Unfounded rumors that some In tho grain

teen minutes a sufficient number of shorts
were Induced to cover to keep the prices with

Within an hour however tho sentiment
showed a change The market here paid no

that had been turrcnt oarly together with the
development of a good card demand short

New York Juuo 20 Stock values generally
appreciated in vaiuo today to the oxtcnt of
important fractions In the standard shares
whllo tho Improvement was considerably
greater In somospecialties At the opening
the bears tried to repeat their successes of
lost week and In tho first quarter of an hour
brought about recession in the price of somo
lending specialties but tho railways showed
resistance to tho selling movement Tho
early weakness of wheat and a rather feat-
ureless tono of London gavo no decided lead
to the market nnd the anticipated announce-
ment of tho nrrlvil of tho American armies
nt Santiago aud Manila was not vet forth
coining
Tho earnings of railways for the second
week of Juno generally showed Increases
There was evidence of heavy purchases by
houtcH representing substantial Interests
which quickly steadied tho market aud event-
ually 1 brought about advances well ubovo
Saturdays closing although realizations ut
times retarded tho Improving tendency Cov-
ering In the grangers was partly attributed
to the clear weather over much of the corn
crop area
The rising movement In stocks was partly
credited to tho Inability of the bcur faction
to bring about liquidation and tho closing
was btrong Somo specialties after nn early
momentary heaviness moved up sharply In
common with tho pronounced tendency of tho
general market
Tho bond market was 1 cry dull and opera-
tions wcro largely centered in tho speculative
