Dealings Are Not Large Enough
to Produce Any Radical
Shift in Values.
LONDON PROVES FACTOR
IN DULL WEEK END
Railroad Bonds Show Steady Tone,
But Heaviness Continues in Gov
ernments and Municipals.

NEW YORK, July 12-There was no
appearance of reviving interest in the
stock market when trading began today,
following the dullest day in seventeen
years.
Price changes were small with a few
exceptions. Canadian Pacific opened =
points higher and Bethlehem Steel 1.
The rest of the list advanced fraction
ally.
Limited quantities of stock were offered
for sale, and when shorts bought they
had to pay half a point or more over
yesterdays closing figures to get sup
plies.
Initial prices were better, but dealings
were not large enough TO produce any
radical change in values
Slow Upward Movement.
The market closed Arm. Partial relief
of the short interest. as indicated by the
slow upward movement Of stocks today.

foreign political news, satisfactory trade
reports and word of the improved crop
prospects as a result of recent rains.
London was something of a factor in
ttOn for the dull and drifting upward
movement came from the resumption of
foreign buying of Canadian Pacific and
other railroad stocks.
When 1t became evident that the early
rise was not bringing out the accustomed
supply traders showed a more general
inclination to take the long side Few
changes of Importance were effected,
however.
Railroad bonds showed a steady tone,
but there was continued heaviness in
government and municipal issues.
Trading Exceptionally Dull.
The level of stock market quotations
was changed but little as a result of the
weeks operations. Trading was excep-
tionally dull and movements were re-
stricted to unimportant swings up and
down. representing chiefly the activities
of board room traders
The weeks news was for the most part
favorable to the bears. Gold exports
were resumed, with shipment of 5000
OO0 to Paris. The Pittsburgh bank fail
ure, the new war in the Balkans, which
caused some unsettiement in foreign mar
kets- the possibility of a strike of train
men and conductors on the eastern rail-
roads. and the poor showing of spring
wheat in the government crop. report
tended to restrict speculation on the long
side Of the market.
A further falling off in the steel trade
was indicated by a decrease of 511, 900
tons in the United States Steel corpora
tons untitled orders on hand July j. Al
though the copper producers reported a
shrinkage in stocks of metal, the de-
crease was due to small production rath-
er than to increased demand.
