NO OuTsIDE INTEREST.
Dullness In the New York stock Mar
 ket Continues.

keA NOBklnuEAs New York Aug. 2.-The discourage ment of the professional traders over the absense of outside interest in stocks issued in condition of dull ness in the market to-day that border- ed on stagnation. Trading was prac- tically idle at times and the profess sionals finding no satisfaction in scalp ing profits from each other, desisted | from operations. There were no other noticeable operations outside of thls class. London was preparing for hol- iday tomorrow which extends over Monday, so that conditions there were analagous and no assistance for this market was received from that quar- ter. The forecast of the weeks cur- rency movement gave warning of the lunfavorable factors at work in the money situation Yesterdays heavy credit of the balance of the sub-treas- Jury at the clearing house on account of the Central Pacific note payment to the government extended the week s floss of the banks to the government to l$3,S12,O ,OOO.
 The banks report that the currency movement with the interior is still in ltheir favor but the weeks gain from that sourse was probably less than a million dollars.
 Foreign financial critics are count ing on liberal treasury action to re- lieve the New York money market this fall and relieve them from the de- mands which New York may make on them for gold with the tide of our mer- i chandise exports at flood. Foreign ex- change here continued to decline to- day, however, in spite of rather cas- | fer tone in the call loan market, and l firmness in London and Berlin dis counts. The feature in the time loan market is the special urgency of the demand for the six months period which carries over the first. month in 1 the new year. The quoted rate was to IA per cent. on this maturity. The government report of condi- ton of cotton was again disagreeable surprise. The fact that some the cotton carriers advanced on the report was attributed to the likelihood that short sellers in anticipation of the poor reports were buying to cover.
 Copper was lower again both in Lon don and at the New York metal ex- change. Not much was accomplished by the days operations In stocks. The rise of the early part of the day was about all lost at one time and then
