NARROW MARKET.
The Tone Was Decidedly Weak at the
Last

New York. July 21.--The general
tone of the market is dominated yet
by the action of one or two of the
favorite specular.e' stocks. The fav-
orite since the end of last week has
been Union Pacific. Today United
States Steel reasserted it's earlier DOM
inant influence, but this time on the
side Of reaction. The congestion of
dealings in a few stocks is an evidence
of the narrowness of the market. The
dependence on the operations of a few
active spectators to effect a. price
movement is another.
While stocks are being bought by
thse operators prices advance easily,
when they attempt to sell a downward
movement is almost as ready, owing
to the small general speculative de-
'mand. The concentrated selling today
in a few of the most influential stocks
gave the impression of such attempts
at liquidation of important accounts
and served to intimidate sentiment.
There were reports of sales of as
much as $4,000 shares Of Reading by
single house and sales of 10000 shares
of United States Steel by another
house proved impressive. The upward
start in Union Pacific proved INSULT
Gent to overcome the stronger infiu-
ence of this apparently informed SELL
ing. Union Pacific rose as high as
80 IL in the first hour, establishing a
new high record and giving hopes to
those who have predicted for. three
days past that the price was to touch
double par. The adverse effect of
the selling of United States Steel prov
ed too much for Union Pacific, and il
shared in. the later weakness of the
general market Yesterdays report of
the sale of the company's $10,000,000
of Atichison preferred stock was look
ed upon today as a movement to dis
post of such holdings as subjected it
to pursuit by the government authori-
ties. An unfavOrable impression was
made by the pointing out that the mar
ket price attained by this stock offered
the first opportunity for sale as a profit
since the severe declines which fol-
lowed its acquisition, while other hold
ings in the company's treasury are far
short yet of the purchase price. The
talk of an intended increase Ia the
Union Pacific dividend was deprecated
by persons connected with the proper
ty. and this proved discouraging to
the speculative manoeuvres in the
stock. The serious storm reported
from the Texas coast had some de-
pressing effect on Southern Pacific and
was a growing influence on the whole
market. The selling of United States
Steel followed it down to II, but SEEM
ed to lessen below that point, as it has
done below ~ earlier in the week. The
opinion was heard today that some of
the settings today might be by hold
ers DESTROYS to escape the possible en-
barrassment of too numerous company
on the selling side when the tariff
passes. The tone was decidedly weak
at the last. Bonds were irregular. To-
tai sales, par valne. s4,096.000. United
