DULLNESS IN THE
STOCK MARKET
Business Was of the Most Per
functory Character The .
Ranges Were Small

New York, Aug. 24.-The stock
market today lapsed into its extreme
dullness Of the early summer. Trans
actions were almost the smallest Of
any day for some weeks and business
was Of the most perfunctory char
acter. Such tendency as the list
at odd intervals was most
ly in the direction Of lower prices.
A number Of new low records were
established for the movement, South
ern Pacific and American Tobacco
preferred coming In for that belated
distinction.
A rather pessimistic interview at
tributed to the head Of the Atchison
road was in line with this program
and confirmed the belief now general
ly prevalent that conservatism and
extreme caution in money spending
are to guide all corporate undertake
ings for the balance of the year, If
not for q longer period. The adjourn
ment Of congress passed by utterly
ignored. and interest now hinges on
the utterances Of the chief executive
Of the nation in his forthcoming tour.
A new turn was given to the Moroc-
can situation on cables from Paris
announcing that discussion Of that
matter is to come up on Friday, and
Berlin advices reported a subsidence
Of anxiety over that question on it's
boerse. The labor situation at home
continues rather critical In some rail-
way quarters particularly on the
Southern Pacific and the Illinois Gen.
tral lines. The day was devoid Of
crop news, but all signs point to gen.
eral betterment.
News respecting the steel and iron
industry was somewhat conflicting.
A few Of the railroads have placed
orders for very moderate quantities of
rails, but other products are being Of
fered at lower prices, as a result of
which the volume Of business for the
year may attain to last years proper
tons.
Conditions In the copper metal
trade are regarded with no small do
gree of satisfaction. There has been
q very heavy demand recently, large
ly from domestic consumers and one
Of the largest producing companies ID
said to have marketed all it's output
since April /. Relatively more firm
ness has been shown BY copper &C.
curities In the recent decline than IN
any other class OF stocks. #
Further, unsettlement was shown by
the market in the last hour, with an
other drive against the active group
chiefly Union Pacific. Southern Pacific
and Atchison. The movement was
suggestive OF short selling, but was
halted before 1t had gone very far
and was followed by further stagna-
ton. The closing was dull with. q
heavy undertone, In which q majority
Of stocks recorded net losses,
The bond market was easier. To-
tai sales par value $1,15S, 900.
