MARKET RELEASES INTO A
 TORPID CONDITION.
Efforts to Advance Prices Discon- tinued in the Face of the Recsp- tion They Met-Bonds

NEW YORK, June i2.--The stock market re- ,apsed today into torpd condition and deal asgregate The efforts which were conspicu- ous yesterday to advance prices and which were discontf,ud in face of the discou-aging reception which they met and prices were allowed to fan back. There was actual weakness developed and the selling was pretty well absorbed. In Reading especially in which there were large offerings. there was fssas 1;an S absorption and apparently dstermina. position of Missouri Pacific was enhanced to- day and the volume of the dealings in that list It was moved upwards a point at one time, followed by Texas and Pacific but the advances s, met such heavy selling orders that and practically all the gain was lost. The only development to account for the strength the dividend will shortly be increased, Tho reaction in the market was largely due to better appreciation of the decrease in the coming wheat crop estimate involved tn the falling of in the Spring wheat acreage The transfer of Nebraska from the Spring wheat p ton the o wheat M s the the s1n, wheat estimate The revision in the com ng wheat crop estimate thus involved caused persistent strength in the wheat market. The strength of the corn market said to be in sympathy with whcet. but 1t had even more significant influence on the stock mar ket owing to the vast importance attached to upon the prosperity of the whole country.
 
 regarding the position of the coal mining con- troyersy. This feeling was emphasized by rumors which enjoy circulation that a message to Congress by the President the subject was in contemplation. Yesterdays public statement by the operators of their position was seen to involve in effect the dissolution of the miners union and their recopciliable po- sition thus presented felt to threaten heightened contest. The pressure upon sugar was connected with yesterdays testimony be- fore the Senate committee regarding the meth ods pursued in the adv"cacy of the Cuban re- ciprocity policy. notable decline in May ports of the principal domestic articles report ed from Washington had a depressing effect, especially in view of the great chance of sus- tained trade balance in favor of this country during the next few months account of the heavy obligations to foreign lenders which Mill mature in that time.

 Net Changes Small.

NEW YORK, June l2.-The cotton market opened firm with prices 5G7 points higher, . normal response to bulIish cables from the English market and to dry weather reports from the entire belt The shorts were the chief buyers at the higher prices though Europe figured light purchaser of thea Fall and Winter months. But public support failed to awaken and as bull traders were in no mood to take the aggressive, the whole list sifted slowly backward after the call until before midday last nights final bids were once more in force. Forecasts for showers over extensive areas of the eastern belt and for portions of the Western belt Inspired selling for a reac- rion by tho bear leaders. The fact that New Orleans dropped from s.36 on the opening to o23 by midday for July, led to claims that crop conditions as whole in the South were favorable and spot demand was less active.
 The report that the Indian monsoon had broken and would greatly beneht the crops of that country helped to depress the late afternoon market. Later in the day the local market slowly rallied on light. room covering of a profit taking nature The market was finally quiet and net unchanged to points higher.

NEW ORLEANS. June I2.--Tsirst prices here were several points higher the weather map showed rain only at Fl Paso and Key West, far out of the cotton district but the predic- ton of thunder showers over the northern part of the belt caused many longs to take profits and checked the improving tendency. There was also some liquidation of outside interest in July. owing to the approach of tender day and the prospect of little further activity in that month. The absence of all interest in the small daily movement no doubt contributed to the desire of longs to get out of month which rather discouraged holders was Eli ment to it's followers of late. Another feature. which rather discouraged holder swas Ellf- sons figures of May consumption which showed that mills have used about 900 bales per week less than during May of last year. Spinners' reserve stocks said also to be about 25O. GOO greater than a year ago. that it is generally accepted that the old crop, no matter what 1t may turn out to be. will be big enough to supply all wants with ' out distress. Public attention, therefore, has forsaken the positions and is concen- trated on the fortuEates of new season. Every day that passes without general rain Is increasing real and live danger to a wide .afea of country. and nothing short of a gen. erai dewnpour will fully allay the apprehen- sion. It is a pleasure to note that the phe- nomenal differences between the old and new crops are being materially reduced, but there is still room for further adjustment before a perfectly normal condition Is re-established.
