The New York circular of Henry Clews says: “As to the immediate course of prices it #hould not be forgotten that they are already high; some stocks have soared to dizzy | hts and are better left alone by the un- | wary. On the other hand it must be admitted | there are few bearish elements in the situa- tion; in fact, almost none, except the high prices of certain stocks and the possibility of friction developing in some of the big deals | now under way, which would precipitate sharp | reactions, the Northern Pacific slump being ill a smarting reminder. With easy money, | July disbursements, good crops, large railroad | » and good general business in sight. s every prospect that the market will | gradually harden and improve if left to itself. | What it will_do under manipulation remains to be seen. The speculative spirit is abroad s likely to follow any good lead until some nt or reaching the exhaustion point in- ces a setback. Easy money is likely to pre- vail until the crop demand begins in August. t week's drop in the bank reserves was a rise, but as this was due to transfers con- ed with important stock deals it exerted temporary effect. In all the principal ey markets of Europe easy rates prevail, as illustrated by the reduction of the Bank of England rate to 3 per cent, and with increasing supplies of gold from the Kiondike and the vaal in addition to other liberal supplies there is little prospect of any immediate strin- gency. The June Government crop report indi- cated a heavy wheat crop in sight with the possibility of beating the record. Some esti- mates went as high as 653 millions and others tilions. Last year we had a crop of only millions, so that we are comparatively sure nother year of prosperity for the farmers he railroads, with a liberal margin for damage from weather conditions. The erful demand for iron and steel has car- ried us into a new record for their manufacture, is now going on at a rate of over 300,600 per week in excess of last year's great ut. And in the face of this stocks at fur- s show a decrease. Railroad earnings con- tinue to make very handsome gains; hence con- fidence 1n railroad securities is well maintained, even at present high' prices. The latter are, as every one knows, very largely due to the eat consolidation movement which is rapidly placing our railroads in the control of a few and insuring more stable conditions of road management. Speculative operators f course, using this leverage on the mar- r all it is worth, and while stocks are so v concentrated in strong hands as at esent, their’ ability to lift prices is unusual. uld be remembered, however, that the big mer have stocks to sell, and that as heretofore they will lessen their holdings on a rising mar- ket This transfer of stocks from strong hands 1o weaker ones is the danger point that must be watched, and we are constantly drawing Bearer to W eather Report.

NEW YORK, June 19.—The decided activity in to-day’s stock market reflected doubts and hesitation 1n the epeculative mind. The many snd various fluctuations seemed to represent 25 much as anything the efforts of professional traders to discover the actual condition of the market by a testing process. There was un- doubtedly a considerable amount of speculative manipulation, but the professional brokers also had their share in the Weakness of the market, | as was quite conclusivel shown by the sub- | stantial rally late in the day when they began to lock for stocks to cover their short contracts and found a limited supply. The late rally was achieved, however, on a light volume of deal- ings, the bidding up process by the profession- 2] bulls against the efforts of the bears to cov- | r baving its share in the movement. It wili be seen that a large proportion of the trading was congested in a few stocks, Which also showed the widest price fluctuations. St. Paul was conspicuous in this class and the appre- hension that much of the recent rumors regard- ing developments in Rkat stock was purely con- jectural had much to do not only with the movement but with the generally unsettied tone of the trading. Therc was seemingly good au- thority cited to-day for assertions that it was mot contemplated at all to affect any actual sbsorption or legal yassage of control of St. Paul or any interchange of the stock for new bids. The absorption of a part of St. Paul by other rival interests may go far toward con- cerning the safety of the general rallroad situ- ation, but a question arises as to the increase that would result in the investment value of St. Paul stock itself. The absorption of large | amounts of stock puts it in a technical posi- tion to be easily maripulated, owing to the large reduction In the -floating supply and the plausibility giyen to rumors regarding the plans of the stock. The extreme decline in the afternoon reached 2% below last night. Union Pacific moved in sympathy. The ex- ports of _gold - anncunced to-day reached only $1,250,000, leaving the week's ship- ments below §5,000,000. A further - out- g0 is not lookad for. The recogni- tion of this fact has something to do with the later rally of the stock market. The violent slump in Colorado Fuel of 17 points and a sym- pathetic reaction inTennessee Coal of 4% under last night were due to doubts cast upon recent assertions that the company would be ab- rorbed by the United States Steel Corporation. St. Louis and San Francisco rose 3% over last night late i the day, apparently as a result of the rights offered to stockholders in consid- eration of subscription to a cash fund. A num- ber of industrials, including American Tobacco, gave evidence of strength without any exhibi- tion. The bond market was quite heavy and irreg- ular. Total sales, par value, 1,365,000, United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stocks— Atchison . Atchison prefd Baltimore & Ohi Shares Closing Bid.

