NEW YORK, June 21.-Although
fluctuations were narrow in most
cases and trading was in light vol
unne the drift Of prices was again
upward in the stock exchange to-
day. New speculative commitments
were held down and outstanding
equipments in some instances cur
tailed which was due not only to
the approaching week end, but also
to the uncertainty surrounding the
outcome of the Democratic con-
vention to be held next week. How.
ever, underlying strength was much
in evidence and a spirit Of con-
ddence ran through the dealings
which received additional stimulus
from the more optimistic tone
struck by the week end mercantile
reviews.

them attaining new high prices for
the year, including Southern Rail-
way, Missouri, Kansas and Texas,
Western Pacific and the Fries.
The advance in the low-priced rails
was again accompanied by all sorts
of reports of consultations.
Transactions in the industrial
group were largely confined to var
ious specialties and the oils. The
latter reflected accumulation by i'm
portant interests in anticipation of
more, profitable operations in the
industry with the advent of the
warm weather now prevailing
throughout the country. Houston
Oil, the mystery stock Of the group,
was in active demand at rising
prices, but shares of independent
companies operating in the mld-con-
tinent field, were also steadily

the session, closing steady.
Bonds were firm. Foreign ex-

Business Reviews Report Con-
servatism in Placing
Future Orders

NEW YORK, June 21.-Steadi.
ness in prices noted this week in
some of the primary markets is one
of the developments bearing on an
early revival Of trade, Dun's Re.
view Of Trade says this week.
There are indications that pig iron
is close to the low point, recent
purchases at leading iron centers
by large interests having Of late
been considerably greater than for
many weeks. In hides and leather
there is little disposition on the
part of producers to make further
concessions. Restriction of produc.
ton In the cotton goods and wooden
goods divisions is rather a reflec-
ton OF past conditions, and, as to
the cotton goods trade, uncertainty
regarding the future course OF the
market for the raw materials
The outlook for the crops is some
what better, and in the grain
markets prices are apparently on a
very strong basis, particularly for
wheat, the recent advance having,
been firmly held. Reports from all
sections of the country tell of
further revival in retail trade, ow.
ing to the more seasonable weather,
especially in the dry goods division,
but this was to be expected. At
some centers, particularly at
Chicago, this Improvement has been
reflected in wholesale lines and
will likewise appear at other lead
ing wholesale districts. Efforts to
reduce accumulations are helped by
special sales.
Conservatism in placing advance
orders still marks the trade situa-
ton. Bank clearings are again
somewhat-in excess Of last year and
the gain is greater than in the
increase is almost wholly at New
York city. most Of the leading cen.

streets. There has come in most
a slightly better class of reports as
to retail buying. Some Of the
ground lost by crops has been re-
gained, but the season is still late,
with emphasis especially placed on
the backwardness of corn. RefIec
ton Of the poor wheat crop report
Of June l was had in a rise of
about 16 cents in wheat and smaller
gains in corn, oats, and wheat flour,
bringing prices Of those staples
slightly above those ruling a year
ago.
One.fourth Of the advance was
lost later on realizing. Aiding wheat
prices have been indications OF
smaller yields in leading surplus
producing countries. The high tenn
peratures noted late last week in
the Southwest have continued and
advanced eastward, but concern as
to their effect on backward corn
and cotton is not as marked as
earlier in Nebraska, Missouri, and
Iowa, with not enough in Utah, but
more moisture has helped the
spring wheat crop in the Northwest,
in the North Pacific States and in
Canada.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Despite
considerable churning the bond mar
ket retained its firm position during
the week. It was evident that the
buoyancy so general In the previous
period was largely lacking, and that
the advance in different directions
was being checked by profit-taking
sales by spectators whose pur-
chases had kept company with the
recent way Of bonafide Investment
orders.
The markets chief feature was
the heavy switching from securities
which had enjoyed long and broad
advances into other bonds which
were considered equally safe, but
cheaper. This tendency was par.
t!cularly noticeable in the United
States Government section.
The real favorites of the week,
however. were the foreign loans,
especially those Of Europe and South
America.
Next to the foreign group, rail.
road securities received q great deal
OF constructive attention. That this
class of bonds seemed to occupy a
better position in the eye of the
banking fraternity than at any pre-.
vious date since 1917 was demon.

have purchased from the United

This privilege would save the
District a heavy annual expenditure

During the past year, owing to
insufficient postage funds, it was

Thousands Gather at Clarksburg to Hear
 Davis Acceptance.

Clarksburg, w. Va, Aug II. Accompanied by the plaudits of thousands of party leaders, gathered from all parts of the country. John w. Davis tonight formally accepted the demo cratic nomination for president.
 Davis speech of acceptance, delivered in the open at the golf plaza, was assolemn pledge to do all n>nis power to lead his party to victory. He assailed the re- pu blican party at the outset, saying:
 Il charge the republican party with corruption in office, and l charge it also with favoritism in legislation. I do more-I charge it with the grossest form of leg islation, which gives to him who hates and takes away from him who hates not. To use the power of legislation purposely to enrich one man or one set of men at the expense of others is robbery on a large scale, though done under the forms of law, In the age of the Fordney-McCumber tariff act, imposing the highest rates and duties in the tariff history of the nation, there was an un- blushing return to the evil days of rewarding party support and political contributions with leg islative favors."

John E. Baker Leaves
 for Mayo Brothers

John E. Baker, popular old-timer was among Thursdays departures on the Billy to McGrath, to become pas senger on the Tana for Bethel, on his way to Ethe Outside, Mir. Baker, on reaching the Outside, will go direct to the Mayo Brothers Clinic at .Roches- ter, Minn., whither he goes to obtain relief for cancer on his lower lip, the spreading of which has been most pro- nounced during the past few weeks. That he will obtain the desired relief and that permanent cure will be eff fected is, of course, the confident hope of his many friends.
 In this connection Mr. Baker, before his departure, asked The Times man to thank all those who contributed so generously and who made it possible for him to make the trip. Words, he said, ware feeble in expressing his ap- preciation.
 Mir. Baker plans to be back in To- kotna as soon as possible, and he has hopes of returning here over the early winter trail.
