 New York, Aug 2,-The futility of the efforts made this week to awaken any interest in the stock market or to effect a movement of prices that offered any change for attractive profits Of traders resulted in a very small attend ance this morning, The market, as consequence was almost stagnant. There was no evidence fo the existence of stop loss selling orders on the one hand, or of supporting orders on the other. Accordingly the professionals found their limited operations quite ef- fecting in moving prices. market or this character is designated by the brokers as trading jack knives To- days report of sub treasury operations shows that the government institution took from the money market yesterday $4O0, ,000 in spite of the fact tha checks were payable on the first of the month for the government interest due. There i, usually some delay about the pre- seuiation of these checks, but bal ance in favor of the sub treasury on an interest payment day is unusual. To-morrow's bank statement was not under discussion in to-days specula tion. Indications point to an unimpor- tapt change in the cash reserves but the change in the loan item Is likely to be affected by the payment of some heavy syndicate subscriptions, which came due on August 1. The meaere trading centered about the renewed fears of crop damage suggested by the strength in the corn market and the proposed construction of sugar re- finery in opposition to the American Sugar company An appearance of considerable weakness was thus in- duced at one time during the day, but the closing up of contracts brought prices back sharply towards last nights level Sugar failed to hold it's rally and the market closed heavy. The United States Steel stocks were less active than for some time past and failed to show the effect of the reports of disagreement over the steel strike The common was at one time down over a point but both closed with frac- tional net gains
 The railroad bond market was barren of any feature. Total sales par value $1, ,255000,
