New York, June 10.-Private cables to-

The opening here was 2 to points

the market rallied in a feeble way to last

The market at the close was about un-
changed with total sales on fair scale

the week states that beneficial rains have
fallen where needed, high temperature has
favored rapid development Moisture is
needed at some points along the Atlantic

and Trading Fairly Active-Con-

New York, June 10.-Although the busi-

large, the daily average being less than
half million shares, prices as rule are
materially higher than they were last Sat-
urday. Net advances have taken place in
Sugar Refining and in Consolidated Gas
that may be regarded owing to their mag
in the Sugar Refining industry and ter
minatlon OF hostilities between the local
gas companies. Throughout the remainder
of the list the improvement may properly
be regarded as rejecting a change in spec
ulative sentiment resulting from the cessa-
tion of liquidation and an appreciation of
the various conditions affecting values.
The most important change in the week
" statement of averages of the associated
banks is an increase in the loans of nearly
81, ,000, 600. While ii is impossible to an
alyze this expansion in the accommoda-
tions granted by the banks, as reasonable
an explanation as any is that it resulted
from borrowings upon securities that have
been quietly accumulated by various inter-
ests during the last two or three weeks.

banks was much smaller than had gener-

The trading in stocks this morning was

Moreover, the superficial view that the
professional element took of the bank

Notwithstanding these two circumstances
