New York. June 29.-The stock mar
ket made some stand today against
the disappointment caused by the fail
ure of the New York City bond CT
fering. The small number of bids for
the bonds did not. in fact, come as a
surprise to the banking world, N

the stock market for speculative effect.
1t appeared, however, that most Of
the selling prompted by the disaG-
polntment had been completed yester-
day and prices were bid up again to-
day. Assistance was given to this
movement by the circulation of rum0rs
that the bank statement would prove
an agreeable disappointment. The
statement failed to reflect the heavy
loan contraction which had been alles-
ed in these rumors and the cash loss
ran to the full figures of the estimates.
There was some loan contraction,
