The operations of today's stock market offered little lu the way of novelty from the set program of the immediately preceding session. There was the usual short-lived rally nt the outset. After that the bear con tingent continued their recent tactics of hitting at tho hlsh spots with the hopes of not only uncovering further weak ness, but also with the purpose of start ing a generAl liquidating movement in order that they may be able to get out of some of their short lines with a profit. Increasing dullness in a declin ing market is not a condition altogether relished by tho bearish contingent. When the ultraprofcsslonal caliber of the current speculation Is taken Into consideration the day-to-day scalping operations arc deprived of murh of their significance. Yet today, as well nt in Foinc of the recent sessions, in disputa ble testimony was furnished showing the liquidating movement had not ns yet run Its course. This not only applied to the so-called unseasoned issues, but also to many industrial shares as well, where the wartime inflation methods nre beginning to show evidence of being overworked. The pausing, hesitating and wobbling character of the market could hnrdly be attributed to the Polish news, which altogether today was of n much more reassuring character. Neither was there anything else in the line of news or developments which could bo consid ered of a specially disturbing character. Hut the market plainly lacked sustain ing power, for as soon ns the desultory covering of the shorts stopped the same drooping tendency reappeared, followed by spasmodic drives on the part of the bear crowd in different parts of the list. The promising rnlly at the opening was quickly nipped in the bud when the sugar group gave way under increasing selling pressure, which undoubtedly was influenced by the semidemoralUed stnto of the raw sugar market, which seems to be following tho same line of least resistance as tho other oyerlnflated com modities. , 'From the sugar shares tho selling movement extended to the leather and metnl issues. American Iteet Sugar fell ..V, points. American Sucnr. 1M, : National Lead. 'Ja4. and Hide nnd Leather and Kndieott -Johnson, 1 point each. Tills was offset by supporting orders in the high-priced petroleums, independent steels, equipments and motors nnd their accessories, among which advances over yestculay s final prices ranged from 1 to almost 3 points. The tone of the market became irregular again before noon when renewed weak ness developed among the cheaper oils, but improved temporarily duriug the intermediate session, with Hcplogle Steel and Pittsburgh Coal us the out standing features. Another setback oc curred later, however, when Uie active equipments lost ground. Ualdwin and American Locomtivc and American Cur declining 1 to 2 points.

The acute dullness of the trading reach ed nlmcEt n point of complete stagna tion. Ker tht most part dealings were wholly perfunctory. Tho lack of interest was not surprising in view of the re stricting, as well as, depressing sur rounding influence, not to speak of the large number of absentees because of the midsummer vacutions.
