ONE OF THE DULLEsT.
Few Days This Year Have Been
 More Sluggish in Market.

New York, June Flor absolute du less and insignficance of opera tiL-5 todays stock market has seldom been equalled thus far this year. The was listless and halting from the very outset and in the first three hours just about 100000 shares hands, the days total output being ,000 shares. Most of the active issues and other speculative favorites fiuctuated fractionally, with here and there some changes that eX tended beyond a point Some of the issues were not traded in at all and the net result may be set down as negligible. Following an ir- regular opening, prices hardened and as the session proceeded further improvement was noted, but the limit of apathy was reached in the final hour. Canadian Pacific was the only high class stock to display marked strength, probably on the absence of pressure from abroad, and the Hartman and Hill shares were almost altogether neglected, with some late heaviness in Union Pacific. An optimistic statement of general conditions attributed to the head of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific lines was of little benefit to the securities of those roads.
 In fact. Northern Pacific was not quoted until just before the markets close In the industrial group, Anal gamated Copper, Tennessee Copper, American Can, common and preferred, Bethlehem Steel, American Beet Su- gar and several of the less important Issues rose from one 10 two points, while Colorado Fuel which early in the day added to yesterdays gain, later fell back.
 Sentiment on the board was perhaps less pessimistic than on the preceding day. but 2 aiority of the traders seemed indisposed to take on new commitments pending the outcome of the money trust" inquiry and more definite crop sdvices.
 Reports dealing with the copper trade also bore out recent intimations of a steadily diminishing supply of the metal, while another advance in lead testified to the greater activity in kin dred lines.
 London's part in this market was trihing, sales for that account aggre- gating little more than a few thou sand shares.
 Money conditions were marked by greater firnness, with a slight ad- vance in all accommodations ranging from four to nine months, the rate fol the latter period going to 4 IA pei cent.
 The bond market was irregular ant narrow, keeping pace with the move, ment in stocks. Total sales, par value were $1,785, 900.

FOR BENEFIT OF OLYMPIC FUND
American Athletes Compete at American League Park
 Winner of 600 Metre Run.

New York, June 12.-Nearly every athlete on the selected team which will represent the United States in the Olympic contests at Stockholm was at American League park today and many of them were seen in action in the track and field competitions which were given for the benefit of the na- tional Olympic fund.
 All the men were introduced to Mayor Gaynor and Colonel Robert M. Thompson, president of the American Olympic committee, both of whom ad- dressed the American representatives and wished them success.
 Shortly before the games began 8 heavy rainstorm deluged the grounds, precluding the possibility of record performances on either track or field. Craig of Detroit won the 70 meter dash in To seconds with Gerhardt of San Francisco second and Meyer of this city third. Gissing, New York; Daven- port, Chicago, and Meredith of Mer- cersburg, Pa, was the order at the finish in the 500 meters run.
 Kiviat of the Irish American team took first honors in the 1,200 meter race, with Mcclure of Oregon second, in minutes 8 2-5 seconds.
 The finish of the $500 meter race was close. Tewanina of Carlisle In dian school won by four yards from George V. Bonhag who was the same distance ahead of Berna of Cornell, these three being the only ones who covered the full course.
 In the field events Ralph Rose of San Francisco was best at the shot putting, doing 91 feet 10 inches with both hands. Horine finished third with 6 feet 3 inches in the running high jump, which Thorpe of Carlisle won with a clean jump of feet inches. and Richards of Utah cleared feet 4 inches for second place. Allen of Los Angeles won the broad jump with 22 feet inches, one inch better than his clubmate, Donahue, with Nicholson of Missouri third. Duncan's best throw with the discus was 142 feet il IA inches and Champion McGrath sent the hammer 1S0 feet 1 1-2 inches.
 The Adams brothers, Platt and Ben iamin. of the New York Athletic club tied for first place in the standing high jump at , feet 3 inches, and both de- clared they had made arrangements to 20 abroad with the team.
 The committee figured on them as sure point winners.

CALLAHAN REFUSED TO

Said Larry Wasn't Fast Enough for
 Big League Society.

Larry Doyle of the Giants every time he makes a winning wallop. enjoys a laugh of the expense of Jimmy Calla- han, manager of the White Sox. When Larry was playing in a western minor league city the Highlanders heard of him and asked Callahan, then playing independent ball, to look him over. Callahan watched Doyle perform in several games and then wired the Highlanders:
 He isn't fast enough. Can't field and isn't a first-c class hitter"
 So Doyle was passed up and Calla- han sent in bill for S200 to cover his expenses and time. Then McGraw walked up to the captains office and paid $4,000 for Doyle, who couldn't be purchased now for three times that amount. All of which goes to show that some of the best judges of ball players make serious mistakes
