7STAGNATION IN
 STOCK EXCHANGE Tone Was Firm Compared With
 Previous Day. BIG DEMAND FROM SHORTS turing the Entire Lack of Animation the Professional Traders Are Disin- clined to Further Commit
 ments on the Short Side
BIG DEMAND FROM SHORTS

New York, June 7.-Absolutely stagnation characterized the stock market today. By comparison with yesterday the tone was firm, but that was only because the bears somewhat over-extended their commit ments on the short side yesterday It was evident that the latest selling yesterday was based upon the expectation that selling by London this morning would offer an opportunity to get back stocks at lower level London did in fact, sustain stocks here on a moderate scale, but the demand from the shorts was sufficient to overcome the decline and to make some show of strength in the market.
 In sugar there was a demand from an un- easy short interest which had been over extended during the decline of the last few days, and the stock gained over a point net. The loaning rates on stocks dis closed the existence of quite large out standing short interest, well distributed through the list. In the entire lack of anil nation in speculative spirit, the profes- sional traders are disinclined to further commitments on the short side.
 There was no further evidence today of the selling through commission houses,
 
 tert,ay The incidents of the day, taken in themselves, indicated declining values for securities, but these incidents had been an ticipated, and therefore the movement of prices was discounted. Much alarm is shown over the western wheat crop pros pect The complications in China had some effect here. The selling of stocks in Lon don was sufficient to cause cable transfers on London.
 The bank of England returns show only f6OO,000 in loans repaid to the bank in spite of the disbursements of government depos- its to the amount of over 000 and a prevailing private rate of discount well be- low the bank rate. As the bank is still losing gold for export, the government re- trained from reducing the rate of discount The Bank of France has resumed it's pol icy of both note and loan contraction which was interrupted last week. and in spite of a gain in gold of $2,720, 900, it has de- creased its note circulation over $25, 01O, and contracted it's outstanding loans over $4S,000,000 In Berlin there were forced sales of mining shares, and a reflection of the same policy of retrenchment

Cotton Letter

(Fairchild & Hobson's Cotton Letter to IT.
 b Cothran & Co)
 New Orleans, June 7-After opening up 2 points, Liverpool was influenced uniaNor- ably by figures of the New York Chron- icle, it placing the increase in acreage de- voted to cotton this year at 9.76 per cent, or a total of 24625,94 acres, which is about the same the government figures, 24,967,- 295 of the banner season. 1S9S-99. liverpool finally closed unchanged from last night on futures, but spots advanced 1-32d on sales of 1000 bales. New Orleans opened un- changed near positions, and about down on distant deliveries.
 For the first time in many days Texas was without rain though showers fell in the central and eastern portions of the belt While rain is not wanted in the heart of the belt, still at the same time it having visited the eastern section, where moisture is needed will undoubtedly do much good for that district. As a result of more fla vorable weather conditions today, and pros poets for more sunshine in the near future, prices here weakened, values losing to points from the opening level. Towards the last hour, a reaction set in by shorts GOV ering their summer possessions, which un- easiness was shown in advance of 1-16 in spot cotton. For comparison sake we here with give the bureau June and September condition for the past four years:
 June condition, 1899, S5.7; 1898, S9; 1897, 3.5; 1896, 97.2.
 September condition, 1899, 6s.5; 1898, 9s; 1S97 7S.3; 1896, 64.2.
 Crop, 1s9s Il, ,274,S4O 1896. S,757,964.
 The material drop in condition between June and September in the seasons of 1S96 and the present one shows how favorable weather at this period is essential to the raising of a large crop.

CONSIDERABLE LIQUIDATION

New York, June 1.-The feature of to- days news in the cotton market was the Chronicles acreage estimate, and as the figures given exceeded expectation, a de- cline in prices naturally resulted. While fluctuations during the day were of fair scope, the net change was not particularly gratifying to either side.
 The market opened steady but almost im- mediately turned weak in respone to a sharp break in Liverpool, and under an es- timate for an increase of 9.76 per cent in this years acreage, to 24,625,944 acres On this downturn considerable liquidation oc- cured, both for foreign and domestic ac- counts, while shorts increased obligations under the firm conviction that the situation warranted decline to below cents for August. But while in the midst of their jubilation bears were confronted with d sudden reaction in Liverpool, and brisk demand from influential outside parties here.
 Prices quickly returned to last night level on this support and scored a slight gain before breathing spell was taken. But the Liverpool final cables in hand, room traders subsequently, assumed the de- fensive, and gave attention to the settie- ment of unprotected accounts mat ter of precaution owing to holiday in Liv erpool tomorrow and Saturday. and to an unusual divergence of opinion concerning the probable outcome of Mondays bureau report, the first of the season. Moreover, very little news came to hand in the after roon and orders were also few and far be- tween, leaving the talent in control, but puTposeless.
 The market was finally steady points, higher to points net lower. !
