Trading Was Almost Too Small for
 Serious Consideration.

New York, July 1.-Yesterday's late reaction gathered greater force and scope durin gtoday's brief session. Trading was almost too small for Seri- GUS consideration, however, the total turnover aggre gating 1T2, GOO shares.
 Specialties were again under the re- st1fctions imposed by the Mexican sit uation, although other adverse factors were not without their influence. The reported successes of the allied forces were in a measure responsible for the weakness of certain munitions and equipments.
 United States Industrial Alcohol was again the weakest stock, declining 3-S to 129 1-2, and closing at 131, a loss of points for the week. MeXicans as a group were no weaker than other spe- cial stocks. such as Marines, Motors, Coppers and allied issues.
 Studebaker and Baldwin Locomotive were singled cut in the later dealings, the former losing almost points, with only slight rally, and Baldwin being sold on reports of labor troubles.
 Crucible Steel manifested little re- cuperative power on its decline of almost ? points.
 United States Steel stood out for it's firmness, all no time making more than a small fractional loss and clos ing virtually unchanged, but Bethle- hem and some of the most obscure in dustrials were ? to 8 point slower.
 Rails were held tenaciOusly, as was to be expected in view of marvellous statements submitted aver night by the Pennsylvania and New York systems. Canadian Pacific was the chief feature, goining almost ? points. with as much for Nickel Plate and Atlantic Coast Line, while Wabash preferred shares were active and decidedly strong.
 In keeping with general expectations the bank statement shows a large ac- tual cash loss. more than $20, ,000,000, with a decrease of as much in excess reserves, while loans expanded by slightly more than $13,000,000.
 Bonds were lower with stocks today, no nominal dealings. Total sales, par value, aggregated $1O35, 900.
 United States bonds were unchanged or call during the week, with material concessions in coupon threes and reg istered fours on a few actual sales.
