New York, June 2i-The bear operators
among Tho professional traders became
somewhat discouraged over the events of
today S shCrt session and engaged in
something like ascramble to cover out
standing short contracts In the closing
dealings. An unfaVorable bank state
ment had been counted upon by this ele-
mcnt to further decline. Today's state
ment, While 1t cannot be called favor
able one, was not as weak as had been
foretold and when the bears started to
cover shorts after its publication they
FOUND that 1t had brought slight offer
ings to sell. The banks loss in cash re-
serves was not as large by over a million
dollars as had been estimated and the
further liberal expansion of more than
100000 In loans indicated the faith of
banking authorizes in the money outlook.
The total sales were 19l, 400 shares. The
bond market was quiet and yielded at
some points. The volume of business in
bonds has decreased somewhat, but prices
in the main were pretty well maintained.

New York, June 2i-While the market
mas been dull during the week and at
times has shown considerable weakness
In certain directions yet the undertone
has been fairly strong one, and there
dlS certain llulCdllOnS tnat some OF the
stronger interests are quite heavily COM
mitted to the bull side of the market
The news for the week has been on the
whole, favorable, while there has been
quite heavy shipments OF gold to Europe
IT seems to be quite well understood that
1t Is merely to correct the difference in
interests in the Continental markets and
that the metal being in more abundant
supply here and easier to get, the Eu-
rope financial centers naturally come to
us for what they require, and that the
expectation can be looked upon in the
light of aloan by our holders of the
metal. The news from the spring wheat
has been decidedly more favorable and
has led to the buying of some of the
Grangers stocks. The increase in general
business throughout the country has been
tremendous. the volume shown by the
hank clearances outside New York be-
ing an increase of 31.9 per cent. over the
best record.
Today's market opened very strong with
sharp advances in the Traction stocks
Sugar and the Vanderblts issues, Steel
and Wire fell owing to yesterdays iump
sold off fractionally affecting Federal
steel at the same time but there was no
decided downward movement The hank
statement was rather more favorable
than was expected, but 1t had merely a
temporary effect on the market, trans
actions being too narrow to be Influenced
either way. Tho close was somewhat
irregular but with n strong undertone.
