New York, June 4. .In today's dealings in stocks there were num erous strong spots and not many which disclosed a position of weak ness. Nowhere in the list was there evidence, however, of the initial stage of a sustained movement in cither direction and one of the dull est sessions in more than a year told its own story of an almost complete suspension of public interest. The group which enjoyed the at tention of professional buyers were the railroad equipment issues, whose net gains ran from two to four points, the tobacco and allied stocks and some of the oil, automobile and steel shares. The rails moved un certainly and, if anything, were duller than the industrials. Call money ruled at 6 per cent through out the day's business. Liberty bonds acted better than in preceding days of the week and dealers reported a substantial inflow of buying orders from institutions. Belgian Loan Oversubscribed. The Hera of chief Interest In the In vestment market lay in the Indication, supplied In the announcement that sub-, Fcrlptlon lists would be closed today, that the Belgian government's $50,000,000 loan hsd been handily oversubscribed. The provision under which at least $2,000,000 of tho bonds will bo called at 116 the offering is 97 evidently added an at traction to the Issue decidedly stimulating to Investors who also found agreeable factors In a high yield and In figures showing that Belgium' recovery from war effects has been substantial. First In Wall street s consideration of the moment Is the political question, and second, stands the situation of tha crops. Inasmuch as tha outlook for a republican candidate was today as much confused as ever, and as highly conflicting crop news 1 coming to hand, the hesitant movements of stocks are explainable In part from these causos. Private report from the corn belt forecast an Increased acreage In Important localities, and while the decline from last year's total in winter wheat acreage has been estimated by government investigators, It Is not certain yet that complete figures, on spring wheat planting will not compare favorable with those of a year ago. Wheat Harvest Good. In the south-west the wheat harvest Is coming along In excellent condition, ac cording to the most recent dispatches. The gradual betterment of tallroad trans portation was shown in newa todav that several Important Ohio valley steel plant naa oeen aoie to reopen alter several weeks' Idleness. The week' trade reviews note that while activity, especially In textile goods, continues on a basis considerably reduced from that of a month ego, conditions surrounding production and supply as Bradstreet' say "are not uch! as to glvo countenance to the calamity talk of a few weeks ago." Sterling exchange reacted further today, at tho same, time that some of the continental rates were moving forward. London buying was re ported as an influence which tended to raise German exchange quotations at New Tork, and other central European rates turned a gradual easing tendency of Wednesday and Thursday into a fair upturn.

Strong commis sion houses sold corn freely early and while July dropped ViC the de cline was not maintained. Offer ings on the breaks were readily ab sorbed and a bulge of 3jic from the inside figures followed, stop loss or ders being caught on the way down, and again on the way up. Trade on the whole was not large and price fluctuations very rapid. Clos ing trades were at net gains of H l'Ac July oats showed increased congestion and gained ljsc while September was c lower.

The car situation, -rvhlle renrted a3 better In sm.e sections, showed no Im provement !r the Icudings on the leading lines With this exception, the news waa construed as bearish.

Cash corn prices were unchanged to 3c higher with receipts 106 cars, closing weak at around the final figure of the previous day. Outside market showed a heavy undertone throughout the day. July oats showed congestion and at the close showed a greater gain than any other grain.

A new high figure for the season was made early, but the September failed to get abov the outside price of the previ ous day. Sample values wer unchanged to Jc higher, closing easy with the ad vances lost. Premiums were firm with shipping sales 32,000 bushel. Receipts, 27 cars. Pressure on Bye. .
