NEW YORK. July 19.— The etock market
was rather reactionary to-day up to near the
close and there was a rather general ac
quiescence in this condition on the part of
specu'Mtve operators who have had the leader
ship or the recent demonstrations for higher
prices. The plausible explanation offered for
the «nti«ual restraint on the part of a class
of Individuals rather prone to excew was that
the rise In prices was going too fast fo- lt«
own good and that a reaction wag normally
dUe - V"iu re * rtIon wa « Peking, however, in
some of the normal appearances. The usual
reaction In a bull market Is likely to com"
in a fiurry after a flnal upward resh and
great animation In the trading, duo to the
final measure, of. the leader, to unload tVlr
holdings at a profit. The first wlsL in
prices 13 likely to be correspondingly ?harn
with the withdrawal of artificial fwp&rt ?h#
rush of belated holders to save lo«— o^S
the sudden turn upon the market 0? succ?-.
ful operators who hav- realized their d^ZK
and are eager to further the reaction fm- f
profitable turn on the short side or to facilitate
the recovery of long holdings at 1 „«!
level. Bnt to-day", market showed a undencv
to lapse Into dullness qulck!y at sllrht v£
cllne. and the professional bear, wfrl ««*
parcntly very timid about making an attack
on pric«s. Some quite vigorous support *».
offered at the opening decline and the later
market ehowed the -sustaining effect of sornn
new .points of strength whici were developed
Thert was little In the Cay"* news that was
of material affect on prices. • The opening de
clis», however, wes a plain reflection of the
Lcadon market caused by the incidents la the

CHICAGO, July 10. — Initial quotations were
at sharp decline.". September wheat being
down ?ie^c to at 88«4c to 88%c. On
the break there was considerable covering by
shorts, but the demand was not ,heavy enough
to cause another slump. Later the market re
covered much of the early loss as the result
of the buying induced by prospects of a big
decrease In the world's visible supply.
Strength of corn also was a supporting factor.
Within the last half-hour, however, the mar
ket again became weak on heavy liquidation,
and the close was almost at the low point.
Final figures on September were 87%@87%c.
July sold between lij'-jc and 07 Vic and closed
at the bottom.
September corn opened Vie to %<Q\{c lower
at 48{4<£M9c. *old between 4S-}ic and 40Uc and

wheat. The market closed practically at the
high point. September opened unchanged to
VlC higher at 32% c to 32%c. ranged between
32^c and 33VSc and closed 33@33^c.
Some strength was displayed In provisions
early on the strong hog markets, but enough
liquidation developed to cause slight losses In

The fruit market was liberally supplied with
most descriptions and there was an abundance
of low grade stock pressing fcr sale at Irregu
lar prices. Good, hard offerings of Plums and
Prunes -were wanted for shipment north and
readily commanded full figures, and wrapped
yellow Peaches, suitable for shipment, sold up
to 65e a box. an advance. Shipments of early
Peaches from the river districts have about
ceased and the market Is gradually working
around Into good shape. Bartlett Pears were
still plentiful and ruled weak at lower prices,
although trade was moderately active. The
canners were buying No. 2 stock at the quo
tations and offering $30 per ton for the best
stock. Occasional sales of Plums In bulk were
reported for canning account at prices ranging
from $20 to $25 per ton. Apricots in bulk con
tinued firm and active, with the canners pay--
Ing as high as $33 per ton for the best stock.
Strictly fancy offerings from Martinez sold In
small parcels to the regular trade at 2*4c per
pound, but 2c was the ruling price for offerings
from other sections. Grapes were in free sup
ply, but offerings were Mostly small and sour
and found few buyers. Cantaloupes and Nut
meg Melons from Fresno were mostly green
and sold slowly at easier rates, while offer-
Ings from other sections moved freely at good
prices. Stocks of Watermelons were light and
prices were well maintained. Red Nectarines
were lower at $1 per crate, while the white
variety were awaiting a buyer at any price.
Receipts of Blackberries were suddenly heavy
and lnclvdcd a great many . chests of poor
quality from the Sebastopol region, which
dragged at the minimum quotation. The other
Berries were In good request and unchanged.
Supplies of Citrus fruits were light, but ample,
and all prices stood as before.

BOSTON. July 19. — There is a heavy de

buying of territory wools, especially Al me

the local market did not become thoroughly
effective until after the selling had ceased for
the day. The publication of the crop bul
letin of the Weather Bureau was an effective
Influence on the late rally, as the conditions
there recorded were calculated to reassure
fears of damage or Its extent to winter wheat,
while other crops were practically unaffected
by any adverse conditions. The rejection by
the majority of the directors of the Northern
Securities of what seemed like a conciliatory
advance on behalf of the Harriman Interests
offers no other surface explanation than to dis
credit the recently prevailing rumors of . the
likelihood of a settlement out of court by
compromise of the dispute over the manner
of distribution of assets of the corporation.
But the market accorded a cheerful reception
to the news and made a vigorous recovery of
the early declines. The grain and cotton car
riers led the rally with Atehison In the van
and gains of 1 to 1% were established in dif
ferent members of these groups in the final
hour of the trading. The close was strong
and active.
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value. $2,600,000.
United States bonds were unchanged on call.
