I k' ' NEW TOHK, July L-It was left to view stocks to furnish the etrons; Pots In 5" the market today! otherwise conditions h1 "frera Unsettled with prices generally V;iSlowen The torpedoing of the Armenian '"was restralnlnir Inlluenca at the open- ' lnir arid tills was responsible for some selling1. Liquidation, however, wag S orlnclpallJ' by room traders and there was no rush to sell, demonstrating that 1 actual holdings were not disturbed, and , there was soma commission house buy- ' in on the recession, resulting In a firmer tone before midday. The principal feature was the small amount of business done, trading being likened to n day In midsummer. Operations were largely of an evenlng up character, as no one cared to carry anv Jarge amount of stooke over the holl dav While- the governors decided to keen tho exchango open on Saturday, sny traders made preparations to leave town for a trlplo holiday. That no serious complications will arise from the Inking of the Armenian was the general belief, and this was strengthened by the announcement that the vosael was en gaged in British Admiralty work. Several Items of favorable marketwtse news came oitt during the day, more largely good railroad earnings than any thing else. The May icport of tho Now York Central camo up to all expectations, an Increase In both gross and net being shown, and Central stock, after nn early sagging tendency, became strong. Penn sylvania and Erie showed up well, as did several other smaller roada. Another encouraging Item was tho report that the 'unfilled tonnage statement of Uio Steel Corporation, to bo given out on the 10th, would show an Increase of approximately JOO.000 tons In Juno over May. Tho Lack awanna Coal Company declared an extra dividend of 60 per cent., this action being taken In carrying out tho Supreme Court's decision that tho coal company ! must not bo associated with the railroad company. WMie tno couon 'acreage, re ported by the Department of Agriculture today, waa smaller, the condition was good, and was about as expected. Sims of Improvement were shown after noon, but any advance was checked tem porarily at least by tho nppearnnce of forelro selling, which was heavy In both stocks and bonds. Moro transactions were recorded In stocks on tho sellers 15, 25 and SO basis than for somo time past, This liquidation kept the market In an Irregular rut throughout tho after noon. All In all. trading was of a vory listless charactor, and few commission houses seemed to have orders. For the .most part, prlco movements were nar row and Uo leading Issues exhibited only trifling changes. Weakness in Rumely shares nttracted some attention, tho common dropping nearly, 2 and the preferred over a points, following tho announcement of tho re organization plan, which calls for an assessment of (10 on the common and 517 on tho preferred shares, which is ex pected to ralso a working capital of $2, 000,000. Stock in the new corporation will bo given shareholders, but tho stock will bo scaled down materially. Among the few stocks which were Btrong were Miami Copper, which moved up 214 points beforo noon as tho result of an Increase In the dlvldond from SO , 10 7S cents ror mo quarter. A leap of 20 points in General Chemical .nnd an advance of over 8 nolnts In Amert- .i can Coal Products furnished tho features ;V ' In tho late trading. Temporary receipts of the new Now I V'Tferk City tVi per cent, bonds wcro ad- - routed to mo use, and uenungs in mum wera tho feature in ,the bond division, J171.0OO changing hands In the first two hours. They opened at 101 and later went to 101ft, about the same as transac tions havo been carried on on the Curb. 'By 2 o'clock o. total of $2-10,000 had been ..told.
