Bar sitver higher in New YotR and London. " NKW YORK, July 27. The market today ytas almost wholly of a professional character, with bears MUtng &t the opening and then devoting their efforts to buying back Btocks later Jij the day. There was sonio foreign selling today, causing a number of the stanU me stocks to Bell at lower levels, but tho trading was too largo for the narrow pwculatlvo Interest and there was tittle room In which the bear traders could turn. They made the most of a lack of response to' the United States Steel state ment urn! endeavored to depress other stocks by alluding to tho price of United States Steel common compared with its current earnings. These allusions, how vtr", wero without effect. Whether United States Steel common Is selling com paratively low or not the earnings of all tho corporations lUted on the Exchange ar so good as to leave bear traders without any incentive except that which they juy draw from their imaginations. The character of the market was showj) by tho manner In which Sears, Roebuck mado an advance of 7 points, crossing 200, and by the way recoveries ytW9 made after declines In St. Paul, Heading and Industrial Alcohol, There was concentrated Belling of tho railroad stocks arount) midday, but apart from tho BUpply coming from tho bearish traders there were no offerings at concessions and the result of tho day's operations In total was a further depletion of nn already scant supply in tho general list. Monoy conditions are unusually easy for this time of the year, and whatever may come In the way of a railway union vote may prove to havo been already discounted. Thcro are many intimations in good sources thnt In tho period of apparent uncertainty many Btocks have p .nc Into strong hands, and a demonstra tion of bullish power may be closo at hn.iJ. I Solvay Process Declares Extra Dividend SYRACUSE, N. Y. .July 27. The Solvay Process Company' declared tho reg ular quarterly dividend of 2 per cent and 5 per cent extra, payable August 15.
