The STOCK MARKET WAS Dull
FEW STOCKS, HOWEVER, SHOWED
SOME STRENGTH.
Consolidated Gas and American To-
baccO Forged Upward and Closed
at the Top.

| New York. August 9.--There was not much
In the stock market today. The market sold
off at the opening on realizing and the
heavy tone impaired was by Sympathy with
London. Sales of securities for London ac-
count continued on moderate scale. The
money rate dropped fraction today and
sterling exchange in Paris advanced. but in
Berlin declined
There is renewal of anxiety over the
Transvaal question. which has its effect on
foreign stock markets and n factor in
the reflected early depression here. But the
local market resisted this downward ten
dency, and was inclined to move inward be-
fore the end of the first hour under the lead
of Sugar and in sympathy with an additional
rise in the Minneapolis and St. Louis stock.
Consolidated Gas was strong and American
Tobacco forged upward again, its gain reach
ing nearly 3 points, and holding well near the
top. Sugar weakened before the day was
over, but there were enough individual stocks
showing strength to maintain a pretty hrm
tone Notwithstanding the intense dullness- for
the rest of the day.
Atchison preferred advanced strongly in the
late dealings The call money rate was
easier today under the influence OF offerings
from out OF town sources. Chicago. Duluth.
Minneapolis and st. Paul were said to be
lending money here and expressed the opinion
from financial authorities in Chicago as to
the plentitude of money there, had an assur
ing effect. While Chicago is buying COM
merca paper in New York, country banks
throughout the West are said to be buying
paper in Chicago. The rates for time loans
and commercial paper is firmly held. A
hardening of fraction in the rate of sterling
exchange was significant reflection of the
lessened anxiety over the money outlook
Exchange has recently been tending persist
entity downward Notwithstanding the dear
ness of money in London on account Of the
tension here. Gold-imports have up to today
seemed the only resource against nisney
stringency here in case of large demands
from the interior for moving crops. Today's
movement of sterling exchange was. there
fore, highly important as indicating the
easier condition here The presentation of
drafts on the New York subtreasurv in pay
ment for the gold deposited at the San Fran
cisco mint Is expected to be an important
factor in relieving the local money market.
Kansas City Pittsburg and Gulf frsts

action of 29s in the stock The market other
wise was dull and irregular. Total sales. par
