REcEssIoNs AND ADVANCES
For the Most Part Within a Very
Narrow Range.

New York, Aug. 17--Irregularity
was the dominant note of the stock
market today, the list receding and
advancing half a dozen times during
part within a very narrow range. In
the later trading, however, the market
steered a more direct upward course
and added very generally to- it's gains
OF the previous day.
Denials from abroad of the consum-
nation of the much discussed copper
merger impaired some heaviness TO the
metal stocks despite the publication of
figures showing reduction in the Eu-
ropean supply for that commodity and
the recent large sales here for domeS-
tic delivery. Stocks of the iron and
steel companies were generally stron g
in the face of further price cutting.
United States Steel led these issues
and apparently large short interest in
that stock was again materially re-
cuced.
In the railway list Reading and I'm
ion and Southern Pacific were most
nspicuous, and the movement in
these stocks was ascribed to accumu-
lation by responsible interests. The
Hartman shares were helped in no
small degree by the favorable crop
reports received from the agricultural
districts along that system and the
rise in Rock Island was attributed to
the same cause.
The most interesting item from
broad was the exhibit of the Imperial
Bank of Germany, which showed a
further gain in it's gold holdings and
an enormous increase in deposits.
Americans were the strongest feature
of the London market and operations
for that account here aggregated about
10000 shares, equally divided between
purchases and sales, the latter consist
ing largely of copper shares. The gen
eraI markets of London We're inclined
to heaviness on the unfavorable show
ing made by one of the rubber COM
panies
The only noteworthy railroad return
issued today was that of the Baiti-
more and Ohio road for July. in which
an increase of s455.0o9 in gross earn
ings was reversed to loss of s154000
in net.
The feature of the bond market was
the strength and activity of the New
York state canal bonds. which adj
vanced to 1913, figure well above that
paid by the purchasers at public bid
yesterday. The entire bond list was
steady, with an advance in United
States tours of one-quarter per cent
on call. Total sales, par value, aggre-
gated S2,05e,O00.
