New York June IA midsummer lassi-
tude hung over the stock market through
the greater part of the day. and trading
drifted aimlessly in the doldrums. But
the hot weather does not deter the ever
watchful eye of capital from availing it,
self of offered opportunities. The burst
of animation in the last hour Of to-daya
stock market indicated that Wall street
was not so dead as all the earlier ap-
pearances gave reason to suppose Spec
ulation was almost at a standstill during
the morning session, even the professional
traders waiting for action on the sugar

effect must be regarded as surprisingly
small, considering the recent activity of
the bears on the doubts they expressed
that a dividend would be forthcoming on
this stock.
There was a large demand for the
Changers, which advanced prices in the
group / to 3h points, which spread to
other points in the railroad list Fort
