wilson's Views ON the Markets

fFrom j. G.. Wilson 4 Co.'S private wire.)
NEW YORK, July 21.-Trading in stocks was
almost wholly professional today. Heavy sell
ing of Southern Pacific, based on talk of low
underwriting price for Union Pachc's holdings
Of the stock. gave the market a moderate set
back from the level established early in the
session under the leadership OF Steel common.
We would prefer to buy the active trading stocks
dips for moderate turns.
Cotton--July advanced $2ea bale on belAted
short covering. August was nrmer but the new
crop months werel not much affected. The
Journal Of Commences monthly report was con-
sidered in many respects bearsh. 1t stated the
condition at ST., against 500 q month ago.
General sentiment still inrlines to the belief that
1t is best to sell bulges.
BOSTON, July 31.-The strength in the metal
market has a decidedly bulIish effect on the
coppers. and we feel convinced that prices are
gradually working toward higher levels.
CHICAGO, July 31.--The features today were
the great strength in corn and rust reports from
Minnesota wheat Between them they gave
us advance Of cent after weak
opening. but the advance did not hold,
as the trade thought rust reports were too late
to be effective. The strength in corn, however,

The wheat continues to come very bear

date help-new export business-is decidedly
tame. Taken all in all, especially while corn
keeps strong. would rather work wheat

orders were evidently executed at the
decline.
There was an active demand from re-
cent sellers around the initial prices.

be some trade buying. and prices rallied
several points from the lowest before the
