NEW YORK. June 1S.-Leaders OF the

any time since the campaign was 1naugu-

was a material increase in activity. the

bulk Of the operations was attributed to
the Western speculative party. which was
credited yesterday with having secured

The distress of the shorts in the corn
market then seemed to give added effecs
to the demonstration in the stock mar
ket but the sharp reaction later in corn
did not alter materially the tone of the
stock market. The news OF the day was
rather adverse to the rise in stocks. For
instance the calling Of a national con-
vention of coal miners in Indianapolis
must be regarded as increasing the prob

soft ccal miners. On whatp rinciple this

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK. June 1S.-The cotton market
opened firm with prices 3@6 points higher on
bullish Liverpool cables and no signs of rain in
the western belt on the initial Gather chart.
The shorts OF yesterday covered up eagerly,
fearing pronounced reaction from the recent
severe break. Wall Street interests appeared
to be covering up short accounts in the sum-
mer months, but were noticed to be selling the
late positions. Following the call July was bid
up to S.5S and August to $40, with sentiment
for the moment quite bullish. Liverpool and the
South sent moderate buying orders here and
sellers were scarce at best.
Then came reports Of soaking rains over the
grea ter portion OF the central belt and over the
northern section Of tho western belt. while the
official forecast indicated showers generally ex-
cept In portions Of Texas and In some sections
OF the South. Atlantic States. Liquidation at

A sharp break in the New Orleans market, with
private kilograms reporting rain in the central
belt, helped to weaken the market. Prices
rapidly declined until last nights figures were
reached when profttaking for time checked
the downward movement. But In the early
afternoon heavy selling for both accounts once
more weakened the market, and throughout the
last hour prices made but feeble rallies from
the bottom. Reports that spot cotton was Of
