Demand was general at the start owing to an advance of td to lSd at Liverpool, which was largely due to a decrease of nearly 2,000.000 bushels In the Argentina visibly supply and to smaller exports for the week from that country than bad been predicted. Bull leaders gave the market active sup port during the greater part of the day and thla led to free covering by shorts In general. Reports of damage to the French crop, claims that the Balkan situa tion Is again becoming acute and re port alleging enormous export sales from this country were factors that further strengthened the market lata In the ses sion.

The rather almie drift of prices of stocks turned upwards todsy after an uncertain period of backing and filling. Dealings ex panded also slightly over yesterday's low level for the year. The meager specula tion centered In Reading and wss based apparently on the labor outlook. Th rejection by the miners' represen tatives of the counter proposition of the anthracite operator is accepted with pro fessed equanimity by holders of Reading stock. The prospect of a shutdown cf mining operations seems to he regarded not unfavorably as giving opportunity to dlxpoae of an accumulated surplus of coal and to reduce the interest ohargea for carrying this surplus. This la an ar gument advanced by buyers of the stock. There Is an undercurrent of belief tnat there wilt be no strike and this alan la a factor In modifying the Influence of the news from the conference. Some of the buying of Reading was supposed to come from uncovered spots. The movement in the general list wss little more than one of sympathy with that In Reading. There is some ft-sr that the tariff bill, when It comes from the committee next week, may contain some surprises that will prove disagreeable to those Interested In some of the Industrie affected. The broad Intimation of a probable abolition of the duty on Iron ore weakened the certifi cate of participation in the Iron and ore properties of the Great Northern railway today. Estimates of the week's currency movement were followed by languid Inter est In view of the continued pressure of funda for lending. The price of copper was marked down again at the New York Metal exchange and receded also In the London market. The foreign mar kets reported dull trading as well a here, but some sensitiveness to rumors regarding the Balkan situation Is manl feted. The rebound In Erie on the de nial of yesterday rumors of a receiver ship was followed by moderate trength of stocks. Bonds were steady, total sales, rsr value. 12.750.000.
