CROP PROSPECTS SOMNCE STOCKS Heavy Trade in Industrial Is sues With Firm Undertone to the Market. By CHARLES W. STOtIM. NEW YORK, July 19. —Accumulation of Amalgamated Copper and Erie preferred which caused these issues to advance 1 point was the event of chief interest at the opening of the stock market today. A number of issues opened with fractional losses, which gave the list the appearance of irregularity. The recessions here were caused by heaviness in Americans in Lon don rather than by selling in the New York market. ’ nited Stater Steel common after open- I ing % off, rallied. American Smelting opened % up, but later gained addition al. I'nion Pacific made a similar gain. Fractional gains were made in General Electric. Chino Copper and others. Read ing. which opened % down at 164%, re covered this loss within the next few moments and a similar movement occur red in Utah Copper. At the ei.d of 15 minutes the tone was generally stronger. Canadian Pacific, which was heavy in London, was % lower here at the offset. The curb was steady. Americans in London were narrow, although coppers there were firm. Strength was shown in man)- issues in the late forenoon. Amalgamated Copper and I’nion Pacific were prominent, ad vancing more than a point each. Scarcity i f stocks and favorable crop conditions were important factors in determining she market tone. Further advances were made in the late afternon trading with buying taking on more aggressive character. A number of stocks sold at the highest prices so far this month. Most of the interest was at tached to trading in St. Paul, which sold at 194 against 1.02 at the opening. Sub stantial and additional gains were made in Reading. Lehigh Valley and Union Pae iffic. The copper stocks and the local tractions also were in brisk demand. The market closed firm; governments unchanged; other bonds steady. Stock quotations'. ■ Last i Clos.lPrev STOCKS High:Low.

C HIC AGO, July 19.—Wheat opened le to 2%c higher today on a confirmed r- ' port of the closing of the Dardanelles and the renewal of hostilities between Italy and Turkey. Liverpool and the smaller markets abroad were all sens , ' tionally higher. Argentine shipments were heavy, and there was a good de crease :n the amount on ocean passage Corn was %c to l%c better in svTn pathy with wheat, and oats were %T' m l%c higher. Provisions were higher all around w'th higher hogs at the yards and in symna. thy with the advance in grain. A spectacular advance and fall in the price of wheat caused wild exeitem,,. , at the board of trade tddav. The price advanced 2 cents, hovered about t‘ho higher mark for a few minutes, and (h, r fell back to its former level. The -r r ' tacular fluctuation was caused b\- i|-„ closing of ;he Dardanelles as a 'rr- i|- L of the Italian reverses in the Turkish war, brokers here asserted. July wheat opened at 96%. shot up to 98, hovered a few minutes, and fell back to 96%. September shifted from 93", to 95% and then went back. December jumped from 96 to 98, and then slumped back again. 1 u The break after the advance was due to a bear movement on the part of brol-r-rs’ who believed the powers would intervene in the Dardanelles ■ trouble. Wheat closed with a strong tone today (fnd with prices ranging from 1 h. higher than last night’s close. Cash de mand here was slow, but it was better in the Southwest markets. There wa< a sensational bulge early based on politi cal troubles between Italy and Turkev Thhre was considerable realizing arid short covering on the upturn. Corn closed % to 1c better.
