GENERAL ADVANCE N
n. Y. STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 15.-That most OF
the selling in the stock market is for
the account of professional traders was
proved this afternoon. when there was
a general advance in the market i,nme-
diately before the close. Always be-
fore an extended holiday in Wall street
there is an evening up of contracts and
the last few minutes Of trading dis
closes the identity of the majority
party In a market where the public
predominates the final trading In al
ways sharp decline, because they are
! taking profits. In a professional! bear
market the taking of profts means
that stocks are bought and so the last
dealings cause q sharp advance, just
as was the case today
The market opened in the morning,
but almost Immediately began selling
off. Short covering forced II up and by
midday there were some material ad-
vances recorded. but particularly In
those stocks where a short interest
exists. particularly In Crucible. Bald
win, Pan-American and Telephone.
Then heavy selling began again and
this was kept up until about half an
hour before the close.
The final figures showed more de-
ciines than advances in net but only
d few of these were material. Even
those were in stocks not very active
as. Tor instance Cuban-American Sugar.
which showed net advance of twenty
nine points. and Central Foundry. pre-
ferred, which declined seven points
Most OF the other changes were limited
to fractions.
Announcement that the Interboiough
Metropolitan employees had demanded
so per cent increase in wages and
would strike unless 1t was granted
came in the last hour. but had no in
fuence on the market.
The most severe loss of the day from
Wall street point of view was that
! in American Sunatra. The decline OF
FIVE points hurt because 1t came after
several days of declining market in
the stock.

we're big sellers Thursday and the con-
sequent big buyers today. To even up
their position they were forced to meet
heavy losses.

there was good profit taking. then de-
clined to s1,45%. May reached the low

ceipts. Receipts Of Argentina corn
showed an increase for the week.

BUYERS ACCEPT
WAITING POLICY

New York. Aug. l5-Dun's tomorrow
will say in part:
That the country wide price agita-
ton has wrought a change In business,
the full meaning OF which cannot now
be clearly determined, the weeks ad-
vices have made plsiner. signs Of hes
itating markets do not appear In every
quarter. but are unmistakAble in tex
tiles. and hides and leather and some
other leading lines. and certain com.
ro6ities that for months had been con-
spicuous for their buoyancy have
lately displayed yielding tendencies.
Evidences multiply Of the pronounced
revival OF construction activities. build
irg permits issued at l0s Of the coun-
try's representative cities In July In
volving an estimated expenditure OF
<12S.7sS957. This total Is not only
1A7 per cent In excess of the s114.-
Ss2,111 recorded At l01 centers in June.
but Is the heaviest of any month In a
long period.
Contrasting with the trend In cer-
tain other commodities. prices of some
iron and steel products have turned up
ward. Supply and demand conditions
appear to be working In sellers favor.
and interference with lake and rail
movements by strikes ana car shortage
has induced manufacturers to adopt =
conse rvative policy respecting future
business
Another weeks developments have
emphasized tho change which has oc-
CURED In textile markets since the In
ception OF the widespread movement
forward lowering OF living costs. In
stead Of the former rush to secure sup
plies against anticipated shortage many
buyers have decided TO withdraw from
the markets and watch conditions. and
prices OF some products have yielded
sharply.
The hide trade. with its allied lines.
has been quick to reflect the agita.
ton against high prices. and the
aspect OF the general situation has
changed appreciably. Not only 10
more conservatism now manifest than
for = considerable period. but buyers
have largely withdrawn from the mar
skets, believing that waiting will prove
profitable policy. and the recent &C.
tivity has been replaced BY . condition
Of dullness.
