ACTIVITY SUBSIDIZED.
Market Reached Condition Almost Of
Topper, Friday.

New York, Aug. 2.-The distin.
gushing feature of yesterdays stock
market was the marked subsistence of
activity, which has been in progress
all this week, but which reached a
condition almost of torpor today. The
Rock Island announcement plan prob.
ably caused speculation to pause. The
recent brilliant advance in Rock
Island has been an important inf1u-
e1ce on the whole market The de
tails Of the plan, which do not go be-
.ond a redistribution of capital with
out alteration of the property itself,
or of its relations with properties
controlled by other interests, arouse
the question as to what has given the
stock its increased valuation in the
market since the plan was in course
Of formation. Rock Island itself fell
tc level 3% below Thursday night
during the morning. Another dis
bleak in Colorado Fuel, which went
below 90. The public recriminations
between the cOntending parties to the
control give warning of a conflict
which may involve speculative fol-
lowers Of the enc side or the other
tC an uncomfortable extent The fear
IF an unfavorable showing by the
banks in today's statement was an
ether restraining influence upon
speculation. After Rock Island and
Colorado Fuel quoted down and made
some recovery there was an improve
ment in the general market and a few
stocks became strong and helped the
general market. St. Paul, New York
Central. the local fractions, Western
Union and American Smelling were
among these.
