MARKET IS WEAK
AT CLOSING HOUR

NEW YORK, June sO.-stocks
moved hesitatingly at the opening to-
day. Trading was light and there
was no well-defined tendency, al
though a majority of the more active
shares were lower. The widest
changes were those of Canadian Pa
cific, which dropped a point, and of
Union Pacific. which fell back X.
Noon-Trading bore its recent
aspect of professionalism, and after
the recovery from the early decline
the market worked lower again. I'm
certainties of the money market,
tariff and currency legislation and
the crops served to check investment
buying, and outside demand remained
at a minimum, Notwithstanding the
high returns on various securities at
present prices. Bonds were irregular.
/ p. m.-Scanty offerings depressed
the list under the forenoon lowest,
with pressure against the Hartman
stocks becoming acute after the de-
tails Of the dissolution plan were
known. Southern Pacific fell and
Union Pacific points.
2 D. m.-The little activity created
by the Herman selling was short
lived and the list during the rest OF
the hour dragged along in an irregu-
lar manner. Prices in the main were
better, but some new weak spots gave
the market a ragged appearance.
8 D. m.-The market closed weak.
Persistent selling of Union Pacific
ultimately depressed 1t to 145M,
exactly the figure at which it sold on
Saturday prior to the announcement
of the consent of the government to
the new plan.
