MARKET LANGU|D
WITH TONE HEAVY
PROSPECTS OF ANOTHER LARGE
LOAN BY BANKS HAS SLUGG-
lsH EFFECT on EXCHANGE.
Rise of Point in u. S. Steel Has
RalIying Effect on Stocks but
Close Is Irregular.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE demon
strative bidding up in today's market
of a miscellaneous Tot of industrial
stocks and specialittes not usually
conspicuous did not serve to keep up
an effective demand for the usually
active trading stocks The general
market was languid and the tone be-
came heavy after the probability Of
another large loan expansion by the
banks came into discussion.
phe large percentage in the increase
in bank clearings this week over the
corresponding week last year proves
due in large part to the New York City
figures. Those figures for this year are
almost double those of last year, the
increase reaching really a billion The
degree in which spel ulation is respon-
sible for the increase is implied in the
comparison of this weeks sales at the
stock exchange of over 100000 shares
of stock and $35,926,O00 par value of
bond, while for the week ending June
12 1908, sales were 1,667,300 shares of
stock and s11,317 900 par value of
bonds
rise of a point in United States
Steel in the late dealings had a rally
ing effect on stocks, but the market
closed irregular.
The cash statement of the banks
yielded to the expected increase but
the loan expension again proved the
deciding factor in the statement, cut
ting down the surplus a million dollars
in the average.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
par value $2,S4S,000.
