NEW YORK, June 12. Speculative con ditions today favored traders on the long side o the stock market. Operations were on the same restricted scale as heretofore, but In spite of the slacknesa of demand the market moved upward. Quiet strength' was apparent in almost every quarter. A few shares, such as the Harrimans. Bteel and Canadian Pacific moved up a point or more. The average change, however, was small, and even the moderate gains at the day's high prices were cut down when the list eased off In the closing hour. The street was as Indifferent as ever to the extraordinarily rapid movement of gold out of the country. The amount engaged today was $2,000,000, bringing up the week's total to nearly $20,000,000. Exchange rates continued to rise. De mand sterling made another high record since 1907 at $4.89.10. Money rates held firm with higher quotations for long-time loans.

London was cred ited with taking 100O shares. In the bond market, there was unusual activity in several issues which commonly not figure extensively in tne dealings. such as Lake Shore debentures and St. Louis San Francisco refunding 4s.

Fear of rain damage in the harvest districts cut a good deal of figure. Later, however, selltncr out of a line held by a firm: which suspended had considerable to no ,wltn causing a downturn, roe almost simultaneous shutdown of the Lorimer Bank and a number of small state banks brought on a lively additional selling. In the trade the suspension of Sidney Long & Co. was directly connected with the Lorimer Bank difficulties. Corn weakness was only partly due to the Long failure and the bank troubles. Bene ficial rains in the districts which had been threatened by drouth made the market soft from the outset. Oats tumbled with other cereals. Influ enced, like corn, by the ending of the drouth and by the bank upset. Scarcity or hogs lifted the provision mar ket, but in the end quotations averaged somewhat lower than last night.
