MARKET REPORTS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET,
Features Of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

| New York, June S.-Thc long persistine
rumors of IA general cut in the price OF
steel products gained more authoritative
| form today, and it came to be generally
believed. during the days session of the
Stock Exchange that substantial reduc-
lions would not commence Immediately
for al lines except steel The policy OF
the steel IN holding prices had subject of
staying criticism ever since it was form
ulated and the conviction is general that
the mark down of prices will be the
the trade. The miseivings over the
news contemplated by the steel trade,
and which were reflected in the dull de-
preston of the days stock market, have
TO do more with the delay in it's adop-
ton than with a question of its desir-
ability.
The fear that wage reimbursement which
must follow the price revision may lead
to contr4ycrsy in the midst of the ma
tional political campaign is an additional
fact OF initiating against the favorable
effect marketwise of the incident. OF
more general considerations attention

the market by the forces which have
sought to pave the way for this flotation
