Late Reaction Fails to Wipe
Out All of Advances Made
Earlier.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, August 24-Stocks had
another reactionary period in the sec
ond half Of today's market session, after
an earlier display of pronounced
strength, but prices held much better
than they did Wednesday under similar
circumstances and the close was higher
on the day.
The last hour recovery conceded
with the renewal Of the report that es-
tablishment of free gold market had
been decided upon and that announce
ment to that effect would be made very
shortly. There was no confirmation of
this story, either locally or In Wash
1ngton, but 1t found many believers
and accounted in part at least for the
strong resistance the list showed to-
ward pressure.
Grains Are Ignored.
The market went contrary today to
the trend in grains Wheat was of 215
to pa cents bushel at the end, corn
was down as to 212 cents, while oats
and rye were of little less. Cotton
f1uctuated within a narrow range. The
dollar was weak all day, although it
rallied somewhat toward the end.
The opening was irregular. but very
shortly thereafter wave of buying
swept over the list, advancing prices
all along the line.
Gossip in the street has it that a
group Of operators who closed out their
commitments prior to the July break
nave again accumulated line OF long
stocks. and are therefore interested in
seeing higher prices, regardless of the
reason. That may or may not be so,
and such supports are not to be trusted
for they are too often broadcast by in
terested parties.
The morning buying began with the
metal stocks in general and United
States Smelling in particular. That
issue was bid up over points before
meeting resistance. Cerro de Pasco
American Smelling and Noranda were
strong. Then attention turned to the
gold issues and Homestake sold at 275.
the previous record, up l3 points net.
Dollar Drops Again.
In the general list the features we're
Allied Chemical with a gain that ran
to points at one time; American Can.
which was persistently bought; United
States Steel common. Union Carbide,
Du Pont, Westinghouse Electric and
Eastman Kodak. A better market was
in evidence for Consolidated Gas and
Public Service of New Jersey among the
utilities, while Standard Oil of New
Jersey turned upward in its group.
Jersey Standard selling at 80 was oniv
2 points under its 1882 top. Most of
the alcohol issues were higher, but they
were not active
In the foreign exchange market the
dollar dropped again. Sterling opened
up "a OF cent on this side and French
francs up y points These gains were
soon extended until sterling at s4.56l2
was up 234 cents and francs at 5.4o
up AZ points. These quotations are
new highs on the present movement.
The most interesting exchange situ-
alton. however, was that in London,
where sterling was losing ground to
the franc. The sterling franc ratio has
been so stable for SO long that the
weakness in the pound suggested a sig
niflcance that did not appear on the
surface. incidentally, gold in London
was quoted in sterling at the highest
of the year

RATE FOR STEEL
MAINTAINED.

Notwithstanding labor diff
culties, Pittsburgh district steel
mills last week put on enough
additional capacity to cancel
operating losses in the Buffalo,
Wheeling and New England dis
tricts and hold the national steel
average at 38 per cent, according
to the magazine Steel.
This first break in a seven-Week
decline in production resulted
from pressure for deliveries
against three-quarter contracts,
which the steel code requires to
be effected by October Is. This
tonnage is chiefly for stock in
anticipation of advancing prices
and possible strike Interruptions.
In all lines of iron and steel,
new business the past week was
negligible, which is no unusual
occurrence following the turn of a
quarter and the conclusion of the
contracting period. In a week or
10 days mills will have shipped
their third quarter obligations and
be dependent upon strictly cur
rent consuming requirements,
minus whatever Withdrawals are
made from stock.
