might not have been able to think OF
any that would answer the call. He

Dixon began fighting many years ago

STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Typical Summer Dullness Sets in--En-
 tlrely Professional.

New York, June 23-so far as they were mirrored in the securities market, events had no important bearing on values and prices moved sluggishly and hestatngly today under the influence of professional operations. The market was one of typical summer dullness.
 Many of the most influential men in financial affairs are already absent on prolonged vacations and traders and commission houses apparently recog- nize the futility of hopes of an active market.
 Tho acute pressure against the Rock Island securities, which weakened the market yesterday, subsided today, and this was the most important element in the recovery which set in. This was interrupted by occasional setbacks and by weakness in special stocks.
 Some interest Is shown in the de- eision to be made by the United States treasury in the meeting of the maturi- ty on August 1st of upwards of $60,000,- 900 of the Spanish war loan. An early announcement from the treasury de- Ipartment is looked for indicating whether the paying off or refundlng of this issue is intended as the action taken may have an important bearing on the money market. Trust companies are beginning the preparation to re- plenish their cash reserves up to the 10 per cent level required by July 1, and to this fact is attributed slightly less urgency in offerings of funds to loan, which has caused the firmer tone in

Notwithstanding the higher level Cor American stocks in London, prices here opened with slight Change, and soon began to sag off, with losses of about 1-2 point in Union Pacific and Reading, the two market leaders. St. Louis and San Francisco first and second preferred also broke sharply on niiiing sales, but Rock Island shares and bonds changed but little Vest lnghouse was strong, opening l IA up. Before half an hour was over it was apparent that liquidation of long stock was not heavy. but that many of the sales were for short account. By II o'clock considerable rally was in progress, which extended to about i1:30 o'clock, This was followed by another sagging process with Anal gamated and Anaconda Copper fea- lures of weakness In the last hour, after period of extreme weakness in numerous issues, stocks became a lit- tie steadier, but at the close were again unsettled, with Reading weak. The selling pressure was distinctly less and apparently the stock of un- favorable rumors had been used up.

While Rock Island common stock sold off 1-2 point soon after the open ing, there was not much liquidation. The first half-dozen sales of the pre- ferred were at the same price-30- and the bonds changed scarcely ahy from Mondays final prices The smallness of the offerings of the bonds had the appearance of bear tactics Frisco first preferred stock opened a point down at 49 and the second pre- ferred a point down to 25 1-2, with a second sale at 25. By midday Rock Island Issues rallied sharply. Discus sion of the affairs of the Rock Island system brought out no new facts, but the prevailing belief was that there would be no default on any interest payments during July, though some were expecting the dividend on the St. Louis and San Francisco first pre- ferred to be passed.
