NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 25.-The stock market
continued we'll nigh Ifeless to-day only a few
stocks showing any movement of price worthy
of note. The movement was so narrow and
sluggish that ii difficult at times to dis
tingush the tendency OF prices: Rock Island
showed an opening gain of u. while St. Paul
opened down 4. St Paul not Influenced
at all by the statement of earnings in the
third week, which again broke all previous
records The market heavy all day and
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 price
about a point above last nights level The
Southwesterns rose at the same time over a
point each. Iowa Central also continued TO ad
vance. There was period of midday strength
in the Pressed Steel Car stocks. which rose
3l4 and 2l2 respectively. a simultaneous move
ment apparently sympathetic, affected Ma
tional Steel and Tennessee Coal and Tin Plate,
and later the American Hoop stock rose 2I1
and IA respectively. None of these gains was
fully held and on the other hand American
Smelling and Colorado Fuel showed sharp de-
Clines General Electric advanced to
1244, but reacted a point. The serious aspect
at Cleveland of the street car strike had rather
a depressing effect on the market The day S
