WALL STREET REVIEW
A FEW LARGE BUYING ORDERS IN

New York, June 3.-During the first

| few large buying orders executed In
/ a number of stocks, lifting them to \
| higher level and causing the general
market to harden in sympathy. The
movement was not pursued and the
market fell into intense dizziness VITA
no evidence of a disposition either to
| buy or sci. The undertone was kept
| firm by the absence of selling pressure,
but the market was as near stagnant
| as any time since the present neglect
| set in. The recovery in prices was not
| accounted for by anything in the days
| news. Excessive rains in the grain
regions were counted against tho
some rather sensational reports circu-
lated in Wall Street of damage by
| floods. The nervous tone in the cot
| ton market gave rise to some rather
disturbing rumors of money troubles
growing out of the sondition in that
| market. but the effect was ignored on
the Stock Exchange. An unofficial es-
Innate on the acreage of the present
crop and the June first condition were
paid more attention to in the stock
market than were the movements in the
cotton market itself. The estimates of

The weather accounts from the South were

due tomorrow. The trade generally was
fairly active and quite widely distributed.
There were periods OF feverishness. how
