LONDON. July 3.-Trading was lifeless

Business on this market has been decid-

Yesterdays stock market was a sum
mer affair of the most pronounced char
aCteT. Business was even less than on
tuesday. and with the exception of the
Steel securities it is probable that the
amount of business transacted was as
small as in any day in recent years. The
hot weather. the coming Of the long hoii-
day, the disappointment over the Steel
dividends. the money situation, and few
other matters all helped to keep people
out OF the market and their combined
effect was disastrous. The tendency of
prices was downward, but there was not
even enough energy to make decline OF
any Importance. The Steel stocks went
Oft badly, but the balance Of the list lost
fractions only. Business was coEiined to
evening up accounts. both the bulls and
the bears seeming anxious not to have
contracts open over until next Monday
when so much is possible in the way of
news. The owners of stocks, however,
seemed a triie more willing to let go
their holdings, even with small losses, as
the developments on the whole are more
likely TO be unpleasant than good In
the Steel securities especially the realiz-
ing was heavy during the entire after
noon.

Yesterdays session on the local stock
exchange was signalized by another burst
of activity in Lanston stock and another
squirt in its price Of 81 a share to 10.
Something like 800 shares of the stock
changed hands and the price went up
from 1Hs to 10 even. closing at the top
quotation The buying was nearly all by
one party. the same that bought the large
block of the stock a week or more ago,
and advanced the price in the same way.
This second large purchase by this party,
making a total of something like 1850
shares in two weeks, was the subject or
much comment in + Street, but no new
theories were advanced regarding the
matter II seems probable however that
the purchase was for insiders, whatever
this may Indicate Ii also seems not un-
likely that the stock will be advanced TO
q higher level yet before many weeks
have passed. The recurring busy days IL
