NEW YORK LETTEE. New York, June 12 The market today was no less professional than that of yesterday. Dealings were more contracted, price movements were irregular and did not appear to reflect any specific influences. The severe break in the wheat market which should have a beneficial eKect upon stock values was disregarded entirely. For the first time in several weeks a hardening tendency was noted in the call money market. This was attributable to the forthcoming July disbursements. Call loans reached the rate of 3 per o-nt. for small loans. This factor did not influence the market to any material effect. Reading, Union Pacific, Southern, Pacific, Copper and Smelters furnished tiie "bulk of the trading without any of these Issues being a particular feature. The changes In the market upon the whole are so small that they are hardly worthy of comment. mi mi STOCK MET

HEARD ON THE BOURSE The market was weak all day on the rumored troubles in Japan and the United States over the SanFrancisco matter, and on reports that heavy shipments of coal had been made to Frisco for naval purposes. The selling looked to us, however, entirely professional, and believe that stocks can be bought at current prices with comparative safety.

Ed Sweet and Co. It seems quite likely that there will be a let-up In exports of gold to Pails, as there Is very little profit in the shipment of gold with sterling at present quotations. It ,.,,., , ,,ecl,l, that higher rates for ' . siderable money will be finding its way into the interior and the see losing cash every week. bank3 T. A. Mclntyre and Co. It is impossible to find anything bullish in the stock market on todays government crop report or in the money situation, to say nothing of the bond market or the improbability that President Roosevelt Is going to climb down in any such manner as many of the manipulators of the market have been trying to make the street believe. There is now very little short interest of a weak character outstanding and unless there is a much better class of buying soon than has recently been the case, we would not be surprised to see pjrices continue their recessions. A. O. Brown & Co. The grain report was construed as being more favorable than had been expected and the fact that the demand for stocks increased and prices advanced readily after the report was out may be regarded as an indication that unfavorable developments have been fully discontinued in the decline and the market is now in condition to respond to good news. A good many traders are still somewhat bearish and disposed to fight the advance but this will serve to maintain the short interests and their operations are rot likely to seriously hamper the advance. Present conditions seem to justify further improvement in prices. Great Northern and Northern Pacific seem to us to be on the verge of an upward movement of considerable proportions. The same may bo said of St. Paul. The grangers should come more into favor on account of the latest de velopments. Reading is also in a posi tion where it can reach the 118 object ive without much opposition if the pool is willing to take hold aggressively. Union Pacific and Southern Pacific ac cording to information emenatlng from reliable resources may be brought on all soft snots as the Ilarriman element seems more encouraged to become bullishly aggressive. Amalgamated Copper could do much better if offerings toward high level of yesterday shall be removed. Rumors of drive at shorts in Pennsylvania and New York Central and Atchison. August Hecksher. William S. Ward and J. VanVechten Olcott were today appointed by Judge Holt in the United district court receivers for the corporation of Milllken Bros, under a bond of $500,000. The order of the court directs that the receivers tdiM.ll have power to purchase for cash or on credit steel. Iron and other merchandise, such as may be necessary for the carrying on of the business of the bankrupt corporation including the operation of the plant.
