FINANCIAL AND COMMERCE..
MARKET VAS ACTIVE

New York, July 26.7Trading in stocks today was a trifie broader and more active but the increased dealings were largely at the expense of values, many leaders showing extreme declines of ] to points.
 President arding's message to con- Eress urging payment of obligations to the transportation systems farm credits and facilitaton of exports failed to stim- ulate bullish initiative in the slightest degree.
 Rails were listless and little altered but steels, equipments, oils, motors and the many specialties more or less de- pendent upon those issues were under intermittent pressure. feathers were ad- verseiy affected by the poor quarterly statment of the central leather com pany and sdvices from the mildle west and New England indicated further slackening of industrial production. Sales amounted 3sO,oOO shares.
 Publication of the U. s. Steel Corpora tion's statement for the second quarter, issued after the close of the session, showed total earnings of s21@92,O16, the smallest return of any quarter since March of 1915.
 The only development in the money market, where call and time funds held at recent quotations was a slight cas- ing of rates for bank acceptances and additional buying of commercial paper. Another reaction in foreign exchange, with escpecial heaviness in Scandinavian remi:tsnces was again ascribed to sales in London and Paris of sterling bills against purchases of dollar exchange.
 Business in the bond market fell of slightly, but the recent strong tone among rails an dnew corporate offerings was fully maintained. Liberty issues were irregular. but most internationals isnored the weakness of eSschahge, showing variable advances. Total sales CDar value) aggregated 1o,s5O OO0.
