WALL STREET TO-DAY.

New York, June 1s.-The stock mar ket showed improvement at the open ing, prices generally making fraction al gains. Amalgamated opened up 15 and a firmer tone was displayed on the Steel Common but the important fea- ture of the market was the brisk de- mand for leading railroad stocks. New York Central rose nearly a point and substantial gains were made in Balti- more & Ohio, Rock Island & Wabash and Southern Pacific. At the end of the first fifteen minutes, much realiz- ing was ooted. American Smelling dropped s4 but later recovered half of this.
 II a. m.-About the only pressure mo- ticeable in the first hour was that which came from the trading element on the GOT. Most of the professional speculators were committed to the bear side, and after the show of strength at the opening started a sell ing movement in the leading railroads and industrials. Reading declined fractionally. At the end of the hour the market showed a hardening ten dency.
 Government bonds unchanged; other bonds strong.

Dayton, June 1s-Wilbur and Orville Wright were given state and city medals this morning in the presence of 20 or 30 acres of neighbors.

They had counted on a few hundred of their Friends, but when they saw 10000 patriots pushing and showing and fighting with two or three companies of soldiers and squads of police in their efforts to get into the building, genuine pan ic seized them. They actually shook the hands of more than 5000 persons, who passed before them, but the rest had to be satisfied with bows and smiles.
 At the fair grounds this morning, Brig. General Allen of the army sig nal corps presented the medals author ized by Congress.
