NEW YORK, June 9-Today's stock
market made further progress towards a
condition of absolute. stagnation.
The marking UP of one or two stocks
was attributed to operations by few of
the traders who have not abandoned the
mar market et,stn entirely 1t is supposed that
Some influence Is attributed to the fact
of the coming Whitsuntide holiday in
London, which drove the London market
to our own.
The heavy falling off in the activity of
trading Is responsible for the sharp de-
cline in the price of stock exchange seats,
a sale being reported at $72500. The pre-
Vious sale ten days ago was at $4,000,
and the, high price of $4,000 was paid
Some of the disposition to defer opera
tions was attributed TO the desire to
know the completion of tomorrow's gov
ernment report on the June 1st condition
of the grain crops. The wavering move
ment in the grain markets indicated some
unsettlement over the immediate pros
poets.
The Equitable Life affair furnished no
immediate incident for discussion today,
but its great influence In deterring from
any ventures in the stock is unimpaired.
Opinions over the bank statement are
mixed, owing to the large special opera
tons which have occurred. Including the
shifting of deposits incident to the trans
fer of the Japanese loan proceeds.
Call money was slightly firmer, but
not enough so to be an influence Some
consideration is beginning to be given.
however, to the preparations for the half
yearly settlements. The usual interest
bearing disbursements may have more
than the customary supplement in the
demand to replenish reserves by the trust
companies. 1t is reported that the opera
tions of this week have been to the ad-
vantage Of trust company reserve at the
expense of the bank reserves.
The sub-treasury has absorbed during
the week about 81, 100000 more than the
banks have gained on the interior move
ment. Some large changes in the various
items of the bank statement are likely
to result.
There was more variety in the bond
market than in stocks and prices there
were well maintained. There was an
active speculation in Central of Georgia
income bonds Total sales, par value,
$2,770,00O.
United States registered IS declined 4
per cent on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
BY Associated HresS.

IOS <ASSOcldleu tleSS.
CHICAGO June 9.-Firmness in the
wheat market developed after trading
was well under way. At the opening
sentiment was quite bearish, notwltn-
standing higher prices at Liverpool.
July wheat was off Is q l4c to "A 70 rs c
at S6WS64sc The main cause of weak
ness was a continuance of excellent
weather throughout the greater part OF
in the northwest where moisture was
said to be needed. In the southwest,
where harvesting has begun, condi-
tions were favorable for the rapid ma
turing of the wheat crop.
The sharp rally yesterday appeared
to have caused the majority OF shorts
to cover, and with this source of de-
mand eliminated, considerable difficult
was experienced in securing purchasers
for offerings except at reduced figures.
In addition, trading was greatly re-
stricted by uncertainty regarding the
government report tomorrow. "A St.
Louis trade journal made bearish re-
port, claiming that the crop conditions
are generally excellent. 60 .. o-Y o
market became firm. Demand grew
quite active, causing a substantial rail-
ly in prices Marked decrease in prim-
for the improved demand. A supple
mentary factor was a report stating
that the drought in southern Russia is
assuming "a more. serious aspect Not
prices advanced considerably above
initial quotations, July selling up to
S6hc. The close was firm, with July
imp &c at S6as "a S61ac.
Weakness prevailed in the corn mar
ket the greater part of the session.
July closed ss lower at 81 hc.
Trading in oats was quiet, and the
market had a steady undertone. July
closed unchanged at 81 q @313sc.
The feature of trading in provisions
was free selling of lard by a local
packer. The volume of business was
quite large Continued liberal receipts
of hogs formed the basis of the weak
