Th?e flgares are lc above those quoted by some of the exporters, and, In the absence of much actual business, may be considered nominal.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Finn Undertone, Imt Lack of Outside Interest. NEW TORK, July 0 Not much impres sion was produced on the stock market today by events, and the professional contingent, which conducted practically all the transac tions, fell again to very small proportions. The larger volume of dealings and the more im portant operations which characterized last week's market were not In evidence today. The failure of last week's attempt to attract outside Interest in the market by bidding up prices seems to have been a satisfactory dem onstration to that element that the period is not ripe for active speculation. Neverthe less the price movements of the day were quite wide, owing to the small floating sup ply of stock. The undertone of the market, too, was unmistakably firm. Even the sharp break in Brooklyn Transit, which stock led the market In point of activity, had Very Blight effect on the general list, although a few large gains In special stocks were in cluded in sympathy with It. Brooklyn Transit, at the low point, was 6 below the high point. The stock showed feeble resistance to tbe decline, the bears apparently turning the course of the stock as the chose. There was no news to explain the decline, but ru mors -were prevalent of a poor statement of earnings, to be made In the forthcoming report. The other local traction stocks were also under pressure, Metropolitan selling at one time points under Saturday, but rallying 3. Illinois Central rose at one time 3. and deal Ices la th stock were quite large. Unof- FINANCIAL NEWS flclal reports that the stock is to go on a 0 per cent basis were responsible for the rise. Louisville showed good recovery on the au thorized announcement that tomorrow's divi dend declaration Is to ha on a 4 -per cent 1 yearly basis. The grain-carrying roads were well taken all day. In anticipation of tomor row's monthly crop report, which is expected to show the Improved condition from rains In the Northwest. Baltimore & Ohio was a weak feature on the score of the Insignificant in-1 crease in tosb earnings, reported or Juno. The steel stocks were Inclined to Heaviness, TennesseeCoal losing 2 points. The bond market was dull, and changes mostly small and irregular. Total sales, par loJue, $050,000. New United States 4s -declined "4. and old 4s advanced H in tho bid price. BONDS. U.

Chlneso bonds rallied rapidly under the spur of buying by speculators. London showed an inclination to buy Americans, but the movement was checked when the absence of New Tork support was noticed.

Owing to the. three days' celebration, In Portland, bus iness on- the -Oregon Jalaing Stock Ex ehanea waa ausDende&for two daya-July 4and L DirinB41aa four active JSuslaes'a I dava 222.E02 shares -Of stOCK in uresonr.SOtQ mining companies changed hands on the. exchange. Everything considered, this1 is a most creditable showing and: speaks- well for tho Interest that is being daily manifested. May Queen "was again the most active! trader ior tne wees, jowoweu ciuaeiy-u? Helena and Helena No. 2; the latter two Btocks commanding about the same" amount of public attention. Lost Horse. Oregon-Colorado, Goldstone Consolldated and Buffalo received their share of notice. The demand for May Queen stock caused the shares to advance from 2c to 2ttc at which figure 15,000 shares were bought during the call Saturday, the closing quotation being 2c bid at 2c asked. We believe that share In this company will further advance, and our advice to those contemplating purchasing the stock Is to take advantage of the present quo tations a"nd profit by the future rise. . Helena Nto, 2 is being steadily taken up on thji floor as freely as Is offered. In fact the demand for the stock aeem3 to be greater than the supply, closing the week at 5c bid and 5&0 askod. "When this stock was listed, on the ex change we strongly recommended It as a nurchase. Those who followed our ad vice have made a profit of 43 per cent on their Investment in the last 21 days. The advance demonstrates that our Judg ment on this stock waa correct. We still recommend the purchase of Helena No. 2. The Dally Oregotilan of Friday reported a strike of fabulously rich ore just un covered In the Helena mine which caused the stock to advance that day. This re port was later in the- day verified by the officers of the company. Saturday more than upheld the prices of Friday, the stock closing at 23c bid and 29?c asked. The next dividend on this stock "will be paid July 25. This is another stock we recommended as a purchase, three weeks ago, when it was selling around "26c, and have con tinued to do so in all our market letters. During our many years' bpent In hand ling gold mining stocks including" eight ye'ars In Cripple Creek -we have never seen anything that gave the investors' as much assurance as does Helena. The history of all fortunes made In, mining stocks Is that, the foundation was laid by those having confidence while the property was In Its infancy. We know of one company In Cripple Creek whoso stock a few years ago was selling around 5c per share, but are now selling at better than $5.00 and paying a monthly dividend of 2c per Bhare. It Is no sxag geratlon when we saythat Ave years ago the showing on this property was no bet ter than that on iqany of the properties whose stock is selling here between 2c and 5c per share. In our opinion, no state, in the Union' possess greater mineral wealth than Ore gon, and we are glad to note that others are coming to the same belief. European, and American "Women.

It Is the rustic stock in Europe as well as in America that fur nishes the Dase of the growing urban mind. Without a steady supply of re cruits from the country, the cities would dissipate.

France" Railroad to the Soudan, Chicago News The- answer -of France to the "Cape to Cairo" watchword, of England Is "To the Soudan without change of cars." This dream Is vouched for as to its practicabil ity by M.

France must first se cure the, consent at-Spaln,. and, while at flrsjf glance this, would seem Impossible, when it Is considered the latter would "reap a large profit from" having all the traffic between.

The cost of the proposed tunnel is es timated at 123,000,000-francs, or less than the drainage channel cost Chicago, so that on the ground of expense there Is no reason why the scheme should not be realized, especially as it would Immense ly benefit both Spain and France. But even this project does not exhaust the alluring possibilities of the theme by 'French engineers, one of whom says: "The projected railway along the north ern coast of Africa will extend to Cairo and the Isthmus of Suez. There another tunnel will be cut under the Suez Canal itself, and the railroad will continue on triumphantly along the shores of the Persian Gulf, on, on, across the conti nent of Asia to Bombay."
