Way in Sugar and Forced the
Price Down . 1-% Points.

New York, June 22,--The action of the stock
marhet today indicated the withdrawal of the
public from speculation pending definite news
regarding the operations of the American
forces at Santiago and Manila and until the
effects of the new revenue law and govern
mcnt loan are known. The professional ope-
rators were unable to advance or depress
prices in any marked degree.
The weakness in Sugar ascribed to the
prospective annexation of Hawaii. was feat
ure. Bears had everything their own way in
this specially and were successful in forcing
out round amounts OF stock. which carried the
price down 2is points. The succeeding opera
tons were accompanied by considerable ir-
regularity, but the evident lack of inside sup
port encouraged fresh demonstrations by the
traders at every RISE the stock closing with

security permeated the general market for a
time but the marked reluctance of the stand
aid shares to succumb to the pressure, coupled
with some favorable traffic statements, stimu-
lated covering in the granger group which
carried those properties above the level OF
yesterdays close. The action OF the Lake
Shore directors in increasing the semi annual
dividend to 3M per cent was also contribu-
tory factor in the latest strength in the rail-
way list.

These Were the Important Factors
Bulls Were Nervous and Let Their
High-Priced wheat Go.

Chicago, June 22.--The good weather and de
malls from France of damage of wheat by
rust was a bearish influence today. July
left off !. lower and September lost l%alis
Corn and oats are !. down. Pork declined
and lard and ribs Pa each.
Wheat started weak on the fine weather
throughout the country The denial from
Paris OF any serious damage by rust to the
French crop was also a factor at the OPEN
ing Liverpool cables were additional
disappointment to the bulls as 1t was expect
ed that the sharp bulge yesterday would have
an affect on the other side. The bulls soon
began to feel nervous and let go Il good deal
Of their high priced wheat. July, which closed
yesterday at 74hG1ila, declined TO %. The
domestic crop reports were not universally
favorable by any means, but the good so
largely exceeded the bad that the latter NO
longer had the effect in alarming any one
about the results The elaborate preparations
made yesterday to market the enormous cash
wheat holdings did not have the altogether re-
assuring effect expected. The small French
traders In grain began to sell which caused
one OF the weakest moments. There was i
