New York, July 8.-The market to-day
must still be described as dull. though the
volume OF transactions somewhat exceed
ed that of yesterday. There was still no
marked evidence of outside interest and
the list was by no means a broad one
though many recently inactive stocks were
brought forward into the active list There
was, however, steady and quiet absOrp-
ton of the standard railroad stocks with
out ostentatous effort 10 advance prices.
The coalers were an exception to the
strength from the start on the general de
preston known to exist in the anthracite
district, and prospects of a conflict Of
rates. In the final hour the bears re-
turned the Coalers with the purpose Of
unsettling the advancing tendency in the
market.
Prices in the group crumbled away with
out much resistance. This formidable
break in prices had little effect in the
half and part of this was recovered be-
fore the close, which was remarkably firm
in the face of the slump in Coalers.
There was quite an urgent demand in
this market for London account, which
had no small part in advancing
prices. Confidence is growing that the
country VIII show a large yield of wheat
and that the world viii need our supply.
The New York banks have been losing
money to the sub-tTeasury this week on

York banks also, to provide funds for bond
subscriptions.

the bonds of the Fulton and Kings county
elevated railroads the formers first mort
cages rising 10 per cent. and the latter
212 per cent. There was good business
done in railroad bonds at higher prices
