New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The share Spec
ulation to-day failed to display any im-
provement. The market at the outset
was weak and lover. The traders who
were responsible for the bulk Of the
limited dealings were unfavorably i'm
pressed by the formal passage OF the
Butler bond bill by the UniIed States
Senate and by depression in the London
prices for Americans. The industrials
were conspicuous in the dealings and in
some instances the movements that CO.
Cured were evidently inspired by ma
nipulation.
