The monthly review Of the American national

fully $40 600 900 less than the total deposits inst

COMMERCIAL FOR THE CALL
STOCK MARKET IN
A TORPID STATE

NEW YORK, May 25.-The stock market
today did not reflect much inclination TO
resume active speculation the part OF
operators Of great Importance. The anxiety
felt yesterday on account of the nature OF
some of the estimates of crop conditions
in Kansas and Nebraska was somewhat re-
heved today as result of a more cheerful
view Of the situation, but this relief failed
TO revive the stock market. Reports of
the beginning of the wheat harvest in
Texas alleged fair yield where failures
were expected. The weekly bulletin of the
weather bureau took a favorable view Of
the effects of the rains of the last few
days. but showed general deficiencies Of
temperature for the week.
There was traceable some influence for
depression in the news Of the progress Of
the strike on the Georgia railway and the
dimensions which the trouble has taken on.
Some interest attached to the inspired an
nounoement that J. P. Morgan & Co. had
withdrawn from connection with the pro-
posed merger Of a number of smaller fer
tilizer companies in the south.
The early drop in United States steel
threatened an interruption of the daily sue
CeSSlon OF new PtASSS NAAN
security has been making, hut this was
avoided when it stifened to 81 late in the
day. This belated movement was of con-
siderable sympathetic effect on the whole
list.
An advance in the prices of refined cop
per at the metal exchange was announced
and there were reports that the selling
price had been lifted by the selling agency
Of the principal producers. Their reports
gave figures of sales thus far this month
that pointed TO a volume of deliveries for
May considerably in excess of ANY other
month since the present revival set in ana q
well in excess of the prevailing rate of
production. The action of the copper in
dustrials in the face of these favorable ad-
vsnces was illustrative of the general unre-
sponsiveness of the whole market to devel-
oPments.
In the final dealings there was a general
setback in which Reading, ST. Paul and
Western Maryland were particularly weak.
Business left of and at the close was on
the down grade.
Bonds irregular. Total sales, par value,
ss,4le, ,oOO
United States bonds were unchanged on
