NEW YORK STOCK MARKET DULE.

New York, July 16.-The Changers and
Pacific Southwestern led an opening ad-
vance in prices, which was quite general.
The first sale of United States Steel
was of $4,000 shares at simultaneous
prices of 1871 to 3Sss, compared with 3Sas
last night. North American rose TX.
When Rock Island and Wabash pfd.
declined a point everything else was at
fected to a slight extent Large buying
orders then appeared for the corn car
rying roads and they rose rapidly under
the lead of Atchison, which sold at TN,
an improvement of 25s. ST. Pauls were
up and were 2 and 21a points higher.
Good demand in active stocks benefited
them 2 and 2h.
The purchasing movement slackened
and the market became very dull. Room
traders were disposed to realize on yes
terdays purchases and the general de-
mand was not sufficient to absorb the Of
ferings.
