Stocks-The public continued to hold
aloof from the stock market and deal
ings to-day were almost wholly pro-
fessional. There was the semblance
of strength at one time, due to sympa-
thy with the activity in small group
CT specialties, which were bought by
large interests more CT less identified
with them. Prices of the group were
advanced and the traders bought the
general list, causing small advances all
around. But the rise failed absolutely
to invite any outside buying and the
supporting tactics were abandoned
during the course CT the day. The list
less condition that ensued was such as
to invite bear aggression. But the
bear patty apparently suffered from
the seascnable lassitude as much as
the general public and their operations
were not pursued with any vigor or de-
termination. However, the gains at
one time established were practically
all wiped out before the close and net
losses are the rule, most of them being
Restricted to fractions. Sugar ruled
above yesterdays level, rising at one
time nearly 4 points, but closing at a
net gain of only rs. The Federal Steel
stocks, Brooklyn Transit, Peoples Gas,
Manhattan and Consolidated Gas also
enjoyed their period of strength. There
was an early break in the Denver &
Rio Grande stocks, and Colorado Fuel
weakened late in the day on account of.
the labor troubles over the new eight
hour law in Colorado. American
Smelling stiffened 2 points on few
isolated transactions, the officials OF
the company protesting to feel no un-
easiness over the strike an alleging
that it came at good time. American
Car showed losses of and points re-
spectively for the common and prefer
red stocks, and p, c. c. & st. L. moved
in an erratic manner points over
yesterdays level. The belief that the
outward gold movement Is not yet con-
cluded added to the Discrimination to
buy stocks. The preliminary trade
statement of the treasury department.
for May discloses that the total ex-
ports for the fiscal year for the first
time fell below those of last years at
the end of May to the extent of some
thing over $5,0O0,000. Brh the exports
in June of last year showed heavy
decrease from those of May so that the
June exports for this year, which are
running much nearer to last years
level, may bring the total exports for
the fiscal year up to last years unpre-
cedented figures. The continued high
level of imports compared with those
of last year will cause marked iin.in-
uition in the country's favorable trade
balance for the fiscal year. But it is
now evident that the trade b1lance will
be between twenty and thirty millions
overI half billion dollars, which is
far above the record of any previous
year except 1898. Wall street is still
puzzled to decide whether this enor-
NOUS credit balance has been all liqui-
dated by the buying of our own secur-
tiles from foreign holders and the
mystery surrounding the gold move
ment has added to the puzzle
Railroad bonds continue to show
sympathy with heavy tendency in
