Various Influences con tributed to the change; the feeling was in favor of a reaction; the report of The Journal of Commerce giving in its preliminary forecast only 2.8 per cent in crease in acreage was construed as bull ish: Miss' Giles makes the increase 2 7 per cent, a bullish circular by Mr. Price; bullish weather prospects ami more op timistic views from Paris op the po litical situation. First trades here xvere at an advance of 14 to 17 points, which met with heavy selling, causing a depression of 10 points. \s soon as this selling xvns accommo dated. the market again showed a stronger tone and a tendency toward further reaction.

It is generally »-oiiceded by judges of markets and values that no prolonged upward movement in stocks can bo looked for until the bond m arket develops a firmer un dertone. With standard bonds slowly but steadily decling and new issues coming upon the market in large vol ume. there is little inducement for th - public to buy common stocks, ex cept ns a speculative venture. There are exceptions to this, as to all rules. The main point, however, lies in the fact that active and broad speculative movements in the stock market do not precede a firm bond market. With many indications of a high rate for funds in the fall, a sustained bill’ movement in stocks is scarcely looked for at this writing. LIVERPOOL GRAIN MARKET. Li\ LRPuOL.
