fRy Associated Press1

NEW YORK, June 25.-The action of the
stock market today was not illuminating in
showing the state of financial sentiment
There were periods of weakness alternating
with periods of strength and neither was re-
sponse to any known news.
The reactionary movement OF the Union Pa
cific stocks rather discredited the rumors used
to push preferred stock suddenly to Sll0 and
the publication Of the plans Of the Southern
Pacific for merging and organizing its Mexi-
can properties aroused a suspicion that this
might be the matter that had given rise to all
the surmises of a coming Hartman financial
plan.
The copper industrials were a center Of de-
preston, the influence Of the London market
on New York increasing rumors that an
operator largely concerned in American cop
pers was in trouble. The receipts Of cash from
the interior seems to have exceeded the ship
ments by upward Of S10,00o,OO0 the largest
movement for any one week of the season.
Deductions to be made are the S214.O 900 ab-
sorbed by subtreasury operations and the gold
exports-a million TO South America early IN
the week and a million engaged today for eX-
port to France tomorrow. The Paris cheque on
London declined again today but the London
discount rate also fell.
The gold movement from New York to
France is not clearly understood, but recent
purchases of Steel in connection with the plan
10 list that stock on the Paris bourse were
given as an explanation for the check to the
outward gold movement. A few specialties
showed isolated strength due to particular
cause. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par

CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service to The Herald by e. F. Hut
ton & Co. members Chicago board OF trade
liz West Third street. Los Angeles
CHICAGO, June 25.-Not since the bull cam
paign in May when wheat was at its height
has there been such remarkable operations
noted in the pit as there was today. This
strength cannot all be attributed to any one
cause. An advance of Ts to ID in English mar
ket this morning even greater advance in
cargoes, the small Argentine shipments anu
confirmation of export sales OF over lVoV'VoO
bushels in all positions yesterday gave the
great strength on opening trades. Ine market
was well sustained later on buying based on
wet weather for harvest in the southwest and
continued reports of small yields from many
OF the winter wheat states Inc sehsauohai
news of the day, which started the excited
bull market during the closing minutes OF the
session, was a report OF 100 boatloads export
business done here by one house and rumor
that export sales in all positions might ne many
times greater It looks as II Europe with snort
crops ahead and the Argentine crop in DOUBT
Is making an effort to secure breadstuns from
our new winter wheat harvest. The advance
is too fast to last but If present condlllohs. ;,
big export demand and wet harvest continues 1t
will be well to get long some wheat on the
first good setback
CORN-This July corn which acted so sick
at 694c yesterday opened strong at 6ssse TO loc
this morning. sold 70Ssc at high points and
closed at 7014c. The late months showed a
little less snap. September going TO SIC and
closing at 67%G677sc. The cash market was
up 5bQ%c this morning. With this kind OF
business going on and weather altogether TOO
wet over several big corn states the shorts are
timid and buying of futures is of good char-
acter Shipping sales Of corn yesterday ana
today aggregate over 100000 bushels
OATS-Made a good record for the day, SELL
ing high at 50iac: July, 43%c; Sept. 44c
PROVISIONS-Ev favored a strong
market in hog products for the day. Packers
were early buyers of ribs. Strength In grain
markets caused speculative buying of products.
Believe In the buying side of the product on the
sharp dip will be likely to show profits.

Rradstreet,s Review

NEW YORK, June 25.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row Will say: Improvement in weather and
crops and further expansion in the advance
mont OF Industrial operations are noted this
vgaelx Retail reports are still irregular, ex-
oesslve heat being credited with retarding
distribution in some sections. Jobbing trade
reports are slightly better but by far the best
renorts as to distrbutive trade come from
,,tholesale lines The industrials led by iron
and steel show expansion Of operations, larger
output and some wage advances. More confi-
dence is expressed than at any preceding
ti,9e since the depression began. The situation
in leather trade is one Of great strength, based
apparently upon the scarcity Of hides Bust
ness failures in the United States for the
week ended June "a were 225, against 2l3 last
n,eeir 95s In the like week Of 1908. 150 in 1907,
