WILLSON, Local Forecast Official, temporarily in charge. i n e ' 3 EASTERN MARKETS. in fresh * New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, June 13.—The pressure to sell stocks was effectual in breaking through re- sistance in the market to-day and carrying the | general level of prices to a materlally lower basis. There were a few spots of strength per- sisting and there were occasional successful ef- forts to check the decline, which resulted in rallies, by driving the room shorts to cover. | The bull element in the market by no means abandoned it to the bears, and at recurring | periods, when the selling had spent its force, there was alert readiness to bid up prices. Not- withstanding all devices, however, the sefling was renewed in force in the final dealings and carried prices to the lowest of the day, ex- | cept for those stocks which had manifested | some strength. The closing was quite active | and weak. The most potent influence in the market was the condition engendered as to the real status of the most discussed St. Paul deal, Investigation by independent authorities elicited | the opinion that negotiations, as was candidly admitted for bringing St. Paul withip the scope of the community of interest working out in the Western rallroad world, but many of the specific assertions which have been set afloat by the very large speculative contingent which is making the St. Paul project the medium for their operations were stripped to pieces. The most important of these was vesterday's assertions that 4 per cent bonds were to be offered for St. Paul at the equivalent of 200, To-day's version of the project carried it no further than an effort to secure the co-opera- | tion of the Morgan-Hill holdings in St. Paul with the Harriman-Kuhn-Loeb holdings in ex- change for co-operation of the holdings of the latter interest with those of the former in Northern Pacific. The holdings of the Morgan-Hill syndicate in St. Paul dating back to the efforts to secure control previous to the purchase of Burlington are known to be large. Another well defined rumor had it that a hitch had occurred in the contract alleged to have been made to sell a large block of St. Paul stock to Union Pacific. St: Paul declined nearly five points.as a re- sult of these rumors and Unlon Pacific three, and closed within a small fraction of the low- est. Missouri Pacific suffered from realizing on the ground that all the good news regarding the stock was out and the independent steel companies were sufferers from the same cause, the decline in Colorado Fuel reaching 10 and in Tennessee Coal 5%. Amalgamated Copper. re- acted 3% from yesterday's upward spurt, but rallied strongly on the hopes of a judiclal de- cision to-day in favor of the company's merger project. The rally was mostly lost in the re- aition "of the market. The active exchange market was explained by the selling of bilis against further intended gold shipments, which will go out on Thursday to Germany. It is expected that the shipment will reach 32,000,000 at leasi. The reduction in the German bank rate to-day is explained by the unusually strong position of that Institution and was taken in its quasi-public character as a Government inati- tution to ease the condition of distrust of finan- cial circles in Berlin. The call loan rate here stiffened to § per cent again to-day. The stocks which showed strensth were influenced entirely by individual causes. The firmness of United States Steel was based on the declaration of dividends by subsidiary companles. The newly | listed Distilling Company of America stocks were advanced two and three points respectives B for the commen and preferred o slgnaliae the first transactions In the stocks on the ex- change. 7he bond market was moderately active and irregular. Total sales, value, ~ $1,000, United n;!nm Bonds were a1l unchahged 1o 1e nst call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. o 1 Sold.

London Market. NEW YORK. June 18.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial weblegram says: A general exodus to the Ascot races thinned the attendance on the floor of the Stock Exchange here to-day. The tone of the market was dull and even the American department that has of late shown activity in otherwise lifeless trad- ing was dull with the rest. American stocks opened generally heavy on fears that there may soon be a monetary stringeney in New York. Prices steadily sagged from the opening in the absence of support, Atchison, St. Paul and Unicn Pacific being particularly dull. There vas, however, some buying in of Northern Pa- cific at 130.

Wheat opened %@%c lower at 10@i0%c for July, on depressed cables and continuation of conditions favorable to the growing crop. Covering by shorts caused an advance to 70%c, the high point of the day. Bradstreet's statement of the world’s visible supply was a disappointment to bulls, showing 133,000 bushels increase, instead of a large de- crease, and under free offerings the market de. clined to 6%c. Good shipping demand to- gether with reports of too much rain in Kan- sas brought about a rally toward the close and final figures for July were firm and unchanged at 70%c. The corn pit was quiet, with a notable ab- sence of selling orders. Closed %@%c improved for July, steady. Oats were active and received considerable support from the interests which were the best sellers vesterday. July closed steady and | unchanged at 25%c. An_active and eager demand for lard gave the provision market a strong tone, carrving up prices of pork and ribs to a strong ciose. Buying of lard was on such a scale that shorts took alarm and helped by their purchases to swell the prices as well as the volume of trad- ing.
