New York June 20--Stock values generally
appreciated in value today to the extent Of
important fractions in the standard shares,
while the Improvement was considerably
greater in some 'specialties. AT the opening
the bears tried to repeat their successes OF
last week and in the first quarter OF an hour
brought about recession in the price of some
leading specaties but the railways showed
resistance to the selling movement. Tho
early weakness Of wheat and a rather feat
ureless tone of London gave no decided lead
TO the market and the anticipated announce

coming.
The earnings of railways for the second
week of June generally showed increases.
There was evidence of heavy purchases by
houses representing substantial interests.
which quickly steadied the market and event
ually brought about advances well above
Saturdays closing, although realizations at
times retarded the improving tendency. Gov
ering in the grangers was partly attributed
to the clear weather over much of the corn
crop area.
The rising movement in stocks was partly
credited to the inability of the bear faction
to bring about liquidation and the closing
was strong. Some specialtes after an early
momentary heaviness moved up sharply in
common with the pronounced tendency of the
general market.
lions were largely centered In the speculative
issues. Fluctuations during the forenoon were
slightly larger, but the market subsequently
gained strength and closed very firm.
