and 30 in Canada against 22 last Bradstreets Financial Review New York July Bradstreets financial review tomorrow wH say The decline in the stock market which began last Tuesday was the natural result of the accumulation of weak holdings of long stocks and to the plans to realize profits The declines were not dlsproportioned to the extent of the preceding advances in the more I active members of the list and at the concessions a considerable bu buying power reasserted itself The liquidation liquida-tion and profit taking once exhausted the market steadied Itself and isel presented pre-sented unmistakable indications that I thfe accumulation of stocks was once I mpre under way The growing factor 1 tIn j the market is the widespread bullish I speculative sentiment that had arisen from the expected ending of uncertainty uncer-tainty about the tariff together with I the favorable crop prospects and the general feeling in railroad circles that I a period of Improving traffic and earn ings is at hand Current railroad earnIngs earn-ings continue to show only a iioJerate improvement though the figures cf the Burlington road for May with an increase in-crease of 200000 in surplus overcharges over-charges was better than expected More or less bullish talk however comes from higher railroad circles and the insiders in a number of cases are credited with buying and supporting their stocks The western roads it Is declared are holding rates with remarkable re-markable vigor and only minor disagreements dis-agreements exist while the traillc departments de-partments are straining their energies to put equipment in order for heavy summer and autumn traffic The resolution reso-lution of the trunk line authorities restore eastbound rjates has been noted fwlth approval The Grangers is the object of the preceding advance bore the brunt of the realizing and other selling On Wall Street New York July 2A veritable midsummer mid-summer dullness settled upon the market mar-ket for securities today and a further step was taken toward the stagnant condition to which the market has been coming for two days past Dealings Deal-ings were Very much smaller than yesterday yes-terday or for many days past variations vari-ations were small and unimportant and no animation was manifest at any ooint in the market The heavy liquidation of Monday and Tuesday was undoubtedly an Indication Indica-tion of a widespread conviction that the upward movement had reached the limits of safety at present and todays market showed even a more marked disposition than yesterdays to wait for an adjustment to the new conditions The waiting and the semistagnation were accompanied by quite a marked firmness of tone In nearly all the leading lead-ing stocks Most of the business of the day was I done in the first hour of trading as a result of orders accumulated overnight over-night Business was generally centered In the leading mortgages but It is worthy wor-thy of note that no
