Stocks React
After. Further
Rise of Prices
Cotton Quotations Slightly
Firmer, While Wheat
Rallies Sharply; Foreign
Exchanges Are Irregular

The stock market was again primar-
lily thing unto itself yesterday, re-
spending to speculative influences from
within rather than to fuctuating events
in the world outside. For the greater
part of the session the buying, long
buying and covering, which began on
Wednesday continued to drive quota
tions upward after the declines of
nearly two months.
By the beginning of the last hour
Of trading, however, the potency Of
the buying movement waned as oppos-
ing forces waxed in strength. Soon
the gains for the day were effaced and
some stocks, particularly the steels and
the sugars, actually revealed net losses
for the day. The reversal of form in
the closing minutes Of trading was
ascribed largely to q food of profit
taking orders. The quick shifts reveal
to what great extent the flow of quo
tations depends on the whims of pro-
fessional spectators.
Call funds were available all through
the day at 51a per cent, as the pressure
Of July / disbursements was lifted.
Nevertheless, the weekly statement of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
showed lower reserves as a result of
the drift of funds westward in connec-
ton with preparations for crop moving
and of the effect of mid-year settle
ments." Although the reserve ratio of
the local bank therefore revealed a sub
stantial decline the system as whole
underwent little change.
There was irregularity in the for
eign exchange market, but no signifi-
cant changes. Cotton prices, highly
sensitive to Wall Street speculative op-
erations, rose early in the day with
security quotations and reacted later
when stock prices fell. However, all
the gains were not Offset. Net in
creases amounted to 10 to .18 points.
In the wheat pit prices were firm
throughout the session and closed with
gains Of 81 to cents bushel. Buy
ing was stimulated by reports about
the status of the crops.

Tn Vail Street
Differ Over Railroad Outlook

While the Street Is talking buliish
on the railroad stocks, arguing that by
fall earnings will have shown a decided
turn for the better, the opinion in
operating circles is not so optimistic.
II Is held in these quarters that al
though gross revenues may show sub
stantial increases operating expenses
will be larger because of the taking
on of more men for repair work in
the shops and the farming out of many
bad order cars to the equipment COM
panies. This, coupled with the re-
sumption of deferred maintenance, will
cut down net to considerable extent.
1t was estimated yesterday that the
July pay checks for the railroad work
ers will be made at an annual rate
of about $360,000,000 less than those
for last year, through the operation
Of the IL per cent wage reduction that
became effective July /. This estimate
is about s4o,000,000 under that made
by the Railroad Labor Board at the
time TIVE wage cut was first announced.
1t was understood that the previous
estimate was based on sthe number of
men on the railroad pay roll in 1920.

The Steel Price Reductions

Some rather caustic comment is in
orlged in by some of the steel trade
pupllcatlons concerning the recent for
MAJ announcements of price reductions
by the Steel Corporation and leading
independents. 1t is pointed out that
nearly all the steel products on which
cuts have been announced this week
nave recently sold in the case of some
desirable orders at lower than the re-
duced prices. Even the Steel Corpora-
tlon' it is stated, seems indisposed at
TINS time to designate any of its QUO
tations as fixed. "The chief object in
announcing formal price reductions"
says The American Metal Market. "ap-

try from the appearance of receiving

that to every one the justification will

City Banks Showing

The National City Bank of New York
has regained its former position of
supremacy among the banking institu-
tions of the country as regards depos-
its. The statement of the bank as of
June 80 shows that deposits have risen
again and stand now above those of
the Guaranty Trust Company, which
took the lead in February. Total de-
posts at the end of June were $685.
665,823 against $685., 1892, 131 on the date
of the February call. The statement
puts total assets at $86s,o46, 166. com
pared with $969,s34,o2 in February
Loans and discounts were reduced from
1922, ,236 to $526,S92, 739 between
the dates Of the two calls, while CAPT
tai, surplus and undivided profits
dropped from s1o6,982,975 to s1O4,4e0-
All. One of the most striking features
of the statement was the reduction in
the City Banks borrowings at the
Federal Reserve Bank of New YORK.

and June 30

Crude Oil Production Less

The estimated daily production Of
crude oil in the United States for the
week ended July 2 was 1,315,950 bar-
rels, according to figures compiled by
the American Petroleum. Institute. Al
though this was a decrease of $50 bar
rels from the total production of the
preceding week, it was not as large a
the decreases that occurred in the two
previous weeks. 1t was significant,
however, that production declined in
Oklahoma, Kansas, Central Texas, Gulf
Coast and Wyoming. A gain of $4,000
barrels daily in the North Louisiana
Arkansas district was responsible for
the small reduction in the total daily
output. This came almost entirely
from the new Ell Dorado field, where
pipe lines were recently connected.
