Volume Of Trading Light Compared
With Yesterdays Activity.

NEW YORK. July c6,-There, were no

The volume OF trading was extremely
light In contrast to yesterdays early ac-
tvity.
Trading Largely Professional.
The week IN the stock market was char
acterized by a very general advance and
greater activity than at any time since
the extreme dullness of the early summer
period. Trading, however. continued
largely professional. with occasional signs
OF outside or public interest AS yet the
but opinion prevails that this phase of
the situation Is working toward steady
Improvement.
Undoubtedly the most favorable fea-
ture OF the situation Is the greater ease
OF money, not only here, but abroad as
