Daily Stock Letter.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said: Although business was con-
Quoted upon scale Of fair activity
in Wall street this morning, specula-
tive interest converged upon relative
ly few issues and the market as a
whole assumed something of a wait
ing attitude. Fractional advances were
well distributed throughout the gen.
eraI list at the outset and the first
hour was marked by a fairly large
volume Of business, but as the session
progressed activity diminished and
the market developed something of a
cleavage between railway and in
dustrial shares. While the former
was consistently strong under the
leadership of Reading, which moved
up sharply to a familiar stock job
bling story, the industrials and
specialties developed some irregu-
larity. Zinc stocks in particular were
under pressure and Mercantile Ma
rine preferred reacted sharply.
Speculative conditions were little
changed in the late afternoon. The
market was narrow and prices moved
somewhat certainly. Bonds were firm
with Anglo French SIS and municipal
issues in good demand.
