The ancient Egyptians reaped their grain close to the ear and afterward cut straw close to the ground and laid it by. It was this straw that Pharaoh refused to give to the Israelites. It was because of this refusal to give the longer straw to the Israelites that they were compelled to gather stub ble." This was matter of consider able difficulty, seeing that the straw itself had been cut off near to tho ground.

STOCK MARKET
 BOUNDS FORWARD
Less Active Specialties Att tract Traders and Market
 Closed Firm

New York. July 1--After brief period of hesitation at the opening today's mar Ret bounded forward on a strong and broad inquiry for rails, shippings and some of the less active specialties.
 Trading became more sharply defined with the progrjess of the short session, in- dustrials, notably the steels and equip ments, showing only moderate strength at best and falling away towards the end. United States Steel forfeited vir- tuaily all it's 1 point gain and some oth- -er shares of the same class finished with moderate net losses.
 The movement in rails centered around Canadian Pacific, it's subsidiary, "Soo;" Union and South Pacifics, New York Gen. trai and the entire coal group at ex- rreme gains of 112 to points.
 Shippings were featured by an ad- vance of 3A points in American Inter- national corporation, recently listed on the stock exchange, but Marines and associated issues were irregulaly lower. American Sugar was unusually active at gross gain of 21a points and motors and oils contributed to the general in1- provement. Profit taking caused recess sions of 1 to 1A points at the strong close.
 The new system of tabulating the weekly bank statement which eliminates all reserves of national banks except those held for them by the local fed- eral reserve bank was largely responsi- ble for the decrease of $242. .308, ,050 in act ual reserves. leaving the item of s36, ,1449 $40, the smallest total since the new nation ai banking laws became operative. Re serves of member banks in the federal reserve districts by more than $139, 900 900.
 One of the days adverse features was the further decline in liberty bonds odd lots selling from $99 25-50 down to $99. Grading in regular lots was mostly at 1s9 45. 50 to s99 40.50
 v The general bond market was steady, few of the minor rails recording frac- tional advances, while international is- sues held firm. Total sales (par value), aggregated S1,S25, 600. On call during the week United States coupon and regis tered As declined 16c with 1 per cent advance in registered S's and A per cent in coupon 3s.
