TEsTERDAT,s STOCK MARKEI:
Absorption Effected Without Serious
 Impairment of Prices.

Impairment of Prices.
 New York, July S1-To-day's stock market had to face the ordeal of profit taking on last weeks advance, which is an almost inevitable process on a Monday after a preceding rise in prices. The action of the market while the process of digestion was going on was encouraging, a considerable ab- sorption being effected without ser1- ous impairment of prices. Orders from commission houses were thought to disclose an appreciable awakening Of interest form new outside sources. This was what was hoped for as Q consequence of the attractive rise in prices which occurred at the end of last week. But after the period of profit taking of the morning had pass ed, the trading became dull and inter- est in the speculation appeared lan- guid. There was nothing, in the day s news to affect the market Immediately either way, and the working out on normal lines of previous steps in the speculation was relied upon to move prices. Stocks that did not move wide ly were ins the less important depart ment industrial specialties making the largest showing. Industrials having to do with the metal trades either as pro- ducers or consumers of iron, steel, cop per, lead, etc., moved in fair accord, the United States Steel stocks being the noted exception. The railroad equipment stocks and the electrical companies were included Published reports of active conditions in these trades and an advance in the market price of copper are held to account for this movement. The fact that the ad- yaDces did not prevent the prices of railroad stocks from sagging was att tributed partly to the profit taking in progress ill those stocks. There was also some depression caused by the re- ViVal of black rust damage reports from the spring wheat belt by authOri- ties deemed conservative. The devel- opment of dangerous conditions to ei- ther spring wheat or corn undoubted- ly would greatly change the present basis of stock market reckoning, and the action of granger stocks to-day was evidence of the sensitiveness of speculative opinion on the subject. Consideration of the yellow fever out break perhaps had more force also to- day than was the case last week. Del aware, Lackawanna & Western lifted its record price to 425 1-2 as an incident of the day. Reports that Japan was withdrawing funds from London at tracted interest, owing to the large sums now on deposit in New York to Japan's credit and the irnminence of the requirements for crop moving pur- poses. The money market remained nominally very easy, however. There was enough improvement in prices late in the day to overcome most of what had been yielded and the closing tone was firm.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value, $2,762, ,00O
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

NEW YORK CHOIR BOYS

To Visit Sunset Beach for a Week.
 Monday evening, Aug. II. the choir boys of St. Barnabas on the Hudson, who will spend that week at Sunset Beach, will give concert in Pythian hall, under the direction of Mir. Harry Woodstock. Remembrance of their fine work last summer results in the pleasant assurance that this will be a musical treat.

Strong, Also the U. S. SteeIs-Sugar
 and Smelling Were LiveIy-Easy
 Money Prospects-COppers Strong.
 Speculation for the time worked into some of the industrials yesterday and smelting common rose or points. Sugar advanced; also likewise Westing- house.
 Where stocks had had a good rise re- gently the tendency was to slip back. Union Pacific, however, after slipping back little got active and closed strong.
 Lackawanna is now selling 246 points above last years low price, and North ern Pacific S2 points.
 The speculative imagination was im- pressed by the spectacular work in Lackawanna and other stocks. Not every stock on the list, however, is g. Lackawannan, or is to enter the gilt edged" list right away.
 Stock market conditions are certainly very favorable, but then stocks cannot keep going on up forever. Some day this truism will be dearly discernable.
 Black rust stories were trotted out again yesterday; also reports of unfav- orable crop weather in the northwest. After slight recession the market grew strong and closed so.
 Reports as to railroad traffic in the west were certainly good and indicative of very handsome gains for the rail- roads.
 Advices from New Orleans as to the yellow fever were not reassuring yet southern stocks held well, being prob ably supported.
 The activity in Colorado Southern WAS based on the old report of a deal wit hthe Rock Island.
 The positive announcement of John Mitchell that there would be no coal strike was reflected in higher prices in the anthracite shares.
 Analgamated Copper, including the dividend, sold equivalent to about S6, which is the best price realized in some time. The movement is being carried along by Boston houses, who find in an advance in Amalgamated an incen- tive to put up all other copper shares. More legitimate material was another small advance ill the price of refined copper to a 15 1-2 cent basis.
 The belief is maintained that money will remain easy this month.
 The gain in such shares as National Enamelling, Soo common and preferred, Duluth South Shore and Atlantic, Pittsburg Coal and Pressed Stee ldid not carry much weight
 Sentiment in Wall street was general ly bullish, this feeling being encouraged bys the comparative ease with which standard issues hold up, notwithstand- ing the considerable liquidation which is going on all the time.
 The shares of the New York, New Haven and Hartford road sold at POP yesterday, a falling off of one-half point from previous sales.
 Canadian Pacific and Soo common sold at new high records. Soo preferred is still under it's previous high price of 169 1-2
 On Lackawanna last year 17 per cent. was paid on the stock, 10 per cent. of this being an extra dividend The stock is now on a 10 per cent regular basis Assuming that another extra payment is made, bringing the total for 1905 up to- the same amount as last year, a price of 424 would yield almost exactly per cent. on the purchase figure. This is regarded as a very good yield on gilt edged shares. In the last two fiscal years the company averaged consider ably more than II per cent.

test instituted by Mr.. Peabody. Four
teen Republican members of the COM
mittee signed a report in favor of
throwing out the returns of 104 Denver
precincts and twenty-eight precincts in
other counties, and declaring that Pea
body was legally elected, but six of
these mem bers announced that they re-
served the right to vote otherwise in
joint convention, and one of them (Sen-
ator AleXander) presented another re-
port in favor of declaring a vacancy in
the office of governor. to be filled under
the constitution by the lieutenant gov
ernor.
The other four Republican members
reported in favor of dismissing the con-
test and placed Adams minimum plu-
rality at 3,S19, after giving the con-
testor the benefit of every doubt. The
nine Democratic committeeman sub
mitted a report showing that if all
votes challenged by experts were re-
jected Adams would still have 2,76C
plurality.
