These Are Closing Sales
Each Day.

New York, July 1O.-The stock market
was rather dull to-day, but compared with
yesterdays emi-stagnation it had an APP
pearance OF considerable animation. The
large increases in the prices OF stocks
which. resulted from the comparatively
small dealings are striking evidence OF
the small floating supply of stocks now

The railroad stocks were especially well

dealt in showed considerable lenghtcn-

violent decline ana heavy liquidation In
Brooklyn Transit was in itself n motive
for advancing prices on the part OF the

TO see tho impossibilty demonstrated OF
movement in one direction to start u
movement in another direction.
The conviction that the monthly crop
report would show II material improve
ment in tho conditions not only in the
spring wheat belt. but in those portions
of the winter wheat belt which had suf-
fered from too much rain, played IL large
part In the days advance. and large short
lines were covered In the stocks of all
the grain-carrying roads. The vocferous
alarm over the corn crop protested by
some of the crop experts was evidently
viewed with sccpticism by Wall Street.
and the corn-carrying Changers shared in
tho general strength.
The widely disseminated reports of an
open competition between the great steel
companies was subject of rather
QuiZztcal Indifference on the part OF the
professional operators, as was testified by
the late advance in the Steel stocks.
Tho more cheerful tone III the foreign
market. In response to the better news
from China, had n larger influence in this
market than news from that source has
had previously. The better tone in Ber-
lin was especially marked, and doubtless
