New York, July 30.-The recent tendency of the stock market to dulness was rather actuated today by the fact that the London stock exchange was taking a holiday. Deal tngs in railroad stocks were at minimum, and there was notable disinclination to sell Even the professional beans, who have really been the only prominent sellers in the market for a period of nearly two months, hesitated to put out short lines today in fear of some developments over Sunday that would give the market its long expected impetus to activity. With the expectation of news at any time that Ma nila has been occupied by the United States forces, with the expedition in Porto Rico making favorable progress and with con- crete proposals for the conclusion of peace under the actual official discussion, the bears do not care to leave short contracts open over Sunday in a market that has shown such a long firm resis tance to all efforts to force a decline and dislodge of ferings of stock. There was, besides, a continuance of the improvement of some of the industrial stocks which recently have been prominent. There was large and az gressive buying of Brooklyn Transit, at- tributed to the predominant interest in the property, with a resulting rise of nearly per cent. in the price, The rubber stocks continued to advance on the unders tanding that they have become the favortes of one of the streets influential speculative lead- CTS. Sugar and Metropolitan Street Rail- way also showed strength. There was no news or known financial or industrial de- velopment to account for the advance in price of these various stocks Prices are fractionally higher all around, rather a result of tmidity of the bears than from any actual demand for stocks. The bank statement shows that last weeks violent changes were due to the practical closing up of operations for the government loan and this weeks variations are small. The new bonds will themselves be available to the banks as security for deposit of future installments. of payments to the govern- ment for account of the loan. It was the scarcity of bonds forthis purpose that made necessary fast month 8 heavy withdrawals of government deposits.

rom New York this season for crop pur- poses very widely.
 |. IS conceded, however, that the demand win De lght. One year ago this week. the interior exchange broke sharply and money began to How west two weeks later. This season there has been nothing to indicate such movement. On the contrary the trend of money is in the other direction. Even now nothing but the congested state of the market and the depression of rates averts gold imports. Any appreciable ad- vance in rates is bound to depress foreign exchange to the import trade but a heavy demand from the west which is at present lacking, seems to be the only channel which will carry money to a firmer level

Birmingham, July 3O.-The absence of Liverpool market caused narrowness here with the opening and close virtually the same and fluctuations less than F cent on the day. Worlds wheat shipments indls cate 4S00,000 bushels Continued good weather and liberal movement of new wheat causes the bears to predict still lower prices, but any sudden change in situation will cause covering and subse- duent advance Corn rallied slightly near the close on small covering. The weather conditions are still favorable and the bears argue lower prices. Weather condition will control the market for some time to come.
