COTTON.

The cotton market closed unchanged to-
day. There was very little of local inter
est to attract the attention of the trade
The rise in futures was of a sensational
character, the market advancing during
the early hours from IS to IS points. This
was due largely to the improved Liverpool,
which showed an advance, and the bulish
crop report sent across the water by
Neill.
The following were the official spot quo
tations at the close OF the market at

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 9.--Not much impress
sion was produced on the Stock Exchange
today by events, and the professional
contingent which conducted practically
all the transactions fell again to very
small proportions. The larger volume of
dealings and the important opera
tors which characterized last weeks
market were not in evidence today. The
failure of last weeks attempt to attract
outside interest in the market by bidding
up prices seems to have been satisfac-
tory demonstration to that element that
the period is not ripe for active specula-
tion. Nevertheless the price movements
of the day were quiet, owing to the small
floating supply of stock The undertone
of the market, too, was Enthusiastically firm

point of activity, had very slight effect
on the general list, although a few large
gains in special stocks were welded
in sympathy with it. Brooklyn Rapid
Transit at the low point was 59s below
the high point. The stocks showed very
feeble resistance to the decline and no
recuperative power, the bears apparently
ruling the course of the stock as they
choose. There was no news to explain
the decline but rumors were prevalent
of poor showing of earnings to be made
in the forthcoming report The locai
traction stocks were also under pressure,
Metropolitan selling at one time four
points under Saturday, but rallying three
Illinois Central rose at one time 3A and
the dealings in the stock were quite

New York, July 9.-With cable ac-
counts of bulish support the cotton mar
ket here easily developed considerable
firmness without showing much activity.
Indeed the bulk of the trading was for
the purpose of evening up all accounts
rather than starting new ones. Public
speculation was of a hesitating charac-
ter throughout the session. The market
opened steady at unchanged prices to an
advance of eight points. subsequently
this increased the advance to three to
thirteen points with the Improvement
chiefly on the old positions. Upon any
exhibition of weakness the new crop
months were prompt to sell off, advices
from the cotton belt being of favorable
average The local trade, as a class. was
disposed to cover in recognition OF the
bullish possibilities of tomorrows Gov
eminent report as a factor upon the
English trade while not forgetting that
the report will deal with conditions
prior to July 1st, with private and pub
lie accounts since then generally bearish.
The volume of todays business was OF
midsummer proportions. From the
strongest interval of the session, prices
gave way BOIL points under realization,
but there was no display of bear conf
dence at any time.
The market closed barely steady to
~ points higher on near, and 306 points
lower on far months.
