Show I 'FIRST HOUR HAS I SOME LURE LIFE ilfter That, Market Lapses Into Dnllncss That Has Been j Feature of Late. UJOUT THE ONLY BUYING IS BEING DONE BY SHORTS Nothing in Present Conditions to Stimulate Traders Into Making Aggressive Move. XEW YORK, Juno 30. There was a air degree of activity during tlio first our of the. stock exchtuico session to-ay. to-ay. Apparently it took about that niffth of timo to demonstrate to tho atfafaction of tho professional traders liat there was uotiiintr in tho market, 'hoir tentative operations ' largely oascd after that, and tho market mscd into stagnation more profound ban anvthing tlint has been witnessed efore this summer. Tho amount of borrowed stock that ras returned to lenders in tho loan de-artmcnt de-artmcnt revealed the extent to which esterdav's light buying demand was to P attributed to tho deduction of tho ..ij-rnriAinrr clmri-. intrrrf !-? rnnrrl li ifrom such a cause had little in it (o stimulate speculative buying of stocks. The supposition that yesterday's yester-day's faint stirring of demand was a herald of reinvestment buying with tho proceeds of the half-yearly disbursements disburse-ments of profits was negatived by this disclosure of the origin of the buying.

The bearish sentiment of tho traders frompts thorn toscll stocks short, au() svery short salo implies a necessity for rcbujinp an equal amount. This is a potential element of firmness in tho market, as was demonstrated in the Short-lived advance yestorday. The nou-1 nou-1 success of tho bear selling 'in dislodging dislodg-ing any real holdings of stocks implies, on tho other hand, the determination i-,of holders not to pari with their stocks rat present prices. That tho floating 'supply of stocks is scanty is obvious from the difficulty .with which shorts jet back what they havo sold. Here pcomcs in the. influences of the extremely extreme-ly easv condition of tho money market and the general confidence felt in a profitable vield of the country's crops. There was nothing' today to change opinions of those important underlying Conditions. A favorable impression'was .made by the resumption of construction construc-tion work said to have been made by 'tho Union Pacific. The wago settleme't announced by tho American Sheet and Tin Plato company had a like inllu-eflcc. inllu-eflcc. The maintenance of the Anaconda Ana-conda dividend seemed to bo expected. Funds were offered in abundance for , loans for time with very light demand. The closing of the fiscal vear was the -occasion of the 2 per cent call loan Tate. The day's price changes were mostly small declines. Bonds were steady. Total sales, par value. $1,173,000. k' United States bonds were unchanged ion call. Y New York Bonds.
