The World Finano * Extreme Dullness Marked All the Dealings Today. VERY LITTLE FROM LONDON Nothing Beyond Ventures of Professional Traders. MONEY MARKET BATES IIABDEN Due in Some Measure to United States Traooiirw A rtinn 17 f c i tro ATTO . Aiviioui j AJA wuQt ? e iu.uiu~ ments Toward Lower Prices. r>Np?t. h tn The Star. NKW YORK. June 13.?The only strik InK or even salient feature of today's stool market wn> lis utreme dullness. Londor did little or nothing, commission houses f> > t<> s.?y. did less, and probably 80 per cenl of the very smai! total of transactions represeated nothing beyond the ventures ol tar r >. traders upon the floor ol i'i3 . k . :,4 !:aiibc. Nor was there much In the i t v/s of the morning or In the occurrences wall the course of the business aessi">r> raku!a;ed to incite a more active MeeiiMUoi. in i-nc direction or another. As iiM iai, in c very dull market, atten tlon a; the opening of business turnec toward !.. niion. but the tone of the America;! drjurtnent of that market furnished n<i tii.i in ii,e local speculation. The chlel ?car ttre of the ablings upon the Londor sloes i xeii.ir go was an exceedingly sharj brv!?V in the liio Tirtos shares. caused bj Bo'Iir.t; for Paris account, hut unexplainet by any specific developments relating t< the prop?rt>- or to the copper trade, i Notwithstanding the excessive dullness I fit; aiuv k market the dealings resulte< In a number of quite extensive movements which were chiefly in the direction of lowel prices. Local Tractions Broke Badly. The Interborough-Metropolitan securities broke very badly on Intimations that upoi the organization of the public utilities com mission the affairs of that company will tx subj> I'-'l to a rigid Investigation. Brookl>n Rapid Transit declined in sympathj with the Manhattan Borough Tractior stocks Announcement of the passage of th( dividend on the stock of the United Rail ways of San Francisco led naturally to a further decline in that issue, and the suspension was attributed to the losses suf fered by the company In connection witt the protracted strike in that city. As was the case yesterday, the dealings revealed evident liquidation In certain parr * ? ? * " A T A. lll'UlHr SIOL'HS, IfUCII <13 rtllivill-aii uv^vinu tive and other issues more or less Identified with n more or less individual market con trol. The srtmewhat sensational failure upor the Philadelphia stock exchange attracted some attention, although It appeared t( liave no relation at all to local market conditions. The Bank of England's rate of discount was left unchang d at 4 per cent, and th? bank's weekly statement was a fairly satisfactory exhibit. Vnere was little alteration in the foreign exchange market, and the question of further exportatlons of gold during the present eek still hung in the balance, with the chances rather agaihst -additional shipments of the metalRates for Money Harden. Mr >ney market conditions continued to harden, especially in regard to the terms exacted for accommodations running into the new year, tcap reports in the main were again favorable, anil at one time wheat prices broke quite sharply, later recovering the whole of the decline. There was little further discussion of the so called Japanese question, mainly because ol the reassuring advices in that regard forthcoming from practically all authoritive sources. The slightly firmer tendencies of the money market were probably due in some measure to the announcement made aftei the close of business yesterday that tht Secretary of the Treasury had decided to recall from the national banks the $30,000,(*?> of special deposits made with them last autumn. On the other hand, such a short t me remains l>etween this and the maturing of the government 4 per ce-it bonds that it Js unlikely the money market will be subjected to any considerable strati on that account. THE COTTON MARKETS. NEW YORK, June 13.?The cotton market opened steady at a decline of 3a7 points, unil immediate!v afterward sold off to a net loss of 7al3 points on the more active months on bear pressure and liquidation in response to lower cables and continued good weather in the south and reports of failvires In the t.ondon financial market. Trading was fjirly active, and at the decline <?onie of the larger professionals began buying. The market rallied on this support, and during the middle of the morning was about 'J points net lower on July, but within 2 or :t points of last night's linuls on the active new crop positions.

NEW YORK, June 13.?Conservative stock r.arket observers say that they continue to lee signs of improvement in the general lituation, but they think that any attempl o advance prices materially at thi3 time vould b? ill-advised. They point out that a arge amount of money will be required to >rovide for the July 1 disbursements, and hey think that money used for advancing >rlces before that time would be largely rasted. In their opinion outsiders could not ciuci iuo uiaiivck u ?? :ensive scale Just now, even If it had an ap>earance of genuine activity. In their Judgnent, il the market is allowed to remain luiet for some weeks longer outside interists will be attracted to it because of the landsome dividend relations and the belief hat with reasonably good crops the leading ssues should sell considerably above presnt prices. m ' * * A representative of a large corporation, in liscussing the general situation this mornng, and in pointing out recent favorable levelopments, calls special attention to the eto of the two-cent fare bill by Gov. iughes. He said that not only has the rovernor's action been very favorably rehv nrnmlnont flnnnnlnl Intprpfltfl hut hat they think the memorandum accom>anying his veto is the best document of ts kind that has been made public In a ong time. He thinks that the action of he governor will be an important factor n the restoration of confidence in corporte affairs. He further expressed the opinon that if a few announcements of a simiar tone could be consistently made and folowed up by the chief executive at Washngton much more would be accomplished a the restoration of confidence on the part >; the public. * * * The same man in discussing the financial ltuation said that considerable importance hould be attached to the indication that racticallv all of th? nrominent savlmrs anks propose to pay interest at the rate >f 4 per cent a year. He thinks that the ontinuance of Interest at this rate will atract savings to the strong Institutions, intead of their being dissipated in wild-cat eal-estate speculation, as the tendency to ,o has been so notable during the last two r three years. He further points out that he ability of the savings banks to pay 4 er cent should be taken as indicative ol ound financial conditions. # * WHOLESALE MARKET BEPOBT.
