 BRISK UPTURN Pool Operations Furnish Main Stimulus For . Price Advances

\ NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-A brisk up- turn in prices took place in today's wtock market, w.th buying orders well distributed throughout the list. Pool operations, resumed on the theory that < the recent so-called Corrective selling" had been completed, furnished the main lgtimulus for the advance, but brokers ialso reported an increased public de- lmand for the high-grade industrial and Ixailroad issues.
 American Can led the so-called pivotal Inhares with net gain of 3%, at 129A. Baldwin closed nearly two points higher at 124M. United States Steel common tRhowed a net gain of 1A at 108%, after having touched 109, and Stakeholder moved up one point to 3Sh. g. Higher commodity prices and a sub stantial increase in carloadings for the week ended August over the previous week helped to create bullish sentiment. | Private cables holding out hope for a satisfactory conclusion of the London xeparations conference also influenced E some buying.
 s Speculation in the rail group was confined to a few issues. Heavy accu- mutation of Southern Railway, said to be for the account of important bank ing interests, sent that stock up nearly 8 points to STA, a new high for the year. New York and Harlem jumped
 
 actions. Rutland preferred and Frisco preferred also attained new peak prices, the net gains being 5% and 2% points, respectively.
 Copper shares continued to give an Impressive demonstration of group strength, the rising trend of metal prices being an important factor in the buy ing. American Smelling, a large silver producer, climbed two points to a new high at 72b, while Kennecott crossed 49 on rumors of a possible increase in the dividend.
 Revival of speculative interest in the automobile issues followed the publica- tion of the July motor production sta tistics showing a gain of 5 per cent over June, the first increase since April. Mack Truck was the outstanding indi- | vidual feature, closing nearly 6 points higher at it's record price of 103.
 Exceptionally good buying was noted , in a number of specialties, net gains of 2s to points being recorded by Gen eral Electric, National Lead, Endicott Johnson, Associated Dry Goods, Brown Shoe, International Telephone, Interrfa- tional Business Machine, United Fruit and Union Tank Car.
 Call money held steady at 2 per cent Offerings of funds in the time money market were scarcer, but there was no material increase in the demand and the rates were unchanged.
 Commercial paper rates ranged from 8 to 3h per cent, with business quiet.
 Foreign exchanges held firm, with trading restricted pending the outcome Of the London conference. Canadian dollars duplicated their high point for the year at 99.87c. Sterling sold around $454 and French francs ruled around 6sc.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-From the be- ginning of the session today, the stock market was active, with the public as well as professional clements buying stocks. Buying was not limited to a limited number of issues, but was more general than in some time, and an un- l1sual number of issues will be in cluded in today's active list. There is no new reason for today's activity, but rather more general recognition of the soundness of our financial situation, a recognition of the numerous favorable factors that are developing which will ultimately result in an important ex- pansion of our domestic and foreign business. We continue to look upon the market with favor and anticipate higher prtces.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Wall street apparently anticipated a successful ter mination of the allied conference at London; and this confident feeling, which found its expression in sustained strength of sterling, was reflected in the form of an upward movement of prices in todays session, which car ried stocks in many instances to new high levels. A gradual increase in the demand for copper from Europe, favor able statements of earnings by a num- Der of different companies, the ap- pointment of a receiver for Middle States Oil, in addition to the favorable news from abroad, were the outstand- ing news developments of the day.
 L.. & N. and Southern Railway highs were made ih well-informed quarters as a result of this exuberant feeling. The market closed almost buoyantly, { although a certain amount of profit taking was in evidence in certain issues, such as Kennecott Copper-Fenner & ReanA to Kahn &s Virgin,

GROUND IS LOST
 IN COTTON PRICE Influence Of Increased Crop Estimates Results
 In Sharp Drop

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.--The influence of Increased crop estimates resulted in a sharp decline of the cotton market here today. December contracts broke from 27.06c to 26.20c in the late trad ing and closed at 26.26c, with the gem eral market closing easy at net de- clines of 77 to S2 points.
 The market opened 25 to 27 points lower. Active months declined about 32 to 35 points in the early trading in re- sponse to relatively easy Liverpool cables, reports of a little more hedging and a private report placing the mid- August condition at 65.8, with a crop estimate of 12,450,000 bales. Weather advices failed to show any further rain of consequence in the southwest, however, and the market steadied around midday on covering for over the weekend. Renewal of support from Wall street and western sources ap- parently were promoted by continued hope of an early settlement of repara- tions. October worked up from T.25c to 27.T4c and December from 26.60c to 27.06c, but at these figures offerings increased and the afternoon market was very weak under more or less general liquidation and local and southern sell ing. The decline was accompanied by reports that a prominent spot firm estimated the condition of the crop at 66.6 and the indicated yield at 13,334, ,000 bales. These figures seemed to make a decided impression on sentiment follow ing the recent improvement in south western drought conditions and a late break carried October off to 26.s2c and January to 26.06c, representing net de- clines of S3 to 91 points. Late covering carried closing prices a few points above the lowest figures.
 Private cables said the decline in Liverpool was due to liquidation, Amer ican selling and increased offerings of actual. Port receipts today were 14,921 bales. United States port stocks, 220,- 401 bales. Exports, 10,371 bales, making 57 ,0S5 bales so far this season.

 7 CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-wheat: The market took new life today after a week without material change. Prices advanced about 4c, and this in the face of liberal hedging sales from the northwest. The advance was credited to active buying by exporters, higher cables, favorable political news and im- proved investment buying, due to fears of frost in Canada. Cash wheat ia be- ing merchandised at an active rate. in an orderly manner Some nillers and exporters are good buyers of all the large volume of wheat offered, The undertone of the wheat market is firm.
 Corn: A sharp advance of 4c ssnd active market put prices to new high levels. It seemed like no one wished to sell. There were reports of frost in northern Illinois and many fear that frost will catch the bulk of the crop. Weather forecast was regarded as un- favorable. Showers, followed by cooler weather. Corn is a weather market and will likely continue so for the next month..
 Oats: The market was more active and stronger than for some days. Prices were stimulated by the advance in corn and also by unfavorable weather affecting threshing.-H. and B. Beer to J. F. .Willingham 6 Co.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.--A tame and col- orless market for wheat early was turned into an active, strong and buoy ant affair by reinstatement of holdings. There was no specific reason for over night developments to account for mar ket action, but entire trade is permeated Mitn the idea that all the surplus of North America will be absorbed bv i'm porting countries. The market was given an extra filip by reports of more activity inS export circles and a forecast of possible frost in western Canada tonight. The seaboard does not un- cover any large amount of export busi- ness, but one of the larger western markets claims 1.000.O0 bushels have been sold for shipment via gulf. There Is not and has not been any weather recently of sort to force rapid growth of corn. This is the prime influence in tne corn market, but 1t is also a fact that prices for daily receipts of oId corn keep pace with the new-crop fu- tures.-John F. Clark 6 Co.
