Daily Stock Letter.

Evening POSI-
NEW YORK, June 3.-With foreign
exchange rates remaining at yester-
DAVIS level, with no more gold taken
for export and with European stock
exchanges rather generally unsettled,
today's New York stock market,
though maintaining most Of the day
its attitude Of stolid Indifference,
gave on the whole a good account Of
itself. Actual volume of business was
again considerably above that of the
recent dull days" and in the early
trading several stocks retraced their
downward steps Of yesterday after
noon, advancing half point or more.
The force of this recovery was soon
spent.
Some attention was attracted to the
Interstate commerce commissions
compilation of gross and net earnings
on all the country's railways during
April Their showing of s39,o00,0O0
expenses as compared with s19,300,-
600 In the face of 100000 increased
total revenue, reflected both the eff
forts at economies and the difficulty
of carrying them very far.
In crop news OF the day the famil-
lar contrasting pictures of unfavorable
cotton conditions and altogether fav-
orable grain crop progress, continued.
Figures of the country's iron output
for May showed a substantial de-
crease.
