There Was No Special News to Influence Prices Either Way. 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.
