Theie was more Miengtli It) Hie Mock nmiket In the liuir-Juy'n trndltiir'tliHii wus Indlcnted In the olumc of business nnd the Irregular price movements. It wiu evident that United .States Steel rommon In being constantly absorbed by strong Interests. That stock showed nn nrivnnclng tendency whenover bear pressure diminished, but the two hours' trading did not result In much recorded ' gain, as the speculative clement persistently offered tlio stock whenever the demand showed decreased vigor. Tho same thing could be said about Heading. In which buying ordcis ton llnunlly conic In, causing upturns frequently during the half day and making the stock maintain the high level established In the previous day's trading Many of the lower-priced railroads, Including Southern Hallway, were also In good demand, and there was broadened interest shown In New York Central, which was one of tho strongest features of the first hour. United .States Steel common advanced more than 1 point to IIS?, but leaded .from this price before the close. Mexican Petroleum made a gain of nearly 3 points to 91, and the Hitgnr stocks were In good demand nt advancing prices, with both Cuba Cane Sugar and Oubaii-Anieilcaii .Sugar making sub stantial gains. ' The greatest weakness was shown In People's !as. which lespoudcd to the decrease In the dividend rate to 4 per cent per annum with u break of 9 Vi points to 81, followed by u moderate rally. The dividend reduction was attributed to the high cost of material and leealls reference to the high cost of coal In connection with the recent offerings of Consolidated (Jas of Xew York and public utilities generally. The boardroom was surprised shoitl aflei the opening by the announce ment of the suspension of Morris & Pope. The senior member of the film Is one of the line of tne Motrin family that has been prominent In New York city affairs for more than 300 yenrs, and he was estimated as having a fortune of more than $5,000,000. The family was known all through tho countiy because of Mr. Morris's owneishlp of tho old Morris Park race track. Stock Exchange officials stated that the liabilities of the firm wetc small, but no definite Information as to causo nf the suspension was obtained. There was heavy trading again today In foreign (iovcrnnicnt bonds, with United Kingdom notes making fractional gains, Pennsj Ivnnln I'h were active at ! and 07'.
