New York, July H.-There was material
falling Off in the dealings at the stock
exchange to-day, the total sales footing
up only 244,792 shares against 4SOsS yes
terday The opening was generally firm
London houses having bought moderate
amounts of the issues listed abroad, such
as St. Paul and Louisville. A drive at the
Industrials followed and this destroyed
the good feeling. Sugar, Tobacco, Leath-
er and Chicago Gas falling #915 per cent
under pressure. The general railway list
also ran off partly in sympathy with the
break in the lndustrials, and partly be-
cause the favorable rumors circulated late
yesterday failed to materialize a rally in
government bonds the new fours showing
a recovery of y per cent. from yesterday s
low point, and the fact that the engage
ment of 81. 100000 gold for shipment to Eu-
rope did not lead to fresh selling of the
long stock, set the shorts to thinking,
and in the afternoon session there was a
fair amount of buying TO cover contracts
New York Central which sold at 80 yes
terday to-day brought %. less than a
share changing hands. There are other
standard stocks which are heavily over
sold and it needs but a little courage on
the part of the bulls to bring about a SHARP
rally In the standard issues. In the last
hour Sugar, which had sold up to 1864
ran off to 1914 on the announcement that
the price of refined will be reduced. This
led to realizations, and the early rise of
3aQ4 per cent, was generally lost. Specu-
lation closed barely steady. Net changes
az a rule show losses. of 1z@1h per cent.
Louisville and Nashville, and New York
Central gained 1Qla per cent Sugar,
which was most active, figured for $500
shares. The trading in st. Paul amounted
to 1850 shares. Bonds were higher. Sales
were 81, 225. 600
