NEW YORK, June 9.-The stock mar
ket today showed little animation and
was much of the same character as the
usual midsummer Saturday markets
from the volume of business. Trading
was further restricted. even for a half
holiday, and the general tone was heavy
from the outset. In the absence Of any
considerable quantity of buying orders
little difficulty was experienced in fore
Jag the list downward. ahd fractional
losses were sustained practically

as high as Pa per cent in Reading. Col
orado Fuel likewise was weak, sustain
ing maximum loss of Ia per cent
Rumors Of Crop Damage Circulated.

was recovered before the close. Further
rumors of crop damage in certain sec

movement in the granger roads, in con-
sequence of which ST. Paul. Union Pa

The bank statement was again not

Extraordinary Dealing in Options.

The dealing in options is a form OF
trading that has become one OF the al
most daily actions of the local Stock
Exchange. 1t has been explained before
in this column that il is a method
whereby one broker sells TO another a
certain number of shares of stock at a
given price for a stated time taking
only his obligation TO take IL up at the
expiration Of the time with interest
added to the agreed price, which is gen
orally from one eighth Of a point to q
full point greater than the ruling price
Of the cash stock. II Is a very popular
form OF dealing, particularly at a time
when there is any stringency in the
money market.
A transaction of the kind occurred in
Gas stock on Thursday which was re-
markable In that IL was one of the
largest in that stock for some tinle and
that the broker most interested was on
both sides OF the market, being a seller
OF the stock and a buyer of the options
at one and the same time
This would indicate his confidence that
the next two months would undoubtedly
show a good advance in the stock and

been so successfully accomplished In the

ENINENTLY SATISFACTORY
REPORTS OF BUSINESS
Better Than Usual at This Season
With Bright Outlook
for FAN.

r. c. Dun & Co. say: Current dis
tributiou of merchandise IS largely de-
PENDENT upon the weather. which varies
widely according 70 locality Some sec
tions are experiencing high tempera-
turc. which acceIerates retail sales Of
summer goods. and also brings duplicate
orders TO wholesalers and jObbers, while
country merchants are placing liberal
orders for fan and winter delivery in
{, rmiuc sections where the season ;
crors arc making satisfactory progress.
Else where heavy rains have curJalled
retail business and caused sufficient un-
certainty regarding the crops TO defer
forward contracts. on the whole the
weeks results were encouraging. and
monthly reports for May show splendid
gains over last years figures Manu-
facturers report the usual quiet demand
in leading industries. but the volume of
business on hand assures active ma
chincry until the next season opens,
and there is no disposition to make con-
cessions in GrGer TO secure contracts.
r3radstreets says: ''Jobbing and
y1olesale lines are commencing to re-
fleet the ucual seasonal quietness, new
ertneIess business Is more active than is
customary at this season. and fall orders
for dry goods. clothing. shoes and in
terrelated lines are OF very good volume.
Retail trade has been stimulated by
warmer weather. and the outlook is fo-
! a full seasons trade. Industries. with
/, few exceptions, are active. although
the time is approaching when the usual
summer shutdown will take place.
Grain crop returns become more irregu-
lar as the season progresses. but that
/ fact has not deferred purchases to any
extent. As a whole, the situation is
equal to a year ago. The labor situa-
ton, though disturbed a different points,

VIII There Be an Extra?

The activity In Capital Traction durin z
last week. and the somewhat contradic-
tory methods adopted 10 market the
stock. have set the gossips by the ears
and there is a very anxious desire 10
know what il all means On The ap-
pearance OF the report OF the Senate
District Committee there was a de-
termlned effort TO raid the price. and
the time seemed opportune 10 register
much lower figures.
II was comparatively easy matter
70 get the price down. although the drop
was only about three points. and but a
small quantity of the stock was found
TO be disturbed by the action Of the
Congressions. cOmmittS The friends
Of the road maintained perfect repose,
and with the final action OF the com
mittee came a change OF sentiment The
price Immediately took a turn for the
better recovering by the middle Of the
past week the entire loss sustained
On Wednesday last The supporters OF
the stock were on hand with an evident
determination 10 lift the price TO a
higher level when greatly 10 the sur

siderable size was thrown upon the mar
ket by the representatives Of a banking
house long identified with the road.

was on every lip. The question has not
been answered. but the consensus Of
opinion is that higher range OF prices
may be expected and that the new ex-
tensions now going on may allow of a
distribution OF bonds or some other
method Of disposing Of the improved
earnings.

An 0ppoTtune Movement.

The lack Of interest in Mitchell Mining
stock at the present time and the alb
sence Of daily favorable reports seems
strongly at variance with the activity
that existed couple of months ago. II
is recalled that shortly after the stock
was listed there was short period of
wild excitement and the price was jack
ed up 10 16 with glowing stories of what
was being accomplished. To give color
to the reports a dividend was declared
and paid and everything went merrlly
on to the great satisfaction of those
who had fortunately invested in the
earlier days of the enterprise.
The stoppage OF the dividend was
followed by a marked depression in the
price of the stock and recently figures
have been lower han at any time since
ii was placed on the list. There seems
now an opinion that the payment Of a
dividend was premature as the building
of the railroad will require a large ex-
penditure of money. The completion OF
the road will give improved facilities
for getting the metal 10 the market
and all reports concur that the mines
are very rich in the metal and can be
worked to great profitable advantage
at the present price of copper.

COTTON MARKET QUIET
BUT STRONG IN TONE
Reorts of Damage to Gro From Many
Sources Cause Advance of
Five Points.

NEW YORK. June 9.-Today's cotton
market was quiet, but developed a
much stronger tone and advanced about
i've points throughout the list of op>
tioUs from last nights closing quota
tions. and ended firm on about that
basis. The weeks end statistics proved
much more bullish than had been ex-
peCted. ard many private reports are
coming n from reliable parties in the
South. which indicate that too much has
been taken for granted during the past
ten days IN regard TO the rapid groWth
which the crop has been supposed to be
making by speculators in Wall Street.
and from the information given out in
some Of the more recent crop reports.
These advices denote that the crop IS
suffering in many places from the un-
even distribution of rainfall. during the
last two weeks. and the boll-weevil is
spreading in Texas, and the crop is bad
" in grass in good many sections from
the scarcity of labor. Moreover, the de-
mand for the actual stuff from spinners
and exporters continues on the increa Sc
and a scarcity of even running grades oi
desirable cotton is now being reported
from many points in the South This
combination OF bulIish features would
make it easy to advance prices rather
