MARKET WAS REAor1oNABY

New York, June 15.-The stock market today experienced what is technically known as a secondary reaction" prices of many favorite issues in the various speculative groups falling sharply after a firm to strong opening.
 A very considerable part of the early buying evidently represented short cover ing based on cables announcing cut in the Bank of England discount from to 1-2 per cent. the lowest rates since January. 1914
 The cut in the British rate was the more surprising from the fact that Wash ington advices quoted treasury officials as opposed to any lowering of federal reserve rates, in spite of numerous re- uuests from branch institutions.
 As soon as the early demand for stocks had been satisfied heavy selling orders ap- peared, especially in shippings and equip ments. These soon extended to such leaders as Mexican Petroleum, Studebak- CT, Baldwin and the independent steels.
 Offerings of International Mercantile Marine common and preferred, at extreme declines of and 1-2 points, respective ly, were attributed to the poor earnings shown in the company's annual report and the less favorable outlook for subsidy leg islation.
 Reasons for the reversals in other is- @NA''7 but the list displayed its heaviest tone on news that the railway Nbrotherhoods had take mort aggressive attitude on the strike vote question
 Final prices disclosed net losses of two to six points in the steels, prominent equipments motors and rubber accesso ries, domestic and foreign oils and pe- | troleums and shippings, while such rails as Southern Pacific Reading and New 1 York Central forfeited one to two points. Sales amounted to $1,3S5,Oo0 shares l Call money opened and held at 1-2 1 per cent. throughout, that quotation be- l ing regarded as very reasonable in view of the heavy drain upon local reserves for federal interest payments Time rates were easier for 90 and 50 day loans, but 1 recent firmness for the longer maturities was maintained
 All the important foreign exchanges were strengthened by the action of the Bank of England, but Dutch. Norwegian and Danish remittances eased 3 to 15 ! points Another sharp decline in the Greek rate was ascribed to political un- settlement in that country. Far Eastern rates failed to reflect the reduced dis counts announced by the banks of Bom- 1 bay and Bengal.

Chicago, June 15.-Lessened apprehen- sion as to crop damage did good deal to bring about lower prices today for wheat. The close was unsettled at 1 I-4 to 5-Sc net decline, with July sl09 5-S to Sl.09 3-4 and September S11I to s1.- II Is. Corn lost 3-4c to 1 1-2 and oats 7-S a 1c to lie. Provisions finished unchanged to a shade off
 With more seasonabIe temperature anticipated to abate ill effects of ex-ces- sive heat in the southwest, and with good rains reported in the northwest. holders of wheat began to unload soon after the opening. A lack of new spec ulative demand was apparent and trad CTS who had been buyers on the previ- ous day were eager to take profits, espe- cially as damage reports as a rule had been unaccompanied by orders to pur- chase.
 Absence of overnight export business tended also to weaken the market here. Just before the close. messages from the seaboard said 75O.OOO bushels to 100000 bushels of wheat had been worked for Europe. but the effect in Chi cago was somewhat discounted by as- sertions that export bids here had drop 1 ped to six cents over July, C. i f Buffalo. as compared with eight cents over on | Monday. There also was little better milling call here in belated trade but price Tallles rom the low point or the 1 day were only moderate l Beneficial rains in Iowa were largely responsible for sending the corn market i downward. Besides. Illinois producers were said to be offering more freely new | corn to arrive. Oats dropped to the | lowest prices yet this season, heavy sales more than offsetting a brief show of strength caused by adverse crop re- ports.
 l Provisions were governed by the ac- | tion of hog values.
