TRADING WAS SMALL

Now York June H The hoard room of
the stock exchange was almost deserted
todaj and thero seemed to he an abso-
lute lack of buying dculand so that oven
insignificant otferings carried tho level of
prices downward Tho few professional
traders present were disposed to sell
stocks In anticipation ot tho unfavorable
bank atatcmout and on the general prin-
ciple that prices will yield on n dull mar-
ket An Idea of tho narrowness ot tha
markot Is glvon by the fact that during
the first hpur there wers lust twotrans
actions recorded ln St Paul which was
tho more notnblo because of Its good state
rucnt of gross earnings for the second week
In June The buying of tho Flower group
which has been uerslsted In for the last
few days In fnco Ot tho dullness ot the
jest ot tho market was abandoned and
these stocks wero nlluwcd to drift down-
ward with the rest of tho market and
wire fell away rather sharply with the
reports of a dlsputo among tho directors
as to tho payment of a dividend of the
common stock Thero were rather sharp
losses bv other hew Industrials which
afterward partly recovered Tho bad
bank statement brought little selling and
thn traders covered short contracts paus-
ing a rally Not changes aro unimport-
ant In nearly all cases as the evening of
contracts by traders brought prices hack
to about tho starting point Uoilds showed
n declining tendency In sympathy with
stocks on n small volumo of business
Tho general nubile maintained an In-
different mood toward happenings In Wall
street during the week Professional
traders have shonn Increasing ludlltereuee
to tho market LaBt weeks rlso continued
nnd culminated on Tuesday when a num
ber of lioavv operators closod nut their
long accounts nt a profit After this reallz
lug movement tho trading was mainly a
contest between nrotesslonals as to which
wny tho current of prlcea should turn
Thero was an obvious hull parly in the
group of specialties with which the name
of the late Mr Flower Is still Identified
Both Brooklyn Transit and Kodcral Sleol
have received a largo degreo of attention
from this party The recovery In sugar
and strength In tho coalers and some Iso
lated lnstnnces In the railroad list gnvo
some encouragement to tho bull movement
today nnd the market was In conscquenu But It had to contend with the llstle ness

directions Southwostorns being lcy
ously weak Tho heavy rain storms of
tho week aroused some fears of damage to
tho crops and there wore borne curront
nonottlclal estimate of the coniltiK wheat
crop The hoavy tone to tho grangers
was due lo this cause Tho bears also
counted unon a scntlmcntnt effect from an
unfavorably bank statement which wis
eonfldcntly anticipated A slight harden
htg tendency In the money markot toward
tho end of tho week attracted attention to
the condition ot tho banking icsorvcg
Thero has been n distinct reactionry tend

which seemed for somo time past unite In
fntlablc This aroused somo ouestlon of
tho available simply of Idlo capital still
seeking Investment Tho May foreign
trado statement Issued by the bureau of
statistics of tho treasury department also
received an unfavorable interpretation
from tho bear clement In that li showed
the diminution ot exports compared with
Inst year still In progress Something has
been made also of thn broadening propor-
tions of the problem offered for solution
In tho Philippines and tho possibility of
largo additional forces being required to
subdue tho Insurgents and eecuro order
Tho prevailing high prices of our high
grade securities have undoubtedly prompt-
ed very heavy felling by foreign halders
and tho fact that wo are now exporting
gold lends somo authorities to conclude
that tho trado balanco In our favor has
thus been liquidated but special Induce-
ments may have been offered by foreign
government Institutions to make good the
apparent margin of loss Involved ln ox
