 NE wYORK. July i.-The extent of last weeks rains in Texas and the effect the crop Is still felt in cotton speculation. Of the immense benefit of the moisture. there is no longer any doubt. Most sections of the State report changed conditions arising from the rain and few sections escaped the down pour which in many instances was in the ma ture of soakers. So far as regards Texas that State is regarded safe for some weeks to come when rain will again be a matter of some importance. Some accounts are that high winds in Texas have hurt the crop while there is also a suspicion that Arkansas has been having too much rain and there is also a feel ing that Mississippi and portions of Louisiana are still in need of rain Speculation halts pending something with reluctance to do much before the monthly bureau figures Gue on July 3rd. The South today was generally clear. Light rains fell at Little Rock and Memphis. Various authorities issued reports of the crop condition, but as they did not cover the recent Texas rains. were regarded as vaueless. Prices opened 2q5 points lower on small business and varied slightly up to noon. The weekly bureau report was rather more bullish for some sections than expected and the effect on the market was a slight i'm provement. Port receipts were estimated at 2, 900 against I2,00O.

 NEW ORLEANS, July I.-Liverpooi advices ket opened 204 points lower declined ad- ditionaf on few selling orders. but subse- quently reacted 10 points from the bottom on the weekly weather report not being as fla vorable as anticipated Neither the close values sold off slightly. making the net gain points on August and 36p4 on all other months except July which was practically un- changed. The summary of the weekly weather reports was as follows: Cotton continues to suffer for rain in the south central port .ons of the cotton belt and drought conditions had rapidly developed over the greater part of Georgia where the crop is in less favorable condition than in the previous week. Over the northern portion of the central and east ern districts more favor able conditions ex- ist. Although lice are extensively reported throughout the central and eastern portions the feature of the week was the abundant rainfall over the greater part of the thought region of Texas in which condition co ton has been greatly improved. Drought, how ever. continues In extereme Northwestern and Southwestern Texas The bureau report will be issued on July 3rd at 8. m,, New Or ton up to June 25th. Therefore the bene- icial rains in Texas, Arkansas. Tennessee and Northern Louisiana which took place on the 27th. 18th and 2oth will not be included Such being the case, it is generally believed that the average condition of the bureau may esomewhat under former expectations This impression and the less favorable weekly weather report than looked for occasioned the firmness existing today. The market will be ruled from now on principally by daily wealth CT conditions.

Mississippi. Alabama and Georgia and indi- eating that rain is still badly needed in South western and northwestern portions of Texas. Closing quotations are sos points higher than yesterday Traders were not prepared for such information as was furnished in the weekly report. The impression had spread generally that the condition of the crop was app. oac h. ing perfection and the news that the central belt is now suffering severely from drought came somewhat in the nature of a shock. There is no disposition to act seriously an this feature for the present, but 1t has served to check indi. criminate selling and has brought with it a realization of how easily the unex- pected can hapnen,

Rally Towards Midday on Covering by scalpers--At the Close Prices Were Points Lower
 to 3 Higher.

NEW YORK, July I.-The cotton market opened steady in tone. but fell to points lower in sympathy with disappointing Liverpool cables and generally bearish private crop reports. Later the whole market eased off under selling for both accounts with August on to 8. 26. The late Liverpool cables were more bearish than the early advices and Flu rope sent selling orders to the local ring. The south too. sold cotton here during the first hour. Toward midday there was rally on covering by scalpers who rather feared possible adverse weekly crop weather statement from Washington. The loai,ne was not active at any time during the forenoon and as rule the conservative element evened up trades pending receipts of the monthly crop state inent from the Government next Thursday ami the passing of the holidays at the end of the week. Soon after midday the weekly report came to hand and showed much less favor able crop outlook than had been expected. Drought was mentioned for parts of the cen tral belt and Northwestern and Southwestern Texas. sharp movement to cover caused advance throughout the list. but the later absence of speculative support allowed prices to ease of again In the last hour shorts cov- cred in fear of higher cables tomorrow. though the July option hung limp and dropped off to 9.67 or l3 points under the last night close The market was finally steady and net g points lower to 3 points higher.

 FIRM UNDERToNE.
The Taking Effect of the Repeal of the War Taxes is Favorable Feature from Every Point
 of View.

NEW YORK. July i-There was not much increase, of interest in todsy's stock market, but the firm undertone was maintained and number of important stocks were advanced The opening prices were very generally lower done to the grain crop by yesterdays storm Today's weather map and the somewhat senSa- tional advices in wheat gave color to the fears or the wheat crop The news of com damage was taken less account of. It was attributed in part to sympathy with wheat and in large part to the heavy speculative commitments which are supposed to threaten a correr in corn. The damsge wrought by wet weather to wheat fs supposed to be balanced by the ad- vantage Of cotton and there signs of strength among the cotton carriers. This helped Missouri Pacific also. There were fears would be r repeated today and ,he .o decline s in the call loan rate after opening at per cent. helped the recovery in stocks. The action Of the Rock Island directors in giving their stock holders the right to subscribe at par for new stock to the amount of i2h per cent. of their holdings caused spurt in that stock and gaining its point loss and Chicago and North western raliyins from point loss to point points to POI without solution of the mys- tery of the. ultimate disposition of the road. during the day and sugar had another upward movement. The coal carriers were neglected or easy, especially the soft coal roads. The strike of the Pacific machnists and the threat of the Chicago freight handlers to go on strike had depressing effect during the morn war taxes is favorable feature in Wall Street from every point of view. A long list of railroad bonds sold ex-interest today but 1t is not probable much of the large dis bursement on that account found its way di- rectly back into the money market. An lm- portant influence in todays market was an increase, of capital of largest bank in the city. which made available an increase of loan re- sources today of about si6 COG. GOO. The turn of the half year made itself manifest in the London stock, but Sterling exchange at Paris promptly fell ihc immediately. Exchange here was steady to firm. In connection with New York large indebtedness to foreign money mar kets The London Statist points out the impor- tant fact that there is an inclination on the part of the French capitalists to embark in promising American enterprises This Is inclination that has been conspicuously lacking heretofore in spite of the large amount of French capital represented here in loans.
