SOME STOCKS IN

AND OTHERS WEAK
Trading on New York Stock
Exchange Attended by Some
Confusion as Result.
BY MAX KASE.
I. N. s. Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, July 18.-There was
a good deal of confusion at the trad
ing on the stock exchange today.
Some issues Eel to fresh low levels for
recent trading. while others were
strong and in urgent demand.
Baldwin Locomotive was one Of the
features in the afternoon on favorable
eraning estimates. rising 2 points
to rs. Notwithstanding reports about
a trade war some steel stocks were
firmer. u. S. Steel advanced over
point to TAX, and Republic steel
gained points to A..
General Electric was one Of the
weak features. being in heavy supply
and dropping ~ to 1l7%. Atlantic
Golf also, was under pressure and
dropped to- 1879.
The sugar stocks were active
throughout the session. receding
from the top. Mexican Petroleum
had the widest range, reacting from
l07k to 102%.
The trading throughout the ses-
sions generally was dull. with the
attendance small. The belief pre-
vailed that trade conditions In the
steel industry had been discounted.
There were expectations of an easier
tone to call money. and the strong
reserve position of the Federal Re-
serve Banks was emphasized.

Another Issue of u. S.