NEW YORK, June 19.—The Commercial Ad- vertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock market to-day was an idle one, with quotations dropping everywhere. Ameri- can issues are retrograded with the rest. Old- ' time conditions of stagnation were in evidence | after the first hour's feeble trading. The open- ing wi weak on fears that the monetary con- ditions may develop some stringency. The market held dull and inert after the early decline, with no fresh movement until late in the affernoon, when New York purchases of Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Union Pa- cific, Atchison and United States Steel Cor- poration caused a better finish.

On covering of a line of shorts by a local operator the,crowd followed the lead, causing & falr upturp, but the ad- vance was not well maintained’ Toward the close there was a good cash and export de- mand, which gave encouragement to the bulls, Rains in the Southwest, where harvesting is in full swing, caused some timidity among the shorts. September opened 3c lower at 68%c to 68ic and, after going to 63@69%c, closed & shade lower at 68%c. Business in the corn pit was moderately ac- tive, with buyers largely in the majority dur- ing the greater part of the day. Country of- ferings continue very small and this fact, combined With light Teceipts, was responsible for the strength apparent during most of the session. September opened unchanged at 443c to 44%c and on fair demand by local shorts the price advanced to 45c. The market sagged toward the close at 445%@44%c.

BOSTON, June 19.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: There is a steady fair average business in progress in the wool market with the tendency, if anything, toward an improvement. Some houses report the trade as very quiet, but others note an increase in the inquiry with quite an amount of wool moving. Consumers are buying wools only as they need them and cannot be induced to do otherwise, but it is believed that their needs are steadily but surely becoming greater with the improvement in the goods sit- vation and as the opening of the light-weight season draws nearer they will naturally be more liberal purchasers of wool. As vet there has been no advance in prices and any attempt to secure an advance usually puts a stop to business. Medium and low wools are still sell- ing at low figures, but fine wools continue very steady and are fully as firm as previously noted. Territory wools are selling at practically the same prices as those previously noted—i0@42c. In Oregon large sales have been made within the past two weeks. At Pendleton about half a millio pounds were sold in cne week at prices ranging from 2@10%:c per pound. At The Dalles large sales are reported as having been made to Boston par- ties in the past week. The sales of the week in Boston amounted to 2,182,000 pounds domestic and 300,000 pounds forelgn, making a total of 3,182,000 pounds, against a total of 3,305,000 pounds for the previous week, and a total of 1,484,000 pounds for the corresponding week of last year. The sales since January 1 amount to 101,399,900 pounds, against 66,731,000 pounds for the corre- sponding time last year. 4 New York Metal Market. NEW YORK, May 19.—Events of a startling nature were decidedly lacking in metal circles to-day. The usual sales movement occurred in order to meet the immediate wants of con- sumers, but otherwise the market was feature- less, except for a sympathetic rise with tin in London, whre values advanced 17s 6d on epot to £128 10s, but futures closed unchanged at £12. The ‘local market rujed firm at 38 150 Copper was a little higher to-day abroad, closing firm in tone at £69 1s 3d, and futures at £69 10s 14. Here the market for copper was nominally unchanged. Lead ruled quite fea- tureless all day, closing at $4 37%. In Lon- don values advanced 3s 3d, closing with spot quoted at £12 7s 6d. Spelter, on the other hand, was 2s 6d lower at £17 7s 6d, while here it was unchanged at $3 95@4. = American iron markets were quiet and ruled at old prices.

There s considerable talk about prices for Peaches and Pears for canning account, but beyond rumored sales, many of which turn out baseless, it seems to be chiefly talk thus far.

A local cannery is paying $15@25 per ton for small ;{llte Apricots and $10 for sunburned blue ums. There is no material change in orchard fruits, as the demand about balances the supply.

The engaged list of coal carriers from Australia, afloat and to load, numbers only fourteen vessels with a carry- ing capacity ef about 40,000 tons, whereas in June of last year there were forty-four vessels engaged with a capacity of 116,000 tons. This is very strong evidence of how the coal business has changed its character and has been forced | into the hands of our coast collleries, whence | our supplies are mainly drawn at present and for many months past. Freights on coal from Australia are declining and later on they may | be sufficiently reduced to meet our ruling mar- | ket rates, but it is improbable that the quan- tity offering_will disturb present quotations. Fuel ofl is daily increasing its sales, and at prices that coal cannmot meet. Oil producers bave made a valuation for their output disre- garding cost of producing and distributing, hence they find the contracts they have made for future delivery are at absurdly low prices. What should have proved a great acquisition to the discoverers and producers will result in very meager retums to the investors.

There was less excitement in the Gas stocks on the morning session of the Bond Exchange, and Gas & Electric was weaker at $3@42. The other stocks -were quiet and not materially changed. The ofl stocks were in fair request, though the recindment of the Tic dividend which Home 0Oil was to have paid to-day had an unfavora- bPle effect on the market. The dividend was rescinded because a large customer declineq to receive any more oil under the contract. Gas & Electric was lively again in the after- roon, selling at $42@43 25, and Pacific Gas Im- | provement sold at $44. There were sales of Oceanic_at $43@i0.
