Murphy & Co.'S stock Letter.

New York, July 15.-There was a
very weak and demoralized opening in
the stock market this morning. London
cabled ranges of prices from l to 2
points, with the steelers leading in
the decline. The much easier banking
position was offset by the discouragng
labor troubles. The United States
Steel strike. together with the threat
ened trouble in the anthracite coal
region, and continuation of unfavor-
able weather comes from the corn
belt were factors which produced
opening declines that ranged from
to 5h points throughout the entire list.
There was enormous liquidation in the
steel stocks, and declines of 5h and
42 per cent. was recorded in the pre-
ferred and common stock respectively,
at the opening. In the railway list
weakness was especially pronounced in
Missouri Pacific, st. Paul and the
Atchisons. The volume of trade was
large. AT London there were appre-
tensions concerning the approaching
settlement, and fear was expressed
that 1t might not be effected without
some trouble.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET.
H. & b. Beers Cotton Letter.

New Orleans, July 15.-Liverpool was
adversely affected this morning by re-
ports of good rains in Texas, generally
and our market opened to- Is points
lower in consequence, but on the post
ing of the government map, showing
practically no moisture in the western
half of the. cotton belt, a quick re-
covery of to 10 was established, which
was, however, lost on reports of rain
in Little Rock, recovering at the close
on advice that only slight shower
had fallen in that neighborhood, final
prices showing a loss of 10 points from
Saturdays closing. Good rains were
reported privately from Denison and
Sherman. Texas, and showers from
Fort Worth, Palestine, Dallas. and also
in Arkansas and the Indian Territory,
but those appeared to be only partial
and insufficient to be of much benefit,
leaving the drought districts still suf-
fering for rain, although temperatures
were lower to-day. While the damage
is undoubted exaggerated, still the
complaints are becoming too pronounce
ed to be totally ignored and unless
good soaking rains transpire soon,
considerable harm will result. The
eastern half of the belt had good rains
to-day and crops there are daily improv-
ing. The market will continue to be
governed by the weather. early rains
would cause a marked decline, while
absence thereof Is apt to lead to higher
prices

siders with United States Steel hold
ings undisposed of made a notable de-
monstration this morning in their urg-
ent attempts to unload, only to find
that insiders were prepared to support
the market and accept their offerings.
A considerable part of the liquidation
in the steel stocks came from London,
where, in fact, declines below New
York parity of Az for United States
Steel common, and for the preferred
had been recorded before the opening
here.
The New York prices did not get as
low as those for London, but the ex-
treme opening decline for the common
was Az on running sales of 10000
shares and of the preferred points.
Speculative Wall street, which has
been long imbued with a theory that
a care for the United States Steel
stocks was the ultimate object of
practically all the bull movements in
the stock market that have occurred
since these stocks were issued, showed
extreme alarm over the violent slump
in the steel stocks and saw visions of
a catastrophe. 1t soon became evident
however, that whatever preparations
had been necessary to enable the
friends of the United States Steel
stocks to withstand the pressure upon
relief afforded by last weeks liquida-
ton was an important factor in to-
days resiliency of all stocks. The
large portion of the cash received from
the interior last week by the banks is
reported to have been for the pur-
pose of restoring impaired margins on
stocks.
In this connection ii is worthy of
note that the Chicago premium on
all tc
last week to cents to-day. The rally
in the market was very feverish and
erratic until the opening prices in the
corn market disclosed the weakness
of that cereal on the prospects of rain
in the corn belt. The continued weak
ness of corn was an influential factor
in the sustained recovery of stocks.
The opening declines in the leading
grangers and Pacific Southwesterns
reached from 3 to 5 points, Union Pa
cific leading. Elsewhere in the list the
losses ran variously from to points.
The recovery in United States Steel
stocks was not so sustained as else
where, the common closing SIC lower
than on Saturday, and the preferred

The railroad bond market was not so
