The majority of crop accounts are FAIRLY ACTIVE TONE WAS IRREGULAR AT SLIGHT DECLINES. Traders Turned to Bear Side Ear ly, Forced Some Sharp Declines. By Private Leased Wire, New ( York; July 9.—On the stock exchange operations were under those of Saturday under depressing influ ences of the large loss in surplus bank reserves. While, as explained, the un expectedly heavy cash shrinkage was probably of a temporary nature, duo tp the withdrawal of trust company funds over the period when they must make report to the state treasurer, It was looked upon as sufficient reason for discontinuing operations for the rise. There was enough profit taking by the trading element, which had fol lowed last week’s rh-e, to cause a gen eral recession In prices this morning. This selling was supplemented by pressunT from bearish quarters. But, on the other hand, liquidation from the more Important sources of a week and fortnight ago was entirely absent. An other noteworthy feature was that the volume of business Increased as prices receded and the whole action of the market suggested that had it been left to Itself It would have remained about stationary. The stock market opened fairly active and Irregular, with a slight de cllne. Illinois Central was the strong est feature, opening up 11-8 to 177. Reading showed considerable firmness. Gains of 1-8 were made In St. Paul, id Pennsylvania, while the Steel Issues were up .1-4. Northern Pacific was down 1-4. After a steady to firm opening, that was followed by moderate advances In number of stocks, the market be came heavy under pressure from some unknown source, and during the rest of the first hour the tone was heavy and the price movement generally down ward. In the first few minutes there were gains ranging from 1-4 to 11-4 points. Arbitrage brokers say that London opened very Mttong, but sold off later, and about 10,000 shares were sold here in the first hour for London account. There was little outside busi ness, and the room traders, after first trying to advance prices, turned to the bear side and have since been sellers. ^Governments unchanged. Other bonds steady.
