New York. July 1S.-AlthOugh the course
Of the stock market to-day was more or
less irregular, there was a disappearance
Of those weaker tendencies which were
chiefly noticeable in the sharp selling
movement which occurred in the last half
hour of business yesterday afternoon, and
in general the undertOne Of the market
was as strong and cheerful, If not more
SO, as it has been at any time in the
recent past. On one or two occasions
it seemed as If efforts were made To
break the market. the attacks being
again directed. as they We're yesterday.
against the industrial stocks. principally
the United States Steel shares.
AT the outset Of the stock market to-
day, prices Of the leading stocks were
variousiy and fractionally above and be-
low their yesterday afternoons closing
figures, but after a brief period of hesita-
ton the market became strong and ad-
vances of between one and two points
In quotations were common before the
noon hour. Dealings then became rela-
lively small in number, and the duIlness
finally provoked a raid upon the United
States Steel and AmaIgamated Copper
shares. But this onslaught did not have a
very pleasant ending for those who con-
Quoted it,
Regular Dividend in AmaIgamated.
Shortly after it started the announce
ment was made that the directors OF the
Amalgamated Copper Company had
placed the quarterly dividend rate Of
their company on q regular per cent
basis, no part of the dividend rate being
extra" as it had been hitherto for a
very long period, and this statement was
followed shortly by the news that very
large sales Of copper had been made at
the reduced price for the commodity re-
Gently fixed by the principal trade pro-
duceTs. Upon this. advance in the secur-
ity market started, which lasted till the
close of business and left the active
stocks for the most part at decided net
gains for the day.
The largest gain was in Northern Pa
cifc common. which scored a net advance
OF rs points. The Great Northern pre-
ferred shares were also active and
higher. while the upward march of Union
Pacific common stock seemed to be
momentaTily less brisk.
Money Rates Easier.
There was very little news to-day of
financial interest CaH money rates con-
tinUed easy. and there was decided weak
ening of time money rates. il being pos
sible for the first time within several
weeks TO get money for "over the end

in high quarters Whether as i cause or
as a consequence of this, the market for
railway shoTt-term notes and other high
interest-bearing obligations Of a like sort
