EASTERN MARKETS. New York Stock Markct. NEW YORK, June 3.—It would be useless to seek for anything but a negative Inference from the operations in to-day's_stock market owing to the smallness of the dealings and the languid movement of prices. Variations of as much .as a point are rare and must be sought among the obscure portions of the list. An example of the curb market s offercd by St. Paul, usually an active jeader of the market, - —— 1 tions up to 2 o'clock to-day. It is necessary to £0 back nearly two years to the period preccd- ing the last Presidential election to find such show of stagant speculative Interest. The _underfone was rather firm, as the immediate new developments were favorable to value The buying was entirely by the small profes- sionat traders and the market was so narrow that they were obliged to concede all of the advance In price caused by their bidding in order to close even a contract. The trade: bought durinz the first hour from the bell | that the success of the anthracite operators in keeping their mine pumps going In spite of the strike would presag. a2 rise In the valus of anthracite stock Importance was also attributed to the notable increase in the Teceipts of corn and the resultant decline in the corn market. The immediate benefit of in- creased traffic for rallroads by the larger re- ceipts was considered of much less consequence than the obvious inference that the freer of- ferings of corn were due to belief of planters that the coming crop wouid be abundant. The higher rate for money was probably the most infinential factor in repressing speculation. Rates for call money ruled &t about last weei’'s maximum throughout. The syndicate jons last week which resulted in the $15,000,600 loan exvansion by the banks are liable 1o be repeated in kind at almost any time and.the effect on the money market in the present narrow state of surplus reserves is an object lesion against free speculative commit- men! . There was an active demand for Consoli- dated Tobacco 4s. Otherwise the bond market but in which thers were only three transac- | ? was dull and irregular. ~Total sales, $3,405,000. United States bonds were all unchanged on the ast. call. NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Stock— Sales.
