While there were not heavy receipts OF
chickens, there was enough came in to supply
all demand which is paor. 1t seems that
nothing will keep the small undesirable chick

Eggs came in in liberal supply. but there
is still demand enough to take all that 10

New York. June 2O.-Todays advance IN
prices OF stocks after an early weakness was
no more conclusive Of a settled con4ltion oil
speculative situation and the course OF the
stock market than yesterday 5 decline. There
was q brief spasmodic period of liquidation In
Federal Steel and American steel Wire ana
the bears took advantage OF TINS 10 MAXI eu
attack on the whole list. Blu; the prlel uuF"-
ton OF the decline and the firm resistance
offered by prices Of the general list warnso
the bears Of the futility OF trying to bsat doWn
the market. The action Of the wheat MARKET
prompted some buying of the graneefs a'so'
The continued weakness Of wheat IN the
face OF the well defined information of poor
crops IN Russia and Eastern Europe maze
the conclusion unavoidable that supplies ot
American wheat we're believed to he forth
coming bv those who are best able TO Judge
Aside from this the market continued very
narrow and professionals coulG not be saId
to be representative OF anything more than
short contracts by yesterdays be1rs, The
opening in both Federal Steel and S,eel aid
Wire was wide. 5000 shares Of the former
selling at drop OF IL to 3 points ana tuI
shares oil the latter showing simultaneous
transactions from IA to pa below last nlgut
prices. The motive, e4 course, was the grant
ing OF tho judicial injunction against the pay
ment Of the Ia per cent dividend which mas
been declared on Federal Steel common Oh
the belief that at the expiration OF the fl5Cal
year the PRIOR right OF the preferreG stocks
to It's or cent dividend c1lld not te in
surCd The statement of President Gary thit
a sufficient sum had already leen set ASIDE
TO pay a yearly dividend on the preferred
stock was the decisive influence in tho way Of
b. tn stocks The net decline for each Of the
daH is only about point. Rather conspicu-
Gus strength was shown bv the Union Pacific
stocks. Now York Central and Pennsylvania
in the late dealings, but as these had sharp
declines their relatively gr3aJer advances were
but natural Operations by the outsiders
through commission houses continued at
minimum Sugar was strong. Continental
and American Tobacco was weak and the lo3a
traction stocks moved upward Some appre-
henson still exists over the threatening stua-
ton in France and in South Africa and the
ruling prices for money In Berlin, which is the
result Of rather unbridled speculation. The
advance in monev in Berlin was reflected in
higher discount rates in London and an ad-
vance In the rate for sterling exchange here
is believed to foreshadow further outflow Of
gold The rate Of exchange on Berlin, how
ever, eased off a fraction In New York rather
