The professional ',& contingent In the stock market today j1!fil;l started with -very discouraging ' Sllc views or the hopes of any activity In 5iltnc market or of any movement of prices, feut the market turned out bettor In tone gEnd distribution of business than was the 'jfCaflc under the stimulating Influence of fe-csterday's rjSC. jn Ontario & Western. It Ig'ould be difficult to fix upon n, specific :?au9e for this dovclopmcnt, as tho cur-frklfcnt cur-frklfcnt news seemed to have little Influence ton the market, gflfc-Thc weekly bulletin on the crops of the .-SR-oather bureau proved rather more fa-tvorable fa-tvorable than was expected on wheat for IMlboth the winter and spring crops, and tho flrtJIfaVorablc progress of tho cotton crop went Mif'to accentuate tho effect of the Govc-rn-rjll'mcnt report of iho June 1 condition of the Vf crop. The bulletin was less hopeful as to HfjMlhe corn crop, but the maturity of that KKrop t.s still sq far distant as to detract iB'rom the Importanre attached to Its pros-fl'.nt pros-fl'.nt condtlon. Favorable progress for tho rops Is better calculated than any other Mropyclopmcnt to settle the fluctuating opln-jpfevy opln-jpfevy oyer tho business prospects of the flEuntry. Hope scorns to be thus engen-fyHered engen-fyHered that tho present lower plane of busl-'iHWipss busl-'iHWipss and Industry may Vo'iitveftheless on HVa llrm basis, with reasonable assurance MBsnRalnst a progressive decline to a level QtMbf prostration. mfcTh'1 rather constant ratio of the decline villi railroad earnings goes to .establish thlB V'Bfeellng. "A late recovery In Ontario & SBVestern today produced more effect else-gRvhcro else-gRvhcro in the market than did yesterday's 3jifmore sensational advance, and the kln-RTilMdrcd kln-RTilMdrcd coalers were especially affected. Tho JMnuirlcc t ysh atill fur from being a broad ,one and was almost wholly In professional IflBhands so far as could be perceived. Tho (wjopersonallty of the brokers employed In tti'Xthe late buying conveyed an Impression jjjcthat some of tho larger Interests were taking stocks, and the sensational effect iffcjMpf tl'e buying was thus enhanced.

Incoming gold to the London mar-S8ket mar-S8ket was accordingly taken by the Dank of KEngland with no demand fo'r Paris ac--Tftount. The discount market was yielding jHboth In Paris and London. Tho market for jlMfster)lng here also yielded, thus deferring, DIHlf not avoiding, an outgo of gold to Lon-lUWfdori) Lon-lUWfdori) from hrre.
