Henry clews & Co.'s Letter.

New York, June Coin spite Of the
active and promising condition of gen
era business as we'll as a satisfactory
crop outlook. the stock marker record
ed some positive declines during the
week just closed. Liquidation was the
cause, prompted by unsatisfactory
monetary conditions and the evident
selling Of stocks for some time past
on liberal scale by prominent hold
err, The decline was accentuated by
the liquidation of speculative accounts
causing a more or less unsettled tone
10 the general market, Little atten-
|tion was paid to the record breaking
July disbursema nts. which are
usually depended upon 10 stiffen val
ues and induce an investment demand
Of more or less importance. At the
moment the investment demand Is in
different. chiefly because shrewd buy
ers consider that prices have been 700
high and that, in view of the various
conflicting influences there may be
opportunity to buy below the present
level There Is consequently less con.
ildence in the mdartone of the mar
he than for several months. II is true
prices now show a considerable shrink
age from recent high records Never
thelc-s large operators are not bullish
in heir views; and, having parted
with considerable linz of stocks. are
not likely 70 re-enter the market until
a satisfactory decline 4, forthcoming
Another element working for lower
prices is the attitude Of banking in or.
ests. The best banking opinion leans
strongly towards a further contraction
of loans, a closer scrutiny of collat
oral and the strengthening Of reserves.
Credit has been greatly expanded for
past and prudence now die
iates greater care and discrimination
in the making Of loans II Is better TO
do mi. while general conditions are
good than TO wait for more pronoun-
red reactonary tendencies.
The money market was but little |
disturbed by preparations for July |
and the fact thai |
Europe Is willing 70 take our obliga- |
ions or grant uS further expansion |
In credits is q reas-uring factor In the /
money market Further important is

iitional burdens upon our already

A. it is. much relief ha been oh
a'nai through the placing of the

that Europe would take
