FEW PRICE CHANGES
ON THE n. Y. MARKET
Developments Bringing New
Activity Not Expected Until
Freight Decision Is In.

NEW YORK. juno 11.-With the
market lacking incentive to activity
prices of stocks on the local exchange
remained practically unchanged from
the closing figures of yesterday. The
changes noted were irregular. nut in
the majority Of instances showed slight
recessions.
Such trading; as was indulged in was
principally professional and there was a
disposition among the room traders to
take small profits ON quick turns Large
Operators crc of TIL, opinion that there
viii be nothing Ia note 10 develop which
might affect the market and cause any
trading worthy Of mention until the
freight rate decision has been made
public by tine Interstate Commerce
Commission. Reports arc current in the
Street that the opinion has peen writ
ter by Commissioner Harlan and Is
now being printed.
The price changes were for small
fractions. Canadian Pacific was of 81
of point in London, and receded for
just that figure at the opening here.
Central Leather appeared 10 be active,
and the expectation of increased steel
business led to activity in the Pitts
