TDR8DAV, July 27.
The opening of tho stock markot was strong,
owing to an Improvement in the prices for
American securities In London and purchases
of about 16,000 shares of various stocks, prin
cipally Reading first preferred, 8U Paul and
Louisville and Nashville, by foreign arbi
trage houses. Tho first prices rocorded,
however, proved to bo, as a rule, the best
of tho day, for as soon as the foreign
orders wero filled the market began to feel
tho effects of realizing Bales and of e (Torts to de
press prices. Both wero most pronounced In
tiugnr Refining, In which there was a maximum
decllno of 6 points, making a total of nearly
10 points slnco tho hit-host point was reached,
a woek ago to-day. A part of the ground lost
was recovered in the lato trading, so that; the
net loss was reduced to 2"g V cent. Thero was
no nows regarding tbo sugar refining Industry,
henco tho reaction, like the rocent advance,
may fairly bo regarded as largely speculative.
Tbe remainder of the Hat was not seriously af
fected by the movement just described, though
it inducod realising sales and encouraged fresh
attacks upon values by oporators who favor n
more decided reaction than has yet taken
place. As Is usually the case after a
decided advanco in prices, a good many
stop orders were uncovered on the way
down, a circumstance that always helps to
unsottlo tho markot. At the extreme decline
commission houses appeared as buyers, and
tho chances are that somo of the specula
tive holdings of the more active stocks recontly
disposed of by operators who have been active
in stimulating tho upward movement were re
covered. Tbe setback was worth a good deal to
commission houses, for many of their clients
have apparently become convinced that tho
character of tbo market has undergone a change,
and they aro thcroforo seeking opportunities to
buy stocks. The lncrcnso In the volume of com
mission business was greater than on any day
since tbo nrcsent bull markot bcgRn. Tbo shares
of the Granger trunk lines continued well In
the foro of the market In every respect; but
thcro was corns shifting of Interest to-iay
to tho anthraclto coal stocks, nil of which were
exceptionally strong and more extensively doalt
in than for some time past. Delaware and Hud
son wns tho lender In tho rise In this group, with
Jersey Central a good socond. The groatcst
activity, however, was in Reading first
preforrod, which also scored a noteworthy
net gain. The advance in Delawaro
and Hudson was generally attributed to
prospects that the company will effect a reduc
tion in its Axed ohnrges by refunding, at a low
rato of interest, tho bonded debt of its leased
lino, tbo Albany and Susquehanna Railroad.
With tbo other anthracite stocks, it was alio
affectod by the belief that developments aro im
pending that will Improve tho condition of nil of
tho coal-carrying roads.
The transactions on the Stock Exchange to
day, viowed in tho aggregate, show a broaden
ing tendency, and also that tho markut Is de
veloping a swing that Is indicative of activity
on the part of Important interests, as well as on
tbe part of tho public It Is also plnln that tho
markot is no longer a one-sided one, and it Is
manifestly safer becauso of that fact.
Tbe dealings In bonds, like those- In
stocks, wero somewhat smnllor than yester
day, but tho bond market was strong
throughout, and a number of noteworthy not
advances look place. The issues of Southorn
and Southwestern railroads are receiving in
creasing attention after being neglected for a
long time. This is became Interest lias here
tofore been dlrectod chiefly to the grain-carrying
roads by orop prospects, that have already
begun to affect earnings. In the South tho prin
cipal staple crop, namely, cotton, Is about two
weeks bohlnd time, and In any event it does
not begin to move to market as soon as tbo
cereals grown In tbo Northern and Northwest
ern States. For this reason the earnings of
Sontunrn roads may not show decldod improve
ment in tho near future, but tho certainty of
hoavy traffic during tho last half of the year
is already beginning to attract Investors to tbe
securities of railroads traversing the Southern
States, In the last hour tho mnrket rallied
sharply, so that tho only noteworthy net de
cline other than that in Sugar Refining was In
American Tobacco.
