Monday by sending in prices to points higher than the close of last Friday, with spots 3-32d up, the English market failed to maintain the advance to the close, the net improvement for the day being only 1R to 2-64th. Favored by the early advance abroad first prices here were made on the basis of last nights closing, improved point or two more by July selling at S.63 and December at 7.42. The conditions of southern weather being somewhat im- proved today, and good weather through out Texas for tomorrow was all favorable to the market and had it's effect upon the prices. Another feature that depressed values today was the tenor of the weekly bureau crop report, it stating that outside of Texas general improvement in the con dition of the plant had taken place during the past seven days, the prospects for early crop are not good. We closed with all of the advance of yesterday lost with the exception of July, the strong month of the list, and on new crops points under Saturdays closing. Spots remained steady and unchanged How Liverpool will digest the bureau remains to be seen.

STOCK MARKET
 WAS STRONGER But Pressure to Sell at Advance
 Proved Too Much. DEMAND WAS VERY LIMITED Turing Latter Part of the Day Desul- tcry Downward Movement Set in and Carried Prices Below
 Last Nights Level
DEMAND WAS VERY LIMITED

New York June 5.-The stock market showed symptoms of strength at various times today, but the pressure to sell at the advance proved too much for the limited demand absorbed, and the latter part of the day was given over to a desultory down. ward movement, which carried prices be- low last nights level except for a few stocks.
 The strength of a few shares was in fact the principal sustaining influences of the market at all times. The best support of this character came from Atchison pre- ferred, which began to move upward early in the day in anticipation of the dividend was announced. The declaration of 2k per cent for semi-annual period had been &C., curately forecasted, and the advance in the stock came to standstill when the dividend was announced. After hanging sluggshly the advance was resumed on the giving out of the directors estimate of the net earnings for the fiscal year, show ing handsome surplus over the full 5 per cent dividend requirement. for the pre- ferred stock.

COTTON MARKET I'M
 WAS VERY WEAK Though Bear Speculation Was
 Not Prominent. LITTLE EXCITEMENT SHOWN Southern Spot Markets Were Seen to be Weak While Weather Outlook
 Was More Promising Than
 for Some Time
LITTLE EXCITEMENT SHOWN

New York; June 5.-Not since the failure two weeks ago has the cotton market shown weakness equal to that exhibited to- day. But while prices dropped off almost perpendicularly, there was not the first symptom of any excitement, nor was bear speculation at any time prominent The de- pression resulted largely from liquidation of several important accounts, chiefly Tn the August delivery, which option dis played relative weakness throughout the session.
 Opening events favored the bull crowd, and on a furry of general buying prices went up five to ten points. This support grew out of a better class of English news than was expected, and reported that rains had again fallen over a greater portion of the belt.
 The firmness was short t-lived, however, as Liverpool rapidly lost its opening im- provements, as foreign orders changed over to the bear side as local demand was supplanted by selling pressure. slight net decline had been recorded before the close of the first hour by noon the loss had in creased to a matter of to points, while at the weakest interval of the afternoon a net decline of 13G17 points was indicated.
 Southern spot markets were seen to be weak while the weather outlook was more promising than in some days
 The market was finally steady in tone, but 11Q1S points net lower.
