STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, June 9.-The market was slightly lower during the forenoon, but displayed a hardening tendency in the afternoon turnover. Floor profess sionals were the principal sellers in early trading, but as outside offerings were negligible in volume, same dis couraged bearish efforts and later led to a covering movement. In the rail group, buying that looks like for inn portant interest makes its appearances every now and then and quite little bullish sentiment toward this group seems to be around. Naturally the street is looking forward with consid- erable interest to convention news and developments there may be somewhat of a guiding factor. The feature being commented on now is the absence of pressure on the stock list. Our views lead us to believe that 1t will probably be more consistent to look for buying opportunities.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, June s.-opening stock prices were about on a parity with Sat urday's closing, and during the morning hours only one or two special move ments were worth mentioning. Interna- tional Telephone and Telegraph com pany made a new high in response to it's recently published earnings and evi- dence of its strong position. Central Leather preferred advanced nearly $2 on buying believed to be for those who see improvement in the leather indus try. The general run of stocks sagged off on small volume. Cast Iron Pipe moved up from S52s to ss4z. Rails were in demand, as usual, with Southern Railway advancing to another new high at 595s. The standard leaders, such as American Can, U. S. Steel, Baldwin and Studebaker, all closed well above their low prices, considering the dulIness of the market and some selling toward the close. Final tone, irregular. Total sales. 492,000 shares.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

The Japanese s also touched a new 1924 low at 76, but did not encounter the heavy selling of the latter issues.
 With call money renewing at 22 per cent, the lowest rate in five years, and then falling back to per cent quotations on the outside market ruling as low as 1% per cent and time funds manifesting an easier tendency, the heavy buying of government obligations began at the outset of today's trading.

Cleveland Trust company, shows that this 45-year period witnessed the be- ginnings of twelve major bull move ments. The most significant feature of this record is that of these upward turns started during the months of seasonally slack business activity. All of them had their beginnings when the annual cycle of business was above the normal line.
 In making up this record, the month following the one of the lowest aver age quotations in each major swing, was taken as the first month of the bull movement. Judging from this record, if decided upward turn should be de- layed until fall, it would be reasonable to regard it with more confidence as probable inauguration of a sustained movement, than if started in the near future.

THE stock market has for the past
 50 days resisted decline to lower

Coupled with these facts is an impending national election and the somewhat general impression that pow erful interests will wish to buttress the psychology of prosperity by having bull market in operation. Many people are therefore looking for signs of ma jor upward turn in stock prices. Some have already expressed the opinion that such an upturn will commence during the. current month.
 Interesting in this connection is study covering the beginnings of bull markets during the past 45 years. This study, as recently completed by the

 Right from the start, the cotton mar ket gave the street & chill with rather heavy declines. These were attributed in well-informed places to unsettle- ment brought about by liquidation in the July option. It was pointed out by one commentator that speculative holders of July cotton had no profit able hedge, but rather a big discount on the new crops with which to con tend, and this forced liquidation.

WALL STREET BRIEFS

Sales of cars and trucks by the Ford Motor company in May are reported to have totaled 209,601 the third con- secutive month in which the figures have exceeded 100000. Tractor sales averaged more than 300 daily while sales of Lincoln cars established a new record at S68, an increase of 1O6 over April.
 Eighty pr cent of the worlds fin ished silk products is being made in the United States, according to Hiram R. son and Company, who stated that buyers from all sections of the coun- try report May sales ahead of last year.
 New bond offerings today were led by an issue of $5, ,816, 800 state of Mtssis- sippi A per cent refunding bonds due serially 1889 to 1850 and priced to yield 4.45 per cent, according to maturity. Announcement was made that new issue of $1,000,000 Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio Railway company per cent equipment trust certificates, had been sold to yield four to 5.So per cent.
 The rumor persisted in the financial district that a three-cornered business utilization was being worked out to in- clude American Wool, Consolidated Textile and Amoskeag Manufacturing companies, but bankers having knowl- edge of the concerns were inclined to doubt such a possibility.
 The May earnings figures of the St. Louis and Southwestern reflect plainly the falling off in the traffic movement during that month, compared with the same period a year ago, when revenue freight loadings were the largest in his- tory.

OLD BLEEDING CUSTOM
REVERSED FOR CURES

From the New York Sun.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries bleeding was regarded as
the sovereign remedy for many ills
Louis Kills physician ordered him
to be bled forty-seven times in a sim
gle year, and the celebrated DR.. Guy
Patin Of Louis XIV's reign<bled a pa
tient suffering with rheumatism six
ty-eight times in eight months.
The barber was the surgeon of
those days, and in France the dish
that was used in the operation is still
retained as the sign of their trade.
For a headache or an attack of low
spirits the old-time barber would be
asked to ply his hncet.
BY a curious reversal of principles
and methods, TRANSMISSION of blood
now takes the place OF bleeding in
the treatment of maladies. and
whereas in former times men and
women paid to be bled, they now re-
ceive handsome fee for submit
