LONDON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, July ls-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says: The stock
markets here were stagnant to-day, except for
Grand Trunk. which steadily sold by weak
bulls and by some bears. 1t is believed that
when the present weak holders are cleared out
a sharp reaction may follow.
At present the weakness in Grand Trunk Is
assisted by the dizziness in Americans, which
were absolutely neglected to-day. The weak
ness in Grand Trunk is not surprising consid-
ering the falling off in traffic returns and the
continuance of the rate war.
The New York demand for bonds continues
