: NEW YORK, Aug. 20.— With trading
in enormous volume sales aggregating
2,900,000. shares last week's upward
movement in the stock market was re
sumed today. Throughout the session
the. market was extremely active, the
tape being from five to ten minutes be
hind time in recording transactions.
The tone was generally strong, al
though '. heuvy profit-taking in certain
issues, notably the Harriman stocks,
caused some Irregularity. The greater
part of the day's operations was of a
professional character. In spite of at
tempts to create a contrary Impression.
As a matter of fact, the wild character
of ■ trading was in Itself sufficient to
keep. the public out of the market.
around Union Pacific and Southern Pa
cific which. led last week's remarkable
movement. Both of these Issues had
"Wide" openings. Southern Pacific soon
advancing to a. high record figure.
There were heavy initial transactions
In several other issues, including Amal
gamated Copper. Commission houses
reported. a large accumulation of buy
ing orders from out of town. The ac
tion of the Harriman directors last
week was still the prlnclDal subject
of discussion.
:,' /With Atchison selling at the highest
price in Its history It was early remem
bertd that the dividend on this stock
-would be increased. Later when Penn
sylvania and Reading began to lead the
market movement rumor dealt in the
same way with them. While no defi
nite news developed on these points, it
is clear from the long chain of recent
events that the Interests which control
the 'destinies of the great railways nnd
Industrial enterprises of the country
are> supremely confident as to condi
tions for some time W come.
With the passing days less is heard
as to the possibility of a money string
ency in connection with tho movement
of crops. However, money, both on
time and call, manifested a hardening
tendency today, a numerous over year
loss bring reported at 6 ver cent while
call money loaned in considerable
amounts at 4 per cent, advancing to 5
per cent before the close.
Advices from London suggested an
absence of any urgent demand for gold
in this market. A large consignment
of the metal reserved at that center
from South Africa was reported to have
been taken by Russian bankers. There
■were, the usual optimistic reports from
the traffic managers of the railway
systems/some of them forecasting a
year or more of record tonnage.
• Briefly there seems to be nothing in
the 'history, of the American railroad
to compare with the prevailing demand
1 or. • transportation. As for crops
•weather conditions were all favorable
tOi further Improvements, indications
pointing to bumper yields in everything
except oats.
■:... In the late session of the market the
■movement shifted to other issues, such
as the Hill stocks. St. Paul, Illinois
Central. Sugar and Brooklyn Transit.
The. spurt in these issues was probably
designed to cover further realizing and
the swift pace of the early day was
maintained with but slight diminution.
The flurry in call money Just before
the close precipitated some heavy sell
ing.. Union Pacific maklnsr a net loss
and the balance of the active list sell
ing from 1 to 3 points below the day's
best figures. Opinions as to London's
participation in this market differed,
early reports telling of profit taking
sales while later it was declared tlmt
the day's business Bhowed purchases on
balances.
• The strength of the copper stocks
here was doubtless a reflection in part
of the higher prices quoted for the
metal In London. In addition to the
stocks named new high records were
made by St. Paul preferred and Chesa
peake & Ohio.
The subtreasury at the close of busi
ness today reported payments aggre
gating $23,000,000 for account of the
new Panama bonds.
I Sales of bonds for the day were in
keeping with the heavy business in
stocks amounting to $4,745,000.
United States bonds were all un
changed on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Bearish Sentiment In the Wheat Pit.
One Cant Advance— Pro*
visions Weak
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20. — Strength In the
wheat market developed after trading
was well under way. Early In the
session sentiment was quite bearish be
cause of lower cables, fair weather In
the ITnlted States and an Increaoe In the
world's movement. Toward the middle
of the senslon some bullish dispatches
were received, one of which estimated
that the yield of spring wheat would
be reduced five to ten bushels per acre
because of excenslve heat. These ad
vices started lively bidding by shorts,
but the demand mat with only small
offerings. The result was a rapid ad
vance In prices. Tho change in senti
ment was aided by an advance of % to
lc In the price of cash wheat Ht Kansas
City. Another feature that favored the
bulls was a reduction of 20 per cent In
primary receipts compared with those
of the corresponding day a year ago.
The market closed strong with prices
almost at the highest point of the day.
September opened % 0 V4c lower at 69% c
to 69% c, sold off to fi!l%o and then ad
vanced to 71%«?>7H<;c. The close was
%<3>lo higher at 71 % «3>7lttc
Increased receipts and Ideal weather
for the rapid development of the n«w
crop caused weakness In the corn mar
ket parly In - the session. September
closed at 48c, unchanged from Satur
day.
After an easier start the oats market
developnd n strong undertone on cover-
Ing by shorts. September closed He up
at 89 % c.
Despite a ten cent advance in the
price of live hogs the provision market
was inclined to weakness early in .the
day. At tho close September pork was
up sc. lard wan 12V£Q>15c higher and
ribs 12% c higher.
