S o EASTERN MARKETS. % * New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, May 23.—To-day’s stock mar- ket was dull to the point of stagnation. The higher prices in London induced an improve- ment the opening here, but it was lost through mere inanimation. Until the last hour there was hardly enough motive power to show any direction in the movement, with the ex- ception of some special stocks. There was quite a demand for the National Lesd stocks, due to the expectation that the company would benefit from a proposed com- bination in an allied branch of the trade. The. American Linseed stocks rose on rumois of a | combination of the vegetable oil interests. The firmness of Amalgamated Copper, Anaconda and Smelting was due to the continued reports of the widening demand for raw copper. both here and abroad. The improvement In the cop- per trade is an influence extending far beyond the stocks immiedlately affected. The ullega- tion 1= made that the recent heavy exports of opper are going abroad, in part at least, & cks are, to get the benefit of the cheaper money rates over there for holding purposes. There was a_renewal of the recent strength in | but when thé® advance reached 1% it halied. Pacific Mail's 2%-point rise was unexplained. The George A. Fuller stocks made wide advances and the New York public utilitics and Colorado Fuel developed iste sirength, the latter rising 21%. The ap- rance of th week's movement of currency awakened more nimation than at any time during the day. Outelde of those stocks already mentioned, the ffect was mot notable except in St. Paul, * Tl Pacific and Atchison. The currency res indicate & net gain by the banks on the lor movement of mearly $5,000,000, which ix supplemented by & gain on sub-Treasury op- ¢ $565,000. Bankers are generally agreed that there has been a further heavy contraction of loans and reduction of depokit Canadian _ Pacific, labilities. 1t will be seen that the promise is 1 emely favorable bank statement. The yesponse in the stock market was very soderate. Possibly this was due to the fact hat the inward movement of currency has veen checked. New York exchange at Chicago fell back to-Gay to mear par, commpared with @0 cents premium early in the week. There wae transferred to-Gay through the sub-Treas- $200,000 to New Orleans, following the © amount transferred yesterday.

Railway earnings continue satisfactory, roads reporting for two weeks of May show gains of 6.1 per cent over last year and 1S.4 per cent over 1900. No change is reported In the iron and steel situation, former conditions merely becoming intensified by the threatened decrease in sup- plies of fuel and the labor controversies in cer- tain branches of the industry. The railroads are seeking rails, rolling stock and other equipment, while contractors require much structural material. Slight concessions are now obtafnable in some lines of footwear, although the market as a rule is fairly steady, but dull. Leather is firmly held, while domestic packer hides again made definite gains. Quiet conditions have prevailed in the cereal markets, with only a moderate volume of op- tion transactions and fractional changes in quotations. Exports of wheat, including flour, were only 3,863,003 bushels during the past | week, against' 5,523,130 bushels in the corre- | sponding week last year.

There were numerous bearish incentives, but ho bears were not inclined early to do much with them. Argentine shipments were liberally increased. The crop prospects were exception- lly good. In the last hour of business the bears took advantage of the epparent lack of nergy in the wheat market and put on pres- ure.~ Liguidation brought out some stop loss ordere; there was no export support, and prices slumped to a weak close, July %@%ec down at | 81.@73%c. Cern ruled the strongest of the pits until wheat broke. The small receipts were bullish in their effrcts and offerings were small, but crop prospects were too-good to- give the mar- ket any deciced bullish snap. Wheat had a veakening effect as the market grew dull. July closed weak %@%c lower at 61%e. Oats were the center of more interest than for several Gays past. The general tone most of the day was strong, but trade was light and the weakness in other grains worked gainst the early advance. July closed a shade lower at 3714@37%c.
