STOCK MARKET IS
 BECOMING DULL Profit Taking Offers An 0bSta- cIe to Further Advance THE UNDERTONE IS STRONG
Several Features of Underlying Strength Are Shown Which Give Confidence In Betterment of
 Values In Near Future.

New York, July 1.-The stock market sank another degree into dullness today with somewhat ominous aspect on invest ment at times. July's active list was much neglected and showed evidence of selling to take profits, which suggested an effective obstacle to further advances in the price level. On any considerable recession of prices, however, there was d distinct subsistence of selling, the supply of stocks dropping to nominal proportions and the decline coming to pause in spite of the light demand. This is the feature of the market that has been most remarked during the whole of the week and constitutes it's underlying strength as we'll as keeps alive the conviction that influential holders of securities maintain confidence in the betterment of the values. Meantime there were brought forward into prominence today a number of new features of strength, which served as sustaining influence on the whole list, although not as influential to that end as some of the more prominent stocks which were strong earlier in the week.
 One case of the contraction in the &C., tvity of the speculation was the success of the plan for a comprehensive advance in freight rates by the reports of the dif- ferences of opinion among representatives of different railroad systems at the con- ference in this city to consider the sub ject. It is evident that the success of any attempted advance must depend upon its adoption by all of the railroads con- cerned.
 Preliminary estimate of the weeks cur rency movement gives decisive evidence of the turning tide of the movement with the interior. There has been a heavy in- crease in the shipments to the interior by the banks this week, while receipts have been correspondingly cut down. There seems to have been a net gain on balance in favor of this center still, but not so large but that it will be counter balanced probably by the sub-treasurys absorption from the banks, leaving the cash item little changed from last week. The falling off in current redemption of bank notes at the sub-trea sury is another index of the decline in receipts from the interior New York exchange at Chicago declined to 10c premium today compared with Soc premium per 5000 a few weeks ago.
 Crop news was good, the official weather map showing plentiful rainfall in the northwestern country where ihe greatest anxiety has existed for lack of moisture Note was taken of an advance

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, July 7.-(Special) Jon the estimate from an outside source of 86 as the crop condition prices dropped points. The figure was a good one, the effect slight and soon forgotten. Prices have been those of the moments $ influence. The weather Is excellent. with some slight fear of the hot winds, but in general good reports are uni form, and apparently the market dis counts them. The concentra tion of tho moderate spot stock, with October de- liveries in firm hands. dissuades would be sellers, and buyers are timid for obvious reasons. Liverpool reports some buying by nervous shorts in the fear of drought scares and that in conso- quence of poor trade yarn stocks are increasing despite the general short time in production.

Any bullish hope of an extension of the hot wave which was reported as making it's appearance in Arkansas yesterday was subsequently dissipated by the forecast of showers and cooler weather for the west ern portion of the belt.
