REVIEW OF MARKETS
FINANCIAL And COMMERCIAL
Sticks, Honey, Exchange, Bonds. Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.
These Are Closing Sales
Each Day.

New York. June 21.-The stock mar
ket was exceedingly irregular all day,
and the net results, except in few
stocks. are not large, though the eX
IRENE range OF prices was very conSid-
erab.er Prices ruled above last nights
closing level for the greater part of
the day. and when they approached
last flights level the market almost in
variably fell into extreme dullness.
That the demand which kept up prices
came very largely from the short inter-
est Is highly probable, but the cessa-
ton of pressure AT such times as the
market fell to or below last nights level
indicated that liquidation was not be-
ing forced. Some support was accorded
by the sympathetic effect of the posi-
tive strength manifested by New Jer-
sey Central and Reading first preferred.
Northern Pacific was conspicuously I'M
der pressure all day. Efforts were
made to support the stock at about So
but broke through that price near noon
and fell an extreme 1& TO 49A, with
only a feeble rally.
Sub-treaSury operations including
payments for the gold exported how
by the banks and to-days debit balance
by the sub-treasury amounted to $685.
657. AS the banks have continued to
receive money from the interior the
Saturday statement is not likely to
show n large decrease in cash. The
tone OF the money market here is
flrmer though not Quotably changed.
The prospect is that further demand
from abroad will be made for gold
from New York, where the outbreak
of speculation in wheat and cotton Is
making large additional use for the
money at interest.
The bond market was dull and ir-
regular. Total sales par value $780,
