STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July S.--The action of
prices in today's stock market made 1t
evident that very large financial inter
ests were conducting some notable op-
erations. The effort was made to have
it appear that some occult manouevre
was going on designed to inveigle the
public into parting with their stocks at
declining prices for the benefit of the
large financial interests, who seemed to
be themselves selling stocks With great
industry The final action o. the mar
ket left little room to doubt that ur-
gent liquidation was being effected.
Great caution must be exercised to
judge correctly how far the liquidation
was influenced by the immediate devel-
opments of the day and how far by a
general sense of disquiet and distrust,
which had been gaining force in the
market for several weeks past The
episode of the Seventh National Bank
failure and the bank failures in Buff
falo have become sufficiently clear to
indicate that they are not of prime i'm
portance in the immediate losses in
volved or in the immediate collateral
effects, but as a possible symptom OF
serious attention. The accumulation of
doubtful securities has always proved a
consequence of period of industrial ex-
panson, business prosperity and the
general credit which is thereby caused.
The actual present conditions in Ger
many bear striking testimony to this
economic law. The Seventh National
Bank episode has undoubtedly induced
a general overhauling of collateral. by
the banks of the Wall Street district.
Not little liquidation has been i'm
mediately induced as result.
In the stock market there have been
large speculative holdings which were
withheld from sale only by reason of
the support which has been accorded to
prices by large syndicates and money
ey interests. The indications were that
considerable part of this support was
withdrawn today and large holdings
were dislodged by the decline in prices
which was allowed to occur. The SELL
ing was concentrated in character, the
bulk of it coming from few stock eX.
change houses which have often acted
for Western capitalists, some of whom
had become prominent in the steel trade
before the formation of the United
States Steel corporation and have been
RELOCATED to the back ground since the
rise of that corporation. The selling at
tributed to this source was enormous
not only of the United States Steel
stocks. themselves. but of the railroad
stocks which led the slump. The inn
mediate cause of the weakness of this
group was the reported announcement

New York. July S.--The week opens
with quiet market in all departments
of dry goods. Heavy brown cottons
and coarse colored goods show no
change, but some medium grades of
bleaching have been advanced a quarter
cent and low grades 1t cent per yard.

COTTON.
New York July S.-The cotton market
opened steady despite a decline of 5
to points, latter being in sympathy
with pronounced weakness in the Eng
lish market. The initial figures proved
to be about the bottom for the day, as
soon after the call, shorts, Southern in
terests and Liverpool arbitrage houses
became moderate buyers and bid prices
up quite steadily during the rest of the
session. While receipts at the ports
were larger than expected, clearances
for export were phenomenally large and
fully offset the arrivals at seacoast.
Southern spot markets remained firm
though quiet, and reports from cot
ton goods centres were decidedly en-
couraging. But next to the cables in
influence, We're reports that no rains OF
consequence had made their appear
ance over the drouth stricken districts
of the Southwest. The weather fore
casts from Washington gave no hope
of a break in the drouth for the next
two days at least The room contingent
was favorable to a higher market and
conditions favored higher prices, but
the absence of outside investment buy
ing caused the professionals to await de-
velopments. Toward the close the mar
ket eased off somewhat under profit
taking, but few traders had the courage
to openly attack prices. The market
was finally steady with prices net un
changed to 3 points lower or about top
for the day.

by the AtchiSon authorities that freight
rates would be cut in the Chicago Mis-
souri, River territory 25. AS the roads
in this territory comprise the principal
properties supposed to have been
brought into community of interest and
as there has been a large speculation
in them founded on this supposition,
the hostility manifested by a cutting of
rates made them peculiarly vulnerable.

occasional struggling rallies on covering

heavy offerings. While the general
market was less acutely affected, there
were some sharp losses recorded among
the New York public utilities, the most
prominent industrials and the eastern
trunk lines and coalers. The declines
in these ranged from to points in the
principal cases and the market closed
in semi demoralized condition. The
call loan rate was offered down from s
cent at the close without relieving the
weakness of the stock market. Rumors
of financial difficulties could not be
traced to any reliable source, nor could
anything be learned to justify them.
Growing uneasness was expressed over
the requirements of the money market

er there would be any considerable re-
flux of funds to New York previous

Important Matters Before the COnven-

The thirteenth annual convention of the
Rathbone Sisters Of Indiana began yester-
day morning i'm the House of Representa-
tives. The early hours of the session were
devoted TO the reading of reports of COM
mittees appointed at last years meeting.
The afternoon session began with the work
of comforting the degree of Grand Temple
on two hundred members. This work took
a great deal of time. Mrs. Tanning, grand
chief, then read her annual report. She
informed the members that nineteen new
temples had been instituted during the year.
She advocated the institution of a new
office, that Of grand instructor. The duties
of this official would be to go TO the diff
ferent temples over the State, n when
instruction was needed I'm the work of any
lodge, to give it and make all lodges uni
form in their work. This suggestion of
the grand chief met with approval and
will likely be adopted before the session
adjourns.
The report of Miss Louise Decker. grand
matron Of records and correspondence,
shows POS active temples on the rolls, which
represent a membership of 6,646, a gain of
1,O4S members since last year.
The financial condition of the order is
good, as shown in the report of the grand
matron Of finance. I the close of last
years session the order had to its credit
il ,49l.l6. During the past year the receipts
aggregated $3,923.27, making a total of
81, Alt The disbursements during the year
amounted to $1,3l1.24, leaving a balance of
81, 100. 81. Mrs. Eva Rhoback read her re-
port on the work of raising funds for the
proposed orphans home. This project was
started three years ago. and during that
time $500 has been raised. One thousand
six hundred dollars of this has been raised
during the past year.
Following the reading of reports a me-
mortal service was held for deceased mem
bers Of the order. During the year seventy
six members have died. y programme con-
sisting of prayer and hymns was rendered
during the afternoon under the leadership
of Mrs. Agnes J. Perry.
Before adjourning a letter of coincidence
was drawn up by the committee on reso-
lutions TO Mrs. Mckinley, as follows: Mrs.
William Mckinley, Dear Madam-The
Rathbone Sisters Of Indiana, in their an
nual convention assembled, desire TO ex-
press TO you their loving sympathy. We
share with all our land the grief at our
Nations loss i'm the death of our Pres
ident, and the shame that so foul a deed
should have been lone by an American
born citizen. But to you we would come as
women, mourning over your great lOneli-
ness. O childless mother. o h~usbandless
wife. may God out of the riches of His
grace comfort you and keep you until you
go to your home
