FURTHER LIGHT AWAITED.
Speculative Interest in Stocks Appar'
emily Declining.
RESULT OF DROUTH NOT ESTABLISHED
Late Period Of Speculation Has Largely
Spent Its Force and Sort of
Lstlessness Prevails.

New York. July 25-The upward reac-
tlon In stocks this morning marked an
other phase In the speculation. Such Inter
mlttent movements from day to day are a
familiar incident of periods when specua-
tive factors have largely spent their force
and no new ones OF Importance are In
sight to take their place. IL does not
necessarily follow that there are not large
speculative commitments stlll existing in
the market. Some further light Is evil
IDENTIFY awaited on the actual results TO
the crops Of the period Of droura in the
West, which has formed, together with
the steel strike, the basis of the recent
speculation for the fall.
Declining activity and lessenlng cacula.
dions are the natural accompanlments of
such period. 1t is to be assumed that a
short interest exists i'm the market Us II
consequence Of the recent downward course
OF prices and consequently the absence
OF any unfavor0ble developments by he
getting an easy frame Of mind In the shorts
keep the undertone OF the market firm.
There IL an additional consideration that

carriers, the anthracite group and some
Of the roads In the Southern region were
prominent in the leadership OF this move
mcnt and helped to hold n dull market
iirm through the middle portion of the
session.
The announcement of the engagement at
the treasury office of $4,000 in gold, sent
prices downward again, but not to tine
lowest The gold Is supposedly for ex-
port, although the destination Is not an

the supply created by large foreign buy

mand for gold exists abroad which can

low the normal gold export point The
market became So nearly stagnant at the
decline that the courage of the bulls WIS
revived and they marked up prices again.
