THE COTTON MARKET.
News Continues Favorable, But Bears
Are Nervous.

NEW YORK. July 16.-While the cotton
crop news was still in the main favor
able. there l.. certain amount of ner-
vousness today among the bears owing
partly to the steady decrease in the
stock. the excellent demand for the
actual cotton from Europe, and the
idea that the market for the time being,
AT least. is oversold.
The crop looks well. but the plant is
small. and much may happen within the
next sixty days. Lancashire complains
Of poor trade. and talks Of adopting
short time next week, but FAN River re-
ports a better inquiry. and the records
show that Lancashire has been doing a
good business this year.
The idea that clique of American
spectators is keeping up the price OF
cotton is everywhere regarded as alb
surd. The trouble is that we have had
three relatively short crops in success
sion. and the cotton world is feeling
It. as America raises Il per cent of the
cotton produced.
1t is felt too, that unless we get a
crop of II sec, GOO bales or more. the rel
atively high prices may be maintained,
and IN the meantime. there is disposi-
tion to refrain from aggressive opera
tions on the short side. though it is
equally true that few are disposed to
buy at all freely.
The general disposition is to await
events. TodGy's advance may be con-
sidered a natural reaction after the
recent decline. New Orleans. Liverpool,

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Large Trade in Wheat With Advance
in Price on Buying.

CHICAGO. July 16.-The.e was a fair
ly large trade in wheat today, and the
market during the greater part of the
session ruled firm and prices advanced
on good buying. but toward the close
free realizing and general liquidation by
small holders caused a sharp break.

Cash demand here was rather quiet, and
the seaboard reported only moderate

The weather is favorable, although
some rain was reported in sections of
the winter wheat belt. The prospects
are for more rain.
The market for corn during the great
er part OF the session ruled firm. on
covering by shorts, but later prices
eased off with wheat. Trade in the July

other grains.

only, on steady nogs, and was given Wig
orous support and advanced. but was
met by the usual selling by the lead
ers. and closed rather weak for ev-
erything.
The weakness in grain had something
TO do with the decline, but the evident
desire to work off holdings by the lead

Receipts Falling Of.

i-ol AAtoN4AhAApAi was A~ctcA a. e''N
clearing house this morning TO the
amount OF nearly $1,000 Regard
ing the financial operations OF the
treasury it is interesting to note that IN
ternal revenue receipts are falling on
in consequence of the repeal of the wa7
taxes, and that the expenditures of the
Government since the beginning Of the
fiscal year are unusually large.
AS against these circumstances, which
tend to make desirable reduction in the
sc far this mv.th an increase in Gus
tom receipts. 1t is by no means GER
tain that this increase will continue.
Indications are not wanting that the
internal movements of merchandise
staple products, and securities during
the next three months will be favorable
TO this country.
The outlook for the corn crop war
rants expectations that exports of that
cereal upon an extensive scale will be
resumed as soon as the crop is harvested
and these. together with the usual de-
mands that Europe makes upon this
country for wheat. flour. and cotton will
without doubt make a more favorable
foreign trade exhibit this year than has
just been shown for the last fiscal year
OF the Government.
1t is fortunate both for the export
trade and the domestic financial situa-
ton that the corner in July corn at Chi
cago has come to an end The indica-
tions are that those who have engineer
ed it were fully as desirous of making a
settlement as were their opponents,
since the high prices which they brought
about were beginning to market larger
