srE1NERToNE TT R uo4L GRAND.
In Shape of an Upright Pianosorte.

With the advahcement of scientific inventions that spring up daily, the placing upon the market of a new up- right piano by the Steinertone com pany is of immense interest and value to the piano purchaser. As it is gen. orally known, grand pianos are very expensive, and take up great deal of room, and an upright that contains all the elements of a grand must be vel come news.
 It is claimed by those who have been using the Steinertone vertical grand that it is fully as powerful in tone, and has just as fine a repetition and lightness of touch as grand piano. forte. Iii s therefore a pleasant in- novatlon to record this fact, and as these instruments are sold at manufac- turers' prices they will be welcome and bought by people wishing the very finest piano on the market for the least cost,

STOCK MARKET FEATURES
OUIETUDE PREVAILED WITH
 UNDERLYING STRENGTH.
A Good Trading Market Expected With Trend of Prices Upward-NOt WOr- ried Over Bank Statement--The SteeIS -AmaIgamated-T Crops, Etc.


 Stocks on Saturday ignored the weak tone of the foreign markets, and rallied sonewhat, but ran off again on hqui- dating sales.
 A trading market. this week and next is confidently expected.
 The poor bank statement, with the decrease of S1O,O00,0O0 cash did not alarf traders. Neither did the four per cent. money. The reason was that the decrease in cash was likely to be all explained satisfactorily.
 The market expects to feel the fur ther Equitable squabble, as the cover ing of methods is not liked. The trou- ble, it was felt, was not over.
 The $2 transfer tax is driving away much business from Wall street, but it bothsrs the professional traders who operate daily, as the tax amounts to quite sum in the course of the deal ings. ..-,'. =.
 The marking up of Amalgamated Copper was due to the alleged belief in speculative circl:s that after the annual meeting next Monday a statement of the eon1pany's affffairs will be made FaE which will throw a good deal of light on it's finances and place it in a more favorable light. , %s
 Particular strength was displayed by the Reading, Jersey Central, Copper, and Brooklyn Rapid Transit stocks, in all of which instances the special in- centfves for speculative buying are suf- ficiently familiar & x; .-.. One New York firm says in it's let ter: Based on our knowledge of the situation, We venture to predict that Amalgamated Copper will, in short time, be placed on a 6 per cent. basis, and that the stock will sell we'll above par. The technical position of the stock is splendid.''
 The reports of slackening demand and shading of prices in the steel in= dustry are set down for all that they undoubtedly mean, namely, the normal amount of reaction necessary after a season of great and rapidly expanding activity.
 The advance in Reading was utilized by the men who put it up to distribute some of their holdings. But when they IIlGQ u Scll luy tOuIu OIlly uO Oll concessions.
 The Monon has increased it's dividend on the common stock to 1-2 per cent semi-annually after paying IA per cent.
 There was considerable foreign sell ing of Steel preferred. It was said that stock was being sold there for New York account.
 Political buying occurred in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The tip that it is going up is around in all political circles.
 The publication of the Prick report of the conditions in the Equitable caus- ed a decline in London, which was re- fleeted in a lower opening here. From the Wall street point of view the find- ings were no more sensational than runlors have suggested.
 As to the crops one new feature is that winter wheat deterioratsd during May in about the usual degree; that the percentage condition will be consid- erably reduced in the government esti- mate due on June 10, but that the con- dition will still be found higher than the average and very much higher than for the same time a year ago.
