STRENGTH PERVADED .THE STOCK MARKET,
 FOREIGN RATES 0FF
Market at Its Best In the Final Hour, With Rail News Suiting the
 Investors
By Assooiatad Press '


 New York, July 29.--An undercur rent of strength pervaded the stock market today, despite the more acute weakness of international remittances. the rate on London, for example, fall ing to the lowest quotatio since last March.
 Offerings of sterling bills were un- usually extensive, according to the re- port of dealers, some of whom were in- clined to regard the selling as, specu- fative in large part French. Italian and Spanish exchanges reacted in sym pathy with the break in British rates. Stocks derived much of their support from the optimistic statement of Cover nor Harding of the federal reserve board regarding credit conditions. Greater ease of call money, most of which loaned at per cent, was an ad- ditional factor in the advance of prices. The market was at it's best in the final hour, when rails were brought forward on rumors that the interstate commerce commission would soon an nounce freight and passenger rates ac- ceptable to the railway executives.
 Reading, Southern Pacific and South ern railway featured the more active transportations at gains of to points Substantial gains were also made b. Republic and Crucible steels and U. S. Steel made a net advance of A points after further early heaviness.
 Oils. motors, woolens and textiles rallied with such ease as to cause ur- gent short covering, and several of the prominent miscellaneous specialties closed at gains of 1 to points.
 Trading in bonds was less active, but the tone was stronger, especially for Liberty issues and several of the inter- national group.
 Total sales. par value. aggregated S9.175,000.
 Old U. S bonds were unchanged or call.

Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, July 9.-(Special. )-Had Judge Gary given as a parting word
 before he sailed for Europe a few
 days ago. that he is now an optimist,
 a message of that kind would have
 Teen gladly received. But he went
 even farther. saying that he goes to
 Europe more of an optimist than at any time in the past six years. Yet he was not pessimist at any time since the European war began. He always spoke words of encouragement even in those somewhat dark days when the Steel Corporations business
 was at so low an ebb that it was nec- essary to decide whether dividends should be suspended in order that wages be maintained or whether divi- dends be paid and wages reduced. The stockholders were deprived of their dividends but the wage earners re- ! ceived their usual pay and little later ! an increase. Judge Gary is one of that considera- ble number who since the armistice | was signed have said that the debt of ] several billion which Europe and | Great Britain owed then to the United
 States could be liquidated not by send | ing gold, for there was no gold to send, | but either by the purchase by the Unit | ed States of European securities or
 else by buying upon very large scale commodities manufactured in Great ! Britain and Europe. or by both of these | methods.
 | Wben Henry P. Davison returned l from Europe and also when his asso- ciate. Thomas W. Lamont. came back 1, both spoke earnestly in favor of in-
 creased purchases by the United States | of commodities manufactured in Great | Britain and in Europe. For they said
 that Europe could pay her debt if we | bought sufficient amount of her com- | modities, and if we absorbed the se- curities that were of intrinsic value | which she sent here for sale.
 Judge Gary sailed for Europe before
 he knew officially from Washington how great the increase in our imports 1 was in the month of June. It was q 1 remarkable increase and he may learn | while at sea by wireless what the 1 Washington reports are. If he does, he will feel gratified at this evidence | that our imports are increasing so
 rapidly that we may look forward to l the time when they will become 50
 heavy as to make it clear that in this
 way some part and a large part of the Indebtedness will be liouidated.

which is hidden in the figures that tell
 of our June imports is discovered when
 some analysis of the imports is made.
 For study of these figures makes 1t
 clear that the imports in great measure
 represent the demands of American
 manufacturers.
 In the II months of the past fiscal year our imports of raw materials al
 most exclusively needed for manufac-
 turing purposes were of the money value of nearly two billion dollars. or little over eight hundred millions more than in the like period of the preceding year.
 If our manufacturers continue to im- port crude material as they did in the past fiscal year and apparently they | the continuing to do this, then it means that American production Is to be greatly increased and our manufactur- 1 CTS will be able to meet domestic and foreign demands. that come to them. If we take. for example, our imports 1 of India rubber, they will show tha. | the rubber industry of the United ! has grown to an increase unimaginet l | by those who made forecasts of the | industry few years ago. Rubber is one of the crude materials which we do not produce.

AN IMPORT OF COTTON

Many persons would be astonished to learn that the United States is i'm porting cotton, for the general assump tion has been that we produced enough for our own needs and for export which some times reached in a single year as much as five hundred million dol lars in value. But our manufacturers did buy in the past fiscal year three hundred and forty million pounds. which is almost a hundred million pounds more than the highest record made up to this year.
 We paid about four hundred and fifty million dollars for our imports of raw silk. Other figures might be given which would farther explain the unprecedented import of raw materials. This material is speedily converted by our manufacturers into merchandise ready for the markeE. so that although the figures which tell of the increase of imports seem at a superficial read ing. somewhat alarming. nevertheless they have no other meaning than that American manufacturers are preparing production upon an unprecedented scale.

FOR GRANTING PARDONS
Federal Judge Wonders How He
Could Shorten Cattleman's
Term

CHICAGO. July 0.-The action OF
President Wilson in shortening the
prison sentence of James Dorsey. sem
fenced to an eight-year term for US
ing the mails to sell tubercular cattle,
was criticised by Federal Judge Ian
dis yesterday in a statement con-
demning Presidential pardons to con-
victed criminals. The statement was
made during the judges hearing of
the Daniel Hayes Land Company
bankruptcy case.
'In this case / am interested in
seeing the crooks go to JAIL" said
Judge Lands. But I suppose now
that the President has cut Dorsey's
sentence, a full pardon will be grant
ed. eventually, What frame OF mind
must a man be in to exercise a par
don in such a case?'
Dorsey is a wealthy Illinois cattle
man.
