NEW YORK SECURITIES WEAK ON
LARGE VOLUME OF SHORT
SELLING.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Lower prices
N London where American securities
were sacrificed in the settlement Hquida-
uonss weather reports. labor troubles,
and other sinister influences served TO
unsettle the stock market from the
sound Of the gong today.
Trading was very active through the
first two hours and while prices melted
gradually the securities offered were
wei taken care Of. Most stocks opened
a shade higher than the close Of Satur-
day, out IL soon became evident that
no upward movement would begin
at least in the early trading The
supply Of stock was too abundant
and the shorts did not see why they
should rush TO cover merely to raise
prices They were passive and those
on IT, long side Of the market veta not
numerous enough or aggressive enough
to set-prices upward.
Following the lead OF London Cana
dian Pacific showed very weak at the
start and had lost ABOUT three points
IN the initial bids and trades Other
Pacific railroads fell of about a point
eacn in sympathy With the Canadian
read, and the whole rtilrOad list turned
downward Coppers were as weak as

hour many OF the industriaIs had joined

back the upward movement of the grain

today were far more attra ctiye TO specu-
lafors than the stock market.
About the close OF the second hour
the avalanche Of selling, including a
large volume BY shorts. was checked,
prices steadied and gradually rose near
