FELL OFF IN VALUE.
The Market Shows Signs of ReIaps-
ing Into Sluggish Conditions.

New York, July 2S.-The stock market
today showed signs of relapsing into the
sluggish conditions which prevailed last
week. Trading fell away in volume and
was thoroughly professional in character.
On reports of damage TO the crops
through prolonged drought the traders
sold the granger stocks in the morning,
but the declines were only fractional.
They were. doubtless, encouraged in
their policy by the ST. PauTs June state
ment of earnings, which showed a de-
crease in net earnings Of over $4,000
On the other hand the complete state
metn of the company for the fiscal year
showed over S per cent earned on the
common stock. Such a showing gives a
very comfortable leeway to a company
which pays only per cent dividends.
The movements in the general market
were not particularly significant in all
the circumstances.
The dealings for foreign account were
upon a very light scale. though the Lon
don market for American stocks was re-
ported weak. Sugar continued in the lead
in respect of activity and huctuated in an
erratic way. Another industrial, National
Linseed OIL broke violently on advices
from Chicago telling of the company s
financial difficulties, but the course of the
stock engaged only a limited interest.
The anthracite declined on very light
dealings. Peoples Gas was strong on the
judicial decision in favor of the company
in the Chicago courts, where a receiver
had been applied for on the ground of tbs
alleged unconstitutionality of the act OF
consolidation passed last year.
The movements elsewhere in the mar.
ket were without definite explanation
aside from technical circumstances.
The tone of the market at the close wa.
uncertain.

4 New York Cotton Market.

New York, Feb 16.-The course of to- days cotton market favored the bear ele- ment although the sealing continued. Opening steady with the near months un- changed to one point lower, and the more remote positions 2@4 points lower, the market ruled irregular with the tendency steadily downward. The close was steady at net loss of 40D6 points. Although Liverpool made favorable response to our improvement late yesterday at the start subsequent cables told of less sta bility abroad which was attributed by private advices to manipulation at that point The selling movement was led by a prominent bear trader. with Liverpool a good second. ts'
 News from the south was scarce. The dispatches received were too conflicting to have decided bearing on either side. The fact that port receipts continued fully up to the recent high average despite predic- lions for marked falling off made last week had comparatively little influence, as export clearances show tendency to even exceed the movement from the interior.

By Private Wire to T. G. Hewlett, Agent.
 New York, Feb. f6a4The blowing up Of the warship Maine was notable topic of con- yersation on the floor of the exchange Wednesday,, but as a market influence the unfortunate happening was insignificant. English adyfces were not particularly fa- yorable to either side of the account, while domestic conditions displayed no essential change from those dominant for some time past Dispatches from the Fall River dis trqct were more satisfactory and southern representatives were not furnished with any important news by their home offices. The movement at the ports was about as anticipated. Trading as a rule was not very extensive and prices during the great CT part of the session were restricted to a rather narrow range. IS f1e

Cotton Letter.

New York, Feb 16.-Business on the cot ton exchange today was greatly hampered by the fact that telegraphic communication With the south was almost entirely sus- pended. The market was dull and prices were lower. Liverpool advanced 1k to g. 64ths. But this report was not regarded as satisfactory, and our market opened from I to points lower After ghe opening sprices generally sought the level of the lowest figures and practically remained there all day. Receipts, of course, were very heavy. May opened at 606 declined to 6.Ol and closed at 6.02 to 6O3, with the tone of the market steady. The uncer- tainty concerning the appalling disaster to the battleship Maine at Havana greatly unsettled the stock market and did cotton no good. We do not feel bullish.
