FINANCIAL-COMMERCIAL TRADING MARKED BY MUCH CAUTION Rise in Prices Not Met by Effect ive Demand, and Sag Follows WATCH RAILROAD SITUATION Copper Industrials Are Showing Some Relief from Recent Pressure [Associated Press] NEW YORK, July 14.—Extreme cau tion was manifest In the conduct of speculative transactions In stocks to day, It was this that accounted for the dullness of the market rather than any absolute neglect. Signs of ob stacles which appeared In the course of a price movement in either direc tion discouraged the pursuit of opera tions for any long time. A rise in prices got away from the, level of any affective demand and a sag resulted. When the uncovered bears bid for Stocks, however, they complained of difficulty In securing them and called the market oversold. The closing tone was strong. The action. of the Interstate com merce commission in favor of sus pending Important and general rate advances proposed by the railroads was discussed more In a strained attempt to interpret its significance- toward the final decision, on the reasonableness of the advances asked than for Its face value. The refusal to suspend the ad vances In suburban passenger rates out of New York was regarded as so far favorable to the railroads, but tho determination to assume Jurisdiction of the question and to proceed to con sider the reasonableness of the ad vance was against the contention of the railroads. • There Is a feeling of confidence that advances will be allowed ultimately. These assumptions contributed to the undertone of the strength In the stock market. The vote to'authorize a strike by Pennsylvania railroad employes was reflected only In a neglected and al most motionless state of that stock. A settlement was expected, and the belief that wage advances would be conceded was joined to the confidence felt over allowance of advances In freight rates. * The copper Industrials showed some relief from the pressure to which they have been subjected recently, and this took out of the general market a sympathetic Influence toward depres sion. The metals In the London market at the same time showed some re covery. The maintenance of the Bank of England official discount " rate proved Ineffective in holding the pri vate -discount rate,- in spite of repay ments of upward of $25,000,000 of mar ket indebtedness .to the bank.- The re demption of government treasury bills supplied resources to the money mar ket for this purpose. Further large maturities of treasury bills are In Im mediate prospect." Sterling ! exchange declined here, to a new low level in consonance with this condition in Lon don, Indicating the prospect of further Imports of gold to New York. • ■ - Bonds were Irregular.

CHICAGO GRAIN Ppeclxl service to The Herald by J. C. Wil son, member of the Chicago board of trade. New York stock exchange and San Francisco bond and stock exchange. 212 West Fifth street, Los Angeles. CHICAGO, July 14.—Wheat took a fresh start today and scored handsome and material gains. Rains northwest yesterday were counted Inad equate, while the Canadian northwest sent a fresh batch of claims that Indicated a very serious situation. There was some reinstate ment today of the property sold out hy the northwest yesterday, but the chief and the earliest demand came from the local bulls. The latter were of the professional sort and worked with vigor and effectiveness. The com mission orders that appeared later carried the market along. Meanwhile the offerings of cash wheat were not large from the interior for arrival later. The trade also noted that south western shipments were nearly as large as the receipts, the result of recent buying by north western mills, which were reported yesterday as falrl- well filled. Russian crop news Is of a disturbing sort, intense heat making a crit ical wheat situation. Corn started weak and lower on nne rains In part and fine weather In all of the corn belt today. There was considerable speculative pressure early and much from commission con cerns Later strength of wheat, an improved eastern demand for cash corn, very light sales over night by the country and more talk of high hay prices and short feed crops north west finally turned values upward. July and September led the list. Oats showed more disposition to follow wheat than corn today. Crop advices from the north west continue unfavorable, and there has been further buying of September and selling of December hern by elevator Interests. Crop news from most of the oats country has been good. Reporting considerable oats bought In country today to arrive here. Except for some further advance in July pork the provision list today has eased back a little There was selling on a fairly large scale by a Milwaukee packer, who reported cash trade light.
