Volume of Trading Large, but
Prices Are Forced to Low
Level During Session.

New York, June g3.-with the war
threatening Mexican situation as per-
sistent excuse, and with other more or
less adverse considerations urged on Wall
streets attention by aggressive opera
tions for decline in prices, the stock mar
ket continued today the process of reliev-
ing overloaded speculative accounts.
which has been going on all the week.
Dealings were on the most active scale
OF the week. and after another exhibition
quoted values was generally downward
until well into the last hour. Then, in
consequence OF indications that stocks In
many quetrers had been passing into
strong hands there was a moderate up
turn toward the close. apparently owing
chiefly to short covering purchases.
Rails and some of the standard indus
trials, notably United States Steel en-
joyed an excellent market all day, and
were still but slightly unsettled by the
large amount Of disturbance In other d.
rections
Industrials OF the speciality class pro-
vided the leading features OF weakness,
conspicuous among them being United
States Industrial Alcohol and Tennessee
Copper, which rejected the overnight an
nouncenent OF the passing OF the dtvt-

Weakness Is Pronounced

W. B. Hibbs & Co. yesterday received
the following analysis OF the New York
market from Logan & Bryan:
while support was rendered In various
directions, which impaired to certain
Issues an appearance of resiliency II not
flrmness. weakness was quite pronounced
In other quarters and there were noticeable
signs OF liquidation having run its course
There is little doubt but that the situa.
ton. as whole, has been decidedly COM
pllcated by the Mexican situation. and the
appeal of the southern republic to various
South American states lends further to
aggravate an already unsatisfactory
state of things.
In addition, OF course. the fact that
the long interest IN the industrial depart
ment In the market is well extended
would seem to contribute greatly to the
existing unevenness, but even so II would
seem that regardless of other considera-
tions the stock list will be forced to with
stand in large part the equaling process
which 1t is now experiencing. We see no
occasion to alter the views which we have
expressed SO often recently"
