a setback from the top prices reached,
but failed TO overcome all OF the rise.
The downward pressure was largely due

ten leading states would be l07,O0O, 600
bushels more than last year. Decidedly

port did not become public In time to at

scarce after the next few days. Oats.

Review of Operations on stock Ex-
change During the Day


NEW YORK. June 6.--Quotations we're
scaled down in all quarters OF the stock
market az the opening today. Trading
was light and there were no signs OF
severe pressure at any point, but the
tone was heavy and all the speculative
leaders fell back. Lehigh- Valley was
once more the weak spot In the market,
losing a point on the first few transac-
tions The setback was due chiefly TO
the decline Of American stocks in Lon
don. After trading was well under way
the market began to show the good un-
dertone characteristic most of the week.
Initial losses were soon reduced or can
celled and in some instances net gains
were achieved.
The market closed strong today.
The best showing OF several days was
made in the last hour. Under the lead OF
the Eastern railroad shares some Of
which gained more than a point, the
whole list advanced. The upturn was
associated with advices received in Wall
street that the Interstate Commerce COM
mission was Fastening work on the text
OF the rate decision and might have Il
completed in a few days. London sold
here, but foreign offerings were not large
and they were easily absorbed. Trade re-
Views were more optimistic, particularly
news from the steel and textile industry.
