New York June e.--Considertng the
remarkable number of things of an
unpleasant nature that happened to-
day and the total absence of any
thing good that was new, the stock
market gave a splendid account OF
itself One good feature was that
prices moved in exact obedience to
the influences. Complete consistency
was seen in every direction.
An attempt was made In the early
part of the day to minimize the Sc
riousness of the death of Lord Kitch-
ener. Bankers, however, realized that
England had suffered more In the
sinking of that one ship than she
would suffer in the loss of great
battle.
