increase of more than 20 points over

Even the declines in London had no
effect in discouraging buyers of stocks
from all parts Of the country. The
market soon took on ragged ap-
pearance and became feverish. The
buying demand was palpably less
comprehensive than for some time
past. For one thing there was no pre-
eminent movement, such as has fur
nished the sensation of the market on
each day for some time past. The in
fluence of Mondays skyrocket move

On account of good rains reported at Shreveport, Little Rock and TeXar- kama and throughout Central, f'outhern and Eastern Texas last night, VI h other portions of Texas still cloudy d more rains expected, New Orleans opf .ed at 15 points off from yesterdays close. On some realizing market gradually worked up three points, and then eased off and finally closed at 7.29-14 points under Fri days close for October.
 We have not changed our opinion as to the fall months being controlled purely by the wea ther, and as the weather re- ports generally have an exaggerated effect would advise sales of these months on all rallies. Should the rains continue in Texas over Sunday we will see quite a break in the New York market Monday Secretary Hester's report shows total in- crease in worlds visible supply compared with last years of 1,020,000 bales, this in itself showing there is more than enough to go around and to spare before the new crop comes in; and should the weather in Texas prove favorable for the next few weeks prices will seem extremely high to us thirty days from now.

THE MARKETS.
Murphy 6 Co.'s Stock Letter.
Private Wire to Murphy & Co.

By Private Wire to Murphy & Co.
 New York; July 6-The three business days to which the stock exchange was lirsited this week have hardly afforded a satisfactory test of the market position. The excessive heat was enough to cause a suspension of activity had there been no other drawbacks. Then, again, the pros peet of the holiday, especially after the governing committee decided to extend over until Monday the usual effect of holding new operations in check while in- ducing some liquidation by speeulators who wished to save interest charges. NO doubt the decline in prices reflected these technical conditions fully as much as IL did any outside clements of uncertainty. The strike in the steel industry. however was a source of much apprehension, es- pecially as many people professed to see a connection of serious significance pe- tweSn this and the refusal of the Umteo States Steel directors to provide for regular quarterly disbursement when they declared the l per cent. dividend on the common stock. The prolonged tension in the money market, compelling borrowers for speculative purposes to pay excessive rates for their accommodation. was an- other weak-ending influence. These cir cumstances obviously could not have out weighed for very long the more important factor in the financial situation which are encouraging.
 The only blot upon the promising com mercial outlook is the labor troubles in several branches of the steel industry.
 The winter wheat harvest will be prac- tically completed by the end of another week. and the weather continuing favor able for spring wheat cultivation, that portion of the crop is fast ceasing to be a matter of doubt in financial calculations.
 Corn is the only cereal where any great amount of uncertainty remains, but it's progress so far this season has been fully up to the normal. If the stock market were to shape itself in accordance with the more important elements in the com mercial situation it could move in only one direction. As it is, the excellent busi- taning power which may at any time break through the more immediate influ- ences of depression.
 Aside from the steel strike, the money market is the only important obstacle to change for the better in security deal- 1ngs. Evidently the surplus reserve of the local banks will have to undergo a rapid improvement within the next six weeks in order to successfully resist the heavy demands fer the crop moving period
 The recently inaugurated checks upon an excessive treasury revenue, the pros pect of further gains from the interior centers, the declining tendency of foreign exchange and the repayment of credits involved in the various syndicate enter prises are the most obvious ways in which the desired improvement may occur. But it is too early to judge whether the pros- pective addition to local resources will prove to be permanently effective.
