WEEK SEES COMMODITIES
GAIN WITH SECURITIES

Dy the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 23.-Firmer mar
kets for both securities and COM
modities have been the feature of the
past week in business and finance. In
some cases, such as copper, this was
attributed to the imminence of new
buying movements. in others 1t was
considered to be due to the, strong
situation which normally develops
after half-year settlements have been
made and July 1 dividends and in
terest payments have been distrib-
uted. There was also a disposition
to emphasize the disregard by the
markets of what might be considered
bad news, this being taken as an in
dication of the material strengthen
ing of the speculative position which
was brought about by the liquidation
of the late spring.
One of the encouraging events of
the week was the check imposed on
the decline In wheat prices. Another
factor which contributed to the more
cheerfuI feeling which was in evil
dence was greater optimism over the
progress of the reparations negotia-
