NEW YORK. July 1O.--This morning S
stock market. for the most part. opened
fractionally above yesterdays closing fig
ures and maintained a fairly steady tone
during the greater part of the business
session.
At the same time. the dealings as a
whole were characterized by the irregular
tendencies which have prevailed through
out the week. There was little news ex-
cept of a routine character over night.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country S
trade set forth further Improvement and
expansion. The London stock market
was dun and also irregular. but American
shares were exceptionally steady. and the
operations here for foreign account
showed a small excess of purchases.
The dealings in detail developed few
features of special interest Illinois Cen
trstl was exceptionally strong on a repett-
tion of the reports current earlier in the
week that the stock would be guaranteed
IL per cent dividends BY the Union Pa
citc. Dealings were most active in the
last named stock Southern Pacific. Read
ing, AtchiSon and the L. 5. Steel shares
Little interest appeared to be taken In
the outlook for the week bank state
ment, although the preliminary indica-
tions pointed to Il fairly strong showing
by that document.
Western Maryland and the several
other stocks which were under particular
pressure during the earlier part of the
week showed rallying tendencies which
were generally ascribed to the covering
of short contracts.
The dealings contracted steadily in ac-
tivity in the course of the morning, but
Il fairly steady tone was maintained.
Canadian Pacific was exceptionally
strong. reports of an increase of the
dividend accompanying the rise in the
stock
Elsewhere the dealings developed no
features of interest aside from those
previously mentioned.

SAVED COST OF UNIFORM.
Senator Burkett Successful in In
terceding for Midshipman.

In about seven minutes at the Navy
Department today Senator Burkett of Ne
braska probably saved Midshipman H. w.
Stephenson of his state 500.
Midshipman Stephenson's eyes were
badly burned at Annapolis during his
course at the Naval Academy by the use
Of nitrate Of silver for granulated eye
Ids. AS result. upon his graduation
this summer the midshipman presented
his resignation to the department, condi-
toned upon his admittance to the Coast
Artillery. So far neither the navy nor
the Coast Artillery has acted on his case
Orders were issued by the Navy De-
partment, however, for him to report to-
day for duty on the battleship South
Carolina. That meant the expenditure Of
about S1OO for uniforms. which would be
entirely useless in event he entered the
Coast Artillery. He persuaded Senator
Burkett to ask that the orders be can
celed. That was done.
