NEW YORK, June 5.-Most of to-
days small business in stocks was
done during the first hour of the ses-
sion. There was a notable congestion
of the dealings in a few speculative
favorites, but such as it was the mar
ket showed distinct firmness.
The dullness approached at times to
stagnation and there was nothing to
show any share in the market on the
part of any professional element.
Among these the sentiment seemed to
be cheerful and various pools sig
nalized their presence by their activity
in special stocks.
The market had one decided set
back on realizing after the opening
advance and another at the last which
reduced prices at the closing. The
profit taking was especially large in
Amalgamated Copper, which had risen
a point and then fell back to point
below Saturday after the publication
of the financial statement of the COM
pany. The sympathetic effect of this
relapse carried back the whole market.
United States Steel preferred took
up most of the recovery and was in
turn strong sympathetic influence on
the general list. Ontario & Western
was again in large request and rumors
were revived of the guarantee of a
dividend by New York Central and
New York, New Hampshire and Hart
ford.
Amalgamated Copper did not revive
effectually from the effect of the real
izing movement and closed with net
loss of IL.
The taking up of the advance by the
United States Steel stocks was re-
garded as a good augury for the whole
market as the persistent heaviness of
these stocks had been drag, occa-
sioning tendencies to rally during the
last few days. There were rumors of
favorable earnings, making for the
current quarter in connection with the
advance.
Some effect was produced by the ap-
pearance of negotiations looking to-
ward bringing about peace between
Russia and Japan.
The subsistence of the violent storm
, in the Equitable controversy was a
relief to sentiment, although that sub
ject continued to be actively discussed
in the financial world and to be re-
garded as fraught with possibilities
of further harm.
Railroad traffic officials spoke in a
cheering tone of business prospects,
the volume of offerings being held we'll
above last years level. The feeling
regarding the crops on the whole was
more hopeful than has recently pre-
vailed and contributed materially to
the firmness of stocks.
The money market retained its un-
ruffled surface, notwithstanding the
weakness of the Saturday bank state
ment and some further large money
transactions. including transfer
through the sub-treasury of $2,OOO,0OO
to San Francisco.
The market showed itself soft to the
effect of profit taking by the room
traders and closed heavy, with the
gains much reduced or wiped out
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value, $2.510,000.
United States bonds were all un-
changed on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Extremely Weak-corn Firm
and oats Strong
BY Assoclated Press.

By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 5.-Weakness In the
wheat market was in evidence at the
start, initial quotations on July being
off B@Ac to &c at SS0SS1sc
One reason for the opening decline
was the bearish tenor of weekly statis-
tics. The fact that the worlds ship
ments of wheat during last week were
extremely liberal had an important in
1uence, but the figures showing the
total movement were apparently of less
interest to traders in general than the
figures giving the amount exported
from Russia. According to the official
statistics, shipments of wheat from
that country during the past week
were double the total of the previous
week.
Furthermore, conditions in the United
States were apparently regarded as
increasingly favorable to an abundant
harvest. Weather in the southwest
was dry and temperatures were much
higher.
From the start commission houses
and shorts were free sellers. AS trad
ing progressed, selling became more
general. With almost nothing from the
country but bearish news concerning
the crop, weakness became more pro-
nounced. One report from Kansas
City stated that harvesting began to-
day in some sections of southern Kan
sas, and that operations would be gen.
eral by next week.
AT SIC, July reached the lowest point
of the day. The market closed eX-
tremely weak, with July 1@1Bc lower,
at S7Ac.
Considering the excellent weather,
the corn market had remarkably
firm undertone. The close was firm
and active, July being up Ac, at 49Bc.
Covering by influential shorts caused
decided strength in the oats market.
July closed 5sc up, at S1Ac.
Provisions were firm throughout the
entire session. AT the close, September
pork had gained 121sc. lard was up so
71sc, at S7.571a and ribs were up 10
@121ac.
