ON STOCK EXG..AN6E Slock Market Yesterday Was a Dull Affair With Exception ol Three or Four Securliks. UNION PACIFIC ACTIVE FEATURE Amalgamated Copper and Reading AI 6o Showed Up Well But Rest of The List Wae Sluofjish?Crop Re-, poits Arc Favorable?Total Sales] And Closing Quotations. NKW YORK, .Inly I?.?Tile stock ntarkol 01 today was a dull affair und had all the usual characteristics 61 ih?' midsummer period. There was some activity in three or four storks, hut it the slutt'oa of these uro deducted from the sales of the day the remainder is Inslgulflcniit. Union Pact lie was the actlvd feature and Its sales make up an Important pro pen inn of tlio day's business. The movement in Union Paciih- also was a dominating Inlluoncc on the narrow movement or ihr whole market. Amalgamated Copper ami Reading made up another liriportonl propor? tion of the small dealings of tin- day. The general movement was sluggish and hesitating in conformity witli ihe linrowncss of the market. The report of the reduction of (piotutlons at the Now Vork metal CXClu^ngO was the signal for a decid? ed setback la stocks. Other Infill lines won- scanty. The continued easing of tin.' cull money market soothed any immediate apprehension on that score. The foreign exchange market yielded further and lessened the probability of a resumption of gold exports, opinion on the money outlook was affected by the call for a 20 per cent syndicate Installment on the Union Pacific convcrtlbl bonds to be paid on Monday next which will call for nearly $14.000,000. A quick return of these funds to the money market Is cxpoctod. The weekly bulletin of the wealber bureau was favorable in Its showing of crop conditions. The Juno ex? ports of agricultural products was re? ported nearly unchanged from la it year, a decline In cotton exports bal? ancing a rise In value of bread sttllfs. Prices rose rapidly in tlio last half tlbtll to Die best of the day. Itonds were steady. Total .eitea today 485,500 shares. including: Copper 511,000; Sugar 30; TobaccoO 200; A. ('. L 100; C, ?

Military tuen of all countries have repeatedly declared that Napoleon's lust campaign was admirably planned niid, up to Waterloo, admirably ex i edited. Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo not because of any twist In Ills bralll; but because of the rain that fell on the night of tin- 17th of June i nud the incompctcucy or treachery of Orouehy.
