NEW YORK, June 2O.-The stock mar
ket made some headway during the
early part of the session against depreS-
sion, and an average level of prices ma
terially above last night was establish
ed. Room traders were inclined to take
the long side for turn under the i'm
preston that the market had been over
sold and a rally was due. But before
the end of the session large offerings of
stocks were thrown on the market, en-
bracing all the principal groups of securi-
ties dealt in. Earlier gains were more
than wiped out the decline from the best
active railroad stocks running from l to
11a. The net losses We're mostly frac-
tiOnal. but some of the specialties show
wide declines and the same is true of
some of the dormant stocks which have
not been dealt in during the late period
of weakness.
The chief ground of the early strength
in the market was the range of prices
from abroad and the disposition of Lon
don to buy stocks here 1t was evident
that more cheerful view was taken in
foreign quarters of the Chinese situation
and British consoIs hardened a Shade in
spite Of the stiffening of the London mon
ey market. The chief influence in turn
ing the tide of sentiment towards the
bear side was the acute weakness deveI-
oped in Sugar and Brooklyn Rapid Trans
it and in other specialties by sympathy.
The bears attacked the Brooklyn stock
with great confidence and encountered
little opposition in offering the price down
on account of yesterdays judicial opinion
against the legality of ten-cent fares.
After selling at 641a in the morning the
stock was forced down to 6012 in the late
dealings. The drop in Sugar extended to
over 4 points, and was without special
explanation. All of the gas stocks were
acutely depressed, the declines extending
from IA in Peoples Gas to 81 in Brook
lyn Union Gas. Other notable declines
were Cotton Oil preferred 5, Chicago
Great Western preferred p on dsap-
pointment over the failure to declare
dividend; the tobacco stocks, General
IA to 4. These violent declines had a
sympathetic effect on the whole list.
Weakness in the railroads was aggra-
waited by the renewal of crop damage
reports, and not only the grain-carrying
roads, but the cotton roads also were
affected by this cause Some Of the SELL
ing was said to be of stocks held by
held for some time past to give oppor-
tunitY to the customers of the firms con-
cerned to take up the Stocks.
The money market hardened apprecia-
bly,. and the possibility Of quick inroads
on the small surplus reserves of the
banks receive increasing attention. To-
days engagement of 81 ,000, eco of gold for
shipment to France was about as ex-
pected, and sterling exchange eased off
under the -pressuref fFof bills against the
shipment. Discount rates hardened bo9h
in London and Berlin and sterling fell a
fracto on in Paris, SO that 1t is considered
probable that the demand for gold is not
yet satisfied, and gold is expected to go
out on Saturday.
The bond market was Null and prices
