 NEW YORK, July 26.-R. G.

Exceptional activity is noticed at the mills not affected by the strike and the movement of structural material for hridegs. buildings and track elevation is still heavy. Steel bars for agricultural implement makers are firm in price and freely purchased Railroads seek freight cars and rails are sold for delivery next January Cotton ties, sheets and hoops are commanding a premium.

Orders for tin plates were not accepted for delivery before october l, when the strike began, owing to the over sold condition of mills and distant con tracts are still taken a unchanged prices, but jobbers are securing high prices Tor goods deliverable immediately.

 Supplies of heavy weight goods have been reduced to satisfactory paint and the situation in all branches of the .nduS- try is such as to engender confidence.

WALL STREET REVIEW
NO CHANGE IN SPECULATIVE
 CONDITIONS.
The Dullness hnd sluggishness of the Market is Unrelieved-Ef- fort Made to Inaugurate
 Upward Movement.

NEW YORK, July 2e.-There was no in- dication of any change in speculative con- ditions when the stock market opened this morning. The duilness and sluggish ness were unrelieved. An effort was made to inaugurate an upward movement, based on show of strength in the United States steel stocks. which were marked up something over point each way. The demand was attributed to the London ac- count and was said to be due to the re- port there that the dispute underlying the strike was in course of adjustment. This report could not be confirmed in New eral list. therefore, proved abortive and was checked before it had proceeded as far even as yesterdays movement. The hardening tendency of the London market future course of that money center has an important bearing on the future of speculation here. The continuance of de- posits at the sub-treasury for transfer to the interior shows the illusiveness of hopes indulged in by some spectators that the interior demand upon New York for currency to move the crops will ee missing this year, owing conjointly to the large reserves held at this time by in- terior banks. Much interest attaches to the further consideration whether foreign money centres will be able to spare gold If 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. Yes terday's Bank of England statement. showing a percentage of reserve lifted to above 50. was supplemented today by the Imperial Bank of Germanys state ment showing substantially recuperation of the already strong position of that in stitution The Bank of France holds a large reserve of gold, but industrial conditions in Germany and Russia are such as to necessitate extraordinary strength in banking reserves rise in the London money rate would be another deterrent influence upon any movement of fsgold to New York It Is to be remem- bred that since the outbreak of the South African war and cutting off of the gold supply from the mines, the nor nal autumn flow of gold from London to New York has been cut off. with conse- quent stringency of money in New York. Relief in New York from that source this fall is therefore problematical, notwith- standing the present strength of foreign banks. Today's market was practically stagnant for long intervals and It's only important feature was the firmness Of the United States Steel stocks. which was fairly we'll maintained to the close, though at some recession to the top price.
 The railroad bond market was dull and sluggish as that of stocks. Total sales. $sT0000. United States refunding 2s and new 4s advanced A on the last call.
