FINANCE AND REALTY

The June quiet continued at yester-i
days session Of the stock exchange.
The beginning OF a new fiscal year,
July !, with millions Of dollars that
will pour into local banks from outside
corporations in the form OF dividends,
in addition to the accumulation from
local corporations, viii relieve the
money stringency here and may result
In freer trading on the exchange.
An average amount of bidding for
bonds failed to result in any marked
activity yesterday. Railway IS being
the only issue to attract attention. Rail-
and hfty-one shares Of Gas went at SSh.
Relief for Clerks VIII Help.
The announcement that Congress will
put through joint resolutions continuing
current appropriations into the coming
fiscal year until agreements can be
reached on unfinished appropriation
measures is expected to aid the tone OF
the money market here.
Owing to the delay in putting through
such resolutions, some uneasiness was
felt among government employees whose
salaries were involved in the big supply
measures This uneasiness seems to
have been aggravated by announce
ments from the various departments
calling attention to Congress to the con-
dition, though there has been no dispo-
sltion on the part OF the appropriations
committees to withhold the temporary
relief Of continuing resolutions. These
measures will be rushed through as soon
as the two houses convene next Monday
and the government machinery will pro-
ceed unhampered.
