NEW YORK, July 27.-The stock market to-
day was characterized by It's narroWness ana
professionalism, and its movements had niue
significance as indicating financial conditions.
The time set for the meeting of United states
Steel directors, at o. clock, left no opportunity
10 take advantage Of the action taken on the
dividend.
The small impression made the price of
United States Steel by the broad limitations
of the past few days that no dlVldend IN
crease was to be counted made the shorts
unwilling to wait for action of the directors.
There was a significant growth Of the I'M
preston, proved true by the event. com
promise decision would be reached by the dl-
rectors, putting the dividend on per cent
basis.
From the copper trade came another dis

neighborhod of 200 making it plain that little
effort would be required to make that price

The caution of the advance showed that its
managers feared the effects of an actual quo
tation of 200 in suggesting a elimination and
possibly bringing out hquidatng orders.
The evidence of the large influence of the
good crop promise in holding prices makes
speculative sentiment fearful Of any sudden
development which should threaten the abuh-
dance of the yield.
The outward gold movement continues, and
New York borrowers are resorting again TO
