NEW YOEK LETTER. New sa 1 es scarce York, June of St. Paul y reaching 2-. With the total an active stock, a thousand shares for the that th Other active o f an y wards day, one can imagine the rut f stock market Las gotten into, issues as a rule, equally as did not record a transaction kind. The list is drifting tothe annual July disbursements with the leaders in the market practically doing nothing. There was plenty of news of one kind and another to stimulate activity and encourage speculation, but the outside public held aloof with a determination almost phenomenal. The usual active favorites, such as Reading, I'nion Pacific, Copper, Smelters, Atchison and St. Paul showvery little change in prices compared with yesterdays closing ligures. The directors of the Reading company declared the usual dividend of 4 ijer cent. This was received without a demonstration either for or against the stie-k. Mr. Vanderslip, the Standard Oils public spokesman in a speach last evening dwelt upon the general situation. He talked of a reaction in Dust iness, but like a great many oiners, he said he was restrained from becoming too radical on account of the various statistics which show business condition very strong. His attack upon President Koosevelts policy in regard to corporations was valueless is it is well known that lie was speak ing for Standard Oil interests. There has been so far $18,000,000 gold shipped to Europe since the present outllow began. Estimates are appear ing that it will reach $25,000,000 before the movement terminates. The bank statement tomorrow is expected to be a poor one. The surplus reserve will show a decrease between one and two minion wnicn win leave the national banks with only three or four million above the legal requirements. The market upon the whole closed dull and listless with very few price changes noted throughout the list. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET

The wheat mar ket was a tame affair in comparison to the activity displayed last week. Early prices were weaker than the closed last evening, but the weakness was short lived, supporting orders in the September option were disclosed which turned the tide and brought about a little firmer tone in the market at the close. A very large cash business was reported, sales to export ing houses of durum and red wheat in a quantity said to exceed over a half million bushels was the bullish Influence. Foreign market? were quoted dull and indifferent. The general crop news from both the south and northwest was of the usual character, damages reported from some quarters and contradictions from others. The wheat market had a narrow range and at no time was there any perceptible enthusiasm. CORN Fine weather throughout the corn belt induced considerable selling at the opening, but upon the decline a fair buying movement began which steadied the market. The cash situation in the corn market is the strong est so far this year, sales 10 exporters being close to a million bushels, These sales to exporters have been kept under cover as much as possible, that is one reason it did not influence speculative options and bring about a stronger market.

the first time since the bull movement began there has been a disposition to buy the more deferred months and the differences between July and September which has been as wide as ten cents a bushel is narrowing down. The difference now being About eight cents and theso two options should come much closer together within the next fortnight. The market closed steady. rnOUl'CE MARKETS. Chicago, June 21.

Packing 635,000 against same number last year. Mutual Bank At a meeting of the directors of the Mutual bank Tuesday Richmond Dean, general manager of the Pullman company, was elected a director to f.ll the vacancy caused by the death of A. L. Thomas. Judging from the trend of the stock market during the past three, or four months, liquidation has about run its course, and while we shall probably experience a dull and irregul for several weeks, I believe dency will be to a higher prices. r market the tenlevel of In my opinion, stocks should be bought on all moderate reactions, with the idea of securing handsome profits. Stocks like Pennsylvania, Atchison, B. & O., New York Central, Union Pa cific, Southern Pacific per, the more active a purely investment dition have splended bilities. St. Paul and Copare all good on basis, and in adspeculative posslA rumor was circulated in New York this morning to the effect that a large sale of copper has been made in this city at 22 cents a pound. We have Investigated this rumor and find that the only people who could make such sales are the Calumet and Hecla interests and they have made- no concessions in their asking prices. The directors of the Reading company hold no regular meeting in July and August on account of the summer weather. The next regular meeting will be held in September but a special meeting can be called at any time and it is expected that there will be one for the purpose of considering the dividend question. No such call has been issued. The market certainly don't look very enticing to outsiders; but I submit that stocks are selling ex-calamity. Conditions have changed for the better rather than for the worse in the last six months, and prices are ten to fifty points lower now than then. This discounts a whole lot of bad news. The public has been forced to let go, liquidation is over, and it is only a matter of time before we get upward movement of substantial proportions. "While public sentiment generally Is pessimistic, as it always is following a severe decline, and filled with apprehension that dividends will be reduced this year, I take the opposite view and predict that many companies will on the contrary, increase dividends. The crop scare lias largely discounted the damage, and without a doubt, we shall harvest a fairly good crop, sufficiently large to give the railroads all the traffic they can profitably handls.

Bridegroom's Second Visit Would One Day Afterward. Be Rev. Dr. William II. Fisburn, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, most sunshiny men in the world and likes nothing better than a good wholesome joke, even if it is turned against himself. He was visited in his home on last St. Patrick's day by a prosperous looking couple who de sired his kindly office in making them one. The man was an ironmaster from Pittsburg and the bride-elect was a Jersey woman.
