BEARS HARP on THE GOLD EXPORTS.
Reaction and Arc Quick to Take
In Their Profits.

New York. June 1S-Thcre were evil
dences today of marked strength m the
market for securities and the level OF
prices was a. times materially above yes
,erday's close. Some stocks held net
advance until the close of the market. but
some prominent shares sold oft to yester-
DAVIS close or below 1t before the close.
The Grangers were an example.
Very marked strength was developed In
some conspicuous cases, due TO special
ceuses. ana this va, sustaining factor
in the market. But powerful professional
leaders are operating Oh the conviction
that a general reaction is due-or over
duc-and they are waOtchful to take profits
or to joint the short side. London buying
aud good crop reports were against ti'is
element today. but they found an effect

to the sharp sunenng of sterling ex-

COTTON MAY Be CORNERED
The Statistical Position Is the
Strongest Seen In Years.
EXPORTS LARGE, RECEIPTS SMALL.
New Orleans UnsoId stock Is Next
TO Nothing--Futurcs Advanced In
All Markets.
Ofec,> Of The Post.

Houston, trday, June IL.
Doubtless the fear of manipulation was
wholly responsible for the advance In cot
ton futures at New York and New Or
leans this afternoon. The dullness was ms
great as heretofore. them was no outside
SPECULATION. no bad crop repors-nuthi1S
but statistical position stronger than
has been seen in many years Today its
strength was made more promincn; than
ever. New York Galveston and New Or
leans reported clearances of about l?voo
bales and reduced their visible stocks TO
a point that is astonishingly small. New
orleans has only $500 bales of cotton in
presses. Galveston not over 5000 ba,cs UNI
sold. while New York's unsold stock is
barely over 100, 900 bales.
If such a situation doesn't result In a
corner Of the market 1t will indeed be
remarkable opportunity lost. The entire
port stocks in this country are oniy 22s,-
SIS hales. and OF this amount fully 3Oc'o
bales are sold and on shiphoard. Interior
stocks are only 5000 bales ani the amount
al uuoounted towns is less than ever be-
fore known at this time of the year.
Houston. the great clearing house fer The
State of Texas, reports only IL bales IN
transit for this market. on this day last
year there were 5l5l bales on railroads
destined for Houston.
Liverpool continues to do big spot
business daily. and such sales as have
been recorded for tho past week will soon
cause the stocks thera to look very small
especially when It Is considered that her
holdings most last for nearly three
months. or until new cotton can be placed
or that market.
