STOCK MARKET

New York, July 23-The irregular
drift Of the opening continued through
out the early session. Shippings and
few specialties moved smartly up
ward. but motors and war shares made
little Roadway, some Of the steels re-
cording half way recoveries. Rails We're
seldom quoted and lost one of their un-
certain tone. The easing of money
rates. call loans renewing at 8 per cent
was among the few encouraging devei-
opments Of the forenoon. Bonds were
steady on nominal dealings, Liberty
S1a's selling at 99.46 to 99.49.
Events Of over the week end, par
ticularly developments in Russia were
unfavorably interpreted by traders at
the opening Of today's market. War
stocks reflected moderate pressure, de-
clines in representative industrials and
equipments extending from l to 2
points. Coppers and motors showed a
renewal Of last weeks heaviness and
rails were irregular. st. Paul again
yielding to its recent minimum Deal
ings were light and restricted to the
more speculative groups.
Standard stocks were at lowest prices
in the last hour, the heaviness OF rails
being featured by four point break in
Canadian Pacific. The closing was
heavy. Liberty Bonds 99.45 to S9.4S.

REVIEW

Chicago, July 23-Corn showed a ten
dency to hardin in value today owing
largely to the scantiness of reserve
stocks and to continued urgent demand
for supplies available for immediate
use. Influential selling on bulges, how
ever served to check any radical ad-
vance. Opening prices. which ranged
from the Same as Saturdays finish to
NC higher, with September at s1.63 to
sf.SsH and December at s1.16A to
$1l6k, were followed by something OF
setback, but then by a fresh moderate
upturn.
Later the September option advanced
to the highest level yet this season. Re-
ceipts here were small, and so too were
rural offerings The close was nervous
" to INC net higher at S163A Septem-'
Der and $1.1sA to $1.17 December,
New advances in the price Of wheat
resulted from the senate vote favorable
to quotation Of 81 a primary centers,
North Dakota and Canada. After open
ing to 1Ac higher, at s2.65 July and
1929 September the market scored fur
Their gains.
The fact that the decrease in the
United States visible total was small
did not lead to any important bearish
reaction. The close was unsettled 3A TO
&c net higher. with July at $3.50 and
September at $2.31h.
Heavy rains that interfered with
harvesting carried the oats market up
pective abnormally large substitution
Of oats for corn.
Higher quotations on hogs lifted pro-
visions Arrivals of hogss at western
points were far less numerous than on
the corresponding day last week.
