STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Such Participation as Was Attracted
Given Reluctantly.

SucH was
Given Reluctantly.
New York, July 1S.-Such participa-
ton as was attracted In to-day's stock
market seemed to be given reluctantly
and with reserves of suspicion and
hesitation, The sudden reIapses to
which the market has been subject sew
eral times recently after a laborious
lifting process have had their influence
in discouraging the pursuit Of the adj
vances. The market closed in the midst
of such relapse yesterday and the
languid interest of the early market to-
day was the consequences. Selling of
the kind which broke prices yesterday
was not pushed to-day, and especially
United States Steel showed evidences
Of support which checked its headlong
decline. The source Of yesterdays sell
ing was not disclosed but it was sup
posed to have to do with special Incl
dents in the steel trade. Less was
heard to-day of the assertion recently
current in the stock market that an In
crease in U. 6. Steel dividend had been
determined on.
Spectators had also abandoned hope
of an increased disbursement to Anal
gamated Copper stock holders. Some
satisfaction was derived from the man
ner of declaring the 2 per cent, dis
bursement for the quarter without
qualification in place of the previous
distinction Of / Ia per cent. regular
and IL per cent. extra The amount
of the dividend was accepted, neyerthe-
Jess, as a reflection of conservative
views Regarding the trade outlook. Ad-
vantage was taken of the subsistence
of the selling pressure of yesterdays
late dealings to resume the organized
attempts to lift prices. Union Pacific
was not so much singled out for these
operations as for most of the time re-
Gently but the efforts We're. still closely
confined to the western and Pacific
stocks, st. Paul and Northern Pacific
especially the latter, took the leader
ship.
Discount rates were easier in London
and Paris to-day, but the investment
situation abroad is still unsettled as
shown by the failure of an East Indian
loan offering and the weakness of Jap
anese bonds abroad on account of the
pending Manchurian railway loan, The
bank Of England reported a moderate
recuperation and the bank of France
showed but small increase in gold
i holdings The ease of the local mon
ey market is not expected to outlast
the beginning of the demand for cur
rency to move the crops and the New
York exchange rate at Chicago has de-
clined sharply this week. The sus-
| tanned strength at the last of Northern
Pacific and one or two other stocks
prominent during the day dill not con-
ceal an irregular movement in the gem
eral list
