SBW YORK T4CKS AMI BOMIS. .Sprenln tlon Dull mill I'relilr .ftrr Re cent Excltriiicnt. NEW YORK, July 24. Thu dullness nnd the feeble fluctuations In prices In today's stock market reflected the flagging of spec ulative Interest which Is usual after an active speculative movement has expended Itself and has been followed by reaction. By this morning the fact had become quite ouvlous that yestcrduy's recovery In the prices of stocks had been principally based on tho relapse In the grain markets, rather than on any actual news trom tho grain crops. The consequence of this revised view of yestcrduy's irlovemcnt wns some renewed misgivings lest yesterday's pre diction of rains hnu been overstated. These. misgivings were accentuated by published estimates from exhaustive Inquiry showing heuvy da mace already Inflicted upon the com crop, 'Iho tendency of stocks to rally from declines showed the growth of a feel ing among the speculators that, even con ceding substantial damage to the corn crop, the decline already effected In prices in stocks has fairly discounted this damage. Money market considerations ngulu loom Into promlncnco as u factor In the activity of speculation. It Is realized that the heuvy liquidation In stocks of the Inst few weeks had In view nrcnnrntlon to meet the crop-moving requirements and not renewed speculation, An attempt wns evident to lend an up ward movement bv bidding un Union Pa cific and tho Wubashes, nnd there was) some snow ot nrmncsH among the southern rail roads and seaboard soft coal carriers. But the market yielded nt the last to renewed weakness when the room traders attempted 10 iuhc ineir proms nnn tne lowest prices for tho grnngers and Paclllcs and prices wero mnue slightly before the close, which was feverish and Irregular. At the lowest the declines were Missouri Pncllic 3"4, St, Paul 3H, Union Pnclllu 31i, Atchison 2Ts. Kansas & Texas preferred 2i, while in the neneral list declines of 1 to 2 points were very general. The railroad bond market was dull and heavy. Total sales, par vulue, Jl, 315,000. United Stateu new 4s declined U per cont on the Inst call. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram mvi: 'rim market h&Vr been Idle, as much no that dealers fill ina time ny circulating vague and absurd minors about a peace treaty being signed In South Africa this afternoon, all arising apparently from Lord Mllner's speech of yesterday, Americans opened unenthuslus tie mid dropped sharply In the absence of business. They fluctuated erratically, closing: midway between the best and tho worst, but neglected. The bank bought 30,000 gold In bars and sent 46,000 to Egypt and 23,0w) to Australia.

Not many cuttle changed hands until tho morn ing was well advanced, and It was late be foro a clearance was made. Chicago reported choice cattle nearly stendy nnd others 10326c lower, and that Is Just about the way buyers started In hero on tho beef steers. Sellers of course were not willing to take off that much, and na a result It was lato before much of any thing was done. The few cattle that did change hands were easily 10tfl5c lower, and that was a good deal the way the most ot the cattle sold. It was a very slow, draggy market, but still prices here wure well In line with the way cattle sold at other points. Tho cow market did not show sd much change, as there were only live or six cars on sale. The quality of the offerings was very Inferior and for the most part the kind that packers do not want. Anything good sold at right around steady prices, but aside from those tho market was un even and probably lower. The kind of stuff that Is neither killers nor feeders Is tho hurdest to well and sellers have to take what they can get for them. Hulls, calves and stags were all rather scarce this morning, but still the tendency was to buy thcin lower. There was quite a sprinkling of stockers and feeders this morning and buyers seemed to want a few of the better grades. Onod cattlo sold at very close to steady prices, but the undesirable kinds were slow and weak. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. No. A v. Tr. !:. 1 m 3 00 20... i ioio 3 ;f it... 1 1160 4 00 39...
