NEW YORK, June 6.-The weakest and
the dullest spot in the whole financial
situation at present Is the stock market
Last week the explanation of holiday
week was generally accepted as suf-
ficient excuse for a lifeless market, but
| this week has but contributed to the rec
ord for dullness and apathy. The fact
is that not only the Investing public. but
the professional element as well, are I'M
able to see in the present situation any
promise of expanding profits in stock
transactions. Trading on the whole has
been devoid of significance. and in the
opinion of many of the old-timers'' the
condition Of the stock market has fallen
to low point such as has seldom. If
ever been equaled on the exchange
Railroad stocks, which in former years
were among the favorite-and profitable
purchases Of the investing public have SO
far receded in values, and in many in
stances have so often passed their
dividend periods that they have to a large
extent been relegated to the rear. Oil
stocks that were once considered Of the
extreme go1d-brick variety have so well
behaved in recent years that their popu-
larity seems to have become more firmly
established.
Bond and Grain Markets.
The bond market and to an equal
degree the grain and cotton markets
have on the other hand displayed ex-
cellent activity, and the outlook for fur
Their Improvement in these quarters Is
highly encouraging. There is still
healthy demand for hish-grade municipal
and state issues, with most Of the trading
in that class of securities which are
legal investment for trust funds. About
$115. 100000 will be paid out in June In
terest and dividend disbursements. and
inasmuch as the half-yearly dividend and
within q few weeks, the chances are that
the investment markets this month will
show increased activity.
Although there is g. broad demand for
short term securities, still, it is prabably
true that most borrowers would do bet
ter to sell long term bonds II they are
able to do SO at advantageous terms.
pedient has been pushed rather far
during the last year or two, and that the
time was near at hand when some Of the
largest corporation borrowers would find
it advantageous to finance through sales
of long term bonds many of the demands
which hitherto have been arranged for
through the medium of one, two and
three year loans.
The outlook in this regard is highly
interesting, and there is no doubt but
that the United States is in stronger
position in this respect than any of the
great foreign nations, because for months
past the output of securities by American
corporations has been reduced to the
smallest possible volume

Politics Affects Values.

The mood of the stock market this
week was to attribute great influence
TO political developments as affecting
values. In New York attention was
conferred upon Washington, and for
eign markets showed a disposition to
dwell upon political conditions. Senti-
nent and prices f1uctuated from day
10 day, with dealings on a very re-
stricted scale, but at some recovery
from the previous weeks stagnation.
The insistence of government author
tiles that signs Of business depression
are psychological or fictitious served
to dash hopes that the trend of poll
itics would reveal a growing spirit
of liberation toward big business.
Progress of trust legislation, action
toward fresh investigations of rail-
road scandals and the course of labor
legislation in Congress were added
factors. Mitigating influences were the
refusal of the Senate to move an In
quiry into the New York Central
merger and differences in favor of
freight rate increases drawn from the
missioner Clements before a Senate
committee.
The previous high expectations OF the
crops were not fully sustained. The
governments cotton estimate made a
poor contrast with the abundant prom
Use of the winter wheat The weeks
weather map also showed deficiencies in
some regions.
Revival in the steel trade still halted
A Welding tendency in the price OF re-
fined copper pointed to parallel condt-
tons in that industry.
The Missouri Pacific and Boston and
Maine note extensions relieved some ap-
prehension, but investment demand for
bonds remained sluggish, even while the
extreme ease of money was unaffected
