STOCK MARKET WASSTAGNANT The Tone Firm as Compared With Wednesday. BULLS FAIL IN THEIR MOVE Many Alarmist Reports Currcnt llc ?.ardiii<r iho Norihwesteru "Wheat Crop?Conscrvativo l.ank Movement. NEW YOR3-C, June 7.?Absolutc slagna tion characterized the stock market to day. By comparisdn with yesterday. the tone was lirm. but that was only because the bears somewhat overextended their commitments on tlie short side yesterday. lt was evldent that tlie late selling yes? terday was based. uik.h the expectation tliat selling by Eondon this morning ?would offer an ojjportuhity to set back stocks at a lower level. Lontlon did. in fact, sell stocks here on a moderate scale, but the demand from tlie shorts was sulfi cient to overcome the deelino and to make some show of strength ln the market. The bulLs attempted to stimulate the movement by bldding up the coalcrs on vague talk of further comprehensive traffic agreements. This manooyre proved Ineffective, and the market relansed to about last night's level, and never. got iar away from lt again In either direc? tion. New York Air Brake was rushed upward 2V. points on talk of absorptlon by the Wcstlnghouse Company. lt saved a 5 i>oint net gain. In Sugar there was a demand from an uneasy short Interest, which had been overextended during the decline of the last few days. and the stock gaincd over a point net. Tho loaning rates on stocks dlsclosed the existence of (juite a large outstanding short.interest well distributed throughout the list. 3n the entire laek of animation in speculative spirit the pro fessional traders are disinclined to further comniitments on the short side. There was no further evidence to-day of the selling through commission-houses wliieh was called outside Uqiildation yes? terday. Tho incidents for the day, taken ln themselves, indicatcd declining values for securities, but these incidents had been anticipated, and, therefore, the movement of prices was discounted. The iron stocks were r.-ithcr firm on the sup position that the cut ln prices has broueht a step nearer the resumption of the cxpected buying demand. Many alarmist reports were current coricerning the NOrthwestern wheat crop. The continued heaviness of foreign stock markets, on account of the complications in China had a. symnathctic effect here. fhe selling of stocks for l^ondon was BUfflcient to cause a frnetioual advance ln cable transfers on London. The weekly statement of the foreign oovernni! nt banks dlsclosed a conserva uvc movement still in force. The Bank of Engiand returns show only ?600,000 in loans repaid to the bank despite of dis bursement of Government deposit to the amount of over ?s.0uo,ooo, and a prevail ing rate of diseount well below the bank rate. The Bank of Franee has rosumed its policy of both note and loan contrac tion which was interrupted last week, and. in spite of a gain in gold of S_,_7_, (><"><>, it has decreased its note circulation over ?25,000,000 aml contracted its out standing loans over $4S,900,000. ln Berlin there were forced sales of mining shares ana a reflection of the same policy of re trenchment. ln New York. on the con trary. money continues in very light de mand and incr.easing supifiy.

While lluctuations during the uay were of limlted scope, the net change was not graUfying to either side. The market opened steady,. with prices 5 j points lower to 1 point higher, but al? most immediately turned weak in re sponse to a sharp break in Liverpool, and under an estimate for an increase of 9.7 per cent. in this year's acreage to 24,625 acres. On this downturn c jnsiderable liquidation occurred both foreign and do mestic accounts, while shorts increased obligations under the firm convlction that tne situation warranted a decline to be? low the 8c. market for August. But while j in the midst of their jubilation the bears were confrontc-d with a sudden reaction in Liverpool and brisk demand from lnllu ential outside parties here. Prices quickly returned to last night's level on this support and scored a slight gain before a breathing spell was taken, but the Liverpool linal cables in hand of room tradcrs subsequentiy assumed the d_fen sive and gave attention to settlement of unprotected accounts as a matter ot" pre cautidn on account of the Holiday in Liverpool to-morrow and Saturday, and to an unusual mverg-ence of opinion con? cerning the probable outcome of Monday's bureau report, the first of the season. Moreover, verv little news came to hand in the afternoon, and orders were also few and far between, leavlng the talent m control, but purposelessl The market was finally steady.
