Railroad bonds easier.

Stocks-The stock market continued
very dull and professional to-day, but
the field of activity broadened out
somewhat so as to include more stocks
than in tn dealings during the latter
part of last week. The added life to
the trading was on the selling side,
and inroads were made upon values at
points that have held remarkably firm
up to this time. Sugar and Brooklyn
Transit were the leaders in point of ac-
tivity and weakness, but a number of
other specialties came forward into a
fair degree of prominence. 1t was still
a market of specialties, and railroads
were relatively in the background. But
there was some addition to the atten-
ton paid to them also. Dealings were
not widely distributed in the railroad
list, the pressure against the few ac-
tive stocks in that department appar-
emily net affecting the firm undertone
Of the railroad deartment as a whole.
The grangers were most affected and
Burlington was the leader of the de-
preston with fall of IL and prac-
tically no recovery. st. Paul fell a
point and the decrease in net earnings
for June of S155, 1904, compared with
the corresponding period Of last year,
was the effective cause of the heavi
ness in that stock and in the group.
Pennsylvania was a point of weakness
in sympathy with London and was
sold down rs. The market was not
much influenced at the opening by the
assassination of the king of Italy and
the serious conditions in China. This
dino m ho nj flat re
had oeen offset in the London marnet
by the reported surrender Of a large
detachment of Beers to the British
commander. The depression in Sugar
was in evidence from the outset and
was apparently to a general shifting
of the professional attitude towards
the stock. There were reports of a
pending strike, which were denied by
reports of the company and reports of
approaching competition by European
refined sugars, invited by the present
high level Of prices, American Tobac-
co was affected by profit taking. at
tracted by the recent considerable rise
Brooklyn Transit was under renewed
pressure and fell back to near last
weeks low price, carrying the other To-
cal traction stocks with it. The steel
group dropped under the unsatisfac-
tory outcome of the Chicago confer
ence, designed TO restrict production.
Tennessee Coal was active and weak,
falling an extreme points. The
stock rallied point. Besides these
points OF weakness in special stocks,
speculative sentiment is disturbed by
the uncertainty regarding the money
outlook, the growing likelihood of con-
siderable decreases in net earnings of
railroads and awakened apprehension
regarding the crops, Sterling exchange
fell fraction further to-day, raising
doubt whether gold is likely to go out
this week. The tone of the money
market remains unchanged and opin-
ions regarding the future events there
are good deal mixed
The bond market was dull and prices
were inclined to go lower
u. S. bonds were unchanged at the
last call on the exchange.
