resulted in an advance Of hc in Septem-
Der wheat. September corn closed bc
lower. oats were. nc lower, while pro-
visions lost fifteen to fifty cents.
Wheat opened firm on higher cables
due to further reports of French crop
damage, but trade was light and fuctu-
atoms were confined within a narrow
range. Most OF the buying was for To-
cal shorts who were evening up owe
the holiday. Continued favorable ac-
count of winter wheat harvest were the
chief hinderanees to any pronounced
bullishness. September opened a shade

The extreme dullness in all depart
ments continued and the roo early
began to show signs that brokers had
left town. The Steel dividend entirely
failed TO stimulate any interest, and
the tendency generally. where there
was any move at all, was for prices
to sag under neglect. Philadelphia
houses were very fair buyers of the
Reading issues during the morning on
the settlement OF the labor trouble and
the generally hopeful prospect for the
hard coal stocks. Insiders were mod
crate buyers of New York Central and
bGllish on the stock. although there
was no confirmation forthcoming for
the rumors of the issues of new stock

that this would be one OF h factors

NEW YORK, July S.-To-day's stock
market was little more than nominal.
The volume of business was SO small
that had there been a wide price move
ment little significance could nave at
tached TO the fact. The subject OF
most vital interest on the exchange
was whether II would be possible to get
together a quorum OF the governors TO
achieve the longed-for adjournment or
the exchange over To Monday nexl.
When this was accomplished IL was
greeted with cheers all through the
Wall street district, and there was an
immediate hegira of members OF the
board. Only those who were compelled
to stay to close up contracts remained
in the board room. The leader in such
market as there was was United States
Steel. That stock reflected clearly
enough the disappointment of holders
over the dividend. or, rather. over the
wording of the dividend declaration.
The omission Of the word quarterly in
connection with the l per cent divi-
deLd on the common stock was alleged
to throw doubt on the continuity of the
dividend rate thus established. The ar
guments OF the friends OF h stock
that room was thus left to increase the
rate as we'll as to decrease IL did not
reassure the spectators, and they sold
the stock freely. The preferred suf-
fered even more markedly, defining so
from the top level. The common fell
Ia from the best. Both stocks seemed
to be without aggressive support. The
effort OF belated borrowers to secure
loans to carry oyer the four-day inter
val until Monday caused a lively furry
in money. AS high as 20 per cent was
paid for call loans, and considerable
liquidation was precipitated.

following is from a very high authority:
1T can be stated without the slightest

NEW YORK, July a p. m.-With
the announcement that the board OF
the stock exchange had voted to close
from July 9 till the 8th ii became evil
dent the market would simply be a
matter of evening up OF accounts over
the prolonged holiday. News OF the
day limited, crop reports in a general
sense being more favorable to-day on
account OF rain being reported in dill
ferent sections of the country, al
though Kansas still seems to be suffer
ing from want of rain. All grangers
are only slightly affected. owing to the
fact that the hot weather at this time
Is not necessarily hurtful to the grow
ing corn crop, except it should be pro-
longed too much. Wheat crop reports
generally favorable.
Dealings all through the list were
extremely small, and only late in the
afternoon was there some selling
owing to higher rates for call money
and particularly under the influence OF
a weakness that made Itself felt in the
steel issues. These were really the only
active stocks during the day. and trad
ing in them on a comparatively large
scale. due to the declaration OF divi-
dends late yesterday afternoon. The
street apparently accepted announce
ment of l per cent on common stock
in a disappointed mood. The preferred
stock. although being placed on a reg
ular Z per cent basis, also sold off at
the close. Withal it is generally said
and believed that a 4 per cent annual
dividend at least will be the rate on
common stock. and that the non-men-
tioning of this fact on the part of the
officials of the company is simply a bit
of conservatism.

The capitalization OF companies form
ed during the month with less than a
million dollars stock each can be esti-
mated at around 500 So per cent of the
above total. or say, about $50, 000, 900.
A distinct feature OF the current list
is the appearance of several important
consultations usually designated 40
"tndustrials," more than $3.50, 000, 900 OF
the total being contributed by Ave con-
Germs of this class. These are the
United States Cotton Duck Corporation.
which has taken a charter under New
Jersey laws, with $4,000, 900 authorized
capital. the Consolidated Tobacco Com
pany. With $4,000 600 capital. and a de-
benture bond issue which will probably
exceed $3.50, 0o0. 900; the United Cotton
OIL Company sl2, 900, 600, and Fairmont
Coal Company and the West Virginia
$4,000, 900, and the American Locomo-
tive Company, with SOC, 900 900. The
last named is organized under a New
York State charter, and in this me
ton 1t is OF interest to note that the
new incorporation law has already ap-
parently borne fruit, the total OF New
York charters for the month being the
largest for a long time.
II may be noted that the Fairmont
Coal Company is the largest concern
ever chartered In the State of West Vir-
ginia. the laws Of which State until re-
Gently did not perimt a corporation to
have a capital stock exceeding s., 000.-

NEW YORK. July 3.-The London
market for American was good. with a
firm one and a tendency of prices to
stifTen.
The local market was dull, many
stocks not being traded in. The ad-
vance in money rates to 20 per cent,
with other collateral influences, had a
dropping influence. which was notice
able in a good portion of the list, and
particularly in the steels. which sagged
off materially, principally because of the
strike situation, although high money
and the dates fixed for dividend pay
ments were undoubtedly elements.
The exchanges viii be closed until 10
O'Clock Monday and meantime there
may be altered conditions. In some we'll
informed quarters there is a disposition
to believe that steels will make a
prompt recovery, as the dividend de-
clared is satisfactory and up to expec-
%tations, and the sanguine are of the
opinion hat the strike trouble viii not
be allowed to seriously embarrass the
earning power of the big corporation.
Sale. for the week by days:
