Y STOCK MARKET
AFFECTED BY Gill

. ~ = T. y -
New York. Aug. e2.-Further general
advance was made in the stock market
today because Of more short covering
and OF q more optimistic feeling re-
Earding possible steel strike. 1t
was also reported that passage of the
Edge bill for the establishing of ex-
change had been made certain. The
Improvement was seen In all depart
raents of the market for all had suf-
fered about equally In the campaign OF
professionals. Some Of theAe profess
sionals are still extremely bullish and
in this they have the backing OF prom
inent members of both the Morgan and
the Standard Oil groups OF fnanciers.
These hnanciers are not bearish except
for the purpose Of ACCOMPLISHING stocks.
They are planning an Important cam
paign in oil stocks for September and
October and want the general market
down as basis for operations.
Sinclair Oil. which is to be the CEN
t. al feature of this campaign. was very
strong today.
In addition to the Sinclair deal. there
are to be increases in the capital stock
Issues or several more Of the standard
Oil group and great deal Of this stock
il to be listed on the exchange.
The campaign In oil can be carried
on its managers believe. because of the
worlds shortage Of coal and the devei-
opmeflt of shipping which makes use of
oil necessity for all successful COM
panies.
A further investigation has been
made by authority among the workers
i'll the steel mills and II is found that,
only small percentage OF the men
want strike. Those who are favor
ing the strike are nearly all foreigners
The Americans will not join them. 1t
Ia not believed that the labor leaders
will dare issue = strike calr lest they
fail and be discredited. Even should
there be a strike. failure is practically
certain. Arrangements have been made
t. close down all the mills affected. 1t
can be set down ~ DEFINITE that the
United States Steel corporation will not
abandon the principle OF the open shop
Activity Of Mercantile Marine stock
attracted much attention because Of the
report that the company had succeeded
in buying several German ships. 1t
was also reported that . 10 per cent
"a yment in cash on account of the
back dividends on preferred would be
made at the next dividend period.
Persistent heaviness OF the railroad
at ocks IL due partly to the general un-
certainty ~ to what would become Of
the railroads, but Just now In particu-
lar to the heavy sales coming from
abroad. Great blocks Of railroad bonds
are being offered In Wall street for
foreign account and every international
troker has stocks for sale that have
not changed hands for q generation.
Foreign exchange yielded bit. but
in expectation Of passage OF the Edge
bin a much better sentiment prevails.
There is a material slackening also
OF exports as proved by the July state
ment
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1919-08-23
INCREASE:
EXPORTS DECREASE

Imports in July were the largest
in the history of the country. while
the exports were the lowest in any
month OF this year, according TO a
statement given out today by the
bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce OF the department OF COM
merce.
July imports were valued at $345.-
100000 as against 100000 In
June, 1919, and S242, 100000 m July.
1918. They are the largest monthly
imports in the history OF our foreign
trade, exceeding by $16.00D.000 the
previous high record in May Of this
year. Imports for the seven months
ended with July were $1.955.0o0. 900
In 1919, against $1.78s. 100000 in
1913, an increase In the last year Of
less than 10 per cent.
The excess OF exports over imports
was s225. 900 900 in July. and $2,663.-
900, 900 In the seven months OF this
year, 1859 100000 more than the ex-
cess In the seven months period of
1918 of 1000, an increase

there being A small reduction. but Of
ferinKs were not heavy
The market showed considerable
fiimness during the hrst hour. Offer-
ings were readily absorbed on the
esrly dip, and the market hrmed up
almost at once on further covering and
scattered buying promoted by the
frmer tone OF sterling exchange and
belief that prevailing weather con-
ditions in the South were the very
scrt to promote increased Insect dam
age.
Spot at New Orleans was quiet at an
advance OF 81 points to s07s for mid
ding: the sales were 7so bales. The
