STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York June 5.-The dealings in
stocks dropped back again TO near the
low level of activity for the year and
the days net changes are narrow and
unimportant So far as they are gains
they are the residue of little squirt in
prices. with which the day started. II
was caused by a rumor that the coal
strike had been settled which came by
way Of London. with a light volume of
cabled orders to buy, the origin OF which
was as doubtful as that of the rumor
This was undoubtedly a ruse and was
designed as a counter move TO yesterdays
reports set afioat by the bears Of the sud
den death of an aged financier. The prin-
cipal buying came from yesterday g
shorts, and as soon as the rumor was au-
thoritatively denied the buying movement
fell away and the market relapsed into
its state of neglect. There was a sharp
rally in the Canadian Pacif1cs on a re-
sumption of the pool opera tons In that
stock and this movement had some syr-
pathetic influence on the rest Of the list
The latter market was inclined TO de-
preston. and there seemed feeling of
resignation to a season of dullness. Opin-
ions from abroad are current that there
will be no notable revival from abroad
in foreign markets as an effect of the
declaration of peace until after the Eng
lish coronation. The continuance of the
coal strike, which seems to promise in
definite prolongation. will also re a
damper on any speculative enthusiasm
The assembling OF the soft coal miners
in the Virginia and West Virginia fields
and reports that they will go on strike
gives color to the apprehension OF an
extensive spread of labor trouble The
strength of today's corn market and the
reports which accompanied 1t of excessive
rains and foods in the southwest were a
reminder of the possibilities of future
to the corn crop and an incentive
TO caution against speculative commit
ments on that score
The bank statement promises to be COL
orless. There have been sufficient receipts
on balance from the interior to about
offset the weeks s., 900. 900 loss on sub
treasury operations There is no indfca-
ton OF any substantial reduction in the
loan account OF the banks. and some In
stitutions report an increase in that item.
reaction in foreign exchange was
viewed with satisfaction and relieved the
apprehension caused by the weeks ad-
vance of disposition by foreign lenders
TO withdraw credits. The market closed
stagnant
The bond market was also less active,
and the movement Of price narrow and
irregular. Total sales. par value. g. $50
700. United States bonds are all un-
changed on the last call
