STOCK MARKET is
BADLY HANDICAPPED
This Result Comes Chiefly From the
Mexican Sttuatton-Trade Condt-
lions Relax.

NEW YORK. July 2.-The market for
securities enters upon the last half or
a memorial year under a serious handl-
zap. resulting chiefly from the relations
between WaShngin and Mexico.
There was almost steady recession
during the week in rates of exchange
to the central powers. while sterling and
frances. particularly the latter. showed
distinct Improvement Domest" h"ld,
ings OF gold were further augmented
by additional imports mostly from
Canada with at least two direct ship
nents from London.
Although domestic trade conditions
indicated further relaxation from the
high pressure OF the first quarters &C
tivity. general business conditions con-
,inuc eminently satisfactory. II is ar-
'ccptcd as I fact that the second quarter
of thc United States Steel corporation
will show earnings vastly in cXcrSs uf
all previous records.
The most faVnrahl" news Of the week
was contained in the remarkable state
mcnts of earnings disclosed by the big
transportation companies. New York
Csntral's combined net revenues for
May Of s6297 nos. were more than
double those o: last year. while the
Pennsylvania increase of slightly
more than $4.pnn.nn was scarcely less
imrrcssive Other roads reported net
increases of ~ to ). per cent.
