WALL STREET MARKET VERY DULL.
RAILS AND INDUSTRIALS HOLD
ING FIRM.

NEW YORK, July % p. m.-Since
noon the market has been very weak
and duh. Railroad shares for the most
parc and the Industrial group have held
fairly well at the opening level or frac-
lions below. But extreme weakness has
developed in InterbOro Metropolitan.
The common stock dropped to l4ls just
after noon. a full point below the open
ing, and the preferred shares lost over
two points. At the low level some buy
ing developed which rallied the pre-
ferTed to 451z. but both issues are weak
and are again touching the low points
of the day
The general list is inactive and in
clined TO sag. The market presents few
features Of interest outside Of the trac-
ton shares
Stock Market Very Dull.
NEW YORK, July 23.-Noon.-The
stock market during the morning has
been almost at a standstiH, both as to
sales and price changes. At the open
ing Amalgamated Copper advanced
point OF rumoTs of various kinds but
later a portion OF this advance was
lost. Rails generally, with the exception
of AtchisOn, showed a reaCuOnary ten
dency, due largely to proht-taking sales
on the theory that present prices would
not hold over the end OF the week. To-
ward noon business lapsed TO almost
nothing, and the market was merely
drifting.
A dispatch from Boston says there
have been no changes IN the General
Electric situation TO account for the
advance In the stock this week TO the
highest point touched in the last four
years. Gross sales are at the rate of
about $550000m per annUm, an improve
ment Of 30 per cent compared with
year ago. General Electric has on hand
sufficient stocks Of copper 10 cover its
requirements for fully six months to

of copper for two or three months in
the spring. but has bought no large
amounts Of the metal during the last
three or four weeks. At the present

copper per annum.
Accumulation OF Reading.
Quiet accumulation is said to be under
way in Reading for important market
interests. The manipulative tactics en-
ployed in this stock during the past
week have created a bearish feeling to
ward 1t in professional ranks, resulting
in short selling.
1t is believed in conservative quar-
tiers today that there is a vulnerable
account IN Southern Pacific. This ac-
count, said 10 have been built up on
the theory of a per cent dividend rate

that number of concerns anticipating
an immediate rise to 40 are more con-
sentative. The stock is held now be
tween 1S2 and 1S5.
