A veritable midsum mer dullness i-euled upon tho market lor securities today and a further step was taken towards tho stagnant condition to which the maikct has seemed to be com ing for two days past. There was no feature of significance of Importance dur ing the day. Dealings were very much smaller than yesterday or for many days past, variations weie small and unimpor tant and no animation was manifested at any point In tho market. Tho pros pect of only half a day of trading tomor row, followed by a double holiday doubt less had Its effect in curtailing operations and discouraging ventures upon new op erations. Tho waiting and tho seml stagnatlon were nccotnpanled by qulto a marked firmness of ton in nearly all the leading stocks. The total sales- of all stocks for the day foil below 150,000 shares. Four-soenths of this amount was cred ited to St. Paul, Sugar, Burlington and Chicago Gas. None of tho leading stocks ranged as widely as a point, except Sugar and the leading industrial stocks and some of tho coalers. Tho small net changes are divided between gains and losses In tho prominent stocks. Totals sales of stocks today were 183,523 shares.
