THE STOCK MARKET


 New York, June 26.--The decision to pay tribute to the memory of ex-Pres- ident Cleveland by ending theN stock exchange session at o'clock today fO Ss ss danss sns in stocks. The session was tnsIynit- cant in every way. Fluctuations in prices were narrow and shifting in an were little calculated to stir the mar ket |. from its apathy. The redundant condition of the money market gives promise of being Increased by the York and borrowing terms are so easy as to offer no urgency to holders of se- curities to realize on them. At the same time demand. for securities Is consequence Is almost deadiocked. There was some quiet buying today which was attributed to the further in- fiuence of the cheerful views expressed turning to Europe. Cessation of the pressure against the Rock island is- sues relieved the market from a de- pressing factor and contributed to the activity occurred just at the close when prices enjoyed an uplift that placed half dozen of the leaders q point or time loans were auotably higher today and renewed advance in foreign ex- change rates suggested a possible re- currence of the outward flow of gold Discount rates at Berlin, however, were lower today that being the principal source of expected demand on us for gold. The inference is that Berlin's preparation for the semi-annual set dement's Is completed. The new truRf. companies are withdrawing from the banks the amount of cash necessary to establish the 10 per cent reserve level made obligatory upon them by the law on July 1. This will call for an amount estimated at S20,000.00o and this may account for the frmer tone of the money market. After July 1. the show of hrmness in the money market is ex- pected to relax again. The bonds were irregular; total sales par value. $l.- on call.

 Montgomery won by a score Of to l. was all the reporter could get out or the cottoners yesterday afternoon when he asked the members of the Board or Trade about the price of cotton.
 There had been no sales. and the de- rnand had been so small that there was no basis for price. The result was that local spots were still called nominal The movement to buli the Montgom- ery ball team was still dominant. The figures quoted for July were by some called high. but others thought that with the new team Ryan's stock would advance steadily despite the bull move meat initiated by the loss of Baxter Otherwise the market was without feature.
