New York Stock Market New York, June 19.?A substantially higher range of prices prevailed through the greater part of the day In the stock market, and the weakness which was, exhibited in the latter parti of last 'week disappeared. The Im? provement was attributed to favorable developments over the week-end and to some Increase In the outside demand for stocks. Commission house orders were said to have reached a largei total than on any other Monday In sev? eral weeks, and although trading felt off somewhat at the higher prices Uu Inquiry was sulliciently keen to pre? vent a setback and to discourage at? tempts to depress the market, it was not until near the close of the day. when profits were taken, that stocks lost a portion of their gains. Successful flotation of the Panama bond itsuc was of decided Influence lu encouraging and returnin'g spirit ol optimism In the financial world, and doubtless was responsible to some ex lent for the course of the market to? day. The bonds sold "when Issued" in large amounts on the "curb" to-day at 103 1-S to 103 3-16. the rise in price trom KV.' 3-4. at which they sold on Saturday bet?re the bids wore opened, Indicating that the offers ranged some, what higher than was expected. A comparison of th^ amounts which the successful bidders will pay with the quotations of the securities of foreign countries demonstrates the unrivaJed credit which the United States govern? ment enjoys among the nations of the world. That huge amounts of money are awaiting Investment is indicated by the manner in which the issue was oveY subscribed, a fact which has' aroused expectations of a large de- ; mand tor railroad and other corpora? tion bonds from bidders who were not i successful In obtaining a portion of the Panama loan. A further favorable influence was found in the government report on Iron and steel exports. From time, to lime during the last few months indefinit? statements have been received of the Improvement In this branch of the iron trade. The government's estimate ol the aggregate value of these exports during the fiscal year placed It at more than $50.000,000 above the highest previous record, a showing which ex? ceeded expectations. Crop reports, which are being watch? ed with increasing interest in the stock market, were confused to-day and un? favorable advices from the Northwest were associated with the comparative heaviness of the Hill stocks. The rail? road stocks as a whole, however, were] the strongest In the list. There was a good demand for the copper stocks, and Amalgamated Copper sold at the high point of the year. The trading in this group was influenced by the continued Improvement in the metal trade. The electric stocks also displayed unusual Ftrength.^ general electric rising three points. The annual report of Interna? tional Mercantile Marine, showing a decided improvement In earnings, caused a brisk buying of both common and preferred issues, which Improved price. The bond market was firm. Total sales, par value, $2,fi'J9,000. United States government bonds were un? changed on call. Total sales for the day, 2711,100 shares. New York.
