NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 30. The stock market was exceptionally active for a Saturday. The tone throughout th short session was strong ami buoyant with prices scoring gains varying from onehalf a point to a point and a half. The usual active specialties furnished the chief features. The grain tarrying roads displayed remarkable strength. Fundamentally this is at id should be in view of the excellent earnings such roads a Atchison, Northwestern, St. Paul, Missouri J'atlno ami Great Northern are showing. It is pointed out by some well informed traders that tile earnings of the variuua railroads will show still further gains before tho summer id over. Atchison advaneed from &0'.a to 92?; Union Pacific from 137 to 131; St. Paul, 128 to 130 and the balance of the active list secured fair gains compared with yesterday's closing figures. It is said in the street that the Standard OU li.teru.sts a-e decidedly favorable to a higher range of values for railroad securities, but the market lacks sufficient impetus to bring --bout a broad bull market at present. Nevertheless, brokers that usually operate for Standard Oil interests have been larjfd purchasers of stocks and have bei-ti pronouncedly bullish In their comments upon the market. Although the clique alone cannot produce a rampant bull market, they can keep It active and gradually Induce a public following. There is more or less manipulation in evidence during tho past few days. This in a measure lias become necessary in order to revive speculation and If possible create a short interest in the market. There must be an incentive of some kind to boost prici-8 An oversold condition of the market is on of the best factors to bring about higher values. Tho bank statement was disappointing. It, however, had practically no lntiuence as the trada in general had It figured to a nicety and were prepared for it. The market closed strong with indications pointing to a continuation of stronger markets. HEW YORK STOCK MARKET

WHEAT Suffered a reaction of about two cents a bushel. September declined from 99 to 95, closing at the lowest prices of the day. Profit taking, short selling and a peneral disposition to even up accounts over Sunday was the main Infiuenco which caused the reaction. As this is more or less cf a weather market, traders are reluctant to commit themselves too strongly upon either side, especially when 4S hours can give a very different aspect to the crop situation. The news in a general way was about of the same tenor as previously. Unseasonable weather in the northwest; slight decline in foreign markets; dull cash trade and the general belief that a reaction was due In

view of the rapid advance earlier in the week. The market closed with a weak undertone. Perchance some of the "Dollar bulls" will be sellers of wheat on any further dip. CORN Dull and quiet with a slight decline at the close in sympathy with the break in wheat. Trade entirely professional. Receipts of corn are gradually decreasing while the cash demand continues good. Weather conditions In the corn belt unsurpassed Crop killers are experiencing considerable difficulty in finding a stimulus to bull corn. OATS Ruled dull and lower. . The selling of July and buying of September continues upon a large scale. The difference tonight is four cents in favor of the July. This premium will gradually narrow within the next week. There should be but a oenttoacent and a half difference at the most. The market closed featureless. PRODUCE MARKETS. Chicago, June 29. An unsettled feeling existed in the market for poultry. There were 4 cars chickens received, of which a good many were springs. The demand for the latter was only fair and dealers were inclined to offer their consignments at lower prices so as to clean up. Veal also developed an easier tone, the higli prices prevailing bringing larger offerings from the country. Hutter and exgs were firmly held.

Morrison Bros, sold Reading and Union Pacific, and Chisholm & Co. also sold. Traders and others sold the market on the reported failure of the sale of New York City bonds. Cooke says: "Looks like shorts covering in Southern Railway common and preferred. I hear good advance coming in Reading." R. II. Simpson of Effingham, Law rence & Co. says there is something doing in Union Pacific. I don't know what it is, but from what I hear this morning believe you can safely advise your people to buy it. I think the action of the money market thus far is a great commentary on the condition of the rank and rile of 1 Commission houses. If they were fix- ! ed like last year money would be 25 j to 50 per cent instead of 7 and that rate in spite of the exhausted surplus reserve of the banks. London The curb market showed the best prices of the day, home stocks showed gains of one-half to one and one-half on balance. Canadian issues were cheerful on impovements in the crop advices from the Dominion. Americans which lost some fractions at your regular opening reached top figures after the regular closing here. Russian bonds were up one-quarter at 75 for the fours and 83 for the new fives. Paris tlrm; lierlin quiet. St. Louis Rains have interfered with the winter wheat harvest in many localities, notably in the southwest. Reports are received from Kansas of wheat becoming over-rlpa through delay in cutting. Farmers taktj every advantage of favorable weather to cut and thresh wheat and this work is progressing, notwithstanding the interruptions some of the threshing returns from southern Kansas where the worst damage was done by bugs, frost and drought, shows yields of one-third to one-half of last year's crop. It was reported in banking circles tli is morning that a syndicate was in process of formation which would bid for the $29,000,000 city bonds to be offered this afternoon on condition that Controller Metz would allow whatever portion of the funds received from the sale as were not needed immediately to He on deposit witn the banks composing the syndicate for two or three months. Xo confirmation of this report could be obtained and in fact the majority of bankers declared that they knew nothing about any syndicate except from rumor. Men connected with some of the most prominent institutions, nevertheless, said that they had every reason to believe that the sale would be a success. The market at the opening was rather strong and fairly active, and while stocks appeared for sale, prices were being marked up until the closing hour when on the announcement that the city bonds sale was a failure, prices quickly reacted and the higher priced issues lost about two points, while the lower priced shares lost in proportion. No bids for city bonds show the overcrowded condition of the bond market and with the general pessimistic feeling as to the investment in this line everywhere, it is only natural that this sale would not prove a success. The banks are not over anxious to loan money and investors can do better than getting 4 per cent on their money, hence no call from tliis quarter. Otherwise the situation is rather fair, and we think this is a good traders marKet. and stocks can be bought on reactions but should be sold on any fair advances. WANT EIGHT OF WAY BETWEEN CROWN POINT AND GARY. Air Line Ileprenentatlvea Visit County Sent to Urge Their Proposition liefore Chairman of Railroad Committee of Business Men's Association. Representatives of the Chicago-New Y'ork Air line appeared before Chairman Farley, of the Railroad Committee of the Crown Point Business Men's association, yesterday for the purpose of securing the right-of-way between that place and Gary. Mr. Farley could give him no encouragement, however, as President Buffington of the Gary and Hammond electric road had already secured an option on the deeds. It was stated to Mr. Farley that if given the privilege of buying the air line would begin construction on the road at once, the line to serve as a feeder to the main line being conI structed between Goshen and Chicago It la probable that their proposition j wi'.l be accepted if the officials of the Gary and Hammond Una do not take i advantage of the sixty day option which they now hold. Those who visited the county seat j yesterday in the interests of the Air j Line were Mayor Darrow of La Porte, Attorney Miller, and R, E. Sears, a member of the town board of Gary.
