TOCK TRADING RANGE NARROW NEW YORK, June 2.—The trading area offered by the market for some time past remained unbroken in the session on the stock exchange today. Prices moved lately over an exceedingly narrow range. The list resisted efforts to depress quotations very well, altho showing little resiliency on the rallies. Speculators for the decline took their cue from pessimism in mercantile reviews. The possibility of a filibuster planned by the radical elements to prevent congressional adjournment Saturday was another excuse for marking down prices. All these adverse developments, however, failed to bring out any real selling. Even the oil group, which was made the main objective of the professional bear crowd was not subjected to any important outside pressure. The day's news, however, was not without its encouraging aspects. The optimists were eager to stress the importance of the federal reserve board's review covering the month of May which testified to a healthier tone in business and the probability of a more than temporary industrial and commercial revival. With the subsidence of bear pressure at the end of the first hour values hardened all around but trading continued exceedingly dull. Public utilities were by far the most prominent division. Investment buying made itself felt in various sound dividend paying industries and railroads, notably general electric, American Can and International Paper. Railroad shares were inactive thrust into the session with an undertone fairly easy. Domestic bonds were slightly irregular. Foreign governments generally stood. Grains were irregular. Cotton jumped from $4 to $6 a half following the publication of an extremely bullish government cotton report. Foreign exchanges were featured by a break in French francs thru the five cent level, due to the unsettled political situation in France. Wheat was down 2 to 2½c and corn ½ to ½c and oats ¼ to ¾c. Sympathy with lower cables and a decided drop at Winnipeg and reports of rain in wheat sections from which had come reports of damage to the growing crop from continued dry weather were responsible. There was not much doing in provisions. NEW YORK CITRUS NEW YORK, June 2—Nineteen cars navels, 23 cars valencias, two mixed cars and 12 cars lemons sold. Market about 25 to 40c higher on oranges.
