STOCKS START UP. BUT DECLINE IN 1 A I [ R DEALINGS

Ny WALT F. k II. BROWN Editor New York Commercial


 NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-As on previ- ous days of the week, stocks turned reactionary and lower after an early display of resistance in a market al- most wholly professional in scope. The once cheerful indication offered -by the days operations was the comparative value of stock neces- sary for the development of trade. It required only a comparatively moderate amount of buying to start the market higher, whereas heavy offerings were necessary to bring about the consequent decline. This indicated 10 acute observers gen erally oversold condition, which argued well for the success of the first solldiy- based attempt at an up turn.
 All in all. the stock market was hardly q fair measure of current investing sentiment Nor was it an accurate guide to the slight surface changes in economic conditions. De- NelopmentS abroad and in our own commodity markets were of much greater interest The advance in the German discount rate from IS to 30 per cent aroused considera ble inter- est in Wall street. and d number of sApllJCSlu 1S U pooSIpAO iSouA.o'

 Purely As Gesture.
 However, it is realized that any maneuver executed in marks at this time must be accepted purely as a gesture as the situation in Germany has retrogresscd to 8 point where corrective steps ale virtually useless. With the German presses pound- ing out at least 8 trillion marks a day, the gold supply Of the entire world. mined since the days of King Solomon, would not suffice to 7I!quidate more than 3 per cent of the face value of the Reichs sbank obligations.
 Both cotton and wheat sold off to- day. the decline in cotton being the natural reaction from yesterdays very sharp advance. The grain mar nets, on the other hand, continued <. to resporI to the same factors which have eXerted theil full force in the major movement which first carried wheat below the dollar mark.

WHEAT SLIPS BACK AFTER SCORING 4
 SLIGHT ADVANCE

CHICAGO, August 2.-With no ex- port demand of any consequence ill sight, and with gossip current that Europeans were selling back wheat bought in the United states, wheat slipped down in price today after scoring a small advance. The mra- ket closed unsettled 1a @ 3sc to 1c net lower, with September 97A0 s7?c and December 100h @100Ss. Corn finished unchanged A e ssc off. Oats Is c A to 2sc down and provi- sions at Sc to 200 decline.
 Unfavorabie crop reports from both sides of the Canadian boundary were chiefly responsible for tran sient upturn which the wheat mar ket made soon after the opening. Buying, however, failed to show any vigor at this juncture and bulls were handicapped by a continuance of lib- eral receipts here. Then came re- ports that France had rc-sold con siderable wheat which had been pur- chased for August shipment from the United States, and there was talk also of exporters having made other re-sales of domestic wheat at the Gulf of Mexico. New low records in foreign exchange rates tended fur ther emphasize the bearish outlook
 Some good buying on the part of commission houses took place at times during the subsequent setback Tn wheat NalueS, and nelped to make the market less one- sided at the last despite London official announce mepts that French and Belgian re- plies to the British reparations note held out no prospect of a Ruhr set clement in the near future. The basis of at least some of the buying was that the wheat market had un dergone a break of soc q bushel, and that judged according to the purch- aSing power of the dollar wheat is at Q pre-war level of 63c bushel or less.
 Corn and cats reflected the ac- tion of wheat values. Moisturs and lower temperatures in the central west counted somewhat as a bearish factor.
 Bearish aspects of the monthly warehouse report weakened provi- sions.
