STOCK MARKET
OPENS LIVELY
MOTIVES FOR FREE SELLING
NOT CLEAR
Important Failure at Alexandria Has 4
Depressing Effect-Paris Con-
tinues Liquidation of
Securities
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 14--The number of
shares of stock sold in the early trading
on the stock exchange was. largely in
excess of the aggregate for the five
hours of yesterdays session.
This rate Of activity Was by no means
maintained, but the market was appre-
ciably broader and more active than
recently. The motives for the free sell
ing were not clear, beyond the general
discouragement felt by holders of stocks
who are waiting for a profit from higher
prices over the determined action from
building securities, which keeps the de-
mand PROSTATE.
There was selling to some extent, and
the news of an important failure at Alex
andria was a depressing factor in that
market on account of the large commit
ments of British capital in the industrial
extension in Egypt and the fear Of over
expansion there. Paris also continued
the liquidation of securities. DISCOUNTS
advanced in London, Paris and Berlin;
Further engagements of gold for export
were expected, therefore, but were not
announced until after noon: The an
nouncement seemed to check the pres
sure on the stock market for a time,
Indicating that the weakness of stocks
had been through fear of the gold eX-
ports The engagement Of s2,O0O,0OO for
shipment to Paris brings the total 0 on
declining tendency Of New York bank
resources in face Of the requirement or
July l. gives growing Importance to the
Paris demand for gold. The loss by the
banks to the sub-treasury up to Thurs-
day night of $3,3 900 is mostly due to
last Saturdays exports of gold. The
movement of currency shifted this week
largely in favor of New York, 80 that the
loss of cash seems to be between one
and two million dollars. With last
weeks surplus already reduced to below
$7,O000O0 and prospects, OF furtner Ge.
mand next week for gold for export, the
o,,tIooI< GROWS clearer for hardening In
the money market. A cause assigned Tor
some of the selling was the report OF
]. J. Hills discouraging remarks on tne
outlook for railroad credit. Mr.. Hill $
assertion that the government would be
compelled ultimately to lend Its credlt
to the railroads to finance their neeos
was regarded as rather the play OF q
skillfuI dialectician' to ground the course
Of an opponent in an absurdity, than as
n nracticaI suggestion. The contention
that the credit of the railroads has been
r,,ined however and that they cannot
finance a railway offers small ground foi
cheerfulness among owners or raiiroao
secnrities Much Of the selling was az,
tributed to professional operators, but u
was remarked that the decline IN price m,
had no effect in melting demand. Ihe In
decline was equally ineffective. IN DIS
The demand from the uncovered snorts
toward the close of the day was suf'
ficient to cause some considerable re-
covery.

conditions have continued adverse for
retail trade at most points. and bust

Prospects for fall distribution are
brighter because of the better crop re-
ports, and manufacturers received lib
eral orders for next season. Current
and mercantile collections are below
normal, except in sections where country
storekeepers have been enabled to make
prompt settlements because high prices
