NEW YORK, July 26 —Speculative confl- @ence was sensibly shaken by the action of to-day s stock market, which gave the first fn- Cications of urgent liquidation since the recent rise was inaugurated. Up to this time the ac- tion of the market has all been to show a firm | undertone, even after the evident culmination On account of | of the rise and the adoption of a waiting at- titude by the professional operators who had | toliowed the advance. To-day, on trary, the undertone was weak. greater activity throughout the day was dur- ing the period of declines. On the occasional railies there was a quick lapse into dulincss. That s to say, buyers were steadfast in re- fraining from accepting offers except with ma- terial concessions, and sellers “seemed disposed 15 make the concessions in order to realize on their holdings. - This served to upset the exist- ing faith of those determined to hold stocks. The lightening of loads to-day had the effect of arcusing a suspicion that the accumulators the con- T SS72 | were finding _difficulty in distributing _their 6% | hoidings to advantage. There was disappoint- ment aiso at the small demand for stocks met -xrx—n ® although the sterling market was quieter to—db:y bl.vv e hl‘rin fears 'e‘;‘ & Russ ction might fs- oo in sorme. overt mcl ot hostiiity M would start an international A widespread Influence was dnn-l both in the wheat and stock markets curb produced the weakest period Exchange.
