were not carried out as expected on
account of quite shower of rain
about arriving time. But it soon
cleared off and the fun continued.
Parlor games were played until all
the guests arrived, after which games

NEW YORK, June 14.--The move
ment of prices In the stock market to-
day was hardly more than drift. The
boardroom traders with their utmost
diligence were able to find but scant
material on which to base operations
Their own transactions were respon-
sibe for the sluggish price movement,
and when they found that they were
not gaining any recruits they reversed
their operations. A slow up movement
dragged itself out and then yielded on
a diminishing scale of dealings under
this process.
The morning advance was accom-
panied by professions of satisfaction on
the part of the boardroom element over
the approaching end of the railroad
struggle and by expressed hopes that
public agitation of measures against
the railroads would quiet down after
ward. From the railroads, however,
claims of the necessity for further rate
advances were urged in order to enlist
needed capital for the conduct of their
business. From this it was inferred
that the hearings before the interstate
commerce commission on the proposed
increases are to be accompanied by
further protestation of the insufflciency
of present earnings to attract capital.
Pending the settlement of the rate
question there is the fear that demand
for stocks and bonds by foreign in
Vestors will be impaired.
Reports were circulated today of re-
trenchment orders said to have been
made by Northern Pacific officials at
the time of the rate injunction and not
rescinded The weekly bulletin of the
weather bureau reported unfavorable
crop weather In most of the country,
and the cotton market was influenced
by such reports today. An extra divi-
dend of 2 per cent declared by the Cen
tral railroad of New Jersey following
similar declaration in December gave
rise to efforts to fix a regular periodic
ity for these extra disbursements. A
4 per cent yearly dividend was declared
also on Mobile & Ohio. compared with
only 2h per cent in 1909. These an
nouncements were without influence on
the general tone of the market. A
slightly firmer tone in the call loan.
market was connected possibly with the
call on Atchison convertible bonds
underwriters, for payment of 25 per
cent of their subscription. The foreign
exchange market was lower.
Bonds We're steady; total sales, par

United States bonds were unchanged
