NEW YORK, June 4-The opening

mand was for the low-priced coal

Summer and half holiday influences
combined today to keep the market dull

ness done was the closing up of engage
ments entered into only for a week s
turn As the recent operations of the
traders have inclined 10 the bear side,
it was the covering Of shorts that made
the tendency OF prices slightly upward.
St Paul attracted some attention by
selling above 40. In the industrial
group firmness was shown by United

lutely no significance. Government
