NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. June 10-rhe result followed
TO-DAY H. the stock market from the weak
recovery in the price, when some moder-
ate OUTSIDE demand was attracted. The
suficieEcy Of such a new demand to alb
sorh The profit taking sales on Monday
by the professionals who have bought
stocks on the week end rise is regarded
usually as a test of the real strength of
the market Regarded in that light the
action of prices today did not serve to
confirm the appearance Of strength last
week. The moderate advances of the first
hour We're yielded almost entirely before
the force of the profit taking sales. The
SuE ScQlient letharGy was attributed 10 the
desire Of operators to sec the complexion
of the government report of conditions of
the wheat crop before Ventuiing on COM
mitmentS. Prices advanced to the high
est Of today after the appearance of re-
port in conformation with the sharp re
action in wheat The midday reaction to
stocks was helped by the consideration ot
the weekly bank statement of Saturday.
esnecially as SATURDAYS gold shipments
we're supposed not to havA been reflected
in the statements, even with the large eX-
cess in the cash loan over estimates. The
rally in the stocks after the publication
of the crop report was seized bv the pro-
fcssi0nalS as an occasion for free profit
taking and prices ran off again to the
lowest of the day for many stocks ana
made the closing easy.
Bonds We're firm. Total sales. par val
ne. Sl"55mW United States bonds were
unchanged on call.
