NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June l6.-Proft taking was
the feature of the early trading, and although
London and commission houses generally sold, the
i'm preston on values was Insignificant. The con
census of opinion was that the reaction was Cd.
perfume in view of yesterdays sharp rise and that
it would not only give operators a chance to look
around, but would test the stability of the market.
It is be said that the offerings were readily abb
sorbed. and as the day along and advices from
81 Louis gave cumulative evidence that the gold
orders were placed I'm all the leading issues and 8
higher range OF quotations established. London
turned buyer, and firms here with Western con-
nections made extensive purchases of the railways
and the better class Of industrials.
A further advance in Government bonds and a
reduction in the posted rates OF sterling ex-
change contribute ed TO the good feeling. United
States As of 925 have gained nearly Q per cent
during the past two days, the advance befur
directly due the position of the st. Louis con-
veution the currency question. In the last
hour The market took On an appearance of buov-
ancy, and nearly every stock OF, the list reached
the highest point for long time past. SpecuIa-
ton left on strong with an advancing tendency.
