PAUL IN ASCENDANT Like Canadian Pacific, It Looms Above Other Leaders, but Has Little to Show for It at the Close. NEW YORK, June 16.—Th« character of todays stock maikel remained the sair c as that of last week. There were opera tions for a rise in a few piominent stocks, but they were not aggressively pursued and left no important net results St. Paul, Missouri Pacific, Union Pacific' • Canadian Pacific and the Atchisons wee more largely dealt in. it will be s«_en none of tnese saved as much as a point of net gain on the day, although Cana dian Pacific rose at one time 1% over Saturday, and St. Paul J%. A number of the minor granger stock ers were lifted at different times and the Chicago & North-Western stocks both made three point advances. Later m the day, after the Indifference of the gen eral market to this ltadeis^ip was de.aon strated, there was an advance in the Readings. This proved equally ineffi cacious and the market closed dull and eusy, considerably below the best. The movement in the Western stocks, while obviously professional, seemed based on assumption of a favorable outcome for the corn crop and upon the argument of probable dividend increases. IJtt'ect of ]Vorth-W«steru Increase. Nobody assumes that the Missouri Pa cific dividend this week will be changed from the 2% per cent annual rate and the •wavy outlays bums made by Union Pa cific a:e against the presumption of a present increase. But the example of the Chicago & North-Western increase is an influential one and affects especially St. Paul. The buying of this group of stocks at the Opening was suiheii nt to carry up the price in the face of rather heavy London selling, induced by anxkty over the illness of the king of England. The leaders of the campaign for the advance profess to feel assurance that the July settlements will be effective without any stringency of money. Last year the mon;'y market became ac tive about this time and at the close of the month call money ran up to 25 per cent and .stock pricts collapsed. In July of last year the difficulties in the money market continued and their effect upon the stock market was aggravated by the damage to the corn crop and the ste?l strike. Between June 22 and July 27 there wns a contraction of over $4tf.0J0,000 in the loan account of the banks, and it was not until the last of July that the banks began to expand their loans again, after large receipts of cash from the in terior and from suibtreasury disburse ments. Foreign Trade. The foreign trade statement for May, just issued, shows a decrease in ex ports of upwards of $22,000,0 iX), showing that the exports cf manufactures fell somewhat below those of May last yea* in addition to the heavy decrease in agricultural products. For eleven months in the fiscal year the trade bal ance in favor of this country is thu3 reduced nearly $168,0C0,000 below that for the corresponding period of last year. The industrial department of the stock list was generally heavy. United States Steel stocks were slightly de pressed by the making permanent of the injunction against the stock con version and bond issue plan pending the appeal to the upper court. ■ ■ • There was a fair demand for bonds and prices were firm. Total sales, par value, $2,465,000. United States 2s coupon declined Va per cent and the old 4s ad vanced hi, per. cent on the last call. Stocks. ~—: |S'l's]Hi'hlL.ow|Clo. .

Which Dis appears When Trade In Domi nated by the Idea That the Bi^ Bull Party Is Still Bent on Boost ing Values—Oats the Only Grain That Closes Down, CHICAGO, June 16.—Corn was the jack screw to the speculative pits today. Bull manipulators got under the coarser grain and by lifting it raised wheat slightly, in spite of generally bearish conditions. At the close July corn was lc higher, July wheat VsQ^c higher, and July oats hi&^ic lower. The provisions rallied from a sharp slump to close 2c lower to 10c higher. Corn was momentarily weak at the opening, in sympathy with wheat, and on the clearing- weather and some early short selling. The trade was soon dom inated, however, by the idea that the big bull party had not abated any of its pre. viouj intention to boost prices. When there was a fai- show- toward recovery from the op?ningr depression, there was a movement en the part of th« shorts in July that indicated that they thought it best to suffer losses now rather than In tor. An attempt, to cover a big line as the prices advanced, scared the little fel lows. July, which opened as low as 63c. kept steadily advancing. Around 6N; there was liberal unloading of longs, who bought near 60c. But this stayed th& ul ward movement but slierhtly. The trade was in a position where probably manipu lation was more important than any thing else. This is exported to be the case for some time. Under these cir cumstances the pit experienced fair activ ity. July closed strong at its high point, lc up, at 64% c. Receipts were 359 cars, but contract stuff was small. • Wheat's Rescue F*rom -Monotony. Wheat was relieved from the dull mo notony by the actior. in corn. Rarly Hauirlation on weather reports wea'a fned this pit, but hung- fire and hassled for some time. Cables were better, in dicating cold weather in France. Sta tistics were generally bullish, but crop prospects were very good. When corn beg-an showing its strength it developed short-lived activity. There was almost no buvint: business, and this prevented an otherwise probable sharp rally. As it was, there was little inclination to sell short, and July, after opening %!??%c to Jfcg lower, at 71%{?.71?ic, and dipping to r.l-%c, rallied to a firm close, VvS^ic up, at 72c. Very little cash -business was reported. I-ocal receipts were 19 cars, 4 of "otir tract gTade; Minneapolis and Duluth re ported 443 cars, making a total for the three points of 4K2 cars, against 398 cars last week and 470 a year ago. Primary receipts were SCt>,ooo bu, compared to 682.- OuO b-i: last year. Seaboard clearances in ■wheat and flcur equaled 37,000 bu. World's si ipments were 7,400.000 bu, against 9 460 --000 bu last week. BreacTstuffs on passage decrease.! 5.055.000 bu. The visible supply decreased 2,513.000 bu. * ■ Oats Fare Worst. Oats were dull and featureless. Th» fair weather prospects and the probabil ity of large crops offset the steady cash demand. Liberal receipts, at UG cars, also had a slightly bearish effect Thes* .nfluenees, together with the opening slumps m wheat and corn, caused a break in this pit, and July, new, sold early at 39% c. The rally in corn brought a slight recovery, July closing weak at .^i @-?&c lower.
