I PRICES RISE FOR [ FIFTH SUCCESSIVE '. DAY INV MARKET

NEW YORK, August 18.-The up- ward movement in stock prices gained further headway in today's brief session, the fifth successive day of rising prices. Spectators for the advance encountered little resistance, although there was intermittent profit taking in some of the leading industrlals by floor traders, but these offerings were well absorbed. Bull fish sentiment was created by the op- ttmistic tone of the weekly mercan- |, tile reviews and the decision of the anthracite coal operators and the miners representatives to resume their deliberations on wages and working conditions at Atlantic City next Monday.
 Strength and activity of Baldwin suggested professional manipulation. the stock closing 2 B points higher at l227s. American Can also closed at a net gain of approximately 2 points, while United States Steel was pushed |. up IFS and Studebaker improved fractionally.
 -s Maxwell Motors issues were in I strong demand upon publication of the semi-annual earnings report showing that net income in the first six months of the year totalled SE,072,531, or more than the total profits for the full years 1919, 1920 ? and 1922.
 Nash Motors advanced 9 points and
 
 advanced fractionally.
 some selling of the Northwestern railroad shares took place just before the close, Great Northern preferred dropping 2 points and Northern Pa cific B.. Union Pacific, however. closed at a net gain of points and most of the other big systems im- proved slightly.
 Trading in foreign exchanges were + quiet. Demand sterling continued to yield ground, being quoted at 4.55 11-16. French francs rose points to 5.52. Norwegian demand dropped 16 points to 1925. but the other continental rates showed only A small and irregular changes on the day.
 The weekly clearing house state ment showed decreases of S76,25gOOO . Tn loans, discounts and inVes tments; $4,0O5,000 in cash in own vaults: s15- 131,000 in reserve of member banks in the federal reserve bank; S53,638,- 000 in net demand deposits, and S4,26S,000 in time deposits. Shrink age in deposits was due in part to the shifting of funds to western and southern points to aid in financing crop movements.
 Total stock sales, 304, 300 shares.
 Twenty industrials averaged 9332 net gain, .6S. High, 1923, 105.3S; low, S6.91.

Oil And Coal Issues Fluctuate Last Week

NEW YORK, August 1S.-The most important fluctuations during the current week occurred in oil and coal stocks. The rest of the list swayed back and forth, although in the main the volume of trading was slightly larger than during the week previ- ous, and prices exhibited more stabil- ity in the latter sessions.
 Most transactions centered in the Standard Oils securities. Early in tho week when the South Dakota state highway commission made the am nouncement it had purchased a large quantity of distress" gasoline and would sell it to the public at 16 cents a gallon heavy selling of Standard shares resulted and prices cropped anywhere from to 10 points. To add to the unsettlement came the announcement by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana that they had reduced prices for gasoline to cOn- form with the new low rate, and it was not until the price in South Da- kota was advanced to 20 cents peE gallon that a turn in the downwArsb ? trend came. It is regarded in oil clr- cles that the Standard oil people will raise their rate soon, and on this as- sumption the oil list eXperienced vigorous rally on Thursday. /Af good deal of the decline made earlier n the week was made up and the trend was still upward when the week ap- preached it's close.
 Independent oil issues were favor ably influenced by the action of Standard Oils, although trading in these issues was not so large.
 As above stated, industrials did not show much life, aside from the coal tissues, which spurted to new high ground for the movement on Thurs day when news raised expectations of an early amicable adjustment of the present coal controversy. Friday witnessed a setback in the trend, due to complications in the negotiations, but hope was still entertained that final settlement would be made.
 Mining stocks did not join in the general improvement in other sec- tions and the bond market ruled n1iet.

NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, August 1S.-Scatered rains in the western belt were against tne price in the cotton market today from the opening, although after the middle Of the partial recoveries came about. At ths lowest the trading months were 4S to bS
 points under the last quotations of yes terday, with October off to 2S 28c. The recoveries carried the market 28 to 50
 points up from the bottom but there were
 last prices were at net loses of S4 to 5S
 points. the slosing sales on October rang
 Ing from 23. 42c to 23 4c.
 According to private reports as received
 by brokerage houses here great many
 points in northern, eastern and western
 Texas and Eumerous points in Oklahoma
 got rain overnight, and some points re-
 ceived further showers today. Official re- turns did not indicate anywhere near the
 amount of moisture that was claimed in private returns. Private reports conceded that the showers were light and the trade went home for the weekend with a rather
 uncertain mind as to the situation in the west.
 Lowest prices were reached in the first hour of the session. The downward move
 ment of prices checked by new buy
 apparently was stimulated by the better tone of week-endc reviews of the general trade of the country. which made special mention of a better demand at higher prices in the textile industry. The census bureau report, counting American mill consumption during July at 461,575 bales against 542,166 in June, was about as ex- pected, and caused only moderate selling.
 The Cotton exchange announced that it
 would be closed Saturday, September l,
 and Monday, September 3. the usual Labor
 Day holidays.

PRICES CONTINUE TO POINT UPWARD IN BOND TRADING

NEW YORK. August 1S.--Today's short session of the bond market was a dull affair. Prices generally con- tinued to point upward, but net changes were relatively unimportant.
 Active United States government bonds with the exception of the tax exemption S1ks, which eased slightly, improved. Foreign bonds held firm with the Mexican issues moving for ward, the 4s gaining 1 point and the 5s ?. Serbian Ss also improved % {.
 Net changes in the railroad group were confined to fractions, with a majority pointing upward. A drop of 1 point by Tennessee Electric re- funding 6s was the only outstanding change among the industrial liens.
