Stock Market.

New York, June 2.-stocks-The
market held very we'll today notw!th-
standing the timidity of the traders 20
take active position on he long side.
There was some hesitation at times,
but the better support checked shcrt
selling and caused some covering on
the part of those who got out of stocks
yesterday About the only active de-
mand came from the shorts, but when
this buying subsidized prices were de-
pressed on moderate selling. The big
interests are apparently letting the
market take it's own course and only
give support when necessary. We be-
lieve reactionary movements are moth
ing much more than a breathing spell
and when this promiscuous liquidation
exhausts itself the upward movement
will be continued. The situation looks
too favorable for the controlling fac
tions to reverse their position on the
market and we see no reason for
alarm. Chas. E. Lewis

Innumerable kilograms were re-

have their explanation in maneuvers
which have been going on in certain

Chicago, June 22.--Wheat: The for
eign markets responded to our advance
yesterday and our market followed for
a while after the opening. During the
day there was some pressure on the
nearby futures. due to some freer Of
ferings OF new wheat but the far of
months were strong and closed higher.
Some apprehension is being felt on
account of the continued wet weather
in the west. Other conditions remain
unchanged. The European visible de-
creased 100000 bushels bringing it
down to about the same as last year.
eports indicate that importing coun-
tries have light supplies and must con-
tinue buying. We believe in higher
prices but the movement of the mar
ket may remain within narrow limits
for some time.
