MARKET DULL, But
TONE MUCH BETTER
Gains Made on Further Cover,
ing Were Not Fully
Sustained

New York. June 3.-Today's stock
market remained In a state Of deadlock.
There was, however. slightly better
undertone. and whereas the trend in the
two preceding sessions was toward
lower levels, tho general tendency Of
the more prominent stocks today was
upward. This improvement was due
largely to further covering of short con.
tracts. rather than to any important
change in fundamental conditions, or
specific stimulating developments.
Some of the uneasiness concerning the
money situation was partly dissipated
hv tho plentiful supply Of call funds at
G per cent. This renewal rate COM
pared with s per cent yesterday. The
abundant supply obviously was more
the result OF lessened demand
than of any great influx of funds for
stock market accommodations. Much of
the apprehension. nevertheless, pro-
vokcd by the unexpected upward re-
vision of rcdiscount rates is rapidly dis
appearing. and while no one Is living
in fools paradise to expect any material
casing OF money conditions in so far
as the stock exchange business Is con-
cerned, yet the readiness with which
the recent railroad financing and Bel
gian bonds were marketed has strength :
cned confidence in ultimate recovery OF
the equilibrium of the money market.
Uncertainties concerning the political
conventions continued to exert an ad-
ditional restraint upon market activity
although. in this connection, II Is only
fair to state. there is a growing con
fidence on the street that considerable
bullish ammunition will be supplied by
the Republican party at the convention
next week.
The performance of the market, as q
whole. was therefore about as uninter-
ssting as could be imagined, and little or
no significance was to be attached TO the
operations or net results, IN that tney
as a rule represented little else than o
continuation of the scalping maneuvers
of the smaller fry OF the tradihs ele
ment. Some effort was made 10 create
an impression of a resumption OF activl,
ties by several OF the more lmPortan'
pools and powerful speculative comolna
tions. This condition was more lmaglh
airy than real. :,
Higher quota tions ruled at the dul
but strong opening, with several OF the
prominent speculative speccialties regis

BETTER TONE TO
LOCAL TRADING
Rapid Transit Dropped So, but
Prices Elsewhere We're
Mostly Higher

The listlcss character of the trading
in today's local market had all the ear
marks of n midsummer session. The
volume of business continued small but
as in New York. the tone Of the mar
ket was considerably improved and
higher prices were generally registered
throughout the list. Philadelphia Rapid
Transit furnished the only exception,
dropping nearly 81 to 1875, or u above
yesterdays bottom price. The amount
Of stock offered was much smaller than
in any of the preceding sessions. and the
rather wide decline in the stock was q
further exemplihcation OF the narrow
ness of the market and thin buying de-
mand.
The reported Endorsement of the pro-
posed abolition of transfers by the board
of directors made the controversy over
the fare question much more unsettling,
and seemed to kill all possibilities of a
COMPROMISE. Union Traction on small
sales advanced o. TO Al. while Phila
