STOCKS RESIST BEAR PRESSURE Prices Work Upward in Many Issues—Tone Firm.
NEW YORK. July 2S.—The stock market displayed many Irregular price movements at the beginning of business today, -with the losses and gains about equally divided. Traders met with little success in efforts to force lower prices during early trading. Central Leather, an exception, was driven down to 56%. After (he unsuccessful early drive nearly all issues rebounded. The market continued firm in the second hour. Cali money renewed at 8 per cent. Prices suffered a further slump in the early afternoon. Most of the decline was due to the foreign situation. Russian military forces, reported pushing ahead, caused doubts as to the status of the armistice between the bolsheviks and Poles. There was more confidence in the late afternoon price movement. A sudden drive was made at Replogle Steel, which 'forced that stock down s points to 70, from which it had a quick rally to 75. Call money got down to 7 per cent in last hour, the low figures for the current week. This had little effect on stock prices, however, although the general tone of tbt market was decidedly firm. The market was closed heavy. Governments bonds were tltacbanged and railways and other bonds heavy. Total sales were 012.500 shares; bonds, $11,079,000. —July 28— The liquidation that occurred yesterday eased matters here sufficiently so that we had a money market that could be ca.iod relatively easy. There was no demand for money to speak of, and this condition resulted 'n a slight easing in* the rates during the afternoon. But any single day's change in this respect must not be taken as a guide to the future, especially since all realize that the most important withdrawal of funds will come a little later when crop moving has assumed its uorroal proportions. In a business way all the news that we get tends to confirm the more pessimistic Ideas that have prevailed and the views which we have expressed for some time in these letters. A leading publication in its review oi the iron and steel industry, directs attention to the further curtailment that has occurred, and also to the falling oft of the demand in the automobile industry. The head of the largest catalogue concern is quoted as saying that the month shows a very decided falling oft In business. Locally the market, while weak in •pots, gave a fairly good account of Itself There was a demand from shorts, and some support in several issues was apparent. It is likely that we may have "home recovery but we can see nothing that would warrant the belief in anything more than temporary improvement. Underlying conditions lead to the thought that further liquidation is more than likely. MOTOIt SECURITIES. (By Thomson & McKinnon). —July 28Bid. Ask.

GRAINS REFLECT IMPROVED TONE Part of Previous Day*s Losses Are Recovered.
CHICAGO, July 28.—Wheat futures rose slightly at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Buying by a large Chicago house brought out some covering by shorts, but i litter that support, melted away in the ! face of encouraging crop anti weather re- j ports. Corn and oats futures rallied, all months advancing. Better cash buy- | lng was one of the main reasons. Provisions firmer with the grains and the live stock market. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —July 28 — Offerings of wheat continue exceed- ’ iugly liberal in the southwe-t. We expect this to continue. Export business is noted, but obviously it can not get large enough to be a bull factor. The supply is too large ar.d transportation facilities too limited. Eventually we expect to see lower priced whet. Cash wheat here sold lower than yesterday’s sales. While the bear side of the corn market on rallies is still logically the proper one, the technical position got very much overdone yesterday. It became oversold and overconfident. ! There were strong indications also of a letting up in receipts and cash pricer did not fully follow the decline in futures Leading elevator Interests were quick to note this change and buying of liberal quantities by them changed the sentiment. No. 2 yellow corn sold today at 5c premium over July, which will show the tone of the cash market. We should avoid getting long any corn on advances. Would save efforts for the selling side on the inevitable rallies that I rake place, especially at this time of j yea r. Scale selling orders up through any present advance might be advisable. The early purchases by elevator Interests did not come back on the market. The oats market was quick to change its tone. There were some reports from restricted territory of damage to late oats. Cash prices showed a much firmer tone and w;ere as much as 3 cents higher thun ; yesterday. Receipts of t*- v oats are coming along j satisfactorily. We do not expect the oats market to do much else for the moment then to j follow corn. CHICAGO GRAIN. —July 28Open. High. Low. Close. Gain.
