LATEZST MOVBM ENTS I IS INDUSTRIAL CENTERS,

NEW YORK LETTEE. New York, June . The stock market opened strong and higher with Reading and I'nion Pacific the principal features, These two Issues represented almost half of the entire day's dealings, Reading .sold up to Pacific from 132 to 13 102 and Union during the first hour of the session. Liter In the day when the bull operators made an effort to take profits, pi rlr on ?lipped off Just as easy as they advanced. Room trailers and professional operators sold Reading on the rumor that the dividend rate would remain unchanged. This selling induced some liquidation in other specialties and brought about a reaction of two points in Reading, one and one-half in Union Pacific and about one point in the balance of the active securities. One can form a very fair idea of the dullness in the stock market when it is noted the entire day's transactions did not reach the two hundred thou sand mark. During the busy season, three months ago, that number of shares of stock would change hands luring the first hour of the session. Brokerage houses generally report a dearth of outside speculation and look on gloomily while expense accounts pile up. The entire market is in the hands of the professional element. So long as the outside public is indiffereijt to the market and a new leader does not appear, prices will fluctuate within nar row limits. The market upon the whole closed ! dull and listless. tO YORK STOCK

CHICAGO LETTEK. Chicago, June IS WHEAT The bull news which was so prevalent yesterday again appeared today. Although copious rains over the entire state of Kansas and Nebraska was reported and which will have a tendency to dispell the hot wind stories for the present, it had no material effect upon prices. Green bugs are reported in the northwest and are doing considerable damage to the spring wheat crop. In portions of Oklahoma where harvesting has been reported, the yields are reported extremely light. The wheat market had a range of about a cent and a half with the bulls having the better of the argument at the close of the season. CORN Ruled strong throughout the entire day. With the Liverpool markets showing an advance of over a penny for corn, shorts exhibited some anxiety end were anxious buyers. Offerings from j country dealers are almost nothing I while there is a fair demand for cash ! corn in the sample market. Cash sales j today about 150.000. The market clos- ' ed with an advance of about three- ' eighths of a cent for the active futures. nTS A rush to cover July oats at the opening caused a stampede among the shorts and produced a rally of almost two cents a bushel in that future. The more deferred futures sympatized to a certain extent. The green bug stories were again revived to stimulate speculative activity. It was said these p.sts were doing great damage in Indiana and busy pesL Oats in Illinois. It certainly is a the sample market ruled fractionally higher. Sales to exporters 125.000.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE

We advise trading in manner and would take fits on either sdde. a conservative moderate proStocks may continue fluctuating within a narrow ranee for a little while longer, but unless Wall street is going to shut up shop altogether, there must soon be an impro vement.-Rldgley. The whole street is bearish and notwithstanding the fact that the market leaders are heavily oversold, still prices are predicted by conservative houses. If the market breaks, we would pdek up standard stocks. W. C. Thorne. M. Nager of Montgomery Ward & company, says: June 1907, finds the country fully as heavy a buyer in Chicago as one year ago tins month. There is no let up in the activity of our business. The tip is all over the street that there will bo a sharp jab Monday and Tuesday, on which stocks can be bought j for a good advance". Some bad announcement on U. 1. will furnish a ipreiext for the break. The bank statement was not as good as expected, which also had a disturbing influence. The further loss in the surplus reserve leaves a very small margin above legal requirements. High rates for money can be expected with the monetary situation such as it is. The market today, probably Jn re sponse to the more seasonable weather and the cessation of liquidation both abroad and here, after a rather weak opening. Improved, and held its Im provement with gradual strengthening the entire day. There was very little news over the week end, except that the U. P. stock holders voted for the increase asked oi them by their management, and negatively, there being no disorder in Russia following the disbursement of the Duma, we might consider that good news. The market was very dull, however, and while we hope for higher prices, we do not expect any rush up nor any volume of business. Weather and crop conditions were regarded favorable today though very high temperatures are ruling over the west and south. Earlier rainfall has been sufficient to protect the crops from effect of dry weather for sometime to come. Salt Lake City, Utah. At a special stockholders meeting of the Union Pacific Railroad company, here Saturday, It -was decided to issue $10, 000,000 hew stock. The Issue is for the purpose of meeting the expenses of improvement, present and prospective, along the line of the, Union Tacific. In addition to a rather large aggregate investment purchases which have been made In the market in the last three months, we must conclude that the stock market generally Is In strong hands, from which partial dislodgement is not likely in the immediate future. This, however, only involves the technical condition of the market which appears strong enough at the time and In the absence of some paramount cause for depression, we may hope for its continuance. During the new two weeks financial preparations for inter est and dividend payments on July 1st, in conjunction with high Sterling rates, may disturb the security list. A resumption of dullness, with nar row trading conditions influenced some steadiness today, more as a result of technical conditions, than a general change in sentiment, light, and somewhat Offerings were mora favorable, foreign advices, with reports, were among fairly good crop the 'news items Call money hardened somewhat and the banks made a further loss through sub treasury operations of about $1,200,000 6ince Friday. Demand Sterling advanced to new high records, though no export gold engagements were announced up to 2 P. 1.1. The tone of the market was well preserved, and this development being a feature of the situation on several occasions recently when in fluences were unfavorable, is being made the cause of favorable comment The Charming Woman. Of all the women born into an un grateful and unappreciatlve world none can compare to the really charming one. We may admire the beauty and gaze in awe at the bluestocking, hug the "dear things of our acquaintance" and thump the "good sort' on the back, but in the presence of a person ality which "charms" us we remain in speechless and almost breathless fascination. Truly of every such woman can it be said which was said by St. Simon of one of the most fas cinating women of his time, that she walks "like a goddess on the clouds L'Inconnve. A WANT AD.
