NEW YORK, June 10.—There was some im. provement in. the demand for stocks to-day and upward progress was made by prices, but the mearket was dull and narrow to a degree that has not been equaled for the last two years until within a week. Dealings con- tinued almost entirely in the hands of pro- fessional room traders, but this element oper- ated with somewhat more freedom than for several days. They were encourazed by the return to Wall street of the leader of the so- called Western group of speculators, tc which has been attributed all the recent’ important market movements. If there were operations for the account of this group they were not on a large scale, ufficiently attested There was some concentrated buying of South- ern Rallway, which easily led the whole s ket in point’of activity. "A single commission house often employed by one of the large financial Interests was credited with taking 10,000 shares of this stock. There was a ge eral expectation that the monthly crop esti- mate of the Government, which Was not pub- lished until after the Stock Exchange closed would make a very favorable showing of the crops aw . s was a strengthening influence on all the grangers, Including the Southwesterns. Atchison and St Paul were the most prominent in the movement. The grain markets themselves rallled somewhat from the movement to discount the monthly Magl ts and l;.umfl;?.‘:."» A flmlmm Unlon Pacitio symcens eaedion c suffered from realizing and was attributed to Canadian Socount sroms h lon l rather easy, despite some demand for call loans for Stock Exchange purposes and in the face of a sub-treasury absorption since last Friday of nearly $1,500,000. The traders were inclined to take a hopeful view of the pros- pect for an early settlement of the coal strike and the resumption of operations and earnings by the companies. There were some intima- tions that plans were making for an attemipt o resume mining operations, but no s- sion could be procured of any prospect Of a settlement with the miners. The market closed dull and steady. The bond market was dull and narrow, with an irrecular movement of prices. Total sales, United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call, NEW YORK STOCK LIST. Btock— High. Low. - Close.
