New York Cotton Futures.
NEW YORK, June 13.-Quotations for cotton futures today were as follows:
 ODen- Hish- Low Clos.
New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS. June 13.-The market for spot cotton was very quiet today. Off, ferings were not as large or well assorted as they have been and buyers and sellers are again at variance as to the proper lever of values. The former are inc fined to hold off as the result of the latest drop Tn prices at Liverpool, while factors are standing for full figures and generally refuse to treat with the purchasing ee- ments except upon that basis. Sales, 1,9O, including 600 to arrive. Quotations un- changed.
 A very liberal amount of trading marked the course of the market for con tracts, though goodly share of the movement represented floor work made attractive by rapid and fairly wide fuc- tuations in values. Liverpool came in this morning with lower prices and this market showed a first call loss of 4Q9 points all along the line. After the open ing the market became cratic to a de- gree and prices fluctuated rapidly over a range of 4QS points, but without any de- cided tendency in either direction and at the close June and July showed a loss of 5 points each; August, 6. and the balance of the list 2a3 points compared with last nights closing

MARKET FOR FUTURES
HEAVY SELLING FORCES PRICES
 DOWN.
Nervous Longs and the Foreign Element Led in the Movement.
 At the Close Changes Were Mixed.

NEW YORK. June 13-Most of the ad- vance made in cotton futures here yesterday was lost this morning under heavy selling movement led by nervous longs ard the foreign element. While there was some reaction later the mar ket was disposed to be less active and was sensitive to selling orders from any quarter. On the first call near months eased off 699 points and far months were 5 points lower to 1 higher. There was rally of 344 points immediately follow Ing the call, but later in the morn1ng fresh liquidation and bear selling was brought about by a bad break in the Liverpool market. Noon found our mar ket tr.fie steadier but very. quiet and still PCT points below yesterday. Bears were held in check by very bad weather reports and less favorable crop advices. Shorts turned for cover in the last hour under fears of a possible bullish con struction by Liverpool tomorrow of the weather reports. There were few sellers in evidence and prices rallied near.y to last nights final bids.
 The market was finally steady with prices net l higher to points lower.

London Financial Cableeram.

NEW YORK. June 1s-The Commer- cial-Advertisers London financial cable gram says: The reduction of the bank rate today from 3K to per cent. caused general surprise for, although the in- creasing ease in money foreshadowed the possibility of such action, 1t was not gen orally expected that reduction would be actually made today. The stock mar ket view of the matter is that the bank directors have anticipated an early peace in the Boer war. But the satisfactory condition both of the bank and the stock market affords ample explanation of to- days action.

Chicago Grain and Provision

CHICAGO. June 1S.-Thes wheat market was helped just when it most needed it today by reports of crop damage by fly in Illinois and Kansas. and by the large number of loads taken for export, and the July delivery. Closed steady and hc up: July corn closed ss91A lower, July changed to 10c under yesterdays final price. The volume of trade wa5 not large.
 With Liverpool cables reflecting the con continuation of favorable weather to- days wheat market invited a. decline. July opened shade to 1A@1$ lower at 7OA@70ls with liberal offerings and slight demand except of the professional class. Under a continuation of liquidation the price declined to 69%, the lowest of the day. and then came reaction based on reports of damage by fly and New York reports of continuance of the continen- tai demand. July rallied to 71@11s, at which 1t closed steady and higher, and closed steady and &suh up at 69}3@ 693s. Seventy-six loads were reported taken for export; seaboard clearances of wheat and flour were equal to !29OO bushels, against 6OS,o0O bushels year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 3SO cars, against 311 last week and 4SS year ago. Local receipts were S6 cars, 4 Of contract grade.
 Advices that unexpectedly favorable conditions existed in the corn belt and the selling of nearly 1000 00o bushels by the bull leader caused an early weakness in the corn pit. The only bullish feature consisted of moderate receipts and the small proportion of contract corn they contained For awhile t was apparent that the holders of long lines were anX- ious to sell without regard to prices, though later there was considerable buy ing back at slight improved prices on To- cal cash demand The voli:me of trade was moderate. July corn sold between 4llg and 42ss and closed fairly steady a1d s,GiIAc lower at H7sd42. P ghtv-three loads were taken for export. Loca! re- ceipts were 2S3 cars IS of contract grade

Thousand People on the Ground
Ready for the Lot Safe.
FORT SILL. o. T., August "A
town of ten thousand people to be
known as Lawton, has grown up just
outside the Fort limits almost within
a night.
Following the close of the land lot
terry at Ell Reno thousands of home
seekers who drew blanks started for
the three points picked out by the fed
eral government for town sites In tho
new country, namely, Anadarko, Ho-
bart and Lawton. A majority of the
people favored Lawton, which Is TWEEN
ty-five miles inland, and tonight thou
sands are camped in and about the pro-
posed town site awaiting the sale or
lots on August 6.
Already Lawton has 400 temporary
business houses, including grocery
firm and newspaper, and three streets
have been laid out. A national bank
has been projected. Every form of
gambling known on the frontier is be-
ing run wide open, side by side with
fake shows of various descriptions. To
add to the plcturesqueness of the
scene, a thousand Comanche Indians
have pitched their tents nearby.
