STOCkS WE'RE DULL.
The Movement Was Narrow and
Sluggish in All Departments.

New York, July 25.-The stock market
continued well nigh lifeIess to-day. only
a few stocks showing any movement of
! price worthy of note The movement was
so narrow and sluggish that it was diff
cult a times to distinguish the tendency
OF prices.
Rock Island showed an opening gain of
Y, while st. Paul opened down z. St.
Paul was not influenced at all by the
| statement of earnings in the third week,
which gain broke all previous records.
| The stock was heavy all day and was
the only one of the Granger group which
| hung below last nights level for most
| OF the day. Late in the day there was an
| increased demand for Rock Island, which
| lifted its prices about a point above last
| nights level
The SOuthwesterns rose at the same
| time over point each. Iowa Central also
| continued to advance. There was period
of midday strength in the Pressed Steel
Car stocks, which rose 312 and 212, re-
| spectively
simultaneous movement, apparently
! sympathetic, affected National Steel Fed
eral Steel, Tennessee Coal and Tin Plate
/ and later the American Hoop stocks rose
| 21a and IA, respectively. None of these
/ gains were fully held, and on the other
| hand Smelling and Colorado Fuel showed
| sharp declines General Electric was ad-
! Vanced 10 124A but reacted one point Con
! solidated Gas, the L,nseed Oil stocks, In
| ternational Paper, and National Biscuit,
| showed symptoms of weakness and an
! early gain in Pennsylvania was practi-
cally all lost The money market con-
tinued steady The weekly statement of
the Imperial Bank of Germany reflected
| the process of retrenchment going on in
| foreign financial centers
The banks cash has increased over 49,
100000, while its loans were contracted
nearly $5,000OO0 and It's note circulation
| reduced over $1,000 600 during the week
New York exchange at interior points
in this country reflected an increased de-
mand on this center for funds. The seri-
| Gus aspect at Cleveland of the street car
strike had rather a depressing effect on
the market. To-days business was close
to the lowest level of the year.
The railroad bond market was dun and
irregular, except for a large absorption
of st. Louis Southwestern seconds. Total
sales, $1,10000 United States new As, de-
clined a and the Cd As and IS register
ed Is in the bid price.
