 New York. June 2.-Stock market ten dencies today were much mixed and at times so conflicting as to make any general view confusing and difficult. It Is fair to state, however, that in spite of the reac- tionary course of some stocks. the under tone of the market was very firm, even strong.
 In a general way it may be stated that high priced leaders of the market with the single exception of sugar came So halt and even receded, wh le the lower pr ced stocks, both in the railroad and industrial lists, were lifted to a level more commen- surate with the high level attained by the leaders The Changers except Burlington, all closed lower than last night.

Dry Goods.

New York, June 2-The most interesting feature of the dry goods market was the weakening prices of staples. The reduc- ions in blacks and whites and on grays have begun by genraly lower prices in other lines of the same grade. These features, together with the continued strength in print cloths comprise the in- teresting points in a slow market which drags along from day to day without devel- opments of a startling nature Jobbers are redoubling efforts to clean up stocks and the bargain hunter is having fairly sue cessful campaign Prints are generally weak and unsatisfactory.

New V ork Cotton Market.

New York, June 2.-The scope Of fluctua- tons in the local cotton market was narrow today, with speculation restricted chiefly to the operations of leading bulls and bears. The tendency of the market at the start was downward under lquidations and some selling insjired by bearish crop news and very unsatisfactory reports from the English cotton market. Later. however, the loss was recovered on light local cov- erlng shorts being driven out by reports that rain was badly neeed in Alabama and Georgia and that the plant in North carolina was suffering from too much moisture. Another factor which made bears cautious was the stiffening condi- ton of the Fall River print cloth market. The close was dull, with prices unchanged to l point net lower.

Birmingham, June 2.-Liverpool opened extremely weak for cash wheat, which caused our market to open from 3 to 5 cents lower Fine weather in the west and favorable crop reports, together with heavy liquidation in the first few minutes materially increased the weakness. After the first half hour the market steaded and gradually advanced on better feeling from Liverpool, closing strong at the top figures. Corn opened lower in sympathy with wheat but immediately turned strong on heavy buying by the pool and closed strong. We believe corn a good buy on all declines. Provisions weak on forced liquidation.
