New York, June 5.-The professional
traders on the Stock Exchange made in
dustrious attempts all day TO get into the
current of speculation. But, as a matter
OF fact, there was almost no current to
speak Of so that the board room traders
found themselves drifting and floundering
in stagnant waters. They changed sides
several times in the dun market, and the
net changes in the day are consequently
unimportant outside a few of the special
ties, though the general average of prices
is notably lower
The opening showed declines under the
influence Of the heaviness in the foreign
market on account Of the disturbed state
of affairs in France
Sugar and a number of other specialties
We're attacked and the bears also had on
their side a falling off in the east-bound
freight tonnage from Chicago: a decrease
In Rock Islands net earnings for April,
and renewed strength in the wheat mar
ket. The manifest disposition of a bun
party TO take up group OF iron and steel
stocks on account of the extraordinary
prosperity in that trade, served to check
the decline. The large receipts Of wheat
at interior points offset the fears of crop
damage, ana Il series of good returns on
current traffic of various railroads also
helped to strengthen the stocks of these
properties.
The local stocks showed disposition to
advance, and it looked like the Inaugural
ton of a bun movement when the break
| in Sugar awakened uneasiness and the
making Of commitments on the long side
was put a stop to- There was nothing
| notable in the trading thereafter
The extreme break in Sugar was IA,
the rally on covering caused some hard
ening in the general list. The recovery in
Sugar amounted to 33l, the net loss being
! Pa National Steel, Pressed Car Steel and
| Tennessee Coal and Iron held their adj
vance better than the other steel stocks.
There was a spread In the American
smelling stocks the common weakening
sharply while the preferred advanced over
a point. The plethoric condition of the
money market, the good railroad earn
| ings reported and the general activity and
| prosperous conditions in all general chan
! uels of trade. are accepted as causing In.
creased values to securities. But the
sugar trade war and other possibilities OF
a setback to highly speculative stocks as
well as the manifest disposition 10 renew
an unbrided speculation In the securities
of the new and untried Industrial combi-
nations begets distrust and hesitation on
the part Of capitalists.
