NEW YORK, July 21.-Although
the cabled dispatches from abroad did
not indicate any decided change in
the tone of London and continental
stock markets, the buying for foreign
account impaired to the New York
stock exchange a strong tone today
and contributed largely to the adj
yancing prices from Il to ia points
over the closing level OF last week.
For number of the leading stocks
new high prices for the present move
ment were established; without any
great activity the market carried for
ward last weeks advances steadily.
To say that business resulted in the
largest total sales since the middle OF
June does not mean that business
was active for as matter of fact
less than 100000 shares were done.
Apart from conditions in Europe
there was nothing in the days news
of sufficient moment to influence
prices either way.
