STOCK MARKET DULL
AND REACTI0NARY.
CLOSED. IN MOST INSTANCES,
AT SUBSTANTIAL DECLINE.
Unsatisfactory Strike News and
Neglect of Railroad Stocks the
Dominant Bear Influences.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Aug. 1.-THE stock market
was dull and reactionary throughout the
day, closing. i'm most instances. at a sub
news and a tendency to sag from neglect in
the railroad stocks. without any pressure
more than that of incidental traders sales.
The bank statement was rather unsatisfac-
tory. but presented little feature of interest
in any detail.
None of the interests particularly iden-
titled with special securities appear TO deem
the present time propitious for undertaking
a bull campaign in their stocks, and, in
fact, the general market movements re-
suited almost entirely from the ventures
of the professional element in and out Of
the board room.
London sent in a lower range Of prices
of the American stocks to-day, but the
dealings here for foreign account were of
inconsiderable volume. There were no sig
nificant exceptions to the general drift
Of prices.
st. Paul was particularly weak on the in
tlmations that II was not the intention of
the management to advance the rate of divi-
dend at the September declaration period,
but there is still a wide divergence of opin-
o.. Norfolk and Western, the Erie issues
and other notably firm features Of the
weeks stock market were all reactionary.
In the industrial quarter. the bulk of the
transactions were furnished by the United
States Steel stocks ard Sugar Refining.
Copper. Consolidated Gas and the other of
the specialties were likewise heavy, and the
local traction stocks moved in line with the
remainder of the market.
Nothing of novelty of a financial nature
was presented for consideration at the OPEN
velopments were unimportant in quality and
quantity.
