BULL FEELING is BU0YANT
Sentiment Grows Strong That Moth
ing Can Seriously Depress Values.
ANTICIPATE BIG PRODUCTION
Reports From Agricultural Region
Getting Better Every Day-Await
Money Trust Probe.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

NEW YORK, June S.-There is an up
lifting force under the stock market
which prevents any important recession
in prices II is strong enough to resist
bear raids and to present rock-like re-
sistance of the effects of liquidation by
timid or disturbed holders. The fact
is that very large majority of de-
sirab.e stocks have been taken out of the
market entirely by vast army of in
vestors. and that there is no pressure
from any quarter of sufficient impor-
lance To adversely affect values. OF
course the banks hold immense guam
titles Of high-class stocks as collateral
On loans, and the moral influence from
that quarter is a friendly factor which
must be taken into consideration. Banks
do not encourage the growth of senti-
ment adverse to any stock market. unless
;here l. a real reason for contraction.
No such reason is now acknowledged
For several months the entire country
has been feeling the impulse of a
hea thier and stronger business devel-
opment. Wall street was slow to adj
init the fact. and the large and important
hearish element fought the advance re-
ligiously. They would not admit the
obvious fact of improving conditions
until the lash of the tape forced the
conviction upon them, and now tardy
admission is made that the advance
in stocks which has taken place may
nave been justified and that the inn
provement may hold.
Latterly the bull feeling has been al
most buoyant. The sentiment has
grown strong that nothing that can hap
pen can seriously depress va ues and
that a great many things may happen
to put securities on a very much higher
level. The gospel has been Industrious
~ and effectively preached that every
bearish possibility has been discounted.
and that the advance which has already
taken place is merely the beginning of
a giant boom. not only in stocks. but
in every grand division OF the country's
activities. The people in Wall street
have been feeding on this kind of en-
Couragement for quite while and like
IT. IL is in pleasing contrast to the
morbid condition of mind so long pre-
vailing he-eabouts. The Wall street
state of mind" has changed most rad
ically.

Agricultural Outlook Good.

Reports from the agricultural regions
are getting better every day. The outlook
is for the largest gross farm product on.
and If prices should continue anywhere
near as high as they are now in average
the tillers of the soil will reap the fat
test returns of any year since the repub-
lie was born. Under the leadership of
steel and copper Industrial development
is extending into every important branch
and division of activity. Big men are n
dulging in optimistic interviews and their
talk is making a hit. Sometimes when
this kind of publicity is engaged In 1t is
for bolstering up depressing situation.
That Is not the case now. There Is a
genuine spirit of hopefulness, practically
universal. and 1t must find expression not
only in the stock market. but in the
voices of representative business men and
bankers
The steel trade is working into better
shape every day. according to advices from
every steel manufacturing center In he
country. Not only is the production at the
Very top notch in volume but prices are
being obtained which yield a profit that
is at last worth while. \ further advance
in many lines OF product Is looked for
about the LIST of July. In the copper in
dustry the specialists say conditions are
ideal With only about forty days sup
ply of metal on hand, the prediction is
being loudly made that before the end of
the year copper will be in inexhaustible

holding back when IL comes to a point OF
making contracts for present and future
delivery.

Railroad Earnings Disappoint.

Railroad earnings for April and May
looked for. May reports. OF course. are
unofficial. but the weekly returns which
find their way into print give a very
good limo az to what the official figures
will show. Reports from western roads
are especially unfavorable. although II
is stated and believed that June marks
the beginning of very decided improve
meri In transportation statistics. The
grief from the railroads point OF view
= the increased cost of doing business,
~ compared with previous years. Rail-
roads are suffering more than anybody
else right now from the high cost of
living The payrolls and every article
entering into the conduct and mainte-

NEW YORK, June S.-Dullness and ir-
regularity. which later turned to heavi-
ness in certain issues, dominated the two
hours of business on the stock exchange
today. The usual market leaders were
almost entirely neglected. They fiuctu-
ated within a fractional range until just
before noon. when selling of Union Pa
cific. Rock Island. Norfolk and Western,
Missouri Pacific and some of the indus
trials created a weak close.
The only movements of interest were in
the tobacco shares, which added material
ly TO their gains of the preceding days
of the week. Speculative interest in
these issues is so limited. however. that
their sensational gains were of little real
significance one Of the independent
tobacco companies which won a suit
against the American Tobacco Company
today declared an extra" dividend in
addition to the regular disbursement.
Days News Ineffective.
The days news had little bearing upon
ton. limiting at the possibility of copper
famine, were accepted with reservations
and failed to find reflection in copper Sc
curities. Wall street seemed to he of
the opinion that the recent advances in
the metal We're based on something less
tangible than the law OF supply and de-
rnand and was inclined TO look askance
at the movement in these securities
abroad.
Crop advices today did not disclose any
change in the generally fair conditions
existing almost everywhere except in
some of the central and middles west
states.
London's markets were weak pending
the outcome of next weeks conference in
connection with the dock strike.
Ready for Midyear Statements.
That our banks and other financial in
stitutions are getting ready for the mid
year requirements was shown in the
weekly statement of the clearing house
banks. It was clear from the returns
made by the banks and trust companies
not in the clearing house that the bur-
den had been shifted from these institu-
tons to the clearing house.

Buoyancy Expected Later.

Somewhat therefore, along the lines OF
analogy professional Wall streets senti-
ment Is now looking forward to some
thing like what happened then. in that
early Bryan time-is expecting buoyancy
to precede the end of election uncertainty
and excitement But non-politfcal OBJ
servers point out that SO far this year
Wall street has had no election depres-
sion; that there have been no breaks or
semi panics; and that there are no low
Ieye from which bu0yancy may stIik-
ngly proceed-uniess between now and
the midcampaign there be disturbance
and declines Perhaps on this account
i, is the fashion in brokerage Offices at
present for even professional traders to
hold aloof At any rate. the market is
free from buying orders-just as selling
orders have been undiscernible for a long
time past Thus, Wall street just nerv-
ously sits and watches, being ready to
lead in nothing, but willing 1t may be to
follow If bear campaigners can start a
break.
There isn't any actual bear factor
shown on the surface-nothing to induce
owners of stock to sell what they own
or to encourage spectators to sell what
other people own-save only the measur-
able influence of the fact that the finan-
cial world is at the moment being glutted
with new Notwithstanding like $780,

York city alone.
