The stock market was dull today for the general list , but there wna a linn tone and linal prices were higher than those of lost night. The grangers were especially In , good demand and ruled for th greater part of the day at about a point above yesterday. Burling ton and Rock Island showed special strength and thora was some evidence of manipulation in thcso twu stock- ] . Much talk was hoard ot Burllngton'8 largo earnings for Jun * nnd rumors were alloat of a coming Increase In Rock Ifliind's dividend rate , which was , however , vlthout olllclal sanction. London was n decided factor In the day's higher prices ftnd buying for that account In New York was estimated UH high as 20,000 shares , principally of Louisville & -Nashville. Money conditions were apparently much easier In London and the sterling exchange rate hero worked lower in sympathy , In spite of lower tend-ncy of locol money rates. All apprehension of shipments of gold tomorrow was dissipated early in the day with a bcnellclal effect on speculative sentiment. The Inllti'iicea from abroad were all fa- vorablu except a fall in French rentes nnd u decline. In the sterling exchange rate at Paris , which suggested Increased money nseds at that center. Considering the dull- wss of t'ho ' local stock market the scope of the dealings was remarkably broad , a large number of usually inactive stcrkn coming Into activity and registering sharp gains. Among these were American Tobacco , Colorado rado & Southern pr-fcrred , Mobile & Ohio , Twin City Itapld Transit. National Biscuit end Dos Molnett & Fort Dodge , Plttsburg. Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis. General Electric , Continental Tobacco preferred. Oo-torado. Fuel , .tho smelting stocks , Illinois Central , Lead. Malting preferred , Pacific Qlall , Iowa Central. Chicago Great Western preJemd and American IIocp preferred , which rose between 1 nd 2 points each. American Linseed Oil preferred gained 6Vi. Not all of these galno were held , the mnrket dropping away somewhat In the In- U * , dullness of the late trading. The local traction stocks were all in pretty good demand. Brooklyn Transit rising an ex treme li and eluding up 1 % , Sugar was inclined to be 'heavy throughout the day on rumors of now development * In the op. position. Some hesitation was caused la the Into dealings by doubts as to the. chtir- ncter of .tomorrows bank statement , 'he changes In the cash item oMng problemfttl- cnl.

NEW YORK , July 21. The nmrkcJt for cotton future * showed more or loss Irregu larity today nnd while prices' ' nt one time were lower than yesterday's closing llgurcs by 2H points , the. market demand reflected the favorable reports on continued buying on Investment accounts , led by substantial AVall street ( houses , who have for several days past been consistent and persistent buyers' . The market opened steady at un changed to a decline of 3 points , further declined a point and then braced up with shorts somewhat on the anxious seat In view of the fact that our market had not made the dccllno that many expected In view of the disappointing character of the cables , the feature of which was not BO much the , loss of one nnd one-half to two- Blxty-fourths In futures as In the smaller sales of spot cotton at Liverpool. At the same tlmo crop advices had a more favora ble average and they have exerted u de pressing Influence upon the market , but they failed to do so to the extent which shorts had calculated upon. Covering , therefore , became more or less general , nnd while the market was not nt any time par ticularly active , a very fair business was done with outside Interest down for a larger proportion thaw usual of < lait * . The market was flnally steady , with unchanged prices to an advance of 3 points. Just before the close the market was bulled on the expecta tion of a bullish report tomorrow by the Chronicle.

Holiday. CATTLE Of the seventy odd loada of cattle reported In the yards some sixty loads consisted of beef steers , four loads of them Texas. The market was rather slow and , according to the Ideas of sellers , a little uneven that Is , some cattle sold at prices that looked strong , while some other fales did not look so good. Taking the sales as a whole there was not much change as compared with yesterday. The Texas cattle I brought J3.90 , which was 15c less than the I same kind brought yesterday , but It was 1 generally sigreed that the cattle were not so i good today. I The market on cows was slow , though i the offerings were light. As noted ycster- 1 day , they have been getting the market i on cow stuff down very rapidly this week , especially on grass cows. However , there was seine pretty good dry lot stuff here today and buyers' bids were lower even on that kind. Bulls were rather scarce and the market did not show any change from yesterday. Veal calves , as > good as any one could wsk for , broug-ht JG.50. No stackers or feeders of any consequence were In llrst hands and the offerings were hardly largo enough to make a test of the market. Out in the feeder division there were plenty of cattle in th hands of specu lators and there was no mistaking the feelIng - Ing there that prices weie lower. Repre sentative sales : BEEF STEERS.

The llrst sales , how ever , were generally steady with yesterday that is , $ l.l7 < 4iif4.20. From the way the market was yesterday It looked early as If sellers wouM do well to get steady prices. Later on , however , under the Influence of bettor reports from Chicago , the market picked up and closed 5c higher. There was also a good shipping demand , which helped to strengthen , up the market , so that the trade became active and the most of the hogfl sold early. There were quite a good many sales at $4.22V204.25 and as high aa $4.30 wa paid for good butcher weights. It will bo noted from the table of average prices that while a part of the decline yes terday was recovered the market IB still considerably below Wednesday's mark , though better than on Tuesday.

TIs- dalc. who manages the Pacific Mall Interest in Central America , and also C. P. Hunt- Ington's Guatemalan railroad Interests , was n passenger on the Colon , which has Just reached port. Colonel Tlsdnlo declared that the reports of political troubles In Guate mala recently published In the newspapers of San Francisco and New York , were greatly exaggerated , and that there Is at the present time small chance of a revolu tion In the country. He said : "Guatemala's trouble is of a financial nature. It is a rich country , but in desperate financial straits. The low price of coffco has Im poverished everybody. The reports that Americans are being mistreated and forced to leave the country are absolutely without foundation.1' Riilxe Fiirc to Five Cent * . DETROIT , Mich. , July 21. Straight G- cent fares were Inaugurated on the old street railway lines , excepting during the morning and evening hours , In which "worklngmen's" tickets are sold at eight for a quarter. The universal transfer privi lege between nil fines of all companies , which was begun during the 3-cent regime , still continues. An effect ot the raise today was to divert travel to the newer linesope rated under an elght-for-a-quartor franchise. Mayor Maynury. who is highly Indignant at the raising of fares , has called n special meeting of the city council for tomorrow to retaliate by prohibiting carrying of freight over the lines hy pushing a test of the le gality of combinations of the companies when prohibited by ordinances , nnd in other ways to restrict the companies' privileges.
