Sugar Refining company and the agitation for prosecution by the federal govern ment under the antitrust law might re> vive anxiety on the part of investors in corporations and prejudice the movement to attract foreign capital into them The firmer tone of the money was of only slight deterrent effect on the speculation in stocks. Rates for call loans ranged from ? per cent to above that figure. The banks of England and France made very strong returns today and the dis count rate declined in Paris, while the Paris cheque on London advanced.
 A relaxation in the pressure on New York for gold is thus indicated. On the other side, however, a fall in New York exchange at Chicago to par compared with 8 cents per s1000 premium a week ago shows an ebbing of the flow of cur rency to New York and gives the pre- monition of coming requirements for the movements of the countrys crops. Rates for time loans for the longer maturities have advanced a fraction and keener scrut- iry of collateral in stock market loans by bankers was reported. The irregular ity of the market increased as the day advanced.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $6,410000.

PRICE OF WHEAT
 BREAKS SHARPLY Improved Crop Conditions Cause the Weakness THE MARKET CLOSES WEAK New High Records Are Again Touched In Corn But Close Is Off From
 Top-oats and Provisions
 Also Close Easy.
THE MARKET CLOSES WEAK

Chicago, June 10-Wheat prices broke sharply today. owing to general selling. based on improved crop conditions in the southwest. The July delivery dis played the greatest weakness and sold off 2ssc from the high point of the day. The market closed weak at losses of 1RQD ssc to 11sQ1Ac compared with the previous final figures Corn, oats and provisions were adversely affected by the slump in wheat and closed easy.
 The wheat market was weak all day with the exception of a brief period at the start, when prices rose to a point a trihe above yesterdays closing figures as a result of unexpected strength at Liverpool. The weakness became dec1- edly pronounced in the final hour and the July delivery was subjected to heavy selling pressure. Much of the selling late in the day was of a stop-loss character.
 Bearish sentiment in the pit was due mainly to a material improvement in the condition of the fall-sown crop as indi- cated In numerous reports which were received from Kansas, Nebraska and the Ohio river valley. According to some ad- vices the crop in Kansas is improving daily as a result of recent rains, and harvesting will begin on a general scale next week. Floods in some sections of the southwest, however, were said to have wrought some damage to growing grain. An estimate on the weeks ship ments of wheat from Argnentina which shows a gain of nearly 100000 bushels compared with the previous week. was
 or1,r in ha range on the July delivery for the day was between $1.162 and S1.19as. The mar ket closed weak and only a trife above the low point with July at $1.16Bq117.
 New high records for the season were established in the corn market when the July delivery sold at 7S94c and the Sep tember at 707sc per bushel. Sentiment in the pit was bullish the greater part of the day, but the market finally yield ed to the weakness of wheat and closed at almost the lowest point, although prices were still a trifie above yesterdays final figures The December option was an exception and closed at a net loss of Ac. The strength was due to wet weather and a falling off in local receipts Trade was active and general with shorts and commission houses in the buying.
 Trade in the oats market was quiet and prices fluctuated over range of about 5hc. The market was quite firm early in the day because of the strength of corn but eased off on selling brought out by the break in wheat Crop condi- tion were excellent, but local receipts were small. The close was easy with prices a shade lower to a shade higher than yesterdays finals.
 Provisions were firm at the start but weakened on realizing, based on increased receipts of live hogs at western pack ing centers. Prices at the close were 10c to 15c lower.

COTTON MARKET
 VERY IRREGULAR Close Is Firm With Advance In
 Some Options WEATHER NEWS gEARlSH Bull Support Is Not Aggressive and Belief In a Prospective Advance Is Not Strong Among the
 Brokers.
WEATHER NEWS BEARlSH

New York, June 10.-The cotton mar start but ruled generally firm during the middle session and closed steady, net unchanged to 2 points higher.
 The opening was steady at decline of points to an advance of 1 point, July being points lower, while the new crop was 1 point lower to 1 point high CT; rather better than due on the cables. The weather map indicated generally favorable conditions In the south, but advices from cotton goods circles were bullish there seeming to be comparatively little cotton offered for either spot or future delivery and the market soon 1irmed up on a mod crate demand from spot interests, scat tered covering and little buying by houses with south ern connections.
 There was no aggressive bull SUD- port and the trading did not become at all active but offerings were very light and prices worked steadily higher until the general list showed a net advance of about to 12 points with October selling at 10.82c and Decem- Der at 10.S4c, or 20 to 22 points above the low level of yesterday, and within 16 to 20 points of the high price for the season.
 A tip that the market would be put to Il cents before the end of the week received very general circulation, but was followed by considerable realizing and the market sold off from the ton toward the close. Possibly apprehen- sions of unsettled weather in the Mis- sissippi valley based upon the forecasts for unsettled weather in the western belt and local showers in Mississippi had some influence during the day, but so far as official reports went the weather current in the belt during the past "A hours was considered good. Southern spot markets officially reported early were unchanged to hc lower.
 Receipts at the ports today. 4559. against 9334 last week, and SOO7 last year. For the week, 55O00 bales. against 59,361 last week and 64,544 Ia st year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 26O6 bales, against 3452 last year.

STOCK MARKET IS
 MORE ASSERTIYE
Sentiment Is ReasSured and
 Bulls Take Courage
ADVANCES ARE UNEVEN
Southern and Union Pacific Take on More Strength and Opening Mill at EnsIey Aids United States
 Steel Stocks.

New York June 10.-The action of the stock market today indicated the re- sumption of some important operations on the long side. The effect was to re- assure sentiment amongst the board room operators and traders and they refrained from attacks on prices or from attempts to establish lower quotations. Transac tlons fell below the recently prevailing volume and the commission house buy ing was restricted to a few stocks cal cuated best to influence feeling toward the whole market Signs of profit talk ing sales were still in evidence at a few points and the advance was uneven, leav ing some important laggards. Union Pa cifc continued a leader of the upward movement in contrast with the sluggish movement of the Southern Pacific stocks The latter stocks were freed from the pos tive weakness which they showed yes- terday. Northern Pacific was even more prominent than Union Pacific. It's rapid advance was accounted for by rumors that steps were being taken to intro duce the stock to the Paris bourse In the same way as has been done in the case of United States Steel.
 The denials from bankers interested that any hitch had occurred in the plans for trading in United States Steel in Paris as was rumored with depressing effect yesterday relieved United States Steel from pressure and 1t more than recovered it's quarterly dividend during the day. The stock was helped also by the report of the reopening of the Ensley, Ala, steel rail mills. Feeling regarding the steel trade continues confident and hope full. The news overnight of a rise in wages of workers for several of the ln- dependent steel companies was taken as eonfirmatory of improving conditions in the trade.
 The good impression of metal trade con- dtion was aided by the May statistics of the Copper Producers association, pub lished during the day. The copper in- dustrials made only moderate response to this showing decline in the price of copper warrants in the London mar ket was an offsetting influence. The in- troduction to trading on the stock ex- change of contracts for the new Atch- ison convertible bonds when issued was made the occasion for bullish demon- stration in Atchison steel stock. The re- ports of crop conditions were regarded favorably, although the need of dry, warm weather for the best effect on parts of the winter wheat crop was reported.
 There was some apprehension expressed ir stock market circles that the recent course of litigation against tha American

The only feature is the uncertainty of the weather condi- tions which do not favor selling.

The slight advance was due to outside demand, as the local trading Is light and narrow.
