sympathy with the action of corn and

ORES STOCK
MAKES HIGH RECORD

New York, Aug. 1.-The theory that
a large short interest was entrapped
ir the stock market proved correct to-
day. for with all the news of a char
acter to enjoin caution. the list was
rrm In all departments and actually
oya in spots. The most active
issues were the Whelan-Duke stocks.
These closed with a whirl at new high
record prices. Others to show distin-
Euished strength were stocks of small
metal companies. The few stocks that
declined showed only fractional losses.
Ii there had been an oyerbought con-
dition there would have been a deluge
or stock for sale. In addition to the
possibility Of high money that threat
ened the street all day. there was the
nationwide strike of railroad shopmen
and the double holiday. The fact hat
stocks advanced instead of declining
proved that the unwie1dy interest was
on the short side. The possibility of
optimistic developments owe the holt
day were too great for the professionals

Among the most cheerful bits of mar
ket information was the statement OF
the Federal Reserve bank admitting
that there had been heavy investment

lie.
Although the street in general main

Adyices to buy Mexican Petroleum
and P~an-American Petroleum continued
TO be heard in several quarters. The
former stock found many new admirers
and rose more than a point while Next
can Petroleum closed with a net gain
of one point.
Announcement that the Stutz Motor
c. mpany proposed issuing % 600 shares
OF new stock to shareholders at 500 a
share failed to have any depressing in
fuence on the quoted market price Of
the stock. In fact. the demand for this
issue forced it up two points.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

widest and most excited affair in the
history of the local exchange. jump
ing 200 points on enormou buying be-
tore twenty minutes had passed after
the publication Of he statement. where
Il was automatically stopped by the
limit upon fluctuations during a days
trading The full extent of the sur
prise to brokers can be understood
ftom the fact that there was only one
private figure as low as that of the
government, GIL The average of ali
private reports was 693.
Shorts made a big rush to buy right
after the issuance of the government
report. but as soon as these lines were
covered there was not sufficient trade
or speculative demand for the time
being to hold quotations. and on a
heavy volume Of outside selling, largely
from the South. prices broke rapidly
until more than half Of the gains had
ben wiped out.
Closing prices were very strong at
a net advance Of 1885 to 14S points.
SPOT here was steady at an advance
of $50 points at $50; there were no
sales. Spot at New Orleans was steady,
with nniddling Is points higher at 3+Ac;
the sales were 1895 bales.
