New York, June 1S-The stock market opened active and irregular. The appre- hensiQns current yesterday respecting the money market conditions were again evident, and the absence of any con frmation of recent rumors and exnlana- tions of recent decided market movements tended to unsettle speculative confidence. At the same time, the market was by no means uniformly weak. and buying of an excellent character was reported in vari- ous directions. The trading was fairly we'll diversified. The local traction stocks continued neglected, among the special ties the feature of dealings was a very sharp rise in North American. The T. c. I. and other independent iron and steel producing shares were rather reaction ary.
 In the industrial quarter the United States stocks were heavily dealt in, but again moved within a very narrow range of prices. In the railway list St. Paul has a somewhat reactionary tendency on ab- sence of any confirmation of rumored deal with Union Pacific, and Union Pa ciic was also heavy. Missouri Pacific. likewise was rather reactionary. The At chison on the other hand were desidely strong, as was also Illinois Central.
 Anthracite coal issues showed a steady undertone. The bulk of dealing for for eign account were on the selling side. There was nothing that was novel and definite that was presented for considera- ton in this mornings news.

The bureau summary follows Tn Central and Western portions of the cotton belt cotton Is greatly improved and well cultivated, although needing rain in some sections in the Carofinas, Georgia and Florida heavy rains has caused much damage and the crop is greatly in need of cultivation
 Advices from Liverpool today stated that Manchester was doing a good busi- ness In cloths and yarns and that the con tinent was also improving. Fall River reports indicate increased activity at that point and altogether the situation in the textile world is much improved.
 Certificated stocks of cotton at New York today, as result of heavy ship ments to that market jumped 5000 bales to 5000 bales, though conservative oper- ators are still staying off the short side In the summer positions as they still bear ear marks of manipulation. The new crop months will be principally governed by weather conditions.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, June 1S.-The position of the market for spot cotton was rather more favorable to the factorage element today. There was not a great deal of the staple uncovered and offerings .S2re uni- formly at extreme full prices, Tsilfe some holders of particularly desirable lists were inclined to stand for figures distinctly higher than yesterdays quotations. Not much trading was done, however, for though buyers were moving about among the sample rooms freely imperative or ders were not very plentiful, and, left to the use of their own discretion, they were disposed to resist the views of holders. Sales, 1050 bales, including $50 to arrive Quotations unchanged.
 A very fair amount of trading was noted during the day in the market for contracts and though fluctuations were numerous and comparatively wide, there by inducing measurably free line of room trading, there was an under current of sentiment observable and was distinctl, favorable for the long element and result ed in the taking on of some goodly blocks of the staple by leading bull operators.
 This market was partial point higher on first call. Thereafter values fiuctuated somewhat rapidly. The local market ad- vanced three to four points additional and then fell away seven to nine points under the pressure of realizing sales, finally closing seven to eight points low CT on the entire lost compared with last evenings closing prices.
