STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 24.-The prices of
stocks made a further average advance
to-day, putting the top level in the cur
rent bull movement one notch higher.
rnhe advance, however, was not universal
sand some prices are lower, the anthracite
. coai group losing something of its strong
advance of yesterday. The international
shares, some of them, displayed the SYM
pathetic effect Of lower prices in Lon
don and Of selling here for London ac-
count. Others of this group were bought
for London account and gained in prices.
There were times during the day when
prices were generally below last nights
close and there were evidences of heavy
realizing in some stocks. The volume
of the dealings was smaller by over 49,
900 shares than yesterday, but was rath-
er better distributed, though the gran
gers, Chicago Gas, Bay State Gas and
Sugar absorbed about three ffths of the
total dealings. An aggressive advance
in Northwest which was resumed after
days halt carried that stock up ~
points to 117A and was a sustaining in
huence in the whole market.
The grangers also maintained their
strong upward tendency and their po-
tent influence in the market under heavy
dealings and in spite of some alarmist
reports of damage to crops. The belief
in good crop prospects which advanced
the price in this group was an influence
on nearly every railroad property in the
west whose securities are dealt in on
the change. st. Paurs third week state
ment showing an increase in gross earn
ings of over $4,000 was an encourage
ing factor. This road earnings have
been greater each week in the present
month than in the corresponding week
of any year since 1894. Forecast of Nav
statements of the granger roads give
suggestions of a favorable showing and

The recognized active securities moved
narrowly but participated in the general

less known properties. Peoria, Deca-

firsts per cent to 80. The aggregate
sales were $1,671, 900. Governments
were in moderate demand and improved
