New York, June 16.-There was a
small number of stocks the prices of

to-day and for which a buoyant demand
existed at intervals during the whole
day. The coalers We're conspicuous, es-
pecially the Reading issues, and they
rose on an average of about Ia points.
The Flower group also moved upwards
and gave some senblance of strength
to the general market. Aside from this
demand the market was almost wholly
neglected and in the hands of a small
coterie of professional traders. The ut
most endeavors of these operators did
not serve to move prices more than a
small fraction, except in a few isolated
cases. The advance in the coalers was
the return from Europe of a prominent
financier who has figured in many rail-

roads displayed a rather firm tone in
sympathy with Reading but the move
ment of prices in them was inconsequen-
tial. The advance in the Flower stocks
was not so we'll held, and in some of
them was more than lost before the day
was over.
Sugar moved up and down over
range of about points and closed with
a small net loss. New York Air Brake
made characteristic sky-rocket jump

preferred dropped 2%, presumably on
account of the labor troubles in the
state Metropolitan ranged over points,
but closed at a small change. There
was nothing in the general situation
that found any reflection in the stock
trading. The undertone was rather firm
in the railroad list, partly in sympathy
with the strength of individual stocks
already mentioned.
The announcement Of an additional
shipment by to-morrow's steamer Of ST.

The money market continued rather

teams was very hard, and remarkably
fast fielding was the only thing that
kept the score within bounds The fea-
ture of the New Haven team was the

burlesque coaching, wonderful hitting
and fast work at second brought forth
frequent applause. The score:
