shade higher.

steady. The sales amounted to $63T, 800.
The trading in the Texas & Pacific COM

somewhat larger number was issued to-
day, but prices made little Roadway. The
final figures generally show Insignificant
changes only.
The stock market to-day was again ex.
tremely dull. There was nothing except
the advance in sterling exchange rates
which had any influence on values.
Stocks were generally firm early in the
day, but yielded before noon and the
course OF prices was generally downward
until toward the close. There was no
important move except in Manhattan
which dropped l, part Of which was later
recovered and the market was confined
entirely to the operations of room traders.
The final changes possess little or no
significance. The prices at opening were
generally TO per cent. below the clos
ing figures of Saturday. The final prices
are generally lower but the differences
are for small fractions only.
