SLIGHT CHANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Conspicuous Absence of Late
 Enormous Demand SOUTHERN ROADS STRONG They and the Gould Southwestern Lines Were the Main Stays-The Bond Market Was Moderately
 Active and irregular.

New York. July 19.-The character or koday's stock market was much the same as that of yesterday, but there was conspicuous absence of the late enormous demand which lifted Union Pacific yester- day in the closing dealings. The Voiu'he of transactions was rather larger than yesterday, but the market was nevertne- less highly professional. Much hquiaa- ton had to be absorbed by those who had set themselves the task or support ing the market and the buying seeneu to be too heavy to carry. Prices prohe through support in the late dealings and the market closed weak at the lowest or the day. Even those stocks which hao show strength during the day had very little left to show in the way of gains and the stocks which were conspicuous for strength yesterday were conspicuous ly weak. The stocks selected as props for the market today seemed to be prin- cipally amongst the Southern railways and the Gould Southwesterns. Included with the latter were Western Union ana Manhattan. Texas and Pacific was at one time three points over last night ana there was large buying In Missouri ra- cific United States Steel stocks seemed to be well under control by insiders and they were marked up sharply over point each during the period of strength in the market. The sustaining force of these advances, however; was steadily tahei advantage of to realize in the ra1iroao list. Union Pacific, St. Paul and Atchi- son were the most conspicuous objects or the selling. Southern Pacific at one time broke away from the group and was marked up to 59A apparently m pursu- ance of the design of supporting the mar ket for realizing purposes. The oeVice proved only moderately successful as oio others of the same character. In the late vacation the decline in St. Paul extended to 5ss. Union Pacific to 5is, Atchison to 8N. Missouri Pacific to 3h, and Southern Pacific to 3ss. by the renewed fears of disaster 10 Nne corn crop, the same motive being at Work in the corn market The selling for west CT naccount was unusually large and was attributed to important interests The selling for London accounts was another important factor in the days market IL was most conspicuous in the United States Steel stocks, but extended besides to others of the international ilsteu stochs. The days total sales for that account were estimated at as high as 100000 shares This development was factor in the firmness of sterling exchange in New York and the easier tone of money m London. The seeming disinclination to continue the support of the market by the group of capitalists to whom spectators have been looking for that purpose em- phaszed today's position to sell The <, weeks movement of money to and from the interior gives promise of strong bank statement. The weeks large dis bursements of pensions, payments on ac- counts of gold deposited with the govern ment on other accounts has resulted in gain from the sub-treasury of SS,72O,OOO The changes in the loan item are slightly problematical, the liquidation early In the week possibly having been offset by the measures to support the market.
 The bond market was moderately active and irregular Total sales, par value, $2,- 5OO,O0O. United States bonds were un- changed on the last call.
