The mafket operations In the two hours of business were on a generally email scale, but there were wide price movements in a number ot Issues, with the railroads acting altogether Independently of the Industrial specialties. Thero vfcro many Indications again that railway stoclts are gradually coming Into greater favor vith the Investment and semi-Investment class. This was shown especially in Wabash preferred A, which Bold at a new high record, crossing 61, with most ot the'buylng based on posltlvo statements that the stock will be put on tlioftdlvt tlend list at tho July meeting. The earnings for tho year ending June 30, while not In hand for the last month of tho year, can be closoly estimated, and it Is known will bo In excess of 10 per cent on the preferred A stock. This ndvanco contrasted with tho weakness In Baldwin Locomotive, which yielded 3 points to 71 In tho first hour. So far as can be learned tho selling of Baldwin in tho last fow days has beon chiefly duo to exhausted margins, but tho Btatoment of tho American Car and Foundry Company, Issued during the week, ( mado many holders fear that Baldwin will bo equally disappointing in its showing of results from war-order business when its statement is made up. This con dition is wrong, however, as tho methods of tho two companios in arranging for their war ordors was directly opposlto. It was known long beforo tho American Car and Foundry Company statement was published that tho management had not provided itself with steel at low levels when contracts wcro taken. Pressed Stool Car, on tho other hand, was well provided with cheap steel and was said to havo mado hugo profits on its year's business, and Baldwin Locomotlvo pursued tho samo courso, buying steel when 1 contracts for its product wore mado. 1 It was also said that tho American Locomotlvo Company has mado profits In tho current year almost equal to tho market value of Its capital stock. No one eeems to caro now about theso statements of earnings. Tho room talked a good deal today about tho repression of Ge'rman activities, and tho traders mado suggestions first which were later turned into predictions that important nowa, would como from Europe in two weoks. It is useless to say. that theso traders do not know anything moro about tho European situation than any ono olso. Mexico played Its part in providing a bear card in tho press com ments on tho donanco expressed by, Carranza, which formed a basis for new soll- , lng of Mexican Petroleum. In tho genoral list thero was a good deal of flounder ing around by tho professional clement, which seemed undecided as to whether to stand on a short position over Sunday or not. f ..

Thero was some liquidation and profit taking sales, on which prices yielded moderately, but tho declines wcro without significance.

Business was quiet on the call on the Cotton Kzchange this morning, thero belnj; only but six trades, with no transactions In March or May, The tone, however, was steady prices being 2 to 3 points higher. Although Liverpool was closed, there was some buying believed to bo for foreign account, and one of the recent aggressive bears was a bidder for various months. Traders apparently hesitated, .waiting for the Government report to be made public. The Government cotton report proved to be as big a surprise to the bulls this month, as it was to tho bears last month, repre senting about 3.6 Increase In condition over the June report, and an acreage consider ably in excess of local anticipations. Its Immediate effect was a break of 19 to 20 points from the high of the morning, at tended by heavy unloading and bear press, ure. At the decline brokers who frequently act for spot houses bought rather freely, but thero was a good deal of cotton for sale and the demand made little Impression on prices. As news of the figures spread through the Street an increase of selling resulted and prlpea at 11:15 were about 24 points down from the forenoon high level and IS under last night's close.

Keystone Telephone preferred lost a lull point and Electric storage Battery a quarter. T: i HE reason for the relatively cheap prices of good bonds is plain. For a long time, European holders of American bonds have been selling their securities in our markets. Large blocks were grouped under control of foreign governments, which in some cases imposed a heavy tax on holders of American securities in order to compel them to sell. These bonds have been almost wholly absorbed by investors here. We have' made inquiries of leading banking institutions in New York and find that they have reached the same conclusion as we, namely, that the evidence is convincing that the European selling of blocks of American bonds of any consequence is prac tically at an end. Further, that no important American corporation financing is in near prospect. The abun dance of money, and the fact of the apparent complete absorption ,of bonds, strongly indicate that the demands of the near future will cause a substantial rise in price of standard bonds. We, therefore, recommend the purchase now of the bonds which we own and offer for sale in our July circular, a copy of which we would like to send you.
