(By the Associated press.)
New York July 22.-The unsettled con-
dtion of the speculative mind was clear
ly manifest when the stock market open
cd this morning with a fresh batch of I'M
favorable news regarding the corn crop
and affecting also the chances of the
spring wheat crop. The Changers and
Pacifics and Southwesterns were all act
lively depressed and heavy blocks of
shares of each of those roads were thrown
upon the market, OPENING sales reaching
as high as 10000 shares for Union Pacific.
Conditions were much like those of last
Monday and the trading contingent were
inclined to look for some such effective
support to the market as was offered
last Monday by the powerful capitalists
who have paramount interest in keep
ing up the prices of their properties. The
selling on the short side after the open
ing dip was therefore conducted with
some signs of timidity and caution. There
was, in fact, effective support offered at
the opening low level. But the incipient,
rally was checked when the corn market
opened and the excited condition of af-
fairs there was observed. The present
market is largely Influenced by the close
with the proximity of brokers in stocks
and the brokers in grains, the stock ex-
change being in temporary quarters on
portion of the Produce Exchange floor,
with only half wall dividing them. Not
only are the proceedings in each exchange
to be seen from the floor of the other,
but brokers are constantly passing from
one to the other and operating on both.
This personal contact exaggerates the
sentimental effect OF the grain market
on the stock market. There were ocea-
sional rallies on the down grade due TO
the covering of board room bears, who
took quick profits. The loaning rate Tor
stocks does not Indicate widely extend
ed short interest beyond the in and out
transactions by the board room traders.
The bearish operators are in constant APP
prehension of some vancouver announce
ment by those interested in supporting
the market which would cause a sudden
rally and cost the shorts heavy losses.
There was no evidence of any such
manoeuvre today. the market yielding
easily to every attack. But there was
general disposition on the part of the
traders to close IN their contracts over
night and the demand from this source
caused a substantial rally in the late
dealings running from / to 8 points in
the leaders. AT the, low level the in

New York, July 22.-There has been
poor attendance of buyers today In the
cotton goods division and business has
been Indifferent again There has not
been any change in the tone of the mar
ket, and prices are maintained in all de-
partments including print cloths. Amer

COTTON.
New York. July 22.--Cotton had an ir-
regular movement all day and local sem
timent from the very beginning was mixed
TO an unusual degree. News in hand was
conflicting while business from the OUT
side was not sufficiently regular, either
way to allow of room traders depending
upon it for backing. The opening was
barely steady, with prices unchanged to
3 points higher, poor response to bet
ter English cables than expected, light
port receipts, and favorable advices from
Southern spot markets Soon after the
call liquidation set In on quite extensive
lines and forced prices rapidly lower,
the decline at one time reaching points.
Reports of light showers to hard rains
in parts of the central and Western belt,
created distrust in bull circles and
prompted bear selling for q small turn.
Before mid day the market was on the
upward tack with the pit covering its
shorts. New Orleans stiffened up quite
sharply in the early afternoon and sent
a number of buying orders here, all OF
which tended to strengthen bull conf
dence. But in the absence of liberal sup
port the bulls were slow to take the ag-
gressive and late events proved to be of
most matter of fact order. The fore
cast indicated thundershowers all over
the Southwest, except Western Texas,
which will remain clear and warm. Pri-
vate crop accounts from Texas were con-
ficting. Clearances for export today
were %. 900 bales and included 10000 bales
from New York and 1000 bales from CAL
weston, for the continent. The July OPP
ton held a relatively firm position to the

League The opinion prevailed that strike
against the National League could now be
averted only by that body agreeing. like
the American League, to do away with the
selling and farming Of men.
| Many people are of the opinion that the
Players Association will not stand togeth-
| er, but that big majority of its members
! will take the first opportunity to secure
| contracts guaranteeing their old salaries.
| People Of this belief should stop to think of
| what became of the players who deserted
| the Brotherhood movement in 1Ss9-90
! There wasn't one of them that lasted more
! than a year. their union companions simply
| driving them from the game through petty
| prosecutions. Pitchers were simply worth
less, as they could get no support, and the
men playing the other positions were
| bounded so persistently that it told on
| their playing and they had to quit. This
| will probably be the course pursued by
| the players against traitors this season. and

| up as q possible phantom to keep their
weak -kneed members in line.

President Young of the National League
returned home Saturday from his trip to
the south very much tnvigorated in health
and looking several years younger. Mr..
Young has been hard at work on the play
ing schedule for the coming season, but 1t
is far from being completed, and news con-
cerning it could not be given out.
More than the usual amount of impor-
tance Is attached to the schedule this year.
as 1t Is commonly reported that every ef-
fort will be made to have the National
League clubs in Boston. Philadelphia and
Chicago conflict with those of the American
League. 1t is not known whether "Uncle
Nick has been working ON a schedule for
the American Association. but 1t is under
stood that their dates will also be arranged
so as to clash with the American League as
much as possible. 1t Is expected that Presi-
dent Youngs schedule will not be given out,
even at the spring meeting OF the National
League. but that 1t will be kept secret until
after that of the American League is made
public.
If this should prove to be the case, there
is big possibility that the history of the
Brotherhood year will be repeated. as 1t
will be recalled that the National LeaGu
changed its schedule no less than three
times in order to conflict with the players
organization
Such a course may be avoided under the
following circumstances: President john
son OF the American League has raid that
the schedule of his organization will be
made out regardless of the Nationals. and
that 1t will not be altered despite any hos
tile action on the part of the older league.
Then again. the National League last De-
cember decided upon the main points of
its schedule. which should aid President
Johnson In steering clear Of conflicting
dates. Subsequent events will show which
organization IS to blame for the fans
having two attractions on the same day.
Aside from the meeting of the American
League In Chicago. and the conference of
the players Protective Association in Cleve-
land last week was a quiet one in base ball
circles. There has been an ominous silence
