FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH.
There Was a Reawakening of Aetiv
ity in the Railroad Shares.

New York. July 27-The demand
for stocks broadened today and the
market gave the best exhibition OF
sustained strength which has been
witnessed In some time. OF particular
significance was the re-awakening OF
activity In the railroad shares The
duilness and heaviness Of these stocks
of late, together with reports of di-
minishing earnings and the possibility
Of dividend reductions in some in
stances, have constituted one of the
most unfavorable aspects of the sit
uation. Today, however, wave OF
optimistic feeling pervaded all quar-
tiers Of the market and the railway
issues gradually came into the lead
in speculation. Total sales were $50,
900 shares.
The rise began with further mark
ing up Of the war stocks, several OF
which again made high records. The
buying movement spread to other spe-
cia1ties, with speculation restricted
largely to the industrials during the
morning. In the afternoon, however
buying shifted to the railroad stocks
buoyant rise in these issues was the
most dominant feature. Even the war
stocks were almost neglected in the
comprehensive movement through the
railroad list st. Paul was lifted L.

Among the industrials Bethlehem
Steel rose 90 points to $50, the pre-
ferred three points to 142, Crucible

connective 1-2 to 65; Can 1 5-8 to
81 7-S and Allis Calmers preferred
two points to IS LA. all new high rec
ords.
The rise was assisted by a consid-
cradle increase in commission house
buying. Added impetus to the move
ment was given by the differences
drawn from the conduct OF the mar
ket yesterday. The sharp recovery
from the break on the torpedoing of
th5 American steamer Leelanaw was
interpreted as an indication of under
lying strength. Buying OF railroad
stocks was prompted by an evident
scarcity OF these shares, and by ru-
moTS OF a. grant Of rate increases to
the western roads.
There was heavy buying Of steel in
anticipation OF a. favorable quarterly
statement. This expectation was real
lied fully when the statement ap-
peared after the close. Total earnings,
as had been predicted, were more than
twice those of the preceding quarter,
amounting to sgt ,950,055, as compared
with $12,457, 800 three months ago.
After deducting the dividend of 1 ga
per cent. on the preferred stock there
was a surplus Of $s,267.645 as against
deficit OF $5,3S9,S61 for the first
quarter of the year.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales,
par value, $2,90O, 900.

Chance For a Long Root.

tories out of three for the rest of the
season. Cause for uneasiness lies in
the pitching, but any sort Of general
settling in this department will mean
another fling at the Boston Red Sox.
or possibly the Detroit Tigers or the
Chicago White Sox- The SGce, all
thongs considered, Is quite as open as
it was on April Is. so that everything
depends on which team can jhold up a

In addition to the Chamber OF Conn

Russell Boy. by continual breaking,
delayed the start Of this race for near
ly half an hour. He acted so badly
that the judges thought another driver
might improve his chances, and Geers

second heat. He did no better for the
veteran. however.
The 2.05 pace went four rather slow
heats before Leila Patchen was return

and the horses were well punched at

no doubt about her ability to win. She
went out In front right at the start of

Jean and Hedgewood Patchen had a
pretty race in one heat of the 2.22 pace

SO strongly in favor Of the Boston
Braves last year. A number of ex-
cellent judges still insist that they
will drop of again. but for the life OF
me 1t is hard to understand their rea-
soning. The team as a whole is
strong, the men have settled down to
something nearer their true hitting
stride, while no club in the National
League is better fortified with pitch
ers. Baseball is uncertain, but ii
seems absurd to hold a team lightly
which has been playing so strongly
and consistently for the last three
weeks.
