WALL STREET REVIEW PRICES CRUMBLE UNDER PRO-
 FIT-TAKING. Opening Rush to Buy Was All That Raised the Level of Prices.
 The Bond Market
 is Dull.

NEW YORK. July 29.--The way in which the stock market acted this afternoon served to dash the hopes of the bulls amongst the traders who had indulged a hope that some accession of speculative interest would result from the favoring factors over Sunday. For two Mondays past the market has had to face an ac- emulation of discouraging factors which resulted In selling down prices within the first hour of trading to what proved to be the low point of the week. This morning, In contrast. there was the news Of rains in the corn belt, about which there was no dispute, for the first time, as to their extent and beneficial character. There was besides the news of negotiations and consultations between the representa- tives of the United States Steel Corpora tion and of the Amalgamated Association looking to settlement of the strike. The opening of negotiations gave strong hope of an early settlement. The simultaneous sales of United States Steel at the open ing were of 35000 shares at an extreme advance of points and a large number of stocks thus benefited were Norfolk and Western. Chesapeake and Ohio. Pennsyl- vania. Baltimore and Ohio, New York Central. several of the coalers, the Chi cago and Alton stocks. Hooking Valley, a number of the Southern and Southwest ern railroad stocks. Colorado Fuel, American Tobacco and North American. As a device for awakening interest in the market. this was the failure. The open ing rush to buy was all that brought the days dealings above the level of activity prevailing during the latter part of last week When the room traders attempted to take their profits at the end of the day prices crumbled away and only few stocks had anything left to show but fractional net gains at the closin~ which was dull and heavy.
 The bond market was dull and irregular, but rather more diversified than last week. Total sales (par value), $l. 0o0. United States bonds all unchanged on last call

One Must Leave

New York Times: -.-
 A good story is going the rounds of the offices of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company up in the big build ing at Broadway and Houston street concerning the wonderful presence of mind displayed recently by new con ductor on one of the company's trolley cars. The particular car was bowling along up Broadway recently when 1t was hailed and boarded by company inspector.
 The official hurriedly counted the passengers in the car and found that there were nine. Then he cast his eye up to the register and found that there had been only eight fares rung up. He disclosed his identity to the new con- dustor and called attention to the dis cIepancy. y
 Slowly and painfully the new hand counted over his passengers and then scanned his register.
 "Begorra. an you're roight. sir" te said. and promptly stopped the car.
 Say" he demanded. addressing the passengers in an authoritative manner,
 O yourse fellows'll have to git off the car-r."

New York Cotton Futures.
NEW YORK, July 29.-Quotations for cotton futures today were as follows:
New Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW, ORLEANS. July 29.-The market for spot cotton was very quiet today. Buyers made their usual rounds through the sample rooms. but they were not abundantly supplied with orders and showed no great anxiety to trade upon the basis of current values. Factors are still offering freely and the tables are well supplied with the medium and poorer grades. but prices are just a shade steadi- CT. under the influence of the improve ment in sentiment, during the latter DOT tion of the day at Liverpool and the con sequent advance in contract prices on this side. Sales. coo, including 100 to arrive. Quotations unchanged.
 There was not much doing during the morning hours today in the line of con- tracts for the future delivery of cotton. The sharp and radical change of front on the part of Liverpool, which opened 3-64d below Saturdays close, and reacting i'm mediately, after the opening price ad- vanced until at the close it showed a net gain for the day of 1-64d on all months. had rather a simplifying effect on the tai ent on this side New Orleans opened 41fS points higher The fluctuations thereafter were very narrow covering a range of 113 points, the market closing with net gain of 4q5 points for the day on all positions.

MARKET FOR FUTURES
PERIOD OF NERVOUSNESS FOL
 LOWING CALL.
Before the Noon Hour the Room Traders Were Arrayed on the Bull Side-The Close
 Barely$teady.

NEW YORK. July 29-1'he cotton mar ket opened steady with all months but July up Sd5 points. Following the call there was period of nervousness with reactfonary movements under room profit taking. but before the noon hour the mar ket had turned steady with local opera tors arrayed on the bull side. Trading all day was. slim and almost entirely profess sional. Whereas the early Liverpool ca- bles were distinct disappointment, the late advices reported q full recovery and a substantial net agin on brisk general buying for both accounts Buying orders were sent to representatives here, but this class of business was too small to cut much figure each way. Marked firmness in the New Orleans market. dry weather reports from the Southwest forecast for continued drought in Texas and small receipts all helped to hold the local mar ket steady and to check selling for either account. There was a fairly good de- mand for desirable grades of spot cotton in all markets, with spinners and export CTS competing for supplies. Near the close room operators became discontented by the poor public interest displayed and in selling out sent prices off to below the opening figures. The close was barely steady with prices net 16 points lower to points higher.

Chicago Grain and Provision

CHICAGO, July 29.-With the drought broken. the corn market today led a downward movement, participated in by the other cereals. Wheat. with other bearish factors contributed to the weak ness. closed 2c lower for September de- livery. September corn closed 21hdi 25s down and September oats 1IsG1tsc de pressed.

 In corn there was but one consideration

There Was little else to the trade save liquidation. which was continued with considerable activity 10 noon. when there was a porcentible de- crease in the value of offerins. The price was kept well under 5$c all the scs so following the opening. although thcrr was fair amount of covering by traders who had had the courage to sell short when prices were at their best. During the af- ternoon September was forced tn i2i4 and although there was a sharp rally to 52Is the tap of the gong announcing the close found tho market weak and nervous.

 A potent combination worked to lower wheat values and prices nearly all day were close to the bottom level. The corn break was, of course, the chief facter, but weak cables and bearish statistics formed an array which, together were almost equally weakening. September opened < to 1l4c lower at 69 to 6S4. Liquidation continued till the market. having experi- enced no rally of consequence touched 67l5. This was near the end of tine. session and reports of export buying and an al legation that hail and rain had injured the Northwestern crop created sufficient apprehension among shorts. whose num- bers had been greatly augmented during the day to cause covering undep which September rallied to G17s The close was weak. 2c under Saturday. at 67A Export CTS reported g loads taken.
