 Birmingham, June 29.-New York open ed at five to ten points advance on ner- vous covering by shorts and buying by the investment public on better Liverpool cables than expected. the buIlish Chroni- Gle crop summary and the absence of any rainfall m the Southwest, the Galveston district getting absolutely nothing South ern spot markets were firm with the de- mand of al active characters while the mills reported considerable activity in clothing and yarns. The close was four teen to sixteen points advance on the new crop positions, while August was up twelve and July only four. The new crops were easily the favorites. Liver pool was up one to two points on futures and unchanged on spots on sales of 5000 bales.
 Following is the Chronicle crop sum- mary: Advices to us by telegraph from the South this evening denote that while rain has fallen in number of localities during the week, including some sections of the Southwest the precipitation has been light as a rule. Dry weather re- ported from portions of the Gulf states. Arkansas, Texas and Tennessee. From Mississippi there are complaints that rain is badly needed, and much injury to cot ton from drought Is claimed in Arkansas. Our correspondents in Alabama report some improvement in the crop but state that moisture is needed. South Carolina advices are to the effect that more cot ton fields will have to be abandoned.

Murphy G Co.'S Stock Letter.

New York, June 29.-This was one of the dullest days of the season in the Stock Exchange the intense heat causing many members and traders to seek relief and rest in the country or at the sea shore. From London a slightly higher range of prices was reported There was no important news developments over night The clearing up of the atmos- phere in banking circles was favorably regarded, and both commercial agencies reported continuation of healthy trade conditions The crop outlook. lately so excellent, is now even better; labor trou- bles are being satisfactorily adjusted. and retail trade is fiourishing. while money for business purposes apart from the stock market, continues easy. Railway earrings for the third week of June shows an increase of over 8 per cent as com pared with last year The stock market opened with an exhibition of moderate strength but soon became very dull. The light attendance and uncertainty regard ing the bank statement checked active speculation and the fiuctuation in prices were without significance. Illinois Gen. tral and Iowa Central advances almost ? per cent on revival of rumors regard ing the two properties.

 New York, June 29.-There was un- doubtedly more apprehension noticeable in the pit this morning than at any time since Tuesday when indications first point ed to rain in the Southwest This nerv- ousness was attributed to the Chronicle report which showed unfavorable condi- tions in Arkansas, Mississippi and other parts of the Southwest that have received very little attention from the trade owing to tho absorbing interest in Texas.
 At the same time reports from the dis- tricts where rains were previously indi- cated showed that the actual rainfall has been largely overestimated as was believ- ed here yesterday.

New York June 29.-The Commercial Advertisers London financial cablegram says:
 While there was not much business on the Stock Exchange here today the under tone was decidedly firm. There was good buying of American stocks on a small scale, the particular favorite being Atch- ison, Denver and Rio Grande, Erie, South ern Pacific and United States Steel. Con fidence apparently is quite restored. The Bank of England bought f100.000 of gold in bars in Egypt.
 Money continues to be tight at previous rates. It is understood that the market owes the bank fl 100000 so the disburse- ment of f6,000,0o0 in government dividends next week will not flood the market. Dis counts are quoted firm for next week.

Champion o'Connor's Form.

Peter O'Connor, the famous Irish
broad Jumper. now In this country. has
thus far disappointed his friends and
followers by his ordinary perform
ances. He failed TO beat records In the
worlds championships at Buffalo. al
though he won that event with a jump
Of less than twenty-thrce feet
The Irish champion is lame and It Is
hardly possible that he will be able to
do any record jumping until he has
taken long rest TO put his leg in shape
again. II IS not known what caused
O'Connors lameness. Some persons
say his leg bothered him before he left
Ireland for this country These as
cribe to the strain OF his many record
breaking performances his present
poor condition Others say that his
Jumping when he first arrived in this
country was good enough to figure as
his best.
There Is a theory at Celtic park, New
York. where O'Connor lives in pleasant
apartments over the dancing platform,
that the photographers and interview
ers have been his ruin. During the
first two weeks that O'Connor was In
this country he was visited a dozen
times each day by photographers. On
each occasion he obligngly took few
jumps for them. 1t was prophesled on
the third day Of this continuous per
Torrance that before he was through
with his exhibition for photographers
O'Connor would be too lame to jump.
