Stocks and Bonds.

New York, June 9.-The light spec
ulation which was in evidence yester-
day was somewhat discouraged to-
day and gave little show of enthu-
siasm The poor market afforded for
taking profits yesterday afternoon
served to discredit the upward move
ment. London gave some upward inn
pulse to prices early in the day and
took stocks here until they reached
the London parity when the foreign
ers turned sellers again. London
was said to be somewhat disappointed
over the failure to reduce the discount
rate OF the Bank of England. But
the statement of the bank left no
room for anxiety over the financial
situation in London the $2,6OO,OO
bullion increase being accompanied by
loan contraction of over $14,000.000.
bringing the proportion of reserve of
liability to over SO per cent. At the
same time the Bank of France show
ed further rise in it's gold holdings
of over 900 with a reduction of
over $23,000,000 in its bills discount
ed. The result is something like a
redundancy of capital at the great
financial centres of the world with a
corresponding apathy of speculative,
and even of investment demand which
seems to point to a worldwide cause.

vancing tendency of prices threw the
