New Yoik, July 11. Toihy's stock market
was but a dull and uninteresting affair and

total silcs of tin' da, and the greater part of
even these stock dealings took phce in the
forenoon when the bull interests were -.till
making futile etforts to continue tho advance.
The- pressure of profit taking which met the
adianee when last night's level of prices was
appioaehed discouraged the attempt and the mar
ket was allowed to latisc Into an almost lifclcsj
state. Small us the ottcrings weie, they weie

night's level. The (irangirs, and some of the

The steel stocks became notabl) weak late in
