May 29 -There waa a brief show of strength in this morning's stork market, but weak spots soon developed and the later trading became apathetic and at the last stagnant. The opening rise was helped by London, especially by a consider able rally In Rio tlntoa and a recovery In the copper market. As considerable Im portance was attached to yesterday's Lon don selling, which waa supposed to bo due to an embarrassment of the short side of cotton and of the long side of copper, this action of the London market was consid ered significant. Amalgamated Copper started upward In sympathy. In view of this tendency of the market and the Im minence of a two days' holiday the bear In terests showed a disposition to cover the short contracts. The two-day holiday here will be followed by the regular Whitsuntide holidays 011 foreign exchanges, so that the pressure of any sudden news development would be concentrated on the New York stock market on Monday. But when the bears started to cover they found it so easy to secure stock, owing to the Increase In of ferings as the price level rose, that they be came reassured. Amalgamated Copper was clearly under pressure of continued liquida tion, which was attributed, as was that of yesterday, to the unloading of pool ac counts In the stock. The price went a sharp fraction lower than yesterday's low point, but met some support and rallied over a point. There was renewed selling on a large scale of Rock Island, and later In the day In Union Pacific, and Southern Pacific suf fered renewed declines, fhe former touch ing a new low level for the movement. There was little to account for the action of the market. The bank statement was re garded as negatively favorable. Inasmuch as there was no Impairment of resources, but the small contractions in the loan ac count In view of the week's extensive liqui dation In stocks was a disappointment. It Is evident that the loans paid off with the proceeds of the liquidation were taken up Lv other requirements of which the public Is not Informed. The week's receipts of cash from the Interior on balances served to about offset the outgo of gold exports and otherwise. The conviction is general that a large outward movement of gold from New York Is to occur. The strike of freight handlers on western railroads con tinued Ao overhang the market and was supposed to account for the special pressure against Union Pacific. Northern Securities on tho curb also sold down to within a fraction of the low level on the market. The gains of the morning were quite gen erally wiped out on the reaction. One of these was In Leather preferred, whlcn moved up 14 on the plan for funding the delerred dividend on the preferred stock. The market closed lifeless and not far from the low level. , The bond market waa Irregular, lotal sales, par value, $1,640,000. Persistent and occasional urgent liquida tion have again been the feature of the stock market this week. Both the source of and motive for selling have been enveloped In mystery. The sup position that the selling was due to the special necessities of the holders rather than to conditions affecting tho properties whose shares were sold or to conditions in the general business situation were rather welcomed. The professional bears stood al ways ready to seixe an advantage Irom ih ilrm of vulnerability in the market and their attacks played an important part In forcing the declines. But the decline was unllorm in dislodging stock by wiping out margins and uncovering stop-loss or ders, and so Justified themselves from a C radical standpoint. The freedom of the ear selling gave hopes of the accumula tion of an effective short Interest and kept attention awake for signs of a rally, but each false start for an upward turn served to aggravate the discouragement of hold ers of stocks and to deter potential buyers from entering the market. Sentiment over the general outlook generally . declined in hopefulness with the extension of the fall In prices. The conviction was quite general that the selling from large capitalists for the purpose of protecting their commit ments in outside business and their hold ings In securities for which there Is no present market. Subscriptions to the un derwriting of the new Pennsylvania stock and the rumors revived by the renewal of the plans of the United States Ship Build ing company were given' aB samples of possible needs. The moral effect of the Pennsylvania underwriting Incident has been pronounced on the whole market. The necessity for a resort to a bankers' syn dicate to underwrite a stock issue of one of the country's foremost railroad com panies, offered to stoeKnoiaers on terms thai u.r. intended as a valuable privilege. has made a deep impression of the lack of absorptive power in the securities market. There Is no doubt that the underwriting project had as part of its purpose to reas sure sentiment and courage, the subscrip tion to the stock by others than the syndi cate. The renewed pressure to sell the stock after the underwriting had been an nounced therefore created a correspond ingly bad Impression. The official report accompanying the plan for reorganization of the ship building company and the drastic character of that plan, with Its sub stitution of stock Issues for previous bond holdings and its assertions of previous heavy overvaluations, serveo. 10 umquiei it,, oolinir of shareholders over the whole situation of Industrial combinations and their financing. Considerations which have had Weight for some time past continued In force, such as the outgo or goiu ana wie problem of the autumn money markets, the high prices for cotton and the high re straint of consumptive demand, the reac tionary tendency In the pig Iron market. the delayed planting or tne corn crop ana especially the widespread disturbances among wage workers. The hostile position between the Gould and Pennsylvania Inter ests is weakening in Itself and has caused fear of a spread to amnatea inieresis. Any Interest or a ravoraDie impnn nu been consistently Ignored. Improved net earnings for railroads In April, the sus tained level of westbound merchandise traffic bv railroads, the lnrge volume of bank clearings the country over and the favorable reports of the condition of the great winter wheat crop have been power less to inniice Duyinn 01 "i"'" though they have sustained confidence In the reK'nU maintenance of prosperity In the country. The possibility of an ap proaching Industrial reaction nas not lacked oiscussion, nimvn , m I'.o.. lng depression of the financial mood. The bond market has shown pressure of selling here and there, but has been more Irregular than stocKS. i nueu omim o .in clined 4 and the 4s, coupon, advanced v ner cent as compared wun tne closing can of last week.

