United States Steel
shares were again in very large volume.
and while those stocks did not score ex-
tensive fluctuations I'm prices, as Satur-
day, the animation in that quarter was
beyond any doubt a pronounced factor in
the course Of the general market.

strength, with Union Pacific rising Y and
other issues q quarter above the official

ruled firm.
