have been quietly feeling for the bottom of the market and who have been pick ing up stocks weak spots, became defi- nitely bullish. The market held back a little until leaders like Steel, Baldwin and Studebaker became active and passed through previous resistance points with out any trouble.
 The oils still lack market leadership and the tire stocks are behind the pro- cession. We have an idea that there is quite little short interest in the latter, which if put to the test, would cover rather quickly. Action of the market today simply confirms previously ex- pressed impression that it would take very little good news to start brisk recovery, and at present 1t looks as if prices are going to still higher levels,
 It Is well to consider that during the past two weeks prices have lost no ground. On the contrary, they show an advance of about 3 points from their low of July 5. Liquidation has subsided and buying orders are in better balance as the daily news Is interpreted by trad ers DOREMUS, DANIEL & co.

STEWART'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 19.-Liver- pool quotations came over averaging about as due with light sales of 5000 bales and unchanged prices in their spot markets. Manchester cables stated business con- tinued light but no depressing factors hanging over market. Our markets opened 5 to 10 points higher than Wednesday 8 close on buying due to the failure or Texas getting rains. but later when the forecast was posted showing prospects for relief in Texas the market sold sharply off to 20 points under the previous close but at this level there was good buying on the strength of the stock market and a better tine in grain. The finals, however, were to 25 points lower on the near months and 5 to 10 points higher on October, but the far distant months gave a better account of themselves by closing 16 to 25 points higher. Spots were very quiet and quotations were gen orally unchanged to 50 points down. this decline being noted at New Orleans and Dallas, quotations ranging from 26c at New Orleans, Fort Worth and Dallas to PIC at Little Rock.
 The session was rather featureless and the trading mostly professional. Twenty stations in Texas had temperatures of 100 to 107 yesterday and three in Okla homa but no rain. There were heavy to light showers in Mississippi. Louisiana Alabama and Georgia. Deterioration re- ports continue from central Texas. Cot ton is still marking time awaiting deVeI- opments.-S. R.

EMPHATIC GAINS ARE REGISTERED
 M ALL QUARTERS

NEW YORK. July 19.-stock prices moved up briskly in todays market and the volume of trans actions was impressive for the nrst time recently. Perhaps the out standing feature was the fact that prices moved upward with the same facility that had been noted as they fell downward on short selling and liquidation.
 Emphatic gains were registered in all quarters of the list and occasional realizing sales were readily digested by buying for the account of short interests. Sizeable buying orders from commission houses testified to increased public participation.
 While market observers were chary of making over-optimistic infer ences from today's cheerful tone, the improved tone of the market had some backing in dispatches from overseas indicating possibility of agreement on the Ruhr occupation tangle. Little attention, however, was paid to outside news develop ments as the market strengthened and the recent pronounced advance in miscellaneous shares spread to the usual leaders. which closed point or more above yesterdays final levels.
 United States Steel moved up 13s, while some of the independent steels recorded greater gains, Republic Steel preferred for instance, gaining 4 points. Studebaker was very ac- tive and closed Is points higher
 Call money held unchanged at per cent. The time money market showed little activity. with brokers bidding 5 per cent and banks offer ing 5A per cent. The ruling rate for prime names continued at , per cent, with good names at 5A per cent.
 German marks continued to sink being quoted at one time a .2900 of a cent each. Most of the other for eign exchange rates improved. De mand sterling moved up 3-16 to $45S 3-16 and French francs ad vanced points to 5.901a cent. Swiss francs rose 30 points to 17.74c.
