SLIGHT DECLINES
 IN STOCK MARKET Market Becomes Stagnant and
 Prices Ease Off INVESTMENT BUYERS IDLE No Incentive Is Found To Stimulate Speculation But Traders on the
 Bear Side Fail To Affect
 Prices Greatly.

New York, June 3O.-There was iair degree of activity during the nrse houi of the stock exchange session today. Ap- naran+lv if took about that length or time to demonstrate to the satisfaction or the professional raders that there Was 1,othing in the market. Their tehtaeiFe operations largely ceased after ehat anu the market lapsed into stagnatlon more profound than anything that hao oeeh witnessed before this summer Ahe amount of borrowed stock that was re- +nrnad to lenders in the loan depart n,ent revealed the extent to which yes terdav,s light buying demand was to De attributed to the reduction of the out standing short interest. Strength rom such a cause had little in it to stimulate speculative buying of stocks. The sup position that yesterdays faint stirring oi demand was herald of relnVestmene buying with the proceeds of the haii yearly disbursements of profits was nes atived by this disclosure of the orisin of the buying.
 The holiday in prospect al 1he eiiu oi the week in a factor in repressing specu- lation. The sentiment ol pi
 traders about the stock exchange IS qulte generally bearish, and the firmness ol tone Is owing in no small part to this fact in spite of the seeming contraulc- tion The bearish sentiment of the trao- ere nronpts them to sell stocks snort anu avery short sale implies a necessity LOT rebuying an equal amount. This Is notential element of firmness in the mar lxet as was demonstrated in the snort lived advance of yesterday. The non success of the bear selling in dislodgng any real holdings of stocks implies on the other hand, the determination or holders not to part with their stocks at present prices.
 That the floating supply of stocks IS scanty is obvious from the difficulty with xhich shorts get back what they have sold. Here comes in the influence Of the ktremely easy condition of the money market. and the general confidence felt lin a profitable yield of the country erops. There was nothing today to change opinions on those important nn- deriving conditions favorable impress sion was made by the resumption ot con struction work said to have been made bv the Union Pacific The wage settle ment announced by the American sheet

and Tin Plate company had like inf1u- ence. Much attention is given in the current discussion in the financial dis trict to the alternative of wage reduc- tions or rate advances which, it is be- lieved, will be forced on the railroads by the shrinkage in their earning power.
 Additional reports of May net earnings made further exhibit of this shrinkage in the case of Canadian Pacific, Reading and Southern railway. In the case of the last named the s1,19S,440 decrease in gross earnings was exceeded by the cut in operating expenses by $27,696 which, therefore, went to a gain in net earnings over May 1907. This repeats the success of this company in preceding months and makes it singular in that respect amongst the railroads thus far reporting net earn ings for May. The maintenance of the Anaconda dividend seemed to be expect ed. Funds were offered in abundance for loans on time with very light demand. The closing day of the fiscal year was the occasion of the 2 per cent call loan rate.
 The days price changes were mostly small declines
 Bonds were steady; total sales, par value, S1,7S3,OOO.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

 FAILS ID ADVANCE Opening Is a Little Higher But
 Decline Follows
WAITING FOR CROP REPORT
Many Private Reports Have Been ls- sued Forecasting the Government Figures, Which Are Ex-
 pected To Be Bearsh.

New York, June 30.-The cotton market was rather steadier today but failed to hold an earlier gain, the close being vance of 5 points, August being the only month to show a loss. Sales of the day were estimated at S5,O00 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 5 points and during the early session sold up to a net gain of to points on better cables than ex- pected and a bullish condition report published by a prominent trade paper. making the average condition of the crop s1.4 per cent whereas the trade had been talking of a government report of from 83 to 84 per cent. Weather reports were generally favorable, however, the weekly report of the weather bureau proved rather better than some had anticipated and during the afternoon the market re- acted to just about the closing figures of last night following the publication of another private condition report, show ing an average of S5.3.
 The close was up from the lowest on renewed covering. No less than seven private condition reports have been Is- sued In the effort to foreshadow the gov ernment's bureau report, which is to be published at noon tomorrow, showing an improvement for the month ranging from l to A per cent. A canvass of IS mem- bers of the local trade indicated that on the average government report of about 83. per cent is looked for
 The official figures will compare with 79.7 per cent iast month, 72 per cent last year, S3.3 per cent in 1906 and a ten-year average of 81.S per cent Southern spot markets officially reported were unchang- ed to 1sc lower.
 Receipts at the ports today 11,312 bales, against S447 last week and 1909 last year. For the week 45,000 bales, against 435S2 last week and 1502S last year Today's receipts at New Orleans 3329 bales, against 459 last year, and at Houston 53S5 bales against 60 last year.

Hubbard aros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, June 3o.-tSpecia1.) )-Busl- ness is at d standstill, waiting the bu- reau report of tomorrow, which, accord ing to the trade estimate of today, should be about 83.5. The weekly weather re- port was favorable, as expected, and the dullness of trade aecentuates the belief that present prices about reflect proper values. Without some new influence to affect them, prices may not be expected to vary much from the present plane. This influence is waited for. A continu- ance of favoring conditions will induce free selling, while any fear during the next month or so will stimulate prices actively. Meantime it is a market with no history.
