the sale of water direct to vessels
at the harbor instead of selling to
the navigation district which then
re-sells to the ships as the plan
works now. With the new proposal
goes also the suggestion that 1400
feet of new pipe line be laid In or-
der that no dangerous pressure or
dangerous effects be felt on the city

NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. July 10. WPy—The
stock market made a quiet but or*
derly advance into higher level
Wednesday. New 1935 peak* werr
made by an umber of favcrite* but
not all of them were able to hold the
full advantage.
Commodity markets which whirl-
ed around at a furlou* pace Tues-
day were more restrained but lost
only a little of the steady undertone
Silver and gold advanced in Lcn-
don wheat and other grains pointed
upward during early trading in Chi-
cago butl evelled off later and cot-
ton held close to Tuesday’s ftnal-
'n New Ycrk and New Orleans. Rub-
ber sugar and hidef utures were
steady and there was a slightly firm-
er tone in the foreign copper mar-
ket.
The corporate bond market es
oec tally junior rails showed modest
improvement! But U. 8. govern-
ments continued to display irreg-
ularity. Foreign exchanges were in-
clined to retreat in the face of strong
dollar rates.
Among shares best showing was

Further evidence that there had

was seen in the June report of Olld-

Irregularity characterized price
movements at the start of trading
on the cotton market Wednesday
with near months two points high-

"here was little in the news to
influence price in either direction

As the morning progressed there
was little change from the open-

One crop commentator wired from
Austin Texas that reports Texa
had received too much rain were
absurd. After visiting most of th'
