COTTON FUTURES.

New York. July 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened barely steady, l to points
hlgher on near months. and 2 to
points lower on. far months. The int-
ttal advance was in response to bullish
Liverpool cables. but the late months
were adversely influenced by reports
OF more or iess general rain in the belt
since the closing here of last Thursday.
The private crop reports averaged up
bearishly and the weather forecast in
dicated thunder showers where needed
in some portions of the belt. Liverpool
was quick to note the weakness here,
and sold off 8 to 315 points as from the
top in sympathy, while European in
terests sold moderate amounts of cot
ton held in New York. The South, too,
sold cotton in the local ring. Conser-
vative traders were inclined to quietly
close UP struggling accounts pending
receipts of to-morrow's government re-
view for the week of climatic condi-
tions in the belt. The market sold
further off after the opening, August
to S.3Tc from SAC the latter being the
initial sale. There was little change
in prices thereafter. The market closed
dull with prices net, 3 to 9 points lower.
Total sales were estimated at. $4,000
bales. Port receipts were exception
ally light, while there was some in
crease in the export movement.

New Orleans, July during our

but in the interior good rains fell in
Southwest Texas, where needed, caus-
ing our market to only open 9 to 4
higher on near months, and unchanged

prediction that scattered thunder
showers would occur over Southern
Texas tonight and the later easiness

past twenty-four hours light showers
have fallen in localities over the south
ern portion of the cotton belt, but gen.
orally fair weather continues.
On the 4th and 5th, however, bene-
nclal rains occurred in southwestern
Texas, and were instrumental in SUI

The Morning News Office,
Monday, July Z.
The effect Of showers upon the cot
ton markets was demonstrated to-day
by bear selling and drop in prices at
New York of to 9 points. with the
closing dull and at New Orleans of
3 to s points, with the closing steady.
Showers were reported in sections of
the cotton country where they are
badly needed, and the effect was to
send the market off. Then, too, the
weather bureau people gave out fore
casts for more showers, which caused
the bulls to weaken under the fear that
sufficient moisture was Forthcoming for
the crop.
In the different spot markets the cue
to the situation was readily caught,
and the withdrawal of buyers gave
the market another thump with clock
like regularity. With such prospects
for repairing the injury already done
the crop buyers were disposed to keep
hands off, at least until the full effect
of the showers and the localities af-
fected shall become known. The Sa-
vannah market closed steady and un-
changed. with the demand light in all
quarters. Nothing was doing in the

Theodore H. Price is out in his in
itial circular on the present crop. Sum-
maries made from reports received

dictate, he says, a yield of cotton of
044 maximum, and an estimated
indicated production of 10, 1902 sos. Since
Mr.. Prices estimates were made rains
have fallen in Texas, which have con-
siderably improved the crop outlook.
The turpentine market opened firm
at Acc, and remained at this through
out the official trading hours. After
the o'clock closing sales were made
at 45Ac in sufficient lots to establish
the advance as the official market.
Resins closed firm and in good de-
mand. Resume of the markets as fol-

Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, July THE market for
cotton this morning was nervous and
irregular, the new crop months being
pressed and the old crop months being
freely supported. Sentiment was mix
ed and the bullish disposition arising
from last weeks remarkably strong
bureau report still prevailed, but to
a more moderate extent. Reports of
a gloomy situation were coming in
through private sources and it appears
that little relief to the Texas drought
situation has occurred over the holl-
days. What rain fell during that time
was as a rule light. The feeling on
the whole however, while mixed is
leaning to the bull side, and it is felt
that under no conditions, however ia
vorable, is the crop likely to prove re-
markedly large and possibly nothing
more than fair sized one. The Tex
as forecast was for thunder showers in
East Texas. The South did little here
and there was some little buying on a
small scale by Liverpool. The insight
figures to the close of last week were
10,124,000. There was a loss of $4,000
in Liverpool stock for the week, but
the total so far is $4,000 ahead of last
year at same date.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 7.-Fhere was very
little done in the stock market to-day
in the way of buying and selling? Most
of the professional traders took the
precaution to close UP their commit
ments last Thursday afternoon in view
of the possibility of unexpected devel-
opments over the three days holiday.
ana there was not much inclination APP
parent to-day to make new ventures
The crop developments were favora-
BILE. The sun and warmer weather were
regarded as good for harvesting in the
southwest and the rains yesterday
were ignored. The weekly statistics OF
railroad traffic also were promising for
a continuance of large earnings. The
movement of miscellaneous freight
westward reported to be maintained on
an Unprecedented scale, and rates to
be firmly held. The so-called local traf-
nc, 100, which is SO important a factor
In the aggregate in the prosperity of
railroads, is reported as unusually
large and varied.
The crop news made the grain-car-
rylng railroads prominent. The most
conspicuous movements were in stocks
associated with the interests that make
up the so-called Western contingent.
Rock Island made a sensational jump
OF 5h points. There were more SUBJ

The disclosure by recent railroad re-
ports that soft coal carrying railroads

the increased demand for soft coal

suspended gave another center of
strength, in which Pennsylvania and
Hooking Valley were the leaders. But
the advances were largely confined TO
the leaders in both groups and when it
was observed that the general market
Ialled to respond in sympathy, the rise
was discontinued and gave place to
reaction. The closing was heavy and
showed all of the animation gone out

export point by foreign exchange and
the interior demand for currency which
sprang up over the holiday interval
were repressive influences which were
reinforced by the poor bank statement.
