New York. June sO-After yesterdays
spurt Of q comparative activity the pre-
vailing tendency OF the stock market To-
day was again relapsed into dulness.
Transactions were $4,000. as against
yesterdays 6Sl.5O0. shares. and in the

sales consequent upon yesterdays ad-
vance OF OYER a point in the standard

Southern Pacific stock IN particular

Pacific stock was strong throughout. and
although these and the other railroad
stocks sold or little at the close IN
common with most Of the other leading
shares, declines everywhere were slight
and intermlngled with a very fair scat
tering Of advances.
In the case Of United States Steel, aside
from the influence Of the inevitable sell
ing OF yesterdays 2l-4-point rise, the
stock was undoubtedly affected by the
knowledge that tomorrow something Of
contest may begin between the Steel
Corporation and the Amalgamated Asso-
ciotion OF Sheet Steel and Tin Plate
workers over the Open-shop issue. raised
by the great steel manufacturing concern.
Nevertheless, this factor did not appear
10 be powerful one. It Is perfectly well
understood that the American Sheet Steel
and Tn Plate Company, the subsidiary
organization OF the United States Steel
Corporation interested in the affairs. has
now standing idle a number OF nonunion
plants into which it can and will immedi-
ately turn all the business now being done
IN the union plants should the men in the
last-nanled factories decide TO stop work.
The business Of the Steel Corporation Will

vention adjourned at $50 o'clock last
evening renewing the struggle at 9
o'clock this morning.
Not one of the candidates for judi
cial honors came within long dis
tance shot of the mark and prospects
for conclusion today of the hottest
political row that has ever been STIR
red up in western Illinois are far fom
bright. The one hundredth ballot

taken aboard indicating that he is too
weak to even walk the deck. He was
accompanied by his wife, two daugh-

servants arrived from Paris by spec

weakness and lassitude was apparent
when he was helped from the train.
He attempted to veil his movements
