These Are Closing Sales
Each Day.

New York, Jue 2?.-The stock market
developed acute weakness before the close
to-day. offering surprise to professional
traders who Caluc down to Wall Street
under the impression that the market had
been oversold and WAS due for II rally.
This conviction was strengthen by the
early course of the market, which opened
higher in sympathy with London, where
there WAS II better feeling on account OF
the lack of confirmation of some of the
alariniSt rumors regarding conditions i'll
China The buying of the Reading stocks
and of New Jersey Central. which made
such am impression on sentiment ycstcr
day, was still III evidence, and during the
course of the first hour some OF the rail-
roads had advanced as much as TO II:
points above last night. The steel stocks
had rallied from an opening depression
and were bought ON the more cheerful
views for the outlook for the iron market,
and the local traction stocks rallied on
covering of short contracts.
The decision of the International bank
ers not to ship gold ON to-morrow's
steamer the fall IN exchange rates having
a stimulating factor. During the course
of the first hour. however. large offerings
began to appear in Northern Pacihc.
coupled with renewed reports OF disas-
trous conditions in the spring wheat re-
gion. The Coalers and Trunk Lines made

as sustaining force, and weakness
spread to the grain-carrying roads and
Stocks of industrial corporations. ana
especially of those controlling public
Utilities IN cities, all showed acute weak
ness. The pressure against Brooklyn
Rapid Transit became very severe as the
day advanced. and that stock mt the
lowest was u. below the early high point
and the net decline is So. The unfriendly
attitude of tho public towards this class
or corporation was an influence in their
weakness, but there was liquidation from
some special source in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit. Some OF the stocks offered to-
day. were said to be by the banks, which
held them as collateral for the loans of u
large stock exchange firm which recently
tailed The professional bears were also
active In Offering down prices. but they
met with great success in dislodsing stop
loss orders. The final rally in prices was
ntfull and fcverish and the market closed
much unsettled and not much above the
low level.
The estimates of the weeks cash
changes indicate Il gain by the banks of
considerably over Il million. The cur
rency movement with the interior has
continued largely in favor of New York.
Part OF the selling of stocks is I'M.
doubtcdly for the purpose of realizing
funds to divert TO wheat and cotton
speculation.
