Active List Mitch Neg
slected and Sllrcwd Evidence OF
Profit Taking.

NEW YORK July 1.-THE stock
market sank another degree into dull
ness to.day, with somewhat ominous
effect on speculative sentiment AT
times The usually active list was
I much neglected. and showed evidence
az selling to take profits, which sug-
Eested an effective obstacle to further
advances in the price level. On any
considerable recession in prices. how
ever. there was a distinct subsistence OF
selling. the. supply of stocks dropping
to nominal proportions and the decline
coming to a pause In spite OF the light
demand. Preliminary estimates OF the
weeks currency movement give deci-
sstre evidence of tho turning OF the
tide toward the interior. There has
been heavy Increase in the ship
sinents to the interior by the banks
this week. while receipts have been
cut down.
Crop news was good. the official
weather maps showing plentiful rain
fall in the Northwestern country.
where the greatest anxiety has en-
listed for lack OF moisture. Rumors
sdiVidual stocks or groups were effec-
tive. The most conspicuous instance
was the Gould railroads. An effort
was made to create an impression that
holdings acquired In these properties
during the recent extreme depression
have brought new interests into influ-
sence, with resulting assurance of
financial backing. Some of the bonds
as we'll as the stocks in the group
were favorably affected
Bonds were firm: some OF the con-
svcrtible issues advanced smartly in
company with their stocks Total
sales. par value, si,34S.o0O. United
States bonds were unchanged on cali.
The total sales Of stocks to-day
amounted 20 200 shares.

DECISION IS SWEEPING.
Court Says American Tobacco Com
pany is IA Trust.


pany is Il Trust
New York. Nov 16.-The sweep
ing character of the recent decision
of the United tSates circuit court in
declaring the American Tobacco COM
pany to be a combination in restraint
of trade, is attracting widespread at
tention in business circles and among
members of the legal profession who
have given special attention TO the
trust question. not so much for its
immediate effect on the allied tObac-
co interests. but more particularly
for its scope and effect upon all cases
of industrial combinations engaged
in interstate affairs. An appeal of this
decision to the United States supreme
court is now in active process of prep
aration by counsel in the case.
There has been a series of judicial
interpretations of the Sherman act
both in the Federal court and in the
United States supreme court, but the
concensus of opinion is that the re-
cent decision in the tobacco cases
gives a definiteness and scope of in
depreciation far beyond any judicial
utterance heretofore made. The
full text of the decision disclosed in
the language of the judges, the grad
uaI development of judicial interpre-
tation of the law up to the present
time. Judge Coke. one of the concur
ring judges, stating that since the
Knight against the sugar re-
fneries-the tendency has been con-
stantly toward wider scope OF the
statutes. -
