NEW YORK. June 20.-Today's
stock market was largely repetition
OF yesterdays with the same strong
undertone. the same narrow trading
and the same lack or enthusiasm.
Every one was too busy reading the

heed to the perfunctory performance.
sAfter opening slightly below yester'
day. prices recovered, and by after.
noon most OF the active shares showed
fractional gains for the day

preparing to manicure his nails, when his eye caught the headline of last weeks newspapers. He whistled softly a few stanzas of "Everybody's Doing It." for he had perceived the statement of MT. Weatherly to the effect that after the de- feat of the contract he, himself, would precipitate the fight for municipal owner ship of the waterworks The he made him whistle.

 Therefore. "Gentlemen Jim found on his arrival at the city hall the cards well stacked against him.
 At the meeting of the commission, Judge Lane introduced the resolution au- thorizing preliminary steps towards the acquisition of Q water plant.
 As Secretary Ryall read, Gentleman Jim blanched. He did not smile, for the matter was not one calculated to pro yoke him to extravagant mirth He felt as if some rude hand had clutched his heart and slowly. inch by ineh drawn it from his chest.

 Would you mind that resolution going over until Friday?" he queried.
 And the judge graciously replied: Not at all"
 After the meeting Mir. Weatherly unused again.
