NEW YORK. July 16.-The United
States steel stocks were again the leading
features OF todays market in respect OF
strength and activity, and both issues
advanced to new high record prices. The
gossip bearing upon the transactions In
these issues was still OF more or less
general description. The dividends will
be acted on July ~. and while yesterday s
rumors that the rate on the common
stock would be increased we're repeated
today, there was the same dissent to the
likelihood OF such an occurrence as was
expected then.
At the same time the strength Of the
United States steel stocks was very plain
~ effective in the course of the other in
dustrial and miscellaneous issues. In
that group substantial advances were
scored by the Republic Iron and Steel
stocks. American Car and Foundry and
Amalgamated Copper.
The local traction shares were some
what more active than for some days
past. and material rally took place in
Third Avenue.
Striking Railway Features.
The railway list was generally steady.
the most striking features there being
Louisville and Nashville, Missouri. Kan
sas and Texas and Reading. Union and
Southern Pacific were also strong, but
the advances in those instances were ex-
ceeded by those in the other stocks men
toned
American shares were steady In the
London stock market, which was other
wise irregular. But very little was done
here for foreign account.
Announcement Of the shipment of addi-
tional amounts of gold to South America
next week attracted as little attention as
has heretofore been accorded to the out
ward movement of the metal.
Bank Statement orecast.
The preliminary figures Of the principal
movements Of currency during the week
pointed to a largo loss in cash by the
banks. the latter have lost in their opera
tions with the subtreasury alone since
last Friday nearly $l1 ,0OO. 900. this dsad-
vantage being caused, Of course, by the
return Of government deposits under the
recent order Of the Secretary Of the
Treasury.
For the first time during the week the
money market was a shade flrmer, reflect
ing this unusual drain upon local cash
resources.
There were again wide and violent huc-
tuations in the grain market, but. as has
been the case previously little consequent
effect was shown In the dealings in securi-
ties.
