STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 27.--Prices failed to
hold in today's stock market and after
an early period of advance turned gem
orally downwards until the average level
had fallen to below that of last night.
There was some irregularity in the move
ment as amongst the Industrials and
Railroads. but the tone of the market
during the latter part of the day was
undeniably heavy. The irregularity con-
sisted in the better resistance to the
depression offered by some stocks. This
was true of the Steel stocks and of the
Coalers, the latter being affected by a
good showing of earnings for May by the
Erie and the Reading companies by an
nouncement of an advance in the price of
coal by the Reading Company and by
reports that other companies would fol-
low suit. Some of the soft coal roads
were also strong on the good conditions
in that trade. But the whole list gravi-
tated downwards quite heavily. The buy
ing demand which was in evidence yes
terday and the day before, and from
which much had been hoped in rallying
,rices. showed increasing indifference
and lasstude to the higher level at
tanned. The course OF the market was
striking testimony of the dominance
of the crop prospects as an influence on
prices.
London and the European Bourses were
all higher on the reports published abroad
OF the rescue of the foreign legations by
Admiral Seymour's force at Pekin, and

pathy. But this and the growing need

COTTON CLOSED / TO II POINTS UP
The Sensational Reports From China and GOOD
Crop Dispatches From Texas Had
Tendency to Check Bull En-
ihusiasm Here.


New York. June 27.-The market for
all descriptions of cotton goods continues
very quiet. The advance in raw cotton
is not stimulating buyers, but makes
some sellers more careful. No business
reported in print cloths at yesterdays
reduction. Mems wear woolens and
worsteds slow and irregular. Dress goods
dull and generally in favor of buyers.
COTTON.
New York June 27.-Options in today s
cotton market were at SKIES and sevens
with speculation on the whole on a small
er scale than since the present bull move
ment set in. The average of news was
strongly bullish, but the best minds
in the trade expressed the fear that
shorts had fully covered up their tracks
and left an enormous long interest to be
unloaded. The cloudburst news from the
Mississippi Valley last night to Liverpool
sent European bears into n spasm OF
fright and started an irresistible wave
of bull speculation this morning on which
futures advanced some 61a to points,
with scarcely a check. Spinners became
alarmed and purchased fully $4,000 bales
spot at materially higher prices, Ameri-
can middling in that market having ad-
vanced to 7-16d Thus, when our mark
ct opened Liverpool was far above a
parity with prices here. The more en-
thusiastic bulls flooded the pit with crop
calamity dispatches, laying particular
stress upon yesterdays 12-inch rainfall
in Mobile. But as there were no shorts
to speak of to be stampeded, and as the
outside public seemed afraid to accumu-
late additional lines of long stuff under
the circumstances, our response to the
English bulge was but six to nine points.
Meagre offerings and foreign demand in
creased the rise Immediately after the
call TO the matter of eight to eleven
points. but later the market slid off quite
rapidly under sales for profits by COM
mission houses and room holders. While
not positively bearish, sentiment in the
pit was stubbornly opposed to further
advance for the present, and selling be-
came very active on all the steadier in
tervals following a forecast for generally
clear weather over that portion OF the
belt which has suffered SO much of late
from excessive rains. The extremely
sensational tenor of China reports natur-
ally checked ball enthusiasm as did the
appearance of several crop dispatches
from Texas. The summer months devel-
oped surprising strength in the early
afternoon and continued firm during the
late session on support from the South,
mainly spot cotton interests, and singu
lar absence of sellers. The later aeliv-
cries responded indifferently to the firm
ness in July and August and much of the
time were neglected.
