STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 27.-To-day's stock
market was narrow and insignificant
as for several days past. Professional
traders put up prices slightly on the
score of the addition of $2,824,275 to the
surplus of the banks, which is particu-
larly satisfactory in view of the APP
proach of the July / settlements.
The Pennsylvania stock subscription
seems to have figured both In the loan
and cash items of the bank statement
The increase in cash of $685. 400 is be-
tween $4,000,000 and 100000 larger
than was estimated. Some large re-
ceipts from Philadelphia In connection
with Pennsylvania subscriptions helped
to this result and the weeks averages
probably had the advantage also OF
some OF the last weeks receipts which
came too late 10 figure In last weeks
statement. The large loan increase OF
IS, 925, 500 Is attributed 10 the Pennsyl-
wanna operation, but IL is believed that
the contamination ~ the Hooking Val
ley control also figures IN the item.

New York, June 27.-Cables were I'M
changed to lower for the old crop
but September and October were 5
points higher. There was nothing of
Importance in the Chronicle report, or
in the various trade authorities beyond
the recent run of news. which is of a
mixed character, with Proclamation
of very poor accounts. The weekly
Liverpool statistical report remains
bullish. The stocks in that market
are still over 100000 less than last year,
and the statistical situation, otherwise
is so strong that it is impossible to
see anything ahead but a strong mar
ket until new cotton begins to move,
and this it is admitted will be of small
proportions until the middle of Septem-
Der, at least. Rain fell to-day at many
points, and the temperature was gen.
orally higher. The belief prevails,
however, that the nights are still en-
tire1y too cool to help the plant. The
visible supply of the world lost during
the week, $4,000 bales. The market
opened at a sharp advance of to 4
points Showers were indicated for
Texas, and the territories, but those
were not looked upon as of any conse-
uuence. Shorts covered early In the
day, and thereafter business was main
ly scalping. In fact there was less in
terest and less business than witnessed
for long time.

enough to take the offerings at the

factors were Indifferent about letting
go at any lower basis. Then, too,
something was heard about the tank
people wanting to get into the market
again. Reports from the country
were that rains fell at many points.
Low temperatures are also reported,
which may have a curtailing effect in
gathering gum. While a fair demand
prevails less eagerness has been shown
on the part of exporters to obtain sup
plies. The foreign element took con-
siderable of to-day's offerings, and the
belief is expressed that they may
again be in the market soon upon a
large scale. The receipts We're 924 casks,
and the exports 1855 casks.
Rosins-The rosin market opened
firm at the prices below, sales 1,147

The calendar week closed with bust

ing in the spot cotton market, which
has, from all appearances, seen its ac-

the new crop comes it is probable there
will be no stock of cotton in which to
trade. To-day's cotton markets at
New York and New Orleans were fair
ly active. and are reported in detail
elsewhere.
The naval stores markets closed firm
and unchanged, with a satisfactory de-
mand for both spirits and resins. While
there was a disposition among some
factors to hold for an advance, the
early closing and the weekend both
had an effect in causing sales. Ex-
porters appeared quite willing to take
the offerings, and all the business was
reported at the official figures. The
wholesale markets closed steady.
Securities on the Cotton Exchange
continue to show some activity. With
the approach of fall active local share
trading is expected. Details of the diff
