ACUTE WEAKNESS
 IN STOCK MARKET This Was a Great Surprise to Professional Traders, WHO HAD EXPECTED RALLY Steel Stocks Rallied from Depression at the Opening and Were Bought
 on More Cheerful Views
 of Iron Outlook

New York, June 22.-The stock market developed acute weakness before the close today, offering a surprise to professional traders, who came down to Wall street this morning under the impression that the market had been oversold and was due for a rally.
 This conviction was strengthened by the early course of the market which opened higher in sympathy with London, where there was a better feeling on account of the lack of the confirmation of reports of the conditions in China. The buying of Reading stocks and of New Jersey Central, which made such an impression on senti- ment yesterday. was still in evidence, and during the course of the first hour some of the railroads had advanced as much as to 11a points above last night.
 The steel stocks rallied from an opening depression and were bought on the more cheerful views of the outlook for the iron market and the local traction stocks ral- lied on covering of short contracts.
 The final rally in prices was fitful and feverish and the market closed much un- settled and not much above the low level The banks were reported to be calling loans to a considerable extent, presumably in preparation for the payment into the sub treasury on Monday of the government de- posts, which have been called to the ex- tent of $5,O0O,00O.
 The estimate of the weeks cash changes indicate gain by the banks of considera- ply over million. The payments which the banks had to make the sub-treasury for the gold bars exported were practically offset by the payments of that institution 10 the market The currency movement with the interior has continued largely in favor of New York.
 Todays bond market was dull and the movement of prices was irregular. Total sales par value, N,1S0000. United States bonds were unchanged in bid quotations.

Cotton Letter


Fairchild & Hobsons Cotton Letter to
 H. D. Cothran x Co.
 New Orleans La, June 22.-The statistf- cal position of cotton, now that prospects for an early movement are are very poor, is once more attracting attention, private cables from the English market attributing the advance there today to the considera- ton given the small visible supply of American cotton. 1,390,1 12S against 2,293,611 last year and ,032 in 1898, which, owing to the hope of an early repenishing was lost sight of. In lieu of a decline, Liver pool sent us an advance of points on summer months, 1 to 3 points on fall months and unchanged to 11s on winter, which were accompanied by a gain in spots of 1-16d, with sales of 5000 bales.
 Press and private advices from Misssis- sippi and Alabama gave doleful tales of the condition of the growing crops in their re- spective States. To add to the already alarming situation, the weather map showed unsettled conditions with heavy rains again in Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia later in the day, with predictions for showery weather tonight and Satur- day for Mississippi and Louisiana. Aside from this, came good many reports of the Kansas crop, making thereby every cotton State a sufferer from too much rain. While it is true that cotton can thrive better in a wet season than in one of a drouth, still these conditions will not sat isfy the world at large, as a duplicate of the largest crop ever raised will have to be promised to prevent probably higher prices for the growing crop than those furnished by the season now drawing to a close.
 August here opened at an advance of Il points SGD, sold down to S.59, advanced to SIS, losing about 4 points a tthe close on realizing. October opened 9 points up and ranged from 7.75 to 7.96. Spots closed quiet 1-16c up; sales, 1,400; f. o. b.. 800; mid ding, GA At Galveston, New York and Philadelphia, 1sc up

RED LETTER DAY FOR BULL CROWD The Cotton Market Kept Up a
 Steady Advance. SHORTS WERE STAMPEDED And This With Influx of Outside Buy ing Orders Sent Prices Up
 With Rush After the
 Opening
SHORTS WERE STAMPEDE[

New York, June 22.-It was a red letter day for the bull crowd on the Cotton Ex- change Nearly all news favored higher prices, and specula ton from the outside public all went to the bull side. With con- siderable of a furry the market opened firm at an advance of to Il points, which figures proved to be about the lowest of the session. A stampede of shorts and an influx of outside buying orders sent prices up with a rush after the opening to S.65 for August and Sc for January. On the ad- vance, Southern houses and local brokers with European connections were prompt ly identified as buyers of the summer months.
 Values tapered off toward midday under a dash for profits by the more apprehen- sive bulls, but in the early afternoon an- other wave of general buying swept through the market and carried everything before it. August shot up to SS0 October to S.25 and January to S.10, with the bear crowd frantic and enormous covering. Private dispatches stated that the New Dr. leans shorts were on the verge of a panic, owing to reports of crop disaster in the central belt and poor conditions in the oth CT part of the cotton country. A bullish
  tensely bulish feeling here. Speculation during the last hour was very heavy with the entire list dealt in freely. Prices swayed back and forth violently though in the main taking the upward course.
