TRADING is DESULToRY
IN LOCAL SECURITIES.
TRACTION ISSUES ARE EASY
ON BIDS.
Missouri Trust Rules Strong and
Bank of Commerce Sells
Lower.

Yesterdays session Of the local Stock Ex-
change was almost too dull to form a basis
for values. In all only sixty-five shares Of
stock and 5000 worth Of bonds were sold.
OF the latter $1,000 worth were United
Railways Is, which were steady at $S0.25.
Missouri Trust was strong spot at $12s, and
Bank of Commerce was easy at $3.50.
Missouri Edison IS were taken at $s7.
There was practically no outside interest
and the little trading done was mainly pro-
fessional.

Watch Yacht Race Bulletins.

New York. Aug. 25LThe semistagna.
ton Of the stock market was unrelieved to-
day and the dealings were In smaller vol
ume than yesterday. There was some re-
vival Of activity toward the last. and the
market closed strong. The majority of the
stocks which made up the great bulk of
the meager trading left of to poinrs
higher than last night. The strong features
were Missouri Pacific. st. Paul. Atchison.
Amalgamated Copper and Tennessee Coal.
There was no news to explain the advan-
cling tendency of the market. and the true
cause seemed to be that the room traders
reached the limit of their ability to depress
prices yesterday, and SO covered their short
contracts. Attention was almost wholly di-
verified to the yacht race throughout tho
day. There was large list OF absent mem
bers. and those on the floor spent their
time watching the bulletins OF the yacht
race. Morning reports from London showed
some disposition to buy American STOCKS
there. and the opening advance here was IN
sympathy.

foreign demand is of special interest In its
