MoNsAY, August f.

MossAY, August 4-6 r. NJ
The stock market is literally dead. 1t is many
years since we had such dull market at this sea
son, or any other season The aggregate daily tran
sactions at both boards do not amount to the bust
mess in any one leading stock in active times. With
this stagnation we do not have any serious fuctua-
lions in prices. There does not appear to be de
sire to sell. Holders are firm and confident and
look forward TO the return Of outoftown specula-
tors with belief that higher prices must rule. 1t is
this feeling that sustains the market. Holders, as
general thing, are not compelled to SELL and where
prices are low there is certainly no inducement to
clear OFT with an intention Of coming in at lower
points There are no stocks ON the list which can
be considered good sale at current rates, with con
iinaed ease in money matters and then on the other
hand there are very few which can be considered
good purchase. II is the time when those who are
out are likely to keep out, and wait a movement
Of some kind. Most of the railroad stocks pay
for the money invested in them at present prices
well enough to let it remain. Parties disposed to
realize are deferred from doing by the difficulty
in finding better employment for the money. The
stock market is just at this time in very curious
condition. Prices, compared with those ruling at
this lime last year are very low. Many stocks are
nearly a. much reduced in market value as during
the panic in Wall street during the last week of
October. The supply OF money is now abundant, and
likely to continue so for the present In October
last il was unusually stringent. The banks now
have line Of loans out, of one hundred and eleven
millions Of dollars; then it but thirtyfour mil
lions. N October last foreigners were drawing
their capital from US; they are re-nvesting it
in our public securities All these arguments APP
near to be OF little use. The stock market is de-
pressed, and probably will continue There are
many reasons for and against this state Of things,
and great deal can be said on both sides. In the
tace of al influences favoring improvement, the
Tendency Of prices is downward.

Bales Of bonds and stocks were made at auction by
