New York. July Ga somewhat reaction-
airy tone marked the dealings in the stock
market today. and the trading hattened
out materially in respect of activity. The
appearances of irregularity that were mani
Tested in yesterdays market were even
more accentuated today, and the market
showed a further undesirable shifting Of
speculative interest out of the standard
issues into others Of a fancy grade. The
liquidation, or rather profit-realizing sales,
in the frst-named continued in large vol
ume and was more effective today in its
results upon prices. Aside from the natu-
raj inclination to cllnch the profits accrued
from the substantial rise in the standard
issues within the past fortnight there was
little to account for their reactionary
course. Perhaps as regards the granger
shares an unfavorable effect was produced
by the reports OF excessive rainfalls in the
Northwest, a circumstance that received
some reflection in the grain market. The
money market was again rather close,
though practically all the days borrowing
on call was effected under the legal rate
and there was an ample supply of money
Offering for all time periods at unchanged
rates
Foreign houses traded fairly active in
the days market, but on balance very
little was done here for foreign account.
The American quarter of the London mar
ket was reported firm on dividend eXpec-
tations. That stock was notably firm in
the local market on the same account,
and Southern Railway preferred was
steady, rejecting the remarkably good
statement of earnings for the last week OF
June. The company closes its fiscal year
with gross earnings of 81, ,630, 900, or u
per cent in excess of those of last year,
which were swollen by the extraordinary
traffic arising out of the movement of
troops and munitions of war The reac-
tionary movement extended throughout
the market. with the exception of the in
dustrial quarter, where some smart ad-
yances were noted. Sugar Refining was the
feature there in respect of strength and
activity, the advance being attended by
much talk of bettering trade conditions.
American Steel and Wire, Federal Steel,
Tobacco stocks. and Tennessee Coal and
Iron also participated in the strength
shown in the industrial quarter. The local
traction shares moved in uniformity with
the general market and the anthracite coal
group shared In the reactionary tendency
notwithstanding the increase in the coal
output for June of 1,000, GOO tons. Trading
at the close was light in volume and with

COTTON MARKET DULL.
Interest CenterinG in the Adyic.
Regarding the Texas Crop.

lReceived daily by E. A. Bowers Co., brokers,
Washington Loan and Trust Building, CORE
spondents Ware d Leland, Chicago; Purnell, Hag-
aman 4 Co., New York;
New York. July 6.-Texas reports re-
garding cotton damage absorb most at
tentio nat present. but advices are still
lacking in sufficient details to enable peo-
pie to estimate the food damage The
idea is growing that much OF the probable
damage will be Offset by benefit to the
crop in the districts outside of the flooded
territory. The trade appears to have dis
missed the idea of immense damage, while
admitting that it may reach a total
not insignificant. The general situation
outside of Texas is satisfactory, and this,
with the fact that Liverpool shows no
snap or scare on the Texas situation, is
not encouraging for those who are bulls
on cotton.
The market today has been of little i'm
portance as far as fluctuations in prices
are concerned. There were advances in
the early part of the day, followed by
general recession, which left the level little
changed for the day.

Recessions of from a fraction TO two
points or more characterized the stock
market yesterday, the realizing being
heavy and the buying mostly spasmodic.
The close was at nearly or quite the low
prices for the day in most stocks. London
continued buyer of American securities
and there were fair buying orders in the
commission houses in New York which
disposed the brokers generally to look for
higher prices during the day. Another
contingent however, rather expected to
see the reaction after the fine advance Of
the past two weeks. The opening was a
triie OF in the railroad stocks and during
the day these securities continued on a
downward course with very little rally
1t is to be said. however. that the declines
were not large, or OF such a nature that
the street was inclined TO be frightened
by them. The industrial securities were
at first taken up handsomely and for a
time It looked as If they were 10 be the
leaders OF the market in a continuance OF
the boom. Later they, too, succumbed TO
the general desire to realize profits and
were forced TO about the opening prices
IN most cases. The street was, of course,
somewhat divided at the end OF the season
as to whether the bull market is over or
the recessions of yesterday were only
temporary matter TO be followed today or
tomorrow by resumption OF the advance
The latter belief had the largest following
among conservative people who make the
same arguments that higher prices are
coming as they did two weeks ago The
news of the past week has certainly been
excellent in almost every particular and
the reasons why prices should advance are
all present now with as great force as they
were then. excepting only the one reason
that then there had been an advance of
from three to ten points. The railway
earnings statements have all been excel
lent and some Of them the finest on record
The expectation of gold has probably stop
ped. London is now buying American sc.
curities. The public is interested In the
market, which it was not before. In this
latter fact alone there is a very potent
argument why higher prices should be ex-
pected. The public is only beginning TO
nibble at securities after two weeks OF
advancing prices. Another week would
probably make Il enthusiastic, and on the
other hand another disappointment would
make IL even more coy OF future advances.
II the leaders of the market are putting
up prices TO sell stocks on they have not
yet gone far enough with their game TO
make IL worth while. Some slight further
decline may be witnessed this morning. but
later In the day prices will probably stiffen
again according to the ideas of usually
well-informed people.
