FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET UNDER RESTRAINT. Dealings Were Normal at All Tim es With Moderate Activity in Last Hour.

New York. July 9.-In the absence of coun terveiling factors. Wall Street received with some misgiVings today the news of the coming embargo by f1icting crop report and peace runors of unusual character also imposed additional restraints.
 Stock market dealings were nominal at all times. though showing moderate activity in the heavier tone of the last hour. Occasional inquiry for rails re- suited from last weeks concessions by the Interstate Commerce Commission.
 Leading steel and iron shares and those of kindred equipment companies were under constant pressure, the sell ing evidently originating from specu- Iative sources.
 U. s. Steel made a gross decline of Is points to 123 3-4. Bethlehem Steel was unusually active al an extreme re- cession of 1-4 to 129 I-2 and other lndustriaIs of the same group lost two to three points.
 Motors were again sought out for their vulnerable qualities at reversals of one to three points and Industrial Alcohol maintained it's reputation for irregularIty by falling 1-4 points to 151 1-2. making virtually no recovery.
 There were spamodiC periods of rel atiVe strength in shippings, the fertil- izers and pooled specialties, but move nepts in those groups enlisted little outside aid With few exceptions, quotations were at minimum quota tions of the day. Sales amounted to 510 900 shares.
 The remarkable strong exhibit made by local financial institutions in last Saturdays bank statement eXerted lit tie influence, ohter than tt create greater confidence in money condi- tions. Call loans were freely renewed at 3 per cent. and as low as ? 1-4 was quoted later
 For the first time in weeks gold were at a standstill, neith CT imports nor exports being report ed. Francs were strong and rubles and fires were better. Swiss exchange was at highest rates of any exchange to neutral countries.
 Bonds were inclined to improve, in ternational issues evincing a higher trend. Dealings in liberty 1-2s were heavy at par to 100 2-50. Total sales (par value) s2.5400, 900.
 C. $. bonds of the older issues were on call, the coupon fours losing 1-2 per cent. on a single sale.
