For Long Periods Ticker Failed to
 Record Any Transactions.


 New York, May 24.-Stagnation such as IS often witnessed during midsun- mer overlook today's stock market. The first hour brought a very moder- ate degree of activity, particularly in the low priced issues, but after that dealings fell until they averaged little more than 90,000 shares en hour For long periods the ticker failed to re- cord any transactions, even the pool ed" shares relapsing Into utter quiet with the balance of the list Despite the dullness, sentiment seemed to be mildly optimistic, the change being predicated in part on the negative fact that there was no selling pressure,
 During the morning there was Vlo lent uprush in the tobacco shares, es pecially American Tobacco, which rose seven points, but at midday practically all this gain was lost.

It is altogether likely. however, that the settlement of the subway problem may have an inn portant effect on the general monetary situation, which is complicated at the moment by foreign demand.

SUNKEN MAINE IS
EASILY RAISED

The long pr0tracted task OF
raising the sunken hattleship Maine
was crowned with success last
week when the after section, which
was not injured in the explosion,
and comprises approximately half
the total length of the vessel, was
set afoat.
Barely sufficient water was
admitted within the cofrerdam to
free the hulk from the mud in
which it was deeply imbedded.
Major Harley B. Ferguson, chief
engineer in charge of the work,
intends now to cease admitting
water within the cufferdam until
the portions of the shattered for
ward section Of the battleship are
moved which will be a matter of
few DAYS. After this, it will
only he matter Of admitting suf-
ficient water to raise the hulk to
the harbor level. Then a section
of the cofferdam will be removed
and the hulk floated out into tho
bay.
Three skeletons were found
in an exploration Of the extreme
bow section of the Maine.
