General disappointment among bulls at the small amount of bonds purchased by the Secre tary of the Treasury yesterday caused a dis position to sell to-day. which was taken advan tage of by the bears to hammer certain stocks, and the market for the day was weak, though dull There was no special news of importance to affect values, and dealings wore almost en tirely professional, brokers were sellers, as were also the bear cliques, while buying was scattering and principally by sellers upon yes tfnuiy’B rise. The clui’f weak Htockfl were Pacific Mail and Missouri Pacific, the former still feeling the effect of the proposed reduction in its capital stock, and the latter by reports of rate troubles In the .Southwest, but New Eng land, Richmond and West Point, and some others were also prominently weak at times. The character of the operations rendered fluc tuations in the general list of little importance, but everything was heavy except Western Union which was remarkably well held, and stands alone among the active stocks in show lug slight advances this evening, the opening was somewhat more animated than yesterday, but wan weak at declines, which extended to U per cent The market was heavy, but no special progress was made in a downward direction, except In Pacific Mail, which suddenly broke, \W per cent until toward noon, when Missouri Pacific New England, and some of the special ties joined tho first named stock In the decline, the market at the tithe displaying more anima tion than at any other time during the day. The market then became almost stagnant, with extremely narrow fluctuations, and finally closed dull and heavy at slight fractions better than the lowest figures of the day.

Green & Co.'s report on cotton futures savs: “An absence of orders keeps the market within the narrow channels of local trade, and matters are again very stupid. About the only outside feature to-day was a slightly better showing at Liverpool, and this may possibly account for 3 to 4 points fuller bids obtained. But even this small advance could not be fully supported, and the close was slow and tame all around. Southern advices generally were without change, and there was nothing in the crop ac counts that could Ik* taken advantage of by either bull or bear.

There were two reasons: first, the markets are just now in a sort or low rut, from which no great efforts are being made to lift them; sec ond, the new rules providing severe penalties against brokers doing busings for loss than the regular commissions went into effect this morn ing. The*e rules remain to be thoroughly tried, and there is a stubborn minority, with de cided views, who not only voted against rhe high commission departure, but also kick against working under them. Such members were conspicuous more on account of talking than trading to-day. Heemed to justify them to a certain extent. Messenger boys stood idly in groups, and a few of tlndr stirill voices were beira calling for traders. There was a decided let-up in outside orders, and some of the more rampaut opposers of the new rules declared that such messages as Were wired to-day wen* largely to close deals. It was easily ob.->efvable that many usually'busy trad ers bad turned their backs on the pit. Not much was doing in wheat, tie* trade* dragging slowly most of the day. Though the feeling de veloped was quite firm early, later it became weak ujnrter freer si**culativo offerings. The early firmness was attributed to the existence of a’fair exi>ort demand and to sympathy with the advance in com, The market opened at about yesterday** closing figures, declined 14c, then advanced again *ased off, and later, under free offerings, declined Uc and closed about %c lower than yesterday. There seemed to be less falling off in corn orders than in other grains, and the market tulml quite active, ex hibit ing a firmer tone, and values ruled stronger. There was a good local demand, several promi nent houses buying piute freely. No outside news of importance won received, and the mar ket was governed to a considerable extent by local influence*. Price* opened a shade easier than yesier.tay** closing, became firm , r and ad vanced J 4e, reacted anrl declined then be came strong and advanc' and with slight changes 9£<&lc, ruled irregular and closed higher for September and higher lor October and May than yesterday** elosiug prie*s. It was a rather tame an*l uninteresting market for oats and the nip*ugth develojjed in speculative values was attributable almost entirely to the higher range of the corn market. Trading was largely iocul and business scarcely reached an average volume. Cash oats on the regular market and for August delivery were unebunged, but Sep tember closed %c % and more deferred V4e high r. Fluctuations were within tyc range. In nrovls ion* the duv was almost, featureless in the way of speculation, as well as in the movement of cash property. Th*re was no activity at auy time to awaken any interest, and from tin* opening to the close there wan no unusual de velopment to speak of for the different deliver ies traded in.
