MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, July 13.-The so-called
war shares together with allied indus
trials and equipments comprised the
bulk of the trading today. Highest
prices ever recorded We're scored by
the Bethlehem Steel at 1881. Ameri-
can Can at 515-S, New York Air
brake at 1861, General Motors at 17S,
Studebaker at S1s4 and Republic Steel
preferred 80. Other correlated issues
made gains of to points and Amer
lean Coal Products added another 121a
points to its recent ascent, all of
which it later relinquished.
United States Steel was again the
most active stock. being in demand at
steady though slight advances on
growing realization of betterment in
the steel industry. Can and Westing-
house came next in volume of output
1t was regarded as significant of the
markets trend that such usual ia
vorites as Reading, Union Pacific and
Amalgamated Copper were relatively
inactive. Prices reacted from their
best in the final hour. with some heav-
mess in Union Pacific, Canadian Pa
cific. American Smelling and Anal
gamated Copper, which closed with
moderate net losses Total sales
amounted to $1,000 shares, the most
active session in almost fortnight.
Foreign exchange markets reflected in
measure the success of the new
British war loan. Sterling bills being
distinctly firmer, though losing a trife
later on offerings of commercial bills.
An entertaining development of the
exchange situation was the receipt Of
gold to the amount of $1,000, 900 from
South America, the importation being
made possible only because exchange
naturally favors this market
That railroad tonnage is beginning
to move forward was seen in the
latest statement of idle cars as of
July l. showing a decrease in the sur
plus of such equipment of almost 25,-
900 cars compared with the preceding
month. This favorable condition was
partly Offset by ruling of the In
terstate Commerce Commission which
suspended rate increases in structural
steel between chicago and Pacific
coast points.
Foreign selling of bonds was on a
diminished scale today, but a large
part Of the trading was in United
States Steel fives Total sales, par
value, aggregated s2.s20,OoO
United States bonds unchanged on
call.
