STOCK MARKET
 CLOSED VERY DULL Expected Rally at End of Week
 Was Missing. FOREIGN MARKED I DEPRESSED Wall Street is Rather Skeptical About Reports of Crop Failures at This
 Stage Weakness Not
 Clearly Understood
FOREIGN MARKET DEPRESSED

New York, June 9.-Those who expected that the bears who sold stocks short in large volume during the final dealings yes- terday would scamper to cover their shorts today and work sharp rally to close the week were disappointed.
 The depressed condition of foreign stock markets continued today in spite of the rather more assuring opinions for a peace ful outcome of affairs in China, so far as tints of European powers are concerned Selling for London account was on lib- eral scale here. Rumors are disseminated to the effect that this foreign selling is really for account of some large New York operators at present in Europe and who have long been prominent on the bear side of the market. The fact is that yesterdays sudden weakness of stocks is not clearly understood as to it's motives, or its course, and current rumors represent the surmises of those groping for light more than any authentic knowledge.
 Wall street is, in reality, rather scepti- cal about reports of crop failure at this stage. Neither is the foreign selling in sufficient volume to account for the weak ness. The news of the day, while inclin- ing towards depression, is Of about the same character as for some time past, while the market has been sluggishly indif- ferent. Spectators are therefore inclined to fear that some unfavorable factor not yet known to the public is inducing Hquida- tion. The money market outlook, beyond the immediate future is not altogether sat isfactory. The weeks additional loan eX- pansion of $6, 6,4S3, 900 must clearly be att trlLuted to renewed foreign demands upon our credits. Estimates of the future ease of the local money market have been pre- dicted upon cessation of this foreign de- mand. The acuteness of the stress for funds in Berlin seem to be the cause of the new demand.
 The cut in iron prices announced here had little direct effect on the securities market, as it has been discounted and is believed to be a step toward attracting buying to meet the well known consump- tive requirements. No one expects buying orders will be placed to meet this recuire- ment until it is demonstrated that the re- cession in prices has been ended For this reason a plan has found advocates in the iron trade of sharp general cut in the prices to we'll below the price of produc- tion in order to effectually check produc- tion and work off accumulation.
 The bond market has been dull, but prices have been remarkably steady.

 COTTON FUTURES TOOK A BIG JUMP
Opened Advancing and Kept Up
 the Movement.
MANY RUMORS ARE CURRENT
Report That Boston and Philadelphia Concerns Who Were Long and Had Determined to Unload
 Caused Decided Furry

New York, June 9.-The market for cot ton futures opened steady with prices s points higher on July and to points higher on later months, due to rush of local shorts for cover and furry of buy ing for foreign interests.
 Following the call the July and August options absorbed the bulk of attention and exhibited singular strength. The former reached S.7O within the first half hour, this being 21 points above last nights closing.
 Rumors were soon in circulation to the effect that prominent Boston and Philadel- phia concerns long on that option had de- termined to unload their holdings upon be- lated shorts here after prices had been forced to much higher level. August shorts immediately took fright, fearing a possible extension of the bull movement to that delivery and in an effort to reach safer ground, forced prices up rapidly. Strength did not originate in New Orleans as at first supposed, was clearly indicated by an indifferent response in that market to our advance here.
 The new crop options followed the present crop month uplift lesurely and were rela- lively quieter. The crop news was decided ly better from the southwest and weather conditions over the entire belt showed marked improvement. The holiday in Liv- erpool and uncertainty as to the purport of Mondays bureau showing served to in- innate the outside public in a measure and very little business came from that source during the short session.

voters, which meant the defeat of
the Democratic party in Kentucky.
Northern Democratic Negroes, in
Guiding the good Bishop Turner,
should have the immortal William
Jennings Bryan" denounce such a
political outrage from the stump in
New York and other states through
out the North while campaigning,
and thereby prove his loyalty to the
Negroes of this country. No, Mr..
Bryan will not do so, and if he should
do 50 Kentucky and other Southern
states would vote for the devil HIM
self rather than he Bryan is a pub
nc coward and a political trimmer,
and has but one object in this
world, and that is to be president
OF the United States, and that, too,
regardless of the fact that he knows
that he would make an ass Of him
self should he ever reach the goal of
his ambition.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1900-10-19

The Negro is not fit person to
vote in the South, so say the follow
ers and supporters of Mr.. Bryan, but
IN the North he is being fondled and
courted in every town and hamlet
by the Democrats to get him to vote
for the party that is not only willing
to disfranchise, but who stands ready
to abrogate the citizenship of the
Negro throughout the United States
from Maine to Mexico and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, if they only
get an opportunity. Bourke Cock
ran, one of the great Democratic
leaders Of this country, and who is
handling the Bryan campaign with
much efficiency at this time, went
down to Alabama a few days ago and
publicly declared that the Four
teen and Fifteenth amendments to
the constitution should be repealed.
He was scored by the Northern press
for the statement, but he has not
modified his public utterances a sin
gle bit since that time, and yet that
self-same BOurke Cochran is now
moving heaven and earth to capture
the Negro vote of the North, the
very vote that he declared should be
wiped out of existence all over the
United States, to land his tinhorn
candidate into the presidential chair.
