DULL MARKET SATURDAY.
Trading for the Day Fell Short of
 1000 Shares.

New York. June 5.-Little or nothing remained today of the boom which yesterday sent stocks in general to the nlgnest levels of recent weeks. The etfAct of the U. s. Steel decision seem edSto have spent its force for a time, steel shares as well as the other lead CTS reHet:ting moderate pressure.
 The fight trading of today's short sessloh-about 5000 shares-consist- ed largely of an evening up of weekly accounts. Open prices showed a num- Der of declines, these being mostly fractional, but later Steel common and preferred, Canadian Pacific, Union
 Pacific and American Can receded a
 point each. Canadian Pacific becoming
 weaker as the session progressed.
 Annalgamated Copper and Anaconda Copper were among the new features
 of strength, the former rising above
 its high price of the previous day. All
 the motor issues made considerable
 gains, presumably as result of the enormous stock dividend declared by sone of the better known companies. L Advances in these stocks ranged from 3 to Il points, Willys- Overland scoring the maximum rise. In the final deal iugs Steel, Union Pacific Southern Pacific and American Can manifested renewed heaviness, closing at lowest prices.
 In the London market the Harrimans and Steel registered fractional losses, other issues in the international list { being higher on very light inquiry. Some selling was reported for Amster-
 dam, which may have represented of | ferings for Germany.
 Mercantile agencies in their weekly
 reviews referred to the intrinsic sound ness of underlying conditions, which l show further strengthening as a result l of the decree favoring the steel cor poration.
 Among the several railway state | ments submitted was that of Canadian l Pacific, showing gross decrease for l May of $2,537, 900. Norfolk and West ern reported a net gain of $16500O for

 PRETTY SOFT PICKING.
Wheeler Starred at Bat fortSachems-
 Score 19 to 1.

Owing to threatening weather a small attendance saw the Sachems win their sixth straight victory, defeating Jewett City by a score Of 19 to 1 on Saturday afternoon. Mo Laughlin, the Jewett City pitcher, was hit for 20 hits. The Sachems played a fine fielding game and hit the ball hard and in fact, Jewett City never had a look-in. Wheeler of the Sa- chems at five times up hit for four safeties and felded his position superb ly.
 The Sachems' manager is booking some attractions for the Falls diamond in the future and the way matters look at present and the way the team is going there is nothing in New London county that can come anywhere near them.
 The Jewett Citys played a fair game but were completely outclassed both in the field and at the bat. Two of the Sachems players, Taylor and Chick Stanley, did not play owing to illness.
 The management is negotiating with fast teams in other parts of the state.
