CONSOLIDATED EXCHANGE.

Stocks closed steady In dull market
on the Consolidated Exchange. Final
quotations saw several standard issues
unchanged. while others had a minimum
gain. Price changes. after the opening
hour were small and the market was
narrow and inactive. The trading in
terest was confined throughout the ses-
sion to a small group OF stocks and
lacked incentive for any pronounced
movement in either direction. The OPEN
ing hour. the most active of the session,
saw prices advance. then react, rally
and move quietly. holding steady for
the remainder Of the day. PROFIT taking
on limited scale was in evidence at
intervals and toward the close elimi-
mated the fractional gains in a number
OF securities. In the indutsrias the
volume OF business was confined to the
steel shares, Baldwin Locomotive, Marine
preferred and Mexican Petroleum and

FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
Price Changes Slight in Dull
and Restricted Market,
With Money Tight.
POOL LOANS $18,000,00O
Temporary Relaxation Is Now
Looked for Early in the
Coming Week.
POOL LOANS $18,00O,O0O

The stock market yesterday, was per-
functory affair, with price changes in the
active list generally small and with
fluctuations for the most part meaning
less The volume Of trading for the day
was limited to $4,000 shares and inter-
est In the market was at low 6bb. The
stagEation caused no surprise in view
of money conditions, which were de-
scribed as very tight" Government de-
posits to the extent OF about $7b,000.0 900
were reported to have been withdrawn
and those needing call loans had to apply
TO the money pool for approximately
$1S,o0o,000. While temporary relax
alton in money conditions Is expected
early next week a large supply, that 10.
one sufficiently large to encourage spec
ulatlon. is not to be anticipated. The
situation ranges from tight to stringent
and traders have come to regard a tight
condition as normal and a rate in ex-
cess Of 5h per cent. for call money a
rule rather than an exception. Time
money was again conspicuous by its alb
sence. The banks will have to absorb
at least $500, 900. 900 additional GER
tiflcates Before anything approaching
freedom in the money market can pre-
vail.
The war news presented nothing spec
tacular. although the steady progress
against the enemy's stiffest resistance
was gratifying. There were no domestic
developments to minimize the full effect
Of stringent money and restrictive con-
troll Of stock market operations was at its
maximum. The best evidence Of ex-
IRENE dulness was the fact that only
$4,000 shares of United States Steel COM
mon changed hands yesterday with a net
gain of Il and range Of only y of a
point. Some Of the features were a rise
In Canadian Pacific to 1878, a new high
for the year, and in General Cigar to
52S up ~ also loss Of 2 points each
by American Sumatra and American
Writing Paper preferred. a new high for
the year at 100.14 for Liberty avs and
sale Of United Kingdom 5s at 100, the
high for this year. Elsewhere the active
shares failed to move more than a point
in either direction.
The liberal assistance from the money
pool kept call money rates at the maxi
mum Of per cent. on mixed collateral
and ~ per cent. on all industrial. There
was a strong request for time money and
no supply. In fact time money loans all
the week have been only occa sional and
confined to thirty day maturity. Francs

were easier except pesetas, which ad-
vanced In the late trading. The trade
reviews which appear this morning speak
OF the business restraint owing to mid
summer heat and humidity and the lack

essential industries. The fact liz COM

in business and trade. Wholesale trade

American Hide ana Leather.

Increased activity in the American
Hide and Leather issues has revived in
terest in tho changing conditions in
that company's affairs, one important
phase Of which involves the election of
new interests in the directorate. The
identity of the men who will become
afYlliated with the Hide and Leather
Company Is withheld, but when the an
nouncement Is made 1t will explain to
large degree the recent strength In the
stocks. In quarters close to the manage
ment the belief Is entertained that the
new directors will be named at the an
nual meeting Of the company, which Is
set for early September. Another fac
tor In Hide and Leather Is the reor
ganization possibilities. including the
wiping out Of the large accumulated
dividends on the senior stock. though
those best informed on the matter d.
not think this will materialize for sons
months. Regarding the rumors Of buy
ing Of the stock by American Interna-
tional Corporation interests 1t can be
stated that a man associated with the
American international has recently
purchased some stock, but so far as the
corporations official connection with It
la concerned there is no reason to be-
lieve 1t has acquired any Hide and

A Seller OF Steel.

Wall Street Is always divided az to
the character Of the buying and selling
Of securities. and the statement maze
rere yesterday that there had been
some selling by large speculative
traders this week was denied by some
firms The fact Is, however, that one
Wall Street house alone sold 10000
chares Of Steel for one account above
1i2 and has another large block to
dispose Of. This stock was originally
purchased around 105. and the house re-
ferred to 10 prepared to take back stock
on any decline. This does not mean
that any Of tho important holdings OF
Steel common have been disturbed. for
the owners Of this class are not inter.
ested In short swings. but It indicates
that professional operators are still OF
the opinion that the market Il not likel,
to register any vigorous advance under
