SATURDAYS MARKET.

New York, Aug. 5.-AIoderate gains were registered by most of the active issues in today's half holiday session of the stock market. Total sales appTexi- mated 25o,0OO shares.
 The request of the four railroad broth erhoods for a conference with President Harding on the ground that a serious situation was developing in connection with the rail strike had little effect on the market, rail stocks generally making apreciable advances. Several new highs for the year were recorded in this group, notably by Chicago. Northwest- ern. Southern Railway common and pre- ferred. Atlantic Coast Line. St Louis and Southwestern and Pere Marquette.
 Short pressure was directed agains; some of the speculative favorites to- wards the close of the session. Mexican Petroleum reacting 1 1-2 points and Baldwin dropping 1-2, but the general list held up well.
 Kresge Company. following in the wake of Woolwrth, which reached a new high earlier in the week. jumped up five points, presumably, on reports of in creased July earnings by chain stores Corn products also broke through for a new high. and a good demand was noted for the sugar and tobacco stocks
 Sterling rates were strong, but some irregularity. was noted in the continen tai exchanges. Marks were down to 1; cents hundred, nearly a cent below last nights close. on reports that Ger many had refused to meet the stipulated payments on pre-war debts to Frenci citizens.
 The clearing house statement showed an increase of actual loans and dis counts of nearly sS.000.0o0. as compare, with an increase of S35. .O00.000 the weel before. Member banks increased thei reserve in the Federal Reserve Bank b, S9,25S,0OO. as against decrease of g. 260,0o0 week ago.