NEW TORK, May 29 -The Financier this week says: The Ftrlkinir feature of the official state ment of the New Vork Associated Ranks Inst wet-k wns th? nlmost unprecedented slight chnngo of J4n.HO net cash, notwith standing the loss during- the week through expor'.s of gold to South America and to Europe of J4.4t52.i;iiO. This would sem to show that the loss through gold shipments wns offset by cash receipts from the In terior. The loans were decreased t4S7.20O, which may be regarded as a very small contrac tion, considering the heavy liquidation In the stock market during the latter part of the week. The specie was decreased tl.SfCi -Jim. while the legal tenders were Increased K.fWG.oiw. making the net gain In cash ttO.lfX). Ocposlts were reduced tl.fc9.300, and the re quired reHerve was thereby lessened by tJ.3aj; Oflciini; to this sum the net p-iln of ttti.I'M) In cash as above, makes nn inrrease of tl:'2. 425 In surplus reserve, which now Is 13.1.1ft, 150. The statement was most likely made up on declining averages for cash, for In ad dition to the tHiu.000 average loss of gold resulting from the mid-week shipments to Europe there was a withdrawal on Thurs day of 7;.O,0nO for export to Canada. The circulation wns decreased 830.7UO and the nvernifo dally clearings for five dp.ys (Saturday belns a holiday) were $:i3.000.noo, the clearings jcported on Friday, represent ing Thursday s businesi, were $215, 21i.iM4. "With money ruling al low rates at call and with such a oonge.-uion of funds at this cen ter as now exists, the condition of tho banks may be regarded as a matter of little concern. The probability that more gold will be shipped to Europe this week, and therefore that the bank statement of the tfth Inst, will make a poor showing, should cause no anxiety to borrowers. Rank lend ers will certainly not feel disturbed If the next bank statement should prove to be greatly unfavorable. Jievr York Money Market. NEW YORK. May .

The landed scoured cost In Boston is fx((j-32c. There Is a fair demand here and a firm m irket. with some grades tending higher, dealers who are operating In the west feel that the comparatively high prices are warranted by the shortage in the clip and the strong situation aliroad.

Buyers, though, took hold freely, and the market was actlvo and generally steady with yesterday on all desirable grades. The same as bus been the case for some time pa-it, beef steers made up the bulk of the offerings. There was some uneveuness In. the prices paid and Quite a number of sales looked a little stronger, but as a gen eral thing the market could best be de scribed Dy calling it steady. Handy weight cattle of good flesh and quality continue to be in the best demand, while the common cattle and heavyweights are not quite as ready sellers. The warmed-up cuttle go largely to feeder buyers. There were comparatively few cows In the yards this morning and as all the nackers had to have a few the market could safely be auoted fairly active and steady. What has been said for the last several days regarding the unevenness in the prices paid still holds true. That is UartlCUiariy me caee Willi mo innumn grades, so that some sales look consider ably better than others, but the average prices paid touay were very nine uniereui from those paid yesterday. i...ii- 1 n.lvM nnd slnFra were In llGrhl supply this morning and the market showed no quotable change. There were scarcely phuuku rci a nun le this morning to make a test of the situation, but It Is safe to say that not many cattle were wanted. Prices have held fully steady ail mis ween on ucsirauie grades, with the demand Just atiout lnrge enough to keep the yards well cleaned up so far as the good cattle are concerned. Thin cattle have been very scarce and have met with ready sale at strong prices, while the warmed-up cornfeds, although not In as good demand, nave sola wiinout mucn trouble at good steady prices.

At the xti.i the market was weak to do lower, but later on the situation Improved, owing to a liberal dem.-ind on the pnrt of local packers and besides that there were several shipping orders By the middle of the forenoon all the enrly arrivals were disposed of and the average price was onlv a shade lower than yesterday. The bulk of the sales went fioni I5.67S to $5.72"j. with prime loads selling ns hiuh as f.V8n. The commoner grades sold from $567V4 down. There were several trains late rn arriving, so the market did not come to a close until a late hour.

Re ceipts have been light all the week, but still it has been evident that the tendency on the part of packers Is to pound prices, on the commoner grades in particular. Choice Iambi, have been In good demand and prices may safely be quoted steady, but the comomner grades of iambs and all kinds of sheep and yearlings are safely 26c lower. Some markets quote the decline still worse than that, but tne demand has been sufficient to prevent a greater decline at this point. Feeders have been In light supply s.11 this week and prices have nut fluctuated to any great extent.
