STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Action Yesterday Did Not Serve to Con- firm Last Weeks Apparent Strength.

New York, June 1O-The usual result followed to-day in the stock market
 from the weekend recovery in prices
 That is, some moderate outside demand
 was attracted. The sutficiency of such
 a new demand to absorb the profit talk
 ing sales on Monday by the profession als who have bought stocks on the week end rise is regarded usually as a test or the real strength of the market. Re- garded in that light the action of prices to-day did not serve to confirm the ap pearanee of strength last week. The moderate advances in the first hour were yielded almost entirely before the force of the profit taking sales. The subsequent lethargy was attributed to the desire of operators to see the com plexion of the government report of condition of the wheat crop before ven turing on commitments, It was not un- til the appearance of this report which was delayed until o'clock that any, thing like animation revived in the stock market, It gave prompt evidence then of relief from the apprehension caused by the reports of Saturday re- garding the extreme deterioration of the Kansas crop, and by gloomy fore casts uttered by a private crop expert and circulated on the financial district to-day. The governments figures were accepted as refutation of these alarming reports. The decreased acre. age sown in spring wheat seemed to have no disturhinp affect on san+;voo,,4 any more than did the decline in condi- ton of that crop compared with last year. Prices advanced to the highest of the day after the appearance of the report in consonence with the sharp re- action in wheat. The midday reaction to stocks was helped by the considera- tion of the weekly bank statement of Saturday, especially as Saturdays gold shipments were supposed not to have been reflected in the statement, even with the large excess in the cash loss over estimates. An important develop ment in the International money situa- ton was the cessation of the paris de- mand for gold.
 The rally in stocks after the publica- ton of the crop report was seized bv as an occasion for free profit taking and prices ran off again | to the lowest of the day for many stocks and made the closing easy.
 Bonds were firm Total sales par value, $1,255,0OO.
 United States bonds were unchanged | on call.
