New York. July 1T was an extremely
dull day at the stock exchange. The sales
were only o. 10 shares. Of which S4.Ol
were Sugar, u. 700 ST Paul. 100 Tobacco.
and $500 Burlington and Quincy. Nothing
else figured for as much as 5000 shares
ana number Of stocks were wholly neg
lected. Interest in the proceedings Of the
convention and the indisposition to enter
INTO any enga gements until the platform
IS decided upon, account for the limited
volume OF trade. At the opening OF the ex-
change the traders showed some disap-
pointment at the light orders received
from abroad and the bears took advau-
tage Of this to hammer the list. Sugar fell
from lo93s to loss and Chicago Gas from
5ls4 to 81. The other losses were ld1a per
cent. The decline was soon recovered and
by midday an advance of L to rs from
lowest figures had been established. Sugar
maintained its rise to the end, but the
other leading issues closed at q slight re-
action. Among the specialties Lackawanna
cropped "a 10 1874, while Nickel Plate
I'd, preferred, rose from % to 3d. and Jer-
sey Central from 1904 to 1914. Speculation
left on duh and steady In tone. There was
little in the way of news, beyond the re-
ports from Chicago. Net changes show a
