New York COTTON Market.
COTTON PRICES LOWER.
Fine Weather increases the General
Beurishness of Feeling.

lReceived daily by C. T. Havenner banker and
broker, Van Doren Building, 1881 Street north
west; New York correspondents Purnell, Haga-
man & Cod -rr-'1f - tFse'trt
New York, June 20-It seems certain to
the majority of traders that present oondi-
tions in the cotton market must result in
a lower level of prices. Weather has been
as if made to order for some days, and
Southern correspondents do not attempt
to disguise the fact that there is every
prospect of magnificent crop according
to developments, so far. Bolls, squares,
and other evidences of flourishing condi-
tion are multiplying daily, and it will
require protracted period of unseason-
able weather to give the crop setback.
Liverpool is displaying little interest, and
the bull party will most likely relax their
grip before long until the trade in general
will be found arrayed almost unanimously
on the other side. AS anticipated, the
early market witnessed lower prices by
2 to points in response to poor cables
and fine weather accounts. Temperature
and conditions over the entire south were
such as to remove every inducement for
holders to longer expect favorable turn
in the market. and liquidation was the
general rule, being sufficiently free to
give the market some evidence of anima-
tion. Selling was pretty general, and
TO ; points decline was shown when Liver
pool appeared as a buyer on pretty ex-
tensive scale for covering purposes. Gables
were one point lower for futures, spots
unchanged and sales 10000.

mary of Crop Report.

mnry of Crop Report.
The report OF the Weather Bureau for
the week ending June 10 shows that the
temperature averaged slightly farmer than
usual over portions of the Lake region,
and on the east Gulf Coast, the average
daily temperature excess being generally
less than 4 degrees. The week was de-
cidedly warm over the western portion
OF the Plateau region and in Washing
ton, Oregon, and California, except on
the immediate coast, where some stations
show a slight deficiency the average daily
excess ranging from to Il degrees over
the interior of California and in eastern
Oregon.
The 18th and 18th were marked by un
usual temperature extremes the maximum
temperatures on those dates over the CEN
tral Rocky Mountain region equaling or
exceeding the maximum record of former
years for the second decade OF June, while
the minimum temperatures at number
OF stations in the upper Ohio Valley and
South Atlantic States were the lowest yet
recorded in the second decade of June. In
Arizona and over the interior of California
maximum temperatures ranging from 100
to 1l2 degrees occurred. Freezing temper
ature occurred in western Wyoming, the
minimum reading of 80 degrees being re-
ported from Lander. Over the northern
districts from the north Pacific coast to
eastern Maine the minimum temperatures
ranged from 40 to 90 degrees; over the
central valleys and Atlantic Coast States
from 80 to 60 degrees; and in the Gulf
States from so TO "a degrees.
The summary of crop conditions shows
that while heavy rains have delayed culti-
walton and caused damage to crops in por
tions of the Mississippi and Missouri val
leys, and drought continues over portions
OF New England. the Middle Atlantic
States, Tennessee, and the central and
southern Rocky Mountain region, the week

Worms in the Carolinas and grasshoppers

injury to the tobacco crop, and the acreage

In other tobacco States the outlook is
promising. Some has been cut in Florida.

hay crop is almost a failure, but in the

Continental Tobacco was also very weak
yesterday morning and in this case ap-
parently there is more foundation for the
weakness. There have been rumors for
many days that this company was not
such a glittering monopoly as had been
pictured when 1t was launched on the pub
lie. These stories are gradually taking
shape in the assertion that the concern is
running behind instead of making fabu-
lous earnings, that opposition is develop
ing in strong places, and that in fact. the
entire history of the company from its
inception has been a great confidence game
to get people to pay good money for
well nigh worthless article. The common
stock has been declining gradually for sew
eral days and yesterday it tumbled to SO
and a fraction at the opening. Covering

Chicago, June 2O.-wheat closed about

A holder of twenty-five shares of Federal
Steel preferred has brought suit and OBJ
tanned temporary Injunction forbidding
the company to pay the dividend recently
declared on the common stock. The char
ter Of the company contains the following
clause on which the suit is based: IF.
after providing for the full dividend for
any fiscal year on the preferred stock,
there shall remain any surplus net profits
of such year the common stock shall then
be entitled TO a dividend not exceeding
such surplus net profits" The suit is
thus based, apparently, on good founda-
tion, inasmuch as the company has not
yet made any statement to its preferred
stockholders of the business done or the
profits earned. 1t would seem that the
suit may at least compel the company to
disclose the condition of its affairs TO the
extent of proving that the preferred divi-
dend has been earned for the year al
ready and set aside. This would be an
excellent bull card for the common stock.
There was good buying of the stock yes
terday on the decline and before the end
of the day two points of the three lost at
the opening had been regained. II seems
probable that in the course of the next
few days there Will be a good advance
in the price of the stock.
The object of the entire game was OF
course, to break the market. For two
weeks now the bears have been attempting
to do this with all their skill. The bears
failed again yesterday as they have done
before. Prices at the close were higher

The Flower stocks were the features

toned as one of the few stocks that de-
clined during the session. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit and Peoples Gas were the most
buoyant securities on the list under heavy

side buying as we'll. Brooklyn opened at
115 1-2 and went as high as III ga The

to 11S at the opening. and then advanced
nearly two points to 119 rs. The close

The action of the entire granger group

intended to depress the market many
points, and of character that would have
been successful in any ordinary market

practically at the level of six days before.

made and in the face of the depressing
stories that they told and. the frantic

A Capsule VIII be Sufficient to Light

Limitless Power.

The discovery of new chemical
compound has just been announced that
if the sanguine statements of its dis
covers prove to be true will revolutions
ize the electrical world. The new COM
pound, which is made of the cheapest
kinds of chemicals, is to be put up in
capsule form, and when added to a GER
tain quantity of water will furnish
electricity enough to light house, drive
an automobile or a railroad train. The
capsules will be made so as to contain
from grains to IL ounces of the COM
pound. 1t is claimed that one of the
smallest tabules will furnish a 16 can
dle-power incandescent light. In the
propulsion of automobiles the new in
Vention is expected to be of great praC-
teal value. At present the heavy bat
terry carried by the horseless carriages
makes them useless for many purposes.
The power is also exhausted after a
continuous run of four hours, and it
must then be renewed. But by the new
system it will only be necessary to drop
capsules into the battery. which will
be of light construction. and the car
riage can be run at full speed as long
as the supply of capsules holds out

it is expected, be of enormous CONNER
Cial value
The secretary of the company which
is placing the capsules on the market

sibilities of the new discovery were linn

ii is already commercial success. We
will be able to furnish light at less than
one-tifth of a mill per lamp per hour
for each 16-candle incandescent globe.
This is far cheaper than light by the
use of coal oil. The company will sell
power for about ten cents an hour for
l full horsepower. The capsules can
be carried to the end of the world and
retain their latent stock of electricity
unimpaired. An important feature of
the invention is that no copper will be
