STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Professional Testing Operations Alone
Disturb General Apathy.

New York, June 2a-The stock
market was apathetic to-day and the
sluggish drift Of prices represented
nothing more substantial than the
testing operations of professionals.
These transactions are no sooner con
cluded than they are retracted by sell
ing out of new purchases or by re
purchases Of short sales The re
Spouse OF the market is sufficient In

II to themselves In the entire alb
sence Of outside participation there Is
no incentive for the professionals even
to extend their commitments. There
was little to indicate any notable
change in fundamental conditions.
The present firm undertone of the
market evidently Is based on the CON
viction that improvement lies ahead,
and poor showing OF present condi-
tons seemms not to have much effect
in shaking this conviction. Railroad
earnings reports show no sign OF the
promised Improvement In business

balanced in It's promise from different
localities as to neutralize II as O. stock

Chicago, June miss Mary r.
Miller, q Chicago attorney, has just
received a fee of 100000 for success
fully prosecuting a suit on behalf of
the grandchildren of the late William
Rross for the distribution Of his So
100000 estate
Under the will the estate was TO be
held in trust until the youngest OF the
grandchildren reached the age of thir-
ty years That was the construction
placed upon IT by Azariah T. Gait, the
administrator who contested the suit
for immediate distribution
Miss Miller argued that under that
construction the estate might never be
distributed among the heirs It was in
tended to benefit The Youngest of
the grandchildren John Bross Lloyd,
Is now twenty-five years old and the
oldest, William Bross Lloyd, is thirty
three Miss Miller argued that should
any of the heirs die before the young
est reached the age OF thirty years
an injustice would be done them.
Judge Carpenter ruled that the trus-
tees construction of the will would
make the estate vest at too remote a
period, and ordered distribution Of 1t

half hour, Before II o'clock. how
ever. the pressure became less heavy,
and II was apparent that not much

sales appeared TO be offerings for
short account. An effort to buy back
stocks in the second hour caused a
sharp rebound around 1880 o'clock,
which was carried up TO early the
afternoon. The volume of business
was much larger between II and
o'clock. The rise in stocks was con-
tinued into the last hour at which
time the highest prices Of the day
were reached The market appeared
to broaden and various stocks which
