ing stock, where the fire practically
burned itself out.
Three church buildings, the Broad

Swedish chapel, were among the build
ings destroyed, as was the Presbyte-
rian sanitarium. The patients OF the
latter institution We're all removed in

twisted masses of steel and iron and
several hundred box cars, besides the
roundhouse and other buildings of the
road, were destroyed.
The flames swept over an area OF
ten blocks in length and seven In
width.
The fire was not checked until dyna-
mite was resorted to four hours later.
The buildings not enumerated above
which were destroyed were residences,
most of them new and in the most ex-
elusive residence section.
People living within radius OF
three blocks of the place where the fire
started had no time to save anything.

STILL SLUGGISH
Weakness More Decided Than
Tuesdays Movement
STEEL STOCKS ARE HEAVY
Some Railroads of the West Are At

Others Are Unchanged.
STEEL STOCKS ARE HEAVY

New York, July I'm its general ap-
pearance the stock market today was
even more torpid than yesterday. but the
actual transactions were somewhat more
l numerous The weakness which developed
early was more positive manifestation OF
price tendency than has occurred since
the prolonged holiday.
Later the market showed some effects
of relief, afforded by this liquidation, and
some advantage from the sympathetic ef-
fect of strong points. The recovery was
supposed to come from the trading class
or operators, who had bought sparingly
In the anticipation that speculation would
revive this week with the passage of the
three-day holiday, the July settlements
and other influences of restraint on last
weeks market. The houses which did
this selling and the concentrated form II
took gave an impression of coming from
influential sources. It's sentimental effect
therefore, was considerable.
London joined in this selling, and es-
peoially of United States Steel. The per-
sistent heaviness of that stock had a de-
pressing effect on sentiment toward the
whole list. Foreigners showed some re-
newal of uneasiness over the copper trade
situation. The price of copper warrants
fell sharply in London and quotations for
the metal were marked down at the metal
exchange in New York.
There were number of stocks regard
Ing which speculative predictions have
failed, leading to reselling by disappoint-
ed buyers. This was true of Wabash,
which has been the subject of reports
circulating of coming passage of con-
troll to a stronger company
United States Steel suffered in the same
way from the long drawn out claims in
behalf of the. project for listing on the
Paris bourse. A sharp upturn in the
wheat market following reports of heavy
rain in the regions where harvesting is in
progress, suggested that a fear that the
expected good effect of tomorrows fav-
orite government crop report would be
neutralized in that way.
There was some dissatisfaction ex-
pressed by sellers of stocks over the tariff
bill developments at Washington.
The principal sustaining factor in the
market was the steady accumulation of
Southern Pacific and an effective demand
for one or two of the corn-carrying rail-
roads, notably Atchson and Rock Island.
The brilliant prospect presented for the
corn crop tomorrow helped this group.
Both Southern Pacific and Atchison
were subjects of renewed rumors of an
extended dividend Increase. Rock Island
had an advantage from the sale of &c.,
100000 Of the bonds of its subsidiary COM
pany, the ST. Louis and San Francisco, to
a French syndicate, which was announced
yesterday.
The money market remained easy in
