The dnllness in stocks continues. The
transactions at the Board were lighter than
for some days past, but prices are without
any material deviation.
The extreme heat of the weather inter-
fsres somewhat with business, but the
reason of the present dullness is due to an
almost entire absence of the public from the

keeps large number Of outsiders away
from the stock market. Merchants are not
likely to come to Wall street 10 speculate
upon an uncertainty, while making such
large profits ia regular business.

marked change.

mand.
