NEW YORK, July H.-No significance
can be attached to the sluggish and in
constant movement of prices in today's
dun and narrow market. A favora ple
bank statement was generally expected
and board room traders attempted to ad-
vance prices on the prospect. No serious
selling pressure was met on the small
advances. But there was no followup
to the movement and the traders operated
only with the utmost caution, amount
ing to timidity.
When they attempted to realize profits
on early sales before the close they
found the market as bare of real absorp-
tive power as it was of selling pressure
A condition of profound neglect was dis
closed The taking of profits left prices
close to the level at which they left off
last night
The bank sta atement showed restora ton
of rather more than last weeks loss in
the surplus item. The $4,345000 loan con-
traction was attributed to the weak stock
market lquida tion and the excess in the
cash gain over the preliminary estimates
was credited to correction of the dis
Crepancy in that item last week.
The weeks repayments of government
deposits are shown to have amounted to
ST. ,4S9SOO exclusive of drafts by interior
banks upon New York accounts for that
purpose. The report from Washington
that siO0OOO0 to S45OOOOO of government
money was being deposited in interior
banks was regarded as promising an
offset to the effect of the current with
