Butter, Cheese and Eggs

Conditions in the market for eggs and dairy
produce remained the same yesterday as the
two preceding days and the only change in the
quotations was an advance of 1c in extra butter
which was quoted at 2s1ae pound. The new
quotation was bid for supplies under the call on
the exchange, but the bid failed to bring out
any stocks. Receipts Of all three descriptions
were far in excess of market needs. but the
movement into cold storage absorbed all surplus
stocks There was not a trade on the exchange
Buyers offered &c 1ac a dozen for extra eggs and
131ac pound for fancy hat cheese, but sellers
ignored the offers
Receipts were 32.1OO pounds OF butter. 1900

RAILWAYS SHOW
MORE EARNINGS

NEW YORK, June S.-There was
some speculative hesitation re-
flected in the action of today's
stock market, partly due to the
rapidity of the advance of the day
before and partly to the conflict
OF opinion over the situation Gre
ated by the railroad rate settle
ment.
The contrary views expressed
by railroad executives themselves
were responsible for the conflict of
opinion. especially the announce
ment by President Brown of the
New York Central that work call
ing for $4,000, 900 expenditure and
orders for freightcars, which had
been held up as a result of the
rate injunction, would be resumed,
in contrast with the assertion of
President Ripley of the Atchison
that his company would not de-
part in any degree from the poll
icy of retrenchment decided on
after the action of the govern
ment against the rate advances.
London Joined in a substantial
way in the early selling brought
about by these conditions.
The heavy selling of st. Paul
and the discouraged feeling ex-
pressed in a published interview
with a capitalist prominent in that
party were corroborative of the
conviction that divergence of
opinion existed among prominent
groups in the financial world.
Much attention was given to the
question of railroad earnings as
they would be affected by the
postponement of rate advances
until approved by the commerce
commission and the probable
period OF that postponement. That
the advances would ultimately be-
come effective was the usual as
sumption.
Railroad earnings for March are
the latest for which comprehen-
sive returns have been received
by the commerce commission from
9S per cent of the total mileage
of the country. The increase in
gross earnings in that month over
March of last year was shown to
be 31,5S5,S 500, or 1854 per cent,
and in net $s,O0o,0oo, or 1852 per
cent. Last years earnings for
March had registered the shrink
age of about $4,000, 600 in gross
earnings, and $1O,o00,ooo in net
earnings.
The May statistics of the Copper
Producers association offered lit
tie ground for encoura cement, the
months production having been
the largest, with the exception of
October of last year, for any
month since the association was
formed, deliveries meantime hav-
ing remained stable at about the
level of the last three months with
the result of another addition of
1s,441,814 pounds to the surplus
stocks of the metal. The total
surplus, which is thus brought up
to I6O,425,973 pounds, nevertheless
represents only about six weeks
consumptive requirements at the
present rate of demand
Quotations for copper were
lower, both in London and New
York. An increase Of pig iron
stocks, in May, in spite Of cur
tailed production, induced a pre-
diction by the Iron Age that the
blowing out of furnaces had not
gone far enough
A favorable view was taken of
the government crop reports.
Money was easier, but foreign ex-
change recovered in response to
selling of stocks for London ac-
count, and in spite of predictions
of a reduction in the Bank of Eng
land discount rate tomorrow.
Bonds were firm; total sales, par
