'C FINANCIAL NEWS STRONG TONE MAINTAINED BY CHIEF ISSUES IN THE WALL STREET MARKET List 'Follows United States Steel Common Strength in Late Trading Due to Reported Peace Move at Washington Marines in Good Demand High Points in Today's Financial News Chief issues maintained strong tone in Wall street trading, especially the steel shares. Stocks of companies expecting Government orders active on New York Curb. Grain and cotton irregular, liar silver unchanged. Some favorable railroad earnings issued. Foreign exchange steady. Money easy in Wall street. Lfi NEW YOHK. July 30. Stock trading wns kept quite active all through the day In splto of Intense heat and a general confusion of market news and price movements. Tho chief Issues, especially tho steel Industrial group, mnlntnlncil n strong tono all through the day, with United States Steel common, nfter advancing to 123T and reacting to 122, ranking u brisk up turn to 12414. Generally tho rest of tho list followed the leader on all these movements, but thcro were somo exceptions to tho ndvnnclng tendency. Industrial Alcohol nnd Distillers, which were strong In tho forenoon, declined later In tho day, and tho copper st6cks failed to nharo In tho steel ndvnnccs. It was said on tho bonrdroom floqr nnd In tho Wall street district gen erally that tho strength In tho late trading was duo to tho reported peace movo at Washington as a result of earnest endeavors of Oermany to reach a basis for negotiations. Washington ridiculed theso statements, but they found many believers In quarters where tho market tono Is determined. Tho Marino issues wcro In good demand during tho greater part of tho day, with tho preferred stocn ndvnnclng moro than 1 point, nnd Baldwin Loco motive and American Locomotive wcro helped In their market position by allusions td what these companies will do If any foundation oxlsts for tho peace reports. Itallroad stocks were steady, but were neglected becnu&o of the devotion of tho limited speculative Interests to the Industrial Issues. In bonds tho most Important feature was activity In tho Liberty Loan, with tho full bonds of 11000 or more par, nfter declining to 9D 33-50, ndvnnclng to 9D 47-50. Net Hlah, Low.
