NEW YORK. June 11.-During the
greater part of the business session upon
the Stock Exchange today trading was
conducted upon even a smaller scale than
during the earlier part of ;he week The
markets tone was again for the most part
indeCisive and insignificant.
All the local traction stocks were natu-
rally unfavorably affected by the pas
sage of the Hart-Agnew race-track meas
ures. and it was considered that the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in par
ticular must suffer heavy decreases in
earnings in consequence.
With the exception of those issues there
was little nothing to be adduced in
connection with the movements - par
ticular stocks.
The London stock market was generally
heavy, there being some disappointment
at the failure of the management of the
Bank of England to reduce the minimum
discount rate of that institution.
Copper stocks were, however. exception
ally firm In the London market and in the
local dealings Amalgamated Copper was
likewise steady. Operations here for for
eign accounts were in light volume. bu,
showed on balance a small excess of pur-
ChaSes.
Steel Shares Sluggish.
The United States Steel shares were
sluggish in common with the market at
large and gave little reflection to the
animadversions upon the limited extent of
the cuts recently ordered in selling prices
Western Union fiHctuated somewhat wide

ket for the new 4 per cent bonds on the
curb, but the local and London bankers
handling the fotation closed the .subscrip-

Political affairs naturally occupied the
leading place in interest but the develop

satisfactory from Wall street viewpoint.

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

Gas certificates took another upward
hitch today ct the meeting of the STOCK
Exchange when. after a sale of bond
for 1915. that was the bid for another
bond, but there was no offering at any
price.
The level reached in the bid is the
highest reached by this security since
the decline set in which was attributed
to the approach of the period when the
company could exercise its discretion IN
paying them off or letting them continue
for fifteen years. 1t is supposed that the
better figures which are quoted IN the
case of these securities is due to the
theory that the company Is not gong 10
use its option, at least at par.
There was nothing done in the stock OF
the company and it was with some re-
luctance that a bid of 63 was secured.
which is two points less than that OF
yesterday.
Lower levels marked the course of the
traction securities. although there was
but little business done in them. Some
odd lots of Capital Traction stock sold
on a range of from 1251s to 1261s and the
