OTHER ISSUES ARE STEADY Buyers XTnwilling to Follow Recent Sharp Advance, but All Offer- 1 -! lngs Are "Well Taken. Net Changes Small. NEW TORK. July 17. The net result of today's-trading In stocks, so far as changes In the level of prices were concerned, was small. It was apparent from the outset that the market would not hold to the pace set yesterday, when quotations rose sharp ly in all quarters. The close found many pf the Important stocks showing small losses. Stocks were well taken at concessions, but there was a falling off in the demand and buyers were unwilling to follow the market upward. Unexpected complications In the negotiations between Eastern railroads and their employes may have exercised some sentimental influence. The petroleum shares were exceptionally weak. California Petroleum sold down five points to 22 ii and the preferred dropped six points to 52. Mexican Petroleum, at showed a loss of 4. One explana tion given of the weakness of these shares was that the closing out of loans by a local bank had necessitated selling of pe troleum stocks which had been put up as collateral. With the approach of the crop-moving seaso'n with Its heavy demand for money, it was pointed out, banks will be compelled to draw tighter lines in regard to extend ing credit on stock exchange collateral. Bonds were steady. Total shares, par val ue, $1,337,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Reported by J. C. Wilson & Co., Lewis building, Portland.
