SELLING IN THE STOCK MARKET General Encouragement of Holders Over Demand DRAINING BANK RESERVES With Surplus Reduced Outlook Grows Clearer of Hardening Money.
 Gold Exports to Paris

DRAINING BANK RESERVES

New York, June 14.-The number of shares of stocks sold during the first hour of today's session of 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 main tained, but the market was appreciably broader and more active than in the re- cent past. The motives for the free sell ing which poured into the market were not clear beyond the general discourage ment felt by holders of stocks who are waiting for a profit from higher prices over the determined absention from buy ing securities which keeps the demand prostrate.
 London was a seller here to some extent and the news of an important failure at Alexandria was a depressing factor in that market owing to the large commit ments of British capital in the industrial extension in Egypt and the fears of over expansion there. Paris also continued the liquidation of securities. Discounts ad- vanced in London, Paris and Berlin. Fur ther engagements of gold for export were expected. therefore, but were not an- nounced until afternoon. The announce ment seemed to check the pressure, and the stock market for time indicated that the weakness of stocks having been through fear of the gold exports The engagements of s2,OOOOoo for shipment 10 Paris by tomorrows steamer brings the total on the present movement to SIP, ,49O,- GOO.
 The draining tendency of New York bank resources in face of the coming re- quirement for the July l settlement gives growing importance to the persistent Paris demand for gold The loss by the banks to the sub-treasury up to Thurs day night of 8, ,695, 600 is mostly due to last Saturdays s exports of gold The move anent of currency at the interior has shift ed this week largely in favor of New York With last weeks surplus already reduced to below $7,00O 900, and prospects of weakness for gold for export, the out look grows clearer for hardening in the money market.
 All money loaned today at 4 per cent. Some special weakness in Union Pacific was due to an uncorroborated report of intended suit to compel the company to divest of ownership of stocks of other railroads There was severe pressure upon Reading also, and this was connected with reports discrediting previous rumors of an intended increase in the dividend rate. A cause assigned for some selling was one of J. J. Hills diseouraging re- marks on the outlook for railroad credit. MT. Hills assertion that the government would be compelled ultimately to lend it's credit to the railroads to finance their roads were regarded rather the play of skilful dialectician to ground the course of an opponent in an absurdity, than IS practical suggestion.
 The contention that the credit of the railroads has been ruined, however and that they cannot finance a recovery, of-
