New York stock Market.

New York, June 7, IL a. m.-The
stock market today has been Irregular
with business still confined within small
limits. The early lul in the mar
ket was rather dampening TO specu-
latiye sentiment, as it suggested the
possible flattering out of the recent ac-
tive movement. The stock was dull at
the start, with declining tendency, and
while much business after the first hour,
it was not to the benefit of values, which
showed total losses of per cent. since
last night. The industrial list held
fairly steady in early dealings but weak
ened as the recession in the recent spec
ulatiye leader became pronounced. There
was little feature to the speculation.
U. S. Steel preferred was under pressure
and lost Sc to 5-S per cent, although
subsequently the price hardened back to
almost last nights close. Amalgamated
copper was indifferently steady. The
speculation in the second hour presented
no different aspect, but while there was
no selling pressure of importance, trad
ing was more or less tame and listless.
