RAILROAD ISSUES
 STILL MPROVING
Demand for Prime Carriers Fur nishes Weeks Strong Point

New York, July 10 P) - Inn provement in the price level Of ral!- road and utility issues continued to be made in bond trading on the New York stock exchange today. Demand for prime issues of carriers and uul- ities among banks, insurance com- panies and other institutions has been strong this week and the firm ness of the market has been held in some circles to indicate that a def mite upward movement, anticipated since the era of easy money has started. Offerings of some of the le- gal and standard issues have not been extensive but have been quick ly taken at good levels. Secondary issues which for some time headed downward have recently received at- tention of buyers.
 The trading today followed much the same pattern established yester- day with the greatest activity in railroad liens and convertibles, with firm to strong tendencies being dis played. Atchison General As, Erie Improvement 5s. Southern Railway General As, were firm and moderate ly accumulated. A large turnover took place in St. Louis, San Francis co 4 1-2s, a legal issue, at the price established yesterday. Big four 41-2s made a new 1930 high with a gain of more than one point. New Haven 6s gained about the same.
 Dealings in convertible rails were on a par with yesterday. With Chi cago and Northwestern A s, Roe; Island 41as, Baltimore and Ohio Is moving higher.
 American Natural Gas convertible 61bs which sagged yesterday bounl- ed back s points this morning to more than recover it's previous loss.
 American Telephone 5s of '6j, Brooklyn Union Gas 5s, and Postal Telegraph 5s were the utility issu es which attracted attention and moved upward.
 United States governments were dull and practically unchanged Treasury issues eased slightly. Fo'- e;gn bonds We're quiet and firm.

Professional Traders Again War With Torpid Stock Market But
 Gain Little for Their Efforts
Bearish Effort in Early Trading Accomplishes Little So Traders Shift to Constructive Side.

New York. July 10 Lp) - Profess sional traders continued their strug- gles with torpid stock market to- day and had little to show for their efforts. Bearish efforts in the early trading accomplished little and be- fore midday traders shifted to the constructive side. Most pivotal shares soon recorded moderate gains.
 Trading could not be enlivened. It was estimated in brokerage circles that the personal transactions of floor traders accounted for about 60 per cent of the activity. Commission house sentiment was a little more optimistic, and investment suggest ions were plentiful, but virtually none was sanguine enough to look for any runaway market for while. Important banking interests seemed content to let the market drift.
 The rails gave the best account of themselves, refecting good yields from the prime dividend payers, ex- pectation of improvement with the crop movement and estimates as to the benefits to be derived from the increased class rate. While different roads will be affected variously. for instance, the Chicago Great West ern, entire territory of which is af- fected, estimates that earnings will be increased about sl per preferred share.
 The United States Steel thrilled tonnage report showed reduction during June of only 9l,162 tons, which was about in keeping with ex- pectations. New evidence that the drop in wholesale commodity prices is beginning to influence retail prices and the cost of living appeared in announcements Of sharp price reduc- tions by Sears Roebuck and Mont gomery Ward. The Labor Bureau, Inc, reported wage decreases in eX- cess of increases in June, but reduc- tion of retail prices may be a com pensating factor. On the whole, the days news was about a standoff, with little market influence.
 The bear activity in the morning closely coincided with the announce ment of the suspension by the ex- change of Sutro 6, Co, because of the alleged connection of one of its customers with the Manhattan Elec- trical Supply pool.
 This action of the exchange, fol- lowing the Throckmorton suspen- sion, is interpreted as indicating that the stock exchange proposes to hold heads of member firms more strict ly than ever accountable for the acts of subordinates. It is felt in conser vative quarters that a campaign against manipulation would do much to restore confidence in equity l shares.
 Air Reduction, Johns Manville and National Cash Register dropped to points to new lows, then rallied. In the rails, Atchison, New York Gen. tral, New Haven and others gained points or more. United States Steel firmed up on the tonnage report, gaining nearly points. In the oils, Standard of New Jersey made similar advance. Allied Chemical converted an early loss of points into a gain Of similar extent, and Eastman Kodak sold up about as much. Credit conditions were gen. orally unchanged.

COPPER PRICES REDUCED
Half Cent a Pound Cut Made on Domestic Markct-Foreign Price Remains Unchanged.

New York, July l 0 P-Producers today reduced the price of copper for domestic delivery one-half a cent pound to 111a cents, the figure at which some custom smelt- CTS have been offering the metal for several days.
 The export price of the metal. however, remained unchanged at 12.30 cents a pound, C. I. F. Eu- ropean base ports, with practically no copper reported sold. Belief was expressed in the trade that the action of producers in reducing the domestic price in all probably would bring about a reduction in the export price of 11.S0 cents, to bring that level on a parity with the domestic figure.
 The American Brass Co. and Ana conda Wire &, Cable Co.,. have re- duced their prices for brass and cop per products one-half cent, bringing them to an liz cent basis for copper.
