SOME ACTIVITY
 IN STOCK MARKET Proceedings Were Exceedingly Irregularand Confused. VIOLENT BREAK IN PRICES The Market Gave Evidence of Being oversold. and the Bears Began
 to Absorb Stocks to Cover
 Short Contracts

New York, June 25.-There was consid- erable speculative activity in the stock market and the fluctuations in prices were quite wide and frequent. The net changes are mostly small, so that the result of the days trading is not conclusive to the turn in prices. The market was exceedingly irregular all day, and at times very much confused.
 The opening depression in sympathy With London, where the Chinese outbreak had an unfavorable effect was generally over come. Prices then broke with some vio- lence, the bear attack being directed es- pecially against Baltimore and Ohio. Con tinued pressure was in evidence also against Brooklyn Transit. Baltimore and Ohio is one of those stocks which has been most advanced in price on predictions of a dividend disbursement, and whispers were current today that the declaration of the dividend would be at least deferred.
 The market gave evidence later of being oversod and the bears began to absorb stocks to cover their short contracts The result was a general recovery of the earlier losses; but there was nothing like demoralization among the bears, the cov- ering movement being conducted in a we'll ordered manner.
 The bond market was not active and price conditions were not irregular. Total sales, par value, $1, ,5S5,000. United States 3's and new 4s declined A in the bid price.

At the eley- enth hour of the session, rumor had it that it raining at Dallas, Tex, where of course rains would be welcomed. but the veracity of the report was questioned. A flash from Dallas denied that rain had fall en there, but said that it was cloudy and warm. The market having become so weak on the rumor that even the denial of the rumor could not stem the tide for the de- cline once started was hard to check with stop orders in hand to execute. Over our wires this evening we were informed that it raining at Greenville and Vcksburg, Miss, this is essentially a weather market and with bad and good weather we will have ups and downs.

SENSATIONAL DAY
 IN COTTON MARKET The Shorts Were Completely.
 Rounded Up. BEARS GOT IN THEIR WORK Under a Terrific Drive of Bulls to Un-
 load a Glut of Long Cotton Prices Took a Big Tumble
BEARS GOT IN THEIR WORK

New York, June 25.-Not since the failure of Price, Mccormick & Co. and Seymour. Johnson & Co. has the cotton market shown equal excitement and violent varia- tions as recorded today. In some respects it was anybody's market after an early bulge of some 30 points on the active op- tions. From opening to close the excite ment was kept at fever heat by conflicting sensational crop runors, with sentiment exceptionally muddled after the first wave of bull enthusiasm had receded. The open ing was strong and enormously active. with prices up 13d30 points Everybody had an abundant supply of buying orders, though southern and foreign shorts were conspicuous as leaders in this connection. The market derived much of it's early bull impetus from surprisingly strong Liverpool cables, numerous crop disaster reports and predictions that the statistical situation would shortly become the leading in fuence. The prices of the first hour were subsequently, proved to be the highest of the day, with the low point reached short ly after the noon call when the failure of Dennis, Perkins & Go. caused a temporary panic amid less reliant holders. Selling the down turn was terrific, with some of the leading supporters of the market open ly declaring for the bear side under the belief that the bull movement had been excessive and not altogether warranted, that the short interest had been complete ly wiped out and unwieldy long ac- count established The extent of this drop was considerably over 20 points, which the market failed to recover during the balance of the session. The change in sen- timent on the part of a portion of the bull following prompted bears to take less pessimistic view of the market with the result that covering dwindled away sharp ly with some of the more courageous bears later manifesting a disposition to prepare for a slump. Mixed late crop advices kept the crowd in turmoil throughout the last hour and the market experienced alter native periods of strength and weakness as buyers and sellers gained control, though finally succumbing to enormous liquidation.
 Allowances were made for an unfavora- ble weekly crop and weather review from Washington tomorrow, and a serious de- crease in the crop conditions was reckoned in the July government report. The closest attention was given to weather changes and predictions south, though these were to some extent confusing. The market closed higher.

THE STOCK MARKET.
At First Shows Strength but Later
 Yields tho Gains Made.

New York, Aug. 6-The early dealings ] in the stock market showed a survival
 of last weeks strength but later the | market yielded whatever gains had
 been established The early movement
 was especially notable in the Pacifics, Northern Pacific takin gthe leadership
 on the theory that it's price was not commensurate with the level of Union l Pacific and Missouri Pacific. Reading | 1st pfd. was taken in quite large amounts on the supposition that the dividend rate would be increased at to- days meeting The stock fell back 1 1-2 when the declaration of the same
 rate of dividend as the last was an- Inounced. Sugar weakened on the re-
 port of the shading of several grades of soft sugar. The more cheerful feel
 ing regarding the iron and steel stocks lifted prices in that group. Colorado Fuel was conspicuous. The preferred stock was bid up from 120 to 125, at which price 100 shares changed hands.
 The bid price was then further advanc- ed to 127 1-2, without bringing out stock. The steel group weakened later in the day. The circums tantial accounts from Pittsburg of extensions by the Carnegie company looking to competition with some of the new combinations affected the group especially Federal Steel and Steel and Wire Preparations for ex- ports of gold on Wednesday were re- ported, thought no definite announce ment was made of engagements. Ster- ling exchange rose an additional frac- tion, but still falls short a shade of what has been regarded as the export point to London. There is a large de- mand for the new British bonds here, as matter of course, in view of the fact that American railroad bonds of high grade are finding their way home by every steamer, and foreign railroads and industrial securities are not in favor with American capital, owing to the de- clining tendency of earnings abroad. Opinion here as to the effect of Ameri- can subscriptions to the British bonds has crystalized into conviction that no severe strain need result. But the feas- ibility of any large speculative move- n1ent in view of the coming demands on the money market Is much doubted. The bond market continued at a very low ebb of activity, and the movement of prices was slight. Total sales par value, $740,000.
