AND MARKET NEWS SPECIALLY REPORTED FOR THE CALL
STOCK MARKET
PRICES JUMP

NEW YORK, July 2s. The
further material recuperation OF
stock market values today fol-
lowed the disclosure in additional
detail of the arrangements made
by which heavy blocks of securi-
ties that had been hanging over
the market had been taken over
by powerful banking syndicates,
thus saving the necessity of
further sacrifice of values in the
open market Attention was
focused on the operation dealing
with the Pearson syndicate hold
ings taken up by Kuhn, Loeb &
Co. and foreign associates. The
ciroumstantial and authentic re-
ports on this transaction gave 1T
a major interest. but there were
conjectures of other similar set
Elements. especially one growing
out of a project of railroad ANAL
gamation as ambitious almost
in scope as the one overtaken by
the transfer admitted. The effect
of these developments on the
was electrical.
The sudden adjustment of so
dangerous a situation left a very
large interest uncovered in the
market, which had counted on a
continuance Of a forced iquida-
ton to depress prices to a still
lower level The bear party were
large and urgent buyers in all
departments of the market, and
their necessities made it easy for
their opponents TO bid prices up
on them.
1t was assumed that the settle
ments which had been effected
would include the placing of sub
stantial amounts of securities
with foreign holders.
The currents of the money
movement continue to move
toward the strengthening of New
York bank reserves, in spite OF
some offsetting movements. A
shipment of 100000 in gold today
to Canada makes total of
$1,000, 600 for that destination this
week.
Special interest was attached to
the loan account of the coming
bank statement, especially that of
some Of the trust companies and
institutions outside the clearing
house. where the important relief
operations of the week may be
looked to have their effect The
Bank of England weekly report
showed the strong recuperative
forces for that money market still
in full force. with corresponding
security for the New York money
market in a source of available
relief for any need.
The corn crop advices were
more favorable today and the poor
cotton reports were disregarded.
The reports of restriction of cop
per production took more con-
crete form. Those who authorized
the reports were given by name
and inclu1ed the president of the
Amalgamated copper company.
Bonds were firm. Total sales
(par value). $2,3S4.0O0.
United States bonds were un-
changed on call.

CHICAGO, March e.-Crop damage claims,
backed up by strong speculative buying today
dwarfed every other consideration bearing on
the wheat market. The buying locally was
somewhat concentrated, but IL was well sup
ported by professional spectators, and there
was a very fair sprnkling Of new business on
the buying side from the public at large.
Several OF the crop experts are now at the
scene Of greatest damage In Kansas and are
sending in more serious complaints than those
from private sources.
Corn displayed fair strength all day. Hester-
DAYS buying by larger shorts left the market
rather bare today. and II was not hard for the
bull forces to keep values firming, particularly
in view Of the wheat strength. Smaller shorts
followed today the action Of the larger buyers
of Yesterday. A great deal of corn was put on
sale but IT only served to slow down the gen
orally advancing price. Cash sales we're I'M
tied, some Of the concerns putting out no OF
fers cast last night on account OF the unset
tied outlook for the government estimate.
Oats improved with other grains. Shorts and
shipping houses. along with local ana north
western elevator concerns, bought oats today.
Selling scattered.
An excited and higher provision market of
large volume. Trading came in waves, inter-
spersed with periods of comparative dullness.
Western and smaller local packers sold product
and outsiders did most Of the buying. A little
buying was done by larger local packers.
