ON STOCK MARKETS
General List Drifts-Disposi-
ton Is 10 Tighten Hold
ingS for Week End.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July Prominent in
dustrial issues today inclined toward
slightly higher levels as the week closed
on the Stock Exchange.
1t was a typical week end market,
however. with the main body of stocks
doing little one way or the other The
disposition was to tighten commitments
in speculative holdings in view of the
uncertainty of the credit situation, and
/ to await developments in the money
market
Powerful Banking Support.
II was evident that such stocks as
General Motors, u. S. Steel and Cen
eral Electric were having the support
of powerful banking interests General
Motors at 1914 was selling almost 2
points above Fridays final, while u S.
Steel rallied across 140 again for a
similar gain. General Electric was
scheduled to profit taking at the outset,
but substantially retraced more than
the early loss.
Little or no attempt was made to
bring about higher prices in the rail-
road section and most issues backed
and filled, with little progress being
made in either direction Atchison
was bid up over point among the
high-grade dividend payers. and Union
Pacific was inclined to do better, while
Wabash was taken up among the Junior
issues
The action of Missouri. Kansas,
Texas indicated that it had been thor
oughly liquidated and selling only
slightly more than points above its
low for the past three years it was In
position to discount expected prosper
ity of the carriers operating in the ter
ritory it serves

poration was the incentive for the de-
mand for that issue. although this fall
ed to influence buying of the indie
pendents.
Indian Refining Feature.
The oils had in their favor the def
mite change for the better which has
come over the industry as whole.
Indian Refining was the outstanding
feature of the group. selling sharply
to new high for the year. while At
lantic Refining. Standard Of New Jer-
sey and Standard of California were
taken at higher prices.
Among specialties International Com
bustion appeared to have the support
of powerful pool interests. while Johns
Manville, up points, was Influenced
by revival of rumors of an impending
merger with General Asphalt
The high prices of the day in the
issues selected for leadership were
reached just before the close. Among
the late favorites were Montgomery
Ward and Sears Roebuck in the mer-
chandising group. Warner Brothers
Pictures in the amusement group,
Hudson Motors, Lehn g. Fink and
Dawson Chemical. Chicago g. Great
