EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 2o.-To-day's stock market
continued narrow and professional, but there
was an improvement in the tone Of speculation
In the late market a rather active buying
movement set in and prices rose to the top
level of the day gaining point or over
compared with last nights price in many cases.
There was an early reaction. which was en-
Couraged by the violent slump of % points in
New York Air Brake and an extreme decline of
! points IN Consol sated Gas. There seemed 70
be an entire absence of commission house buy
ing. and London, although prices Of American
had been advanced there, retralned from opeT-
ating here. The course of the foreign eX-
change market with reference to easier money
conditions abroad was closely watched, and
when sight sterling and cables were seen to be
yielding 1t afforded considerable relief from
apprehension OF gold exports. The fact that
the Bank Of England RETAINED from advancing
its rate OF discount. taken as evidence that
the threatened money stringency is about over
there. Money worked easier in New York, but
continued above the rates prevailing at interior
points There was some growth Of a cony-iC-
ton that money not become cheap for
a considerable period Yet owing to the needs
of the very active trade and the coming move
banking deposits at some Of the large financial
centers Of the country are now understood 70
be due TO the great combinations OF industries
ana the resulting readJustments in business
methods which have, il is believed, reduced
resources at some smaller points in a degree
corresponding 10 the increase at the great cen
tiers. There continued uneasiness
also over evidences Of unrest among wage earn
ers. The strength Of the local traction stocks
helped to dissipate this selling. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and Manhattan gained about a
point net and cash sales Of Metropolitan were
made at 3at over last night. This stock also
sold eX-rights of subscription to stock at
q uniform level OF Is points below the cash
sales. Consolidated Gas recovered all Of its
earlier loss and New York Air Brake all but .
