OF the market seemed to be that the

least. prospects of a bumper crop and
tho surplus stocks which were the
basis of the situation outlined at the
conference.
The market opened at the advance,

are prices for the general industrial

Just before the close yesterday, was
an evidence that some important in

higher levels, and that these interests
are quietly absorbing U. s. Steel COM
mon during varying movements ear

The present strength Of the steel

to the assurance given the steel pro-

this scheme long ago.
There was a fair sized increase In
the outside demand for stocks, but the
advancing tendency of the market
was checked in the second hour by the
presence of some profit-taking sales
FOR the account Of the more timid
longs.
What news reached the financial
district was construed as being of q
rather favorable import. and sentiment
in local financial circles growing out
Of the current weeks events seems to
be Of more cheerful kind.
The advance in the price of copper
was a much-discussed topic and
heightened the hopes in conservative
circles that developments Of the fu-
ture touching on price fixing pro-
cedures may be Of sort to further
cheerful ideas. The status of the al
lies on the European battle fronts has
been much improved recently and this,
coupled with the apparent discomfort
in the Teutonic countries. serves to
promote q more optimistic feeling in

fiuences Of the moment and the more
constructive temperament Of the, ma
jority in the financial district. a bet
terment in security prices may be

Steels Of the Independent Group
Retain Advance Made-Bank
Statement,
By the Associated Press,


NEW YORK. July 6.-opening with
an uncertain tone. today's curtailed
session Of the stock market soon
evinced flrrner tendencies. in a few In
stances developing marked strength.
Steels OF the so-called independent
group. notably Crucible, Sloss-Shef-
field and Superior: oils, particularly
Mexican Petroleum. and Marine pre-
ferred and minor war issues. all re-
tained the greater part Of their 1 to 2
point advances.
Low-priced coalers also shared in
the irregular movement. Reading sec-
ond preferred. Chesapeake and Ohio
and Pittsburgh and West Virginia
averaging one-point gains. but stand
ard rails kept within fractional limits,
showing virtually no change at the end.
United Safes Steel made a frac-
tfonal advance to Its best quotation
of the week, but closed at a slight
loss. Metals moved sluggishly and nu-
merous other speculative favorites re-
ceived Scant attention. Sales amount
ed to 100000 shares.
The bank statement was interest
ing for its decided reversal from the
previous weeks favorable exhibit.
Excess reserves showed an actual de-
crease of $145,5 900, which more
than Offset the huge gain reported
at the end of the fiscal year: and q
decrease of s156,00o.00O in reserves
the federal reserve bank exceeded by
about s27.O00,O00 the recent gain in
that item.
Bonds were firm. most of the war

about steady. Total sales (par value)
were S1.S7500O.
United States bonds Gold issues)
were unchanged on call during the
week.
Trading in stocks during the dull
and irregular week lost none of its
recent professional characteristics
but moderate accession of invest
nent buying followed the advent of
the new fiscal year.
Speculative interests derived much
encouragement from the further lib
erality shown by the government in
Its policy of price fixing, the advance
, to the copper producers exceeding the
most sanguine expectations.
Some uneasiness followed the pub
lication of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion's arraignment of various indus
trial companies, and the attitude of
the administration toward the coun-
try's telegraph and telephone COM
panies provokes moderate liquida-
The money markets adapted them
selves more generally to the demands
created by war finance, time funds
showing increasing paucity. New
capital financing is in process of
negotiation by corporations engaged
in large and profitable contracts. So
far as is now known. all the proposed
issues will take the form Of short
term notes.
General trade conditions offer
ground for confidence, bank cIearings

fore reported for that month. al

falling off.

COTTON MARKETS,

NEW YORK. July 6.-There was
renewal Of yesterdays sharp buying
movement in the cotton market today
and a further sharp advance in prices.
October contracts. for instance, sold
up to 2b.27, making net advance Of
IS points. and q recovery of no less
than 1852 points from the low level of
Wednesday. Realizing, caused reac-
tions later, with that delivery closing
at 2497, and with the general list
closing steady at a net gain Of 28 to
Sc points.
I SO far as indicated by the talk
around the ring there was no fresh
factor connected with the advance.
1t seemed the opinion among locals
that the break on the government
crop report Of last Tuesday had left
futures in strong technical position
with a large short interest outstand-
ing and with contracts in the hands
Of the trade or other strong interests.
Nervousness over the complaints Of
drouth in Texas with the probability
OF weevil damage in eastern belt sec
tions and the absence of more gen.
eral selling against either old or
prospective new crop cotton was con-
stdered chiefly responsible for the
covering movement, which started
yesterday, and which was active again
during today's earlier trading. The
market opened steady at an advance
Of to 18 points, with July selling up
to 28.05 during the middle Of the
morning. or 81 points net higher. while
the new crop showed gains Of IS to

NEW YORK, July 6.-Aside from the
continued satisfactory character OF
the war news, the prospect OF Con-
eress adjourning for a recess until
August 12 was the only important
news development of the day dis
cpssed in the financial district
It had some influence in stimulating
the bullish activity OF most local
traders during the early part OF the
day and in the various industrtals
specialties. Among the stocks they
favored in this buying movement were
Mexican Petroleum. Marine preferred.
American Can, Crucible. International
Nickel, Tennessee Copper. Midvale
steel. Allis-Chalmers, Baldwin Loco
motive and Railway Steel Springs.
In the last hour the usual profit
taking sales by traders following the
policy of either reducing or closing
out their speculative commitments
over Sunday slightly predominated
and closed the market quiet, with most
Of the early advance lost. except in
q few Of the gpecialties mentioned
above.
The undertone was good. hAvsver.
