NEW YORK, June 22.-In yesterdays
dealings In the stock market some slight In
Cent!ve to speculative activity might have
been found in the very unsettled conditions
prevailing In the European market. Today
even that influence was wanting as there
seemed to be a cessation of the Paris liaui-
dalton in the London market and prices
accordingly were much Steadier there. Con-
soils benefited specifically by reason of the
beginning of IT. portation of gold from
America. An additional engagement of gold
for shipment to London was arranged today
by the same institution which yesterday
inaugurated transfers of the metal to that
point Practically nothing was done here
for foreign account.
There was little or nothing In the over
night developments to engage attention or
at all events to shape speculative sentiment
strongly in one direction or another. The
weekly reports of the mercantile agencies
were by far the most satisfactory exhibits
that have been made for month or more,
fhs improvement being commonly attributed
TO the appearance of seaSonable weather
conditions in all sections of the country
With the course of the morning favorable
forecasts of the weeks bank statement
were circulated but even that circumstance
failed to impart increased animation to the
stock market
Money Market Discussed
Discussion converged mainly upon the
money market outlook as Influenced by the
large export movement of gold and by the
arrangements incidental to the close of the
fiscal year. notwithstanding the additional
shipments OF gold announced today. the
sterling exchange market was decidedly
strong. notably for cabled transfers. There
have been few precedents for such extreme
stagnat!on as prevailed In the days stock
market.
Transactions during the first hour mount
ed to less than 10000 shares, and the pro-
fessed uncertainty with regard to the bank
statement was an excuse for continued in
action up to the publication of that docu-
ment. Comment upon the ceaings in one
stock or another would be altogether super
fuous.
The application of farcical was commonly
applied to the exhibit made In the weekly
bank statement Cash holdings showed a
loss Of only 100000 in -pite of the weeks
gold exports and in the face of the pre-
liminary estimates indicating a much great
er decrease.
The loan account was curtailed s.. 4O3 900
and the deposit item fell s.29O,0OO. The
net result of these inexplicable changes
was an increase IN surplus reserves of ST.
111.OO0 and the latter now stands at s., 62j,-
COO. as against $1O,912,U 100 last year and 49,
ue4.OO0 two years ago.
