Street Indifferent to Gold Ex
portsBond Demand Active.
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. Indications were that the week's
gold exports would result in large cash loss
by banks.
American stocks were dull in London, but
foreign representatives took a ' position on
the buylcg side here. 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. Prices in
the main were well sustained. Total sales
par value $2,537,000. United States bonds

JULY OPTION CLOSES WITH LOSS OF

Corn and Oats Are Alsa Down Because
i
of Troubles In Grain Trade
at Chicago.
CHICAGO, June 12. Banking house dif
ficulties and the suspension of the grain
firm of Sidney Long &. Co. were responsible
today Ior a selling; flurry on the Board of
Trade. Closing, prices, however, showed a
comparatively steady feeling, with net de
clines as follows: Wheat c to He corn

an advance of 2c.
seuer tnat after tour days aeenne. a re-
action was due, helped bring about an early
rally in wheat. 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.
