Prices of Railroad Stock Ad-
vance When Crop Report
Comes Out.

NEW YORK, July s.-Canadian
Pacific, which declined 22s, was the
only stock to move more than a
fraction in the first dealings today.
Reading. Lehigh and Amalgamated
began the day unchanged, and the
other leading issues ranged slightly
under yesterdays close.
II a. m.-Rumors of an impending
$6O.00O,000 stock issue caused liberal
foreign and domestic selling of Cana
dian Pacific, under which it slumped
Az, to 209la. the years lowest. Weak
ness became widespread, Union Pa
cific, Reading, Southern Pacific and
Smelling yielding a point.
Noon-Accumulating bearish influ-
ences, which made little impression
on the market earlier in the week,
were more effective today In forcing
definite downward movement.
Greater prominence to the dead
locked condition in investment circles
was given by the renewed weakness
Of railroad and other bonds. Still
lowr prices prevailed for govern
ment bonds, the 2s being offered at
98% without takers. compared with
recent sales at 80.
/ p. Unofficial denials of the ru-
mored Canadian Pacific financing did
little more than arrest the decline In
prices. Canadian Pacific recovered
only a point, and others a slight frac-
ton.
2 p. mater the movements
consequent on the break in Canadian
Pacific had ended all the vim went
out of the trading, and the later
speculation was of an uninteresting
character. Attempts to buy stock
found the customary shortage at the
low figures. and the list gradually
worked upwards, while the demand
held.
Closing-The market closed firm,
Prices of railroad stocks advanced
after the government crop report
came out, Notwithstanding the large
falling off in condition and shrinkage
in indicated yield. Some shares solo
at the best, but the general list ended
with a sprinkling of small losses.
