Murphy q Co.'S Cotton Latter.

New York, July 10-The question of
rain in the South as usual attracted
attention in the cotton market to-day.
There was an absence of moisture of
consequence when the market opened
except at Atlanta to the extent of 20
inch, and at Oklahoma 10 inches, while
the government forecast was for fur
Their showers in all states and terri
tories, without exception. 1t is con-
tended that these showers have so far
failed to prove beneficial because of
extremely high temperatures. Official
records show intensely high figures for
successive days, and the condition of
soil, 1T is urged, was such as to nullify
all advantage from the moisture, which
there is possibility of more injury than
benefit, so it is asserted The trade,
however. has the notion that the rains
which set in in Texas in the last week
in June and since in other drought re-
gions suffice to put the crop in excel
lent condition and have accordingly un-
dertaken to oppose an advance at this
time, although Liverpool is buying on
quite a liberal scale and apparently
is not influenced by American big crop
notions. First prices were at unchanged
prices to two advance on very small
transactions subsequent change to
early afternoon were unimportant.
Port receipts 1000, against 3,100 last
year.

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, July 10.-The cotton mar

TO point higher and soon took a de-
clded upward tedency on demand from
the shorts, light Support from the
scalping element and purchases for
foreign account Continued dry
weather over the south central portion
OF the belt, where the crop is said to
be badly in need OF moisture, was the
chief basis of the big movement,
though large spot sales in Liverpool
naturally helped to strengthen bull
confidence here. After the first hour
trade quieted down materially and for
the balance of the session fluctuations
were confined to a narrow rut. At
times speculation came to complete
standstill. The market for futures in
Liverpool was quite as expected by
the trade here and attracted little at
Ientlon. Receipts were again very
light, but had been anticipated. The
New York stock suffered through the
exporting of $500 bales to Europe and
Japan. The weather forecast was
quite reassuring in that ii promised
showers to good rains practically over
the entire belt tonight and Tomorrow
The market for futures closed quiet
and steady with prices net / to 4
points higher Total sales for the day
were estimated at $4,000 bales, nearly
all in the new crop months.

the trade, who regard the market as

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 10.--To-day's stock
market was highly speculative
throughout and speculative influences
affected the grain markets rs we'll as
even the money and exchange mar
kets. In the stock market there was
large buying of New Lork Central,
which was the leader of the market
by the same brokers which We're heavy
sellers of Western grain carrying rail-
road stocks.
The conviction was general to-day
that there was a maneuver to facili-
tate taking profits in Western stocks
on the part of the so-called Western
contingent, which is engrossed at this
time with the conduct of the corner in
July corn at Chicago. This operation
looms big in financial affairs. The
realizing in stocks, in spite of the
clearing weather in the crop regions to-
day, the continued heavy shipments of
currency to Chicago, the advancing
rates for time money here, the sell
ing of loan bills in the foreign ex-
change market which has aYerted gold
exports, are all attributed in some de-
gree to the eXigencies of the corn cor
ner. There were no current transfers
to Chicago through the sub-treasury
to-day, but 100000 went through that
institution to New Orleans and 1t is
estimated that the express companies
took another million and a half to
Chicago to-day.
The higher rates for time loans here
encouraged further borrowing of for
eign funds through the sterling mar
ket. But the stocks which rose in
price We're sold for London account
thus increasing the demand for ex-
change In payment. This months
transfers to currency through the sub
treasury to Chicago have now reach
ed $1,000, 900 compared with 100000 for
this time last year and to New Or
leans this months movement is 100000
against 10000. Reports from Chicago
indicate that heavy demands are MAX
ing on that center for currency from
Western and Northwestern points.
That the stock market is still well
in control by speculative interests was
demonstrated by the strength of the
Eastern trunk lines and by the revival
of strength in Missouri Pacific. The 6
point advance in Sugar was in the ma
ture of punishment to bear specula-
tors who have sold this stock short
very freely of late. The aggressive
rally in Colorado Fuel and the upward
rush i'll United States Steel at the
close to-day were suggestive of large
results. The closing was generally
SiSdQy.
The bond market was irregular. To-
tai sales, par value, $2,300,00 United
States bonds unchanged on the last
call.
