New Orleans Market.

New Orleans. July 15.-Spot cotton is
in fair demand with buyers and sellers
apart. Prices, while largely nominal and
without quotable changes. are shading
against sellers and lists are now being
moved only upon the bases of slight con-
cessions In favor of the purchasing ele-
ment. Sales 1915, including 400 f. o. b.
terms and 1926 to arrive. Quotations un-
changed.
Futures opened 1 to points down from
yesterdays level. The government crop
bulletin had been measurably discounted,
consequently when posted today there
was no further material change in the
range of values. At the close the board
figures showed net losses of to points
on the several months.

Chicago Change.

Chicago, July 15.-Bulls in the corn pit
who engineered the corner in October OPP
lions abandoned their position today, and
the yellow cereal, left to itself. fell from
its lofty price and houndered zoe under
yesterdays best figures. The causes were
attributed to the action of this market
the immense arrivals of corn tempted to
this mart by the fancy price and the set
tlement with many of the July shorts
by the Gates-New York bull clique of
corners. Whether the corner had been
broken or whether the action of the bull
party today is simply wait for the I'M

have it that the July deal is over and
all that remains to be done is for the bSll
crowd to get rid of the cash corn that
has been delivered to it. Naturally, most
of the interest in grain today conferred in
all other grains. Yet natural conditions
were bearish enough to break prices, and
fine weather and lower cables, besides
the heavy receipts, caused such general
selling in all the pits that September
wheat closed 1Q1Hc lower, September
corn 13s911ac down. July corn 1511c lower
and September oats A91c lower. Pro-
visions started strong but could not with
stand the pressure of the grain break and
closed a shade to zoe lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

STOCKS SHOOT
UP WITH A RUSH
An Appearance Of Confident
Demand from NewSOurCes
MARKET CLOSED HEAVY
Violent slump in Corn Market at Chi
Violent Slump In Corn Market at Chi
eago and Belief That Corner Was
Broken Had Much to Do
With the Break.

New York, July 15.-Prices OF stocks
started upwards with rush this morn
ing, apparently as an extension and
broadening of the buying movement
which became conspicuous yesterday in
the Changers and Pacifcs. There was
an appearance of confident demand from
new sources and the open selling of the
brokers which have been employed by
the western contingent during the re-
cent rise did not affect the strength OF
the market. This gave rise to the con-
viction that large capitalists who have
hitherto held aloof from the market
were coming in prepared to continue the
upward movement of stocks. There was
active realizing in Missouri Pacific and
in a few other stocks under cover of
this strength and the whole market ulti-
mately gave way.
There was a momentary check to the
downward effected by rally in Missouri
Pacific to a point over night, but the
market gave away again and reached
generally to below last nights close, only
few stocks on the list resisting the
downward tendency. The market closed
heavy and not far above the lowest. The
advance in Amalgamated Copper was in
expectation of action on the dividend
tomorrow. Stocks responded fractional
~ to the showing in the brief filed in
the reply to the suit against the COM
panys bond conversion plan A very
favorable weather map this morning and
a somewhat easier tone of money added
to the belief that important financial in
terests was newly embarked in the mar
ket. helped the morning advance.
The violent slump in the corn market at
Chicago and the belief that the integrity
that the corn corner was threatened had
much 20 do with the break in the market,
as it was feared that liquidation would
be forced in tho stock market to protect
The position in the corn market. With
the easing of the money rate came
hardening in the foreign exchange rate,
and relapse in the sterling rate at Paris,
which brought the international exchange
back to the old export point. At the
same time New York exchange at Chica-
go dropped back again from 25c discount
to 40c discount. There were, however, no
deposits of currency at the sub-treasury
for transfer to interior points. The sub
treasury has contributed thus far this
week to the money market I40hOOO Inc
time money market continues to harden,
but bankers are still disposed to keep
their funds ready to hand in call loans.
London turned buyer this morning here,
helping en- the advance and promising
some supply, also to the exchange mar
ket in payment for stocks. The threaten
Ing developments in the freight-handlers
strike at Chicago may have been an IN
fluence on the eaction in the market.

The Coffee Market.

New York, July 15.-Coffee futures
opened steady with prices points lower
to points higher. Shorts were active
bidders again through fear of another
upward rush of prices. such as occurred
Yesterday while longs dumped over
good deal of coffee purchased on the
upturn for profits thus creating an ir-
regular market all day, prices varying

sharp drop in the September option un-

ed better. This rain may extend to sec
lions needing moisture, In which event
the market would probably work lower
But there seems to be nothing in the sit
uation to sell on and we would rather
buy In declines and take profits than
stand short The price is practically the
same as that on June 4, so that there
has been no important condition in the
market In six weeks. We would not be
surprised If there was less than % points
decline in another six weeks. Feeling the
decline, If any, must be slow there is
more safety In buying in a break than
remargining short.
The progress of the market is not IA
vorable for big money on each side, and
may not be for some time. Rains are
beneficial and they We're spread over a
wider area today than before for some
time If the rain breaks the drouth there
would be little to induce buying.
In the decline today there was short
covering. Liverpool bought early fall

COTTON MARKET
STILL INACTIVE
Follows a Rut of Five Points
With Trade Tame
SPOT HOUSES LIGHT BUYERS
Throughout the Afternoon the Market
Was FeatureIess With Room Con-
tent to Await Further Weather
DeveIopments-close Quiet.

New York, July 15.-The cotton market
opened steady one point and one lower
and for the balance of the day followed
rut of five points with trade at all
times tame. The English cables cut little
figure as an influence, being regarded
as a stand off. The weather report gave
showers to moderate rains in the belt and
the forecast pointed to more precipitation
over the central and eastern sections
tonight and tomorrow.
Spot cotton houses were light buyers
of the July and August options during the
forenoon and Liverpool bought January.
Then came the weekly crop report from
Washington and noted a marked change
for the better in conditions as compared
with one week ago. However the trade
had discounted a favorable report and as
selling orders were scarce the statement
produced little or no effect on the market
which continued dull and narrow.
Throughout the afternoon the market
was featureless with the room quite con-
tenth to await further weather develop
ments in the belt and the cables from
Liverpool tomorrow. The close was quiet
with prices net unchanged to two points
lower.

There was also greater activity in the
