"lilM MOW STO MARKET .ail Rebound Due to the Pro fessional Operators , -.i..... . KO NEWS TO WORK ON United States Steel Stocks Commanded the Principal Attention, Going Up Sharply From Wednesday’s Depression—Bonds Lose. New York July 1.—Today’s rebound In prices when trading was commenced at the stock exchange seemed to be one of the usual fluctuations of a narrow pro fessional market and was characteristic ally lacking in any news to explain it. There was some revision of sentiment amongst the trades In accord with the new movement, but this was as much of an effect as a cause of a changed course of prices. Having sold stocks for three days w«hou*. any active participation on the part of of ths outside public in the market, the room traders began to feel that their short lines were getting un comfortably extended and they proceed ed to buy stock* to cover. The United States Steel stocks commanded the prin cipal attention and rebounded sharplj from yesterday's depression. There was no news of any change in the stage of the status of the strike situation when the market opened, but traders have come to the conclusion that they were unduly pessimistic over the prospect of a settle ‘ment when they sold those stocks down yesterday afternoon. So they bought back what they had sold. The recovery in those stockes had a dominant Influence on the rest of the. list and on speculative sentiment in general. In seeking for a bull argument to move prices In the new direction the recent strength of Norfolk and Western and other bituminous coal carriers offered a lead. That group of stocks was accordingly bought and bid up by traders and the movement spread to the anthracite roads. The movement ueemed to be based on the general con sideration of the sound condition in trade and periodical advances of 10 per cent, per ton in the price of anthracite, which goe«* Into effect today. The distribution of dividends ancl in terest today, including that on govern ment bonds was looked to to provide some demand for reinvestment. The con tinued advance this morning in sterling exchange seemed to foreshadow some outgo of gold and this possibility was a repressive influence on speculation. The sterling exchange rate now stands at the point at which the last gold was export ed. The hlgest prices generally were , mau<e before noon and the absolute fail ure to attract any outside following, prompted the professional to sell out their holdings again and take profits. There was no more news to account for the reaction than there was to explain the early advance The selling at first was of insignificant proportion, but it was found necessary in order to find market for even the smallest blocks to continue the concession, in the offered prices until the first sales affected showed wide de clines from the previous prices. United States Steel more than lost its 2 point rise and the preferred stock saved only a small fraction. The notable gains at other pints were reduced almost entirely to fractions and numerous net losses were established. The closing was dull and heavy. Business in ralroad bonds was small, and there were recessions from the best prices in the course of the day. Total sales, par value. $065,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. New York Stock Market. By Private Wire to Murphy * Got. Amer.

Prices Went Slightly Upward and Closed Steady LARGE DEMAND FOR SPOTS Toward Midday Business Broadened Out and a Substantial Advance In Pricea Was Scored—Hard ened at the Close. New York, August 1.—The cotton market opened quiet with prices one to three points higher, and for a time bid fair to follow an extremely narrow course with speculation confined to smaller limits than at any time of late. Toward midday busi ness broadened out quite rapidly and prices worked up sharply. While there was some reaction later, the general un dertone of the market was steady. There were good rains reported In Arkansas, but over the rest of the drouth region of the West the weather was very unfavora ble to the crop. The forecast gave very little hope of an early break in the dry spell, while crop advices were gloomy In the extreme. Shoddlng. stunted< growth, blooming at the top and withering of the leaves were frequently complained of. The mortthly corn condition statement of the Journal of Commerce made a bullish im pression, showing a decline of 1.7 In the average condition to 76.3. Receipts at the ports were again slim. In the last halt hour the market hardened on rumors that a large demand had developed for spot cotton. Shorts were the leading buyers on the advance. The close was steady with prices net six to eight points higher. New Tork, August 1.—Coton dull; mid dling, 8 l-16c; net receipts, 250; gross re ceipts, *26; sales, 81,770; stook, 17,861.

New Orleans, August 1.—The market for spot cotton was very quiet today. Holders are asking full board figures for their offerings of the lower grades—but they are not getting them. Buyers generally consider prices Vi below the quoted range, a fair level for offerings of that charac ter and refuse to take the goods except non the basis of a definite decline. This position is resisted by sellers, and as the two elements are antagonistically Inclined the movement Is resultantly meagre. Sales, 460 bales. Quotations reduced 1-16. The market for contracts was utterly de void of interest today and the volume of business transacted might well have been crowded into thirty minutes' spacs of time during an active period. The trade seems to have settled down to the task of waiting for the bureau reports and the announcement of crop conditions at noon n Monday next. The market opened 2 to 4 points down and was sluggish for a time, but strengthened up later and closed 7 to 9 points above yesterday's closing prices.

New York, August 1.—As was to be ex pected, the cotton market recovered In half an hour what had been lost In two or three days’ trading. Had the course been the other way and an advance for three days, a loss of the gain could have been looked for In about the same length of time. This Is the usual way a market marks 'time and the week’s business will doubtless revtal very little progress made In any direction. Everybody Is satisfied to let the market drag until the government report on Monday. There Is absolutely nothing In the situation beyond this wait ing. Trading today was even more limit ed than yesterday and at this rate the business of the week will prove the small est of the season. The Inducements to trade are few and scalpers And nothing In the outlook to encourage speculation. No one Is Inclined to short cotton as long as the progress of the crop Is so uncertain. DR. Y. E.

But there was no rain In the douth stricken section of note and the forecast Indicated no relief. The Journal of Commerce in its monthly re port showed the condition of the cotton crop at 76.3 against Its report of 77 on July 1, and this was regarded as bullish. There was nothing in Liverpool cables that market being about a stand off on futuhes and down l-32d. on spots on sales of 8000 bales. New York opened 1 to 3 hlgeher and then rose 3 to 6 points addi tional on a light covering demand. Spec ulation was stagnant however and prices later receded slightly under absence of support. The close was 6 to 8 points ad vance. Everybody 1b waiting for the bu seau and a scalping market may be ex pected until that time. Murphy & Co.’s Grain Letter. Chicago, August 1.—Wheat—The market opened steady. There was some disap pointment In the foreign reports. English markets showing a rather dull undertone and the Paris market was weak at the close. There was some little buying of wheat on the strength In corn, but thlB seemed to be more than offset by some selling of wheat by foreign bouses. The movement of winter wheat continues 11b tral. Wheat was strong with com and large export business. Corn—The com market was moderately active and again firmer, selling up t4®%c; there was not a great deal of oorn for sale. The Price Current has reduced Its esti mate to 1,600,000. and estimates of 1,600,000 to 1,600,000 bushels are frequent, although there are plenty who believe In a lower out turn. Estimates at present, however, are mere guess work, simply representing opinion, and only full Investigation after the actual condition. Com was weaker In the afternoon, with some country sell ing reported. Phillips of Chicago has transferred his trades to McReynoIds & Co., owing. It is said, to a desire (to straighten out accounts. He was reported long 1,000,000 buehels on corn. One state ment says that .trades were all settled. The market was excited and very strong on Missouri reports showing condition of .21, Indicating crop of 94,000,000 vs. 180,000,000 bushels lart year. Provisions moderatlve active.
