New York, Aug. 23.—Th* course of today's
dealings emphasised the view which has
now become quite general that the market
Is settling down to h term of dullness.
There was a little business In the first
quarter of au hour, then- the life went out
of the trading altogether, nnd for the rest
of the forenoon the market Iny hlmnst stag
nant. Union rnclflc and St. Paul fell n
point a piece from yeaferday'a finals, nud
other stocks dropped off fractionally. The
losses were due, however! more to the mar
ket's luertln than tn any real pressure of
stocks for sale, In the judgment of actlva
traders, the Met that there had been no
outside response to the buying of the pre
vious days nud that the nhort Interest
had !»e*n greatly reduced were the essential
points In the Immediate situation. Re
ports of the transfer of 81.000.000 currency
to the West nud South through the sul>-
treasury, the largest consignment made
In *thln way this aentoon, had some depress
ing effect upon the market.
