Show IfiKET IS DULL Volume of Business Too Small to Be of Value in Estimating Esti-mating Conditions. REPORTS OP RAILROADS NOT VERY SATISFACTORY Bank Statement Shows Large Increase in Loans Made During Week. By Associated Press. NEW YORK, Aug. 20. On tho stock exchange tho volume of business was small oven for a half-holiday, and while the tendency continued Irregular tho movement was so nai?ow as to rob it of all significance. London took a holiday. Reports issued by the commercial agencies agen-cies ranged from indifferent to favorable, some lines of trade showing a better tono, with others at a standstill. Tho Northern Pacific railway submitted Its figures for the fiscal year, showing large Increases in freight and passenger revenues, which were largely offset by an Increase of JS.000,000 In total operating' operat-ing' expenses, the whole leaving a decrease de-crease in the total net revenues of 51,-729.20G. 51,-729.20G. and an operating incroasc of $2,803,372. Lehigh Valley yearly year-ly report was rather more satisfactory. Its total net revenue Increasing S1.92S.000. . Tho bank statement showed large Increases In-creases In loans, both in the average and the actual tables, and under the latter system an expected cash gain of flvo or more millions was turned into a loss of over S2.S00.000. Last week's surplus was reduced from ?55,743,350 to 552, 832,575. but tho statement as a whole makes more than an ordinarily satisfactory comparison compari-son with corresponding periods. The bond market was Irregular. Total sales, par value, 5709,500. United States government 3s advanced H per cent and the 4s per cent on call. New York Bonds.
