DURING recent weeks million share
 days have been quite frequent
 occurrence on the New York stock exchange.
 Observers and operators who are most enthusiastic over the near future pros poets for higher stock values believe that the public at large is joining the professional trading element in bidding up prices. They interpret this increas- ed activity as meaning that optimism is becoming more general. During the early stages of an upward movement in stocks, trading is usually limited in volume. Activity is confined to pro- fessionals and to 8 small group of far seeing individuals. Then as stocks evidence 8 sustained power to rise, more people become interested.
 There is no method of measuring ac- curately the exact amount of public

GRAIN LETTERS

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.-Wheat was firm early, but eased off later, closing slight ly lower than yesterday. The early strength was influenced by rumors of frost damage in some parts of Canada and by storm damage in Minnesota ahd North Dakota. Winnipeg started high CT but sold off later, and our market followed, although Liverpool closed IFS d to 1Md higher after opening Ad off. World crop news was somewhat bulltsh.
 The corn market broke about 4c, due to widespread liquidation caused by forecast of warmer weather. Corn has had a very rapid advance and a setback was to be expected.
 The oats market was again relatively stronger than corn; but, with lower corn and wheat markets, oats declined in sympathy. Trade was mixed. Cash oats were fairly steady.-H. and B. Beer to J. F. Willingham &s Co.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Heavy rains in our northwest, private reports of frost in Canada and an advance in Liverpool were temporarily reflected in our early market, but, as for some time past, the buying was not sufficient to absorb hedging sales which are perslstently coming into the market. The early de- mand was short-lived and liquidation prevailed the balance of the day. Ex- port trade is still in negligible volume, although private cables were said to carry better tone. Such demand as exists Is for quick shipment, and busi- ness of this nature is hampered by scarcity of vessel room. The corn market showed a little firmness early in sympathy with wheat, but became weak under realizing sales. We consid- CT the action of prices today to be due to the technical position of the market rather than to any probability of an actual improvement in condition of the new crop.-John F. Clark & Go.

MANY UPSETS TN THURSDAYS q STOCK MARKET
Investors Overplay News In Efforts To Send Fa-
 vorites Higher
BY EDWARD y. coNpLoN

. lszssAuy Leased Wire 70 Ago-AeratdD 3s NEW YORK, Aug. 21.--There were hpsets aplenty in the Thursday session of the stock market, which registered q turnover well above a million shares. n q number of the principal losers of the day the recesslons represented more tam mere technical reactions. Some in- xsstors evidently believe that pool man. hRers, in their efforts to get their 2Ayorites substantially higher, have overpiayed certain bits of news and must be prepared to stand rather vio- Isn't reactions, something, of course, which almost invariably follows sudden advances.
 As far as some of the issues were con- cerned, 1t was merely a case of the good news already being out. Mack Trucks, for example, which advanced substantially earlier in the week, fell nearly three points when announcement : was made that stockhdidefs would have the right to subscribe to one share of common at $50 for each five shares now held. Texas Gulf Sulphur was 1. another issue to reach it's climax con . aiderably before public announcement thai the stock had been put on $7 Dividend basis.
 7- l-c. At Cross Purposes
 The foreign exchange market and stocks certainly have been working at , ceoss purposes this week. Declining In the three previous sessions of the week, . ths foreign exchange list, led by ster- | ling, tended lower, whilst the movement of stocks was inclined in the other direction. Thursday, sterling finished .better than 2hc net higher and pulled the balance of the exchange list for ward. This reversal of form is taken : Co mean that the worst of the liQuida- Ston which followed the London con Terence is over. The increase in the s Bank of India rate to from per cent ! ss taken to mean that the previous re- anction was not entirely justified. It must be remembered that the reduction in the rate this year has had to come all the way from the peakoof 10 per cent.
 ss.se Money Rates Primer
 ee Money rates showed a firmer tone Is4han they have in many weeks. AL though call money was officially un- chaneed at per cent on the stock ex- change, it was noticeable that offerings of IA per cent call money in the out side market were comparatively light. Time money was advanced A to l per cent on all maturitiess and dealers in .sbenkers' acceptances marked up the
 asking rates N to 1 per cent for the second time this week. Several interior banks with heavy deposits here have called home varying amounts; so, that If nothing more, 1t has had senti- mental effect on the money market. The weakening in liberty bond prices was directly traceable to the ftrmer tone in money.
 T The commodity markets were reac- tioaary, with the grains closing lower, due to the break in corn on reports of generally warmer weather, particularly vest of the Mississippi. Trading in cotton resolved itself into an even-up process prior to the government crop yeport Saturday.

The result of the curtailment of the past five months is beginning to show itself in many lines.

STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Many conflict ing cross-currents were at work in to- days market, and considerable irregu- Iarity in prices was apparent. An arl- nouncement of a new stock issue by Mack Truck, an increased annual divi- dend rate of Gulf Sulphur from S6 to $7, continued dullness in the copper mar ket, e prediction of large earnings for 1924 on Hudson Motors and drive against St. Paul preferred were the outstanding news developments of the day. Cast Iron Pipe achieved new high record price for all time at 1o6%, while new tops on the present movement were reached by Stakeholder, Chandler and a number of other issues. Consid- erable profit-taking was in evidence during the entire day, and Mack Truck, Allis Chalmers, Kennecott Copper and a number of other stocks sold off frac- tionally, but offerings seemed to be we'll taken. This resulted in a fairly regular close, with new activity par ticularly noticeable in certain parts of the motor and oil groups.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-This was re- action day in the stock market. Com mission houses were early sellers; and, while there were some strong spots here and there, the list as a whole dis played a declining tendency, as ia usu- ally the case when a reaction Is due. The bearish element, in their effort to speed the decline, aided in circulating rumors regarding this or that company. Today, St. Paul was the topic of con versation, and for the tenth time this year the company was pictured as on the rocks and ready for receivership A bond issue of this company Is matur- ing and many of the, rumors, are di' rectly connected with negotiations for the extension of this issue. We can hardly imagine such a change in the financial situation of the country as would make it difficult, to say nothing of impossible, to take care of this roads maturing obligation at a time when conditions in the northwest are improving and plans are being formu- lated for the Notation of a large Ger man loan here. The general market presents no new feature. Reactions will be more frequent, possibly more stringent, but the trend in the move ment will be upward.-John F. Clark & Go.
