THE STOCK MARKET

'
 New York. June 2e.-Today's stock mar ket confirms the tendency of the previous days of the week by the arrest of yester- sn. s bs and the sg:s nothns to account for this new reversal of the narrow movement and 1t was obviously to the hands of small professional operat- ors and their unwfilingness to venture far from shore in the absence of any initiative by strong speculative leadership.
 Support was evident in Union Pacific and this was the most effective factor in the market The Union Pacific refunding bonds when fssnsd continued to sell below the reception price and with the majority of the transactions at yesterdays low fig Discounts eased again in London and the tone of our foreign exchange market was easy. Authorities in the exchange market however. are inclined to look for some renewal of the gold outgo next week when the sales of exchange remittances Tor foreign subscriptions to the Union Pacific dement's are met abroad the demand Tor our gold is expected to subside. The making of winter wheat harvest was ben, eficial factor of importance as the critical period for that harvest causes feeling of anxiety over any harmful prospects.
 The statement of May net earnings of the Pittsburg. Cincinnati Chicago and St. Lou is show the benefit of an effective cut In some extent the bad effect of the Balti- more and Ohio statement published some days ago. The unsettled closing was que to a sudden decline in Rock Island securf- ties.
 The large change in the items of the bank statement must be read in the light of inclusion of accounts of a new clearing house member who added sl4,0oo.0 900 of de- posits. $4.oOo.o00 cash and &l0.0o0.000 loans to the statement. The percentage or re- serve to deposits indicates the unabated accumulation of banking resources. The trust company statement does not show any progress by those institutions toward the Increase of reserve. which must be at ten per cent. by July 1.
 Bonds were irregular total sales. par value. SI,35I.0o0. United States 2s and the 4s registered have advanced k per cent. and the 4s coupon k per cent. on call dur ing the week.

CUSTOM TARIFF REVISION.
San Domingo Has Taken the PreltmIn
 ary SteDa


 Washington, June 21-San Domingo has taken the preliminary steps look ing to a revision of her customs tar if according to information received at the Insular hureau of the War De- parSment.
 The existing tariff Is said to be obso- lete, archaic and not adapted to polit- teal conditions on the island. It is a patchwork sort of an affair. schedules being altered and amended as the gov ernment needs funds to meet the de- mands of the creditors and to carry on the work of administration.
 As 5000 as the preliminary work. in- cidental to the schedules is completed, the matter will he referred to the Do- minican Congress for action. Under the arrangements advanced. with the cooperation of the American govern ment. a certain amount of money ap- proximating $100.000. must be raised yearly for the Americanization of the bonds issued in the settlement of va rious claims against the island gov ernment. Reports received at the In- sular Bureau show that under the American administration the customs receipts have increased steadily.
