Stock Market

fBv The ASsoeiated Press) NEW YORK, July 14.-The most en- couraging feature of today's uncertain
 stock market was the comparative
 steadiness of the railroad division in the face of more strike conditions. A lew secondary or minor transporta-
 tons, such as St. Paul preferred, Mis-
 sourl Pacific preferred and Wheeling
 and Lake Erie preferred, were moder- 'ately heavy, but the investment group
 was well supported.
 ' Otherwise, the list was spotty and ir | regular, forenoon declines of one to ! four points among oils. steels. euuip- ments, motors and shippings being followed by general recoVeries later.
 At the end, however, gains and losses
 were mixed. sssi Htl
 Shorts in Mexican Petroleum were.
 again punished, that stock rising all. most 10 points from it's low of the. morning and closing at a net gain of
 "A points after having shown n loss, Of IA points. Pan American Petro, leum, Mexican Seaboard and Standard
 Oil of California also benefited by the vigorous recoil in Mexican Petro- leum.
 Former favorites of the equipment and motor types were tossed to and fro during the early and intermediate periods, but finished at substantial gains with American Can and ConsoI- dated Gas. Final prices for most of tae miscellaneous issues showed trif- ling changes. Sales amounted to 7S5,- GOO shares.
 The three per cent opening and re- newal rate for call loans was met by prNate offerings at 2% per cent in | the latter part of the day. Such funds | were freely available at as low as 2Jh per cent. Time money was firm at AZ ! 10 Az per cent but high grade com . mercial paper was marketed at as low as per cent.
 Another light day was reported in the foreign exchange market, where 1 the further firmness of sterling bills was m striking contrast to reactionary tendencies elsewhere. Allied remittan- ces eased to 6 points and most oI the neutrals, Norway and Sweden ex- cepted were lower with German marks TWO points under their recent top.
