Nothing of Great Import Occurred in
Yesteday's Stock Market -- Re-
manned in Rut.

New York, June i0.-The stock mar
ket remained in a rut today, the total
shares sold containing about the low
record for over year past.
Even with the shrunken total a pro
portion of activity in three or four
speculative favorites was maintained
TO the detrment in comparison OF the
usual run of stocks
The advance of price of copper was
the basis for rise in the group of
stocks concerned in that industry,
which gave some sympathetic strength
to the general list.
| The advancing tendency of the price
of copper was made to contrast with
| the cut in prices in steel products, i'll
! the benefit now resulting from the
earlier response of the copper market
to diminish the demand by the mark
| ing down of prices.
| United States Steel sold minus the
quarterly dividend Of u to | per cent
land recovered that amount before mid
day.
The reduced dividend rate on WEST,
Tern Union stock has been adequately
foreseen, the fact of payment being
made in cash instead of in stock as
for two previous diyiyends, being ac
eepted apparently, as compensation in
part for the reduction in the rate,

reflection of this news in the stocF
market was the heaYiness of Atchison

the result of some experiments.
