The stu pendous rise of 41 point* on July yester day, a fitting capstone to the most re markable advance on record, was followed this morning by a sheer drop of 2! points The later options showed corresponding records from the perpendicular uplift of the past few weeks. Liquidation wss sadly the main feature of speculation, though short selling was much In favor early in the session, crop reports were still very bullish In the last hour the market was quiet, with values up from the bottom on real ising by last night’s sellers. July closed 9.71 c, then rallied to 9 78c, August opened off II points at 9.48 c. then fell to 9.33 c. ad vanced to 9.49 c, and then fluctuated with in a range of ten points.

New York, June 30.—T0-day’s stock market showed clearly that operators in stocks have resigned themselves to a pe riod of waiting and dullness following the abortive bull movement yesterday. Deal ings were on an insignificant scale end the market was almost immovable during the greater part of the session. The droop ing tendency in the wheat and cotton mar kets had the effect of stiffening quota tions for some of the railroad 3tocks which opened depressed on the score of probable erbp damage. Prices had dropped back somewhat when the appearance of the bank statement caused some covering by room shorts. The market was, how ever, so feeble that there were some reces sions, making the close irregular and very dull. The loan item of the bank statement confirmed the forecast of those dispatches that the liquidation of sterling loans was probably keeping pace with the demand for new loans to provide for the July 1 settlements. This i the only possible ex planation of the decrease in the loan ac count ot .$1,557,300. The increase in cash of $649,200 also fulfills the expectation that some of the week’s, requirements for cash had already been anticipated in last week's bank statement. With the semi-annual settlement period thus comfortably tided over, the confi dence is reasonable that the disbursement after July 1 of the large dividend and in terest payments will Insure an adequate supply of loanable funds to meet the coming demands for the crop movement. The bond market has furnished a better index than the stock market of the com ing ease in money and continued firm to day as it has been all weak. The total safes of stocks to-day were 63,- 600 shares, including 8,435 Atchison pre ferred and 5.550 Sugar. New York Stock List.

Wjlllam Kelly ft Son have given estimates on the work, but It in not understood arrangement* have yat been mode to have It done. Transfer of G. A A Freight. The transferring of local freight of the Georgia and Alabama from Its receiving warehouses between Barnard and Mont gomery streets to this terminal property, will be done by the Smith ft Kelly Com pany. Two large covered lighters have Just been completed for this purpose, and It is understood others will be covered shortly, which will give the company live lighters, with which to carry on the work. This will give every facility for the prompt and satisfactory handling of tile local freight. It is understood the company hae entered into contract to transfer ioeul freight for six months. General Manas r Gabbett stales that at the expiration of this time the company will either arrange to transfer with its own bouts, or renew its contract with tiie lighterage company.

Com; an and with these forensic veterae a lawsuit which has survived five ceott rles only is compara Ively a callow youtl hut, as it is still fijurishlng tltofe *ft hop's that it may yet qualify for a plat among ’legal Methuselahs."

For more than thri centuries Hits case has dragged It* weal length through Bavarian courts, and ht brought grist to the mills of ten geaeri tlons of lawyers, and still It i‘emasna 4 unsettled as w hen it began its cent at march. • v’ < ; , J Just at the time when Cook wax alar trig on his first journey round the wor4 atxl while sVordworth and Scott wore ta even ready for the cradle, a HtMgarla bishop died in’estate, and hundreds < clamorous relatives claimed his largo tales.
