STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 31.-There was no in
dication this morning Of any awakening
from the lethgaric state in which the
stock market has been during the whole
of this week. A spasmodic dip was eff
fected in the stocks of the United States
Steel Corporation at the opening on the
failure of the Amalgamated Association
to agree upon terms for settling the strike
at their session yesterday. The whole
market opened down in sympathy under
the attack of he professional traders. But
the subsequent action of the market
demonstrated it's professional character.
The opening dip, following yesterdays de-
cline, represented the extent to which
small traders were willing to commit
themselves. and they, commenced to buy
to cover short contracts and take their
rroihs, If. POSSIBLE. In the absence of
any important interest sin. the market

The policy of what are called the larger
interests, pending the development of new
factors, including the settlement of the

defined by the indications. !: BY buying

which were taken purely for supporting

thus left fallow, except for the efforts OF

tors, whose attempts to move prices are
of small efficacy. They secure no follow

as the result of dividend and interest dis

most important is the dividend on United
