STOCK MARKET
FAIRLY ACTIVE
Preliminary Operations Very
Bullish-Time Money
Continues Firm.

New York. Aug. 3.-Preliminary
Operations in stocks today pointed to a
continuance of the bullishness that
characterized yesterdays dealings.
Business in the first nour was on a
scale representing a million shares
session and practically every import
ant security, Canadian Pacific except
ed. recorded substantial gains. Ex-
%tensive realizing for profits followed
the early outburst. however, and by
midday many gains had turned to
slight losses.
Activity was most pronounced in
Reading and Lehigh Valley. the form
er taking leadership from steel. Amer
lean Can, which were believed to bear
close market relationship to the an
thracite stocks, also became suddenly
strong. while standard railway shares
were comparatively neglected. Steel
attained q. slightly higher level than
on the preceding day. but reflected
pressure. which was ascribed in part
to the severe structures directed
against the steel corporation by the
Stanley committee. In the late deal
ings activity dwindled perceptibly and
the markets tone became more irreg-
ular. while some of the hitherto
strong specialties also yielded much Of
their advance. This condition was CO.
incident with the publication of the
governments cotton report as of the
latter part Of July. showing a pros
pective yield much under the average
of the past decade with resultant
nervousness in local cotton options.
Local banks are believed to be in
the way Of making further cash gains
tomorrow. but the local account May
show some expansion because of re-
cent activity In stocks. Time money
continues to hold firm with an in
creasing demand while call loans are
on the decrease.
Bonds manifested A better demand,
especially in the more speculative is
sues. Total sales par value a~ggregat-
ed S2,265. 900.
Government bonds were unchanged
