SLUGGISH ANDDUEL
 STOCK TRAD|NG An Effort Made to Buoy Prices
 on U. s. Steel LONDON WAS A FACTOR Today's Market Was Practically Stag nant for Long Intervals and It's Only Feature Was United
 States Steel Stocks.
LONDON WAS A FACTOR

New York, July 26-There was no in- d!cation of change in speculative con ditiops when the stock market opened this morning. The dullness and slug gishness were unrelieved. An effort was mado to inaugurate an upward move- ment based on a show of strength in the United States Steel stocks, which were marKed up something aver a. point each. The demand was attributed to the Lon don account and was said to be due to report there that the dispute undery- ing the strike was in course of adjust ment. This report could not be confirm ed in New York. The upward movement in the general list therefore proved abor- tive and was checked before it had pro- ceeded as far even as yesterdays move- ment.
 Tho hardening tendency of the London ceeded as far as yesterdays moveme-- market was watched with some jealousy as the future course of that money cen ter has an important bearing on the fu- ture of speculation here. The continu- ance of deposits at the subtreasury for transfer to the interior shows the illu- siveness of hopes indulged in by some spectators that the usual interior de- mand upon New York for currency to move the crops will be missing this year owing to conjointly to the short crop of corn and the unusually large reserves held at this storm time by the interior banks. Much interest attaches to the fur ther consideration whether foreign mon eV xuilI ha o1o1 f,, New York makes demands on them when the crop export movement begins. This weeks report of the great banks abroad gives promise that they will. Yesterdays Bank of England statement shows percentage of reserve lifted to above 50 was supplemented by today by the Imperial Bank of Germany state ment showing substantial recuperation of the already strong position of that insti- tuition The Bank of France also holds an un arecedentedly large reserve of gold. But industrial conditions in Germany and Russia are such as to necessitate extra ordinary strength in banking reserves. A rise in the rate would be another de- terrent influence upon any movement of gold to New York. It Is to be remem- bered that since the outbreak of the South African war and cutting off of the gold supply from the mines the normal autumn flow of gold from London to New York has been cut off with consequent stringency of money in New York. Re- lief from that source this fall Is. there fore, probematical, notwithstanding the present strength of foreign banks. To- days market was practically stagnant for long intervals and its only important feature was the firmness of the United States Steel stocks which was fairly welt maintained to the close, though at some recession from the top price.

Cotton Letter.

By Private Wire to Sledge Commission
 Company.
 Birmingham, July 26-The summer months were under marked pressure from longs today, who were prompted to un- load their holdings on account of ex- tremely weak Liverpool cables and the circulation of some forty thousand notices on August, July breaking forty points to 7.25 and August 14 to 710. The new crop positions were unfavorably affected by the weakness in the summer months and by the rains reported in Northern and Central Texas Oklahoma, Indian Ter ritory and Arkansas, breaking six to twelve points in the early trading, with October the chief point of attack, The in- dications were for more rain tonight, but shorts became nervous, fearing a sharp reaction, and prices were bid up to about yesterdays closing level on the new crop options, while July was run back up to 7.48 and August to TIA. The close was nine to seventeen off on the summer months and to on the new.
 The decline was largely manipulative, the drive being made for the purpose of shaking out weak kneed longs and creat- ing a short interest. All the stocks in New York is owned by a small coterie and cotton cannot be bought on a tena- ble basis anywhere in the South It is noteworthy fact that August in New Or leans Is practically 15c over the same op- tion in New York. The new crop posi- tions will continue to be governed by weather conditions.

Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.

There was little or nothing in the news indicating any change in various ques- tions>pow engaging speculative attention Reports from agricultural sections in the West were no more encouraging than they were yesterday, although advices of the so-called Chicago houses continued to set forth a general breaking of drouth in the corn belt.
 No change was perceptible in the status of the strike of the steel workers, but the United States Steel issues were among the most conspicuously strong features of the stock market. It seemed to be the gen. eral opinion that the strike would soon come to a conclusion by reason of ex- haustion of resources of the labor union.. Other strong. stocks were Anthracite Coalers, notable Erie Wabash, Union Pacific. St. Paul and Pennsylvania. Lon don sent in lower range of prices for American stocks and foreign houses had selling orders, but neither circumstance cut any appreciable figure in the local trading. Estimates of another favorable bank statement tomorrow were circulated and were apparently an influence of some weight in the trading.

 1ae & e,o a Cotton Letter to H. D. Goth ran & Go.
 New York. July 26.-Under the depress- ing influence of a break in Liverpool this morning August cotton broke seventeen noints at one time and other months ten to twelve points.
 The decline yesterday and again today was generally looked for, and traders are inclined to think the market may De weak again tomorrow.
 The influence of the uncertainty over August deliveries tomorrow is too much for prices and with some rains in the South and West the market has declined easily.
 There were more rains predicted for to- morrow and this left very little support to prices with those who bought on the decline at the opening took profits at mid day and the majority looked for lower Liverpool tomorrow Trading was active though the conservative element did It, tie.
 A number of very careful operators bought moderately on the afternoon low prices, expecting to buy more on the de- cline in the morning.. While the heavy selling in August has forced that option down to "A cents and the fear of deliv- cries has depressed the whole market The situation is not altogether favorable to short selling.
 Southern spot markets are all over cents, and 1t is commonly reported that the cotton here will most of it be moved out.
 Now that the long interest has been liquidated there is every prospect of mak- ing a good turn in August by a purchase on any further decline. As far as the new crop months are concerned rains has helped the outlook considerably. bat we cannot advise the sale of October or Jan uary for a decline.

THE ENGLISH CABLES WEAK

New York, July 26.-The cotton market started weak in tone with prices un- changed to twelve points lower and was excited and very irregular much ot the session. Throughout the forenoon the room contingent was feverish and fre- quently changed its attitude, being dom mated by confusing movements in the near months. The later options were sen sationally weak, with July down forty points under sheer absence of support of any character, later advancing twenty five points in single jump. The issuance of some 1000 August notices demontrated local holders of the new crop options and a general effort was made to disgorge. This settling with the only demand cover ing by pit shorts, depressed the market nine to forty points was apparent En- glish cables were surprisingly weak, while more rain reports came from the central and western belts. Not until October had dropped to 7.25 and generated to 7.33 was there support of any account developed. This came in midafternoon and continued pretty much to the close. Prices were very sensitive to the change in the order of operations and rapidly advanced. Spec ulation for the day as a whole was the largest in many weeks, estimated by some at 25O.000 to SO0,0OO bales The South bought here freely on the upturn and the West figured as a moderate purchaser of January in the last half hour. The close was steady with prices net two to seven teen points lower.

New Orleans.

Sales $50 bales including 450 to arrive. Quotations reduced 1-16 on all grades.
