Oil Weaker, but No Signs Of n Material
Break.
The bullish feeling on the Oil Exchange was
more pronounced yesterday than on previous
days of the week, and prices assumed a slight
ly lower level, but there was nothing that could
be called break, and, except for a few min
utes in the forenoon, the market ranged above
a dollar all day. There were no special infiu-
ences at work. SO far as known, and the weaker
feeling was due entirely to the longs, who are
maneuvering for a slump to enable them to
buy at lower figures Trading was brisk most
of the day but confined to small lots

it is expected they will be very prompt This

Meeting the well with the tank commenced.
When this is finished it will be drilled in. If
this well proves good. it will be an important
one, as it will materially extend the territory
south. Twelve wells are now ready for drilling
near this one and one waiting for the result
from the Acheson.

comment.

SUSTAINED BY LONDON.
The Big City Shows Confidence in American
Securities - A Raid ON Reading
Which Affects the Entire List
Everything Weak ar
the Close.

the Close.
NEW YORK, July 26.-This was another dull
and almost featureless day upon the Stock Ex-
change, though the aggregate of the business
done was somewhat larger than that of yester-
day. The dealings, however. were on the same
limited scale except income stock, and the
fluctuations were confined to the same narrow
range, while the result of the days operations
is to leave the list with fractional changes
about equally divided between gains and losses.
The news of the day was of no special import
ance, the only rate cutting being by the Den
yer, Texas and Fort Worth, while the general
drift of the rumors circulated was bullish.
London again showed its confdedce in the
values of American stocks by sending higher
quotations than our last nights figures, and
both London and Chicago were buyers of their
favorites during most of the day. The COM
mission houses reported rather more orders
from the outside, and the temper of the room
this morning was bullish for a turn, which had
the effect of opening the market at generally
from HGlh per cent higher than last evening
prices, while Missouri Pacific was exceptional
ly higher, with gain of 20 and Northwestern
and Jersey Central were both lower. The
early dealings were extremely featureless,
though the Cleveland, Columbus. Cincinnati
and St Louis stocks moved up sharply and soon
scored a handsome advance
Later the movement extended to the rest OF
the list, and St Paul, Union Pacific and New
England took the lead in the upward move
ment, followed later by Missouri Pacific and
Atcheson, though in none Of these was the ad-
vance for more than fraction. After noon
there was the usual marked decrease in the
amount of business done, but the advance met
with no check, and toward delivery hour most
of the list were at the best prices Of the day.
News came from Philadelphia, however, that
Reading was disposing of its surplus gains to
obtain money to complete its contemplated
terminals, and raid was made upon that stock,
which carried it down per cent, Lackawanna
following. The movement spread to the re-
mainder of the list after delivery hour. and the
whole market then declined, and in many cases
the gains of the forenoon were completely
wiped out The market finally closed dull, but
weak at close to the opening prices. There
were no important final changes.
Dullness still continues to increase in rail-
road bonds, the total sales OF all issues to-day
being only S69o 900. but there was special anima-
ton in the Reading fours. owing to the before
mentioned rumor. and they contributed S12l, 900
to the total. There was the same lack of
character to the dealings in the rest of the list,
and important changes in quotations are few in
number.
