Los ANGELES STOCK EXCHANGE

The exchange closed for the holiday season
with very good business for the last day, and
will open again Tuesday, July 8. The market
was emphasized by the good condition all the
way along the line and the recovery in prices
in many Instances.
The bond market was not particularly active
but of the quotations were marked down
owing to the fact that large number OF the
bonds are selling coupon Off 1t being July
l, many Of the coupons are payable on that
date. 1t is also true in a number of instances
with the banks and public utilities that there
are semi annual payments to be made and in
-est payments by the savings banks. This
has required considerable ready cash. and 1t is
to the readjustment of the loan situation that
the decline noticeable during the first part OF
the week be attributed.
In the Industrial and public utility list on
Friday the only change was in Home preferred
and Southern California Edison both of which
were weaker at A and rapidly moved to 4612
California Midway was also stronger at o.
closing at 81 Cleveland Oil was in demand
but showed no change in price. Central showed
considerable liquidation, due to the fact that
many people have been carrying 1t with the
hopes that the sale would go through in which
case a big dividend would be declared; but the
sale finally having been called off, left no
possible hope for securing the extra dividend
and they were forced to sell. At 81 this stock
certainly looks like good buy. Union was
very much stronger, selling at the close at
103, or a point and a half better than Thurs
day The balance of the list was quiet, the
undertone being good, and 1t is freely pre-
Q1cted tnat Wnen the eXcnanSe opens luSoudy
there will be a vast change in the market-a
moving up of prices all along the line.

TAssoclated Pressl

NEW YORK, July 1.-The action of
the stock market was in accordance
with the usual symptoms following so
violent disturbance as that of yes
,erday. The mere fact of the arrest OF
the decline relieved the market of a
weight Of forced liquidation through
wiping out of margins and uncovering
stop loss orders.
The imminence of triple holiday
interval emphasized the disposition Of
the large short interest to cover, and
this constituted an important sustain
ing influence. There was perceptlble,
also, the operation of the usual secon-
Diary causes in the reselling OF stocks
bought at the bottom prices yesterday
by lucky speculators eager to secure
quick profits, or by banking interests
and insiders who bought yesterday
solely for the purpose of checking de-
moralization and with no desire to re-
tain their holdings.
Still another class of selling came
from belated liquidation that had been
carried through the break of yester-
day. save heavy sacrifice with the con-
dition of retirement at the first avail
able opportunity.
Aside from the buying by the shorts
there was not an aggressive demand
and the hesitation of the buying in
creased as prices extended the re-
covery. The needs of the bears still
uncovered were indicated In raidlng
tactics on special stocks.
The issuance of the call for the con-
dition of the national banks by the
comptroller of the currency was given
additional interest by the simultaneous
call of the New York banking depart
ment on the state banks and trust COM
panies. The statement of the condition
OF all the great credit institutions on
an identical date is partly Illuminating,
owing to the check on any shifting Of
accounts between them which might
disguise the real condition.
There is no doubt that a synchronous
report that all the credit institutions
throughout the country would be par
ttcularly valuable at this time owing
to the suspicion of extensive interest
by national banks indirectly through
operations of allied institutions in land
speculation. The present call for the
statement of conditions, coming as it
does at this time, represents an un-
usually long wait between times for
calls.
The poor showing of the July condi-
tion of cotton in the government re-
port and the upturn in the wheat mar
ket was little regarded in the stock
market.
Bonds were firner. Total sales par
value, $2,624,000. United States bonds
unchanged on call.

SON. member of the Chicago board of trade,

Los Angeles.
CHICAGO, July lit has been mainly an
evening up market today, all being disposed to
curtail open risks pending possible weather de-
velopments over the three holidays. North
west and other markets, like this one, opening
easier and sold up because of the desire of
shorts to secure profits and avoid possible
losses. Apparently a settled belief that the
northwest has suffered considerable damage
already and that favorable weather is neces-
sary to prevent further damage Illinois has
sold more new wheat here today for future
shipment than at any previous time on the
crop. Sales are of small lots but numerous.
Corn has shown further strength today on
buying from strictly professional speculative
sources. Demand from the latter, however, is
widening and has already resulted in consid-
erable tightness in the market. The country
has sold corn for future delivery here, but the
cash sales from interior continue light.
Local spectators of the larger sort have
bought oats in deliberate way today on the
soft spots the market meanwhile taking on a
little color from corn advance. Country and
cash houses have sold a little today.
The delivery of 1750,0O0 barrels pork on July
&C cc1tracts did not present a stampede among
July shorts early, the price being bid up about
As cents at the outset. Other products failed
to sympathize, trade small and values of
lard and ribs eaSed off.

WOMAN sCoLDs BURGLAR.

With a revolver in her hand, Mrs.
J. w. Hunt. of Aurora, ILL.,, scolded
a burglar at her house Tuesday night,
and then advised him to depart. She
suggested that he get some work to
do and quit robbery as an occupation.
The intruder listened submissively
to the lecture" and promised to be
good. Then he fled into the darkness.
Mrs. Hunt was alone in the house,
and from couch on which she was
reclining she saw the face of man at

Peter, the four-year-old son OF FRANK

his home, at Porterville, few miles
north Of Kingston, n. Y, on Friday
last. Hundreds OF Italians searched
for the boy until yesterday morning,
when his body was found cut to pieces
alongside an outhouse on an adjoining
neighbors property.

when he returned Monday night the
father said that the fortune-teller had
told him that the boy would return

the body where ii was found. Searchers
