New York, June 17.-Aside from the
meager news from the war. today's news
comprised little else calculated to affect
prices. Evidences multiplied that the
Government war loan would be largely
over-subscribed. but while Wall Street
acquiesces in the methods employed in
floating the loan. its interest in the busi
ness IS thereby reduced. After July II.
when the extent Of the popular subscrip
tiens will be known, there may be a
change in this respect
The market was the least active in a
long time, but the transactions were note
worthy in respect to the small amounts
OF stocks that changed hands on sepa-
rate transactions.
During a good part of the day the tape
was given over TO recording the dealings
in American Tobacco, United States Rub
her, United States Leather and Sugar Re
filming. With the exception Of the last
named, all these stocks were advanced
notably, but manipulation seemed TO be
chiefly instrumental in their careers, not
ably in American Tobacco.
The market opened fairly strong. but

of positive steps on the part of the Ad

speedily. The Street is tired of waiting
to put the trouble plainly. There have
been campaigns talked of through the
weeks. but none of them have come to
the point of action and conquest. Since
Cervera was tied up in Santiago, there
has been nothing to the advantage of
Spain except in a negative way. The
market was entirely professional yester-
day and almost no stocks were bought for
investment. The room traders did a
little business on the bear side,
The future of the market is in the
hands of the war. If there is news there
will be liveliness. AS any news is al
most sure to be good news, it is safe
TO predict that the next movement OF
the market will be an upward turn. In
deed, there are indications that the pro-
fessionals are even now only selling TO
get prices down for purchase at more
advantageous prices for the advance soon
to come. There is no reason TO expect
much of the market today. The trading

lull, with a tendency downward. On the
other hand there is a possibility that the
Street will be inclined TO buy in a small
way for the chance that there may be
good news over Sunday.

New York, June 17.-Dun's review Of
trade tomorrow viii say:
The passing of the war tax bill, the
offering of bonds, and the collapse Of
Letter and cash wheat have made the
week somewhat exciting.
Very significant was the excess of ex-
ports over imports in May by s56, $50, ,359,
making a merchandise balance in favor
of the United States of S57l. $50 O37 in
eleven months of the fiscal year.
Not less important is the official show
ing that this nation has supplied to
others i0,05S 20S bushels of wheat and
20i, ,000,O 900 corn in eleven months and sees
wheat fall twenty cents in a week be-
cause a crop is promised greater than the
last by one hundred million bushels
Foreign trade still shows the symptoms
which foreshadowed the May return.
Exports for two weeks have been 3S I-2
per cent larger than last year, and i'm
ports 50 per cent smaller than last year.
and it is scarcely conceivable that such
a change can occur TO prevent another
heavy excess OF exports.
The cotton movement continues large
for the season, although the price has
advanced a sixteenth in spite of favor

Further discussion of the taxes on stock
transactions and loans has had a de-
pressing effect as the brokers say that
it will discourage trading. A tax of two

heavily on the traders who scalp for
quarters and eighths. They keep the
market going often when otherwise it
would be lifeless and so encourage specu-
