 with !, q xz.ooo in teoo during the correspond- ine period, IL viii Dc remembered that in 1900 the statistical position was considered the strongest on record up to that time; therefore as Tor many weeks this years statistical situ- ation was presumably stronger than even in
 300 The above figures demonstrate how fal- laesous that opinion hes been. The total vis- ible fuppiy this year shows an excess of 4et,- 900 over 800 and the American Is practically the same as that season. yet July today Is s6. against 1o22 for the same time in 800 August I2s5, against s.9o in 1900 and September to.ee. against 6. es in 1900. In other woris. July s 274 points over values existing during the, corresponding period in
 800. August Is 29S points over and Septem- Der Ise points over. notwithstanding the fact that the present statistical position Is con- siderabiy weaker than 1t was in 1900 The cir culation of this date and better agricultural bureau report than expected. combined with generally fair weather throughout the belt caused heavy liquidation to over-bought market and superinduced the sharp decline today. While tho weakening of the statistical situation and the nominal demand for spots may occasion a further decline the near crop months, we. however. think the Winter months are in a healthier position and think well of buying them on all sharp breaks.

[By Prlvate Leaved wire.l


 NEW YORK. July 6.--Cables were quite satisfactory today and the bull element who were. confident were much encouraged Local sentiment which was quite unsettled at the close on Friday because of the slight gain in the bureau condition was more hopeful after dizeation. Furthermore the weather the close of the last week was entirely too wet. Extreme bulls were claiming very poor re- suits and probably disaster from the Texas downpour The general idea In best informed circles was that Texas rains may null tpfy weevil and the calculations of hopeful bull speculators Is that the loss to the Texas crop by weevfl this year may exceed last year. Selling of September on a liberal scale unsettled the market during the morning and the general list suffered thereby. The weather was fair in most sections and showery condi- tions were forecasted for Texas: speculation on the whole was quite moderate Both sides were apparently unprepared to go on. although the undertone seemed to be developing strength. but bears were growing rather boder. Before long September weakened and August also and New Orleans was letting go so 1t was suspect ed. The appearance of the market was any thing but weak. Cables were irregular at point advance.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. July 6.-Light offerings caused strength in grains today and September wheat closed Ihc higher. with corn E higher and oats up lbQlh. Provisions were easier the September products closing from 10 to Sc lower.
 A reaction occurred in wheat and although trading was quiet prices were strong through out the entire session. The opening was higher on sharp advance In the July option at Liv- erpool and on the rather discouraging foreign advices, the reports from Russia being quite bullish. September was up hQ% at 75h675M at the start and with good commission house demand with little for sale the market be- came stronger September advancing to 75% G75%. Later the offerings became freer much of the early gain was lost. September declin- ing to 75975h. but during the last hour the buying was renewed and the market again advanced A decrease in the visible supply of l ,4Se, 900 bushels was partly responsible for the better demand late In the day. After sell ing up to 76, September closed lh higher at 7s1s. clearanees equal to @ Sss' 300 bushels against i.sss,soo bushels a year ago Re; letpts. 5l cars. contract: Minneapolis and Duluth reported 73l. total for the three points of 752, against SAY last week and l.- o56 year ago.
 and there was a good general demand the greater part of the day. Although the weather conditions favorable for the growing crop, many traders seem inclined to the belief that the crop is still very backward and com mission houses bought freely under this in- fuence Offerings were scattered and prices readily responded to the urgent demand. After selling between 5I% and 5o%. September closed s higher at SIX. Receipts, I,o65 cars, 93 contract.
 Oats were also influenced by the unfavora ble crop reports from the country and active cover ing by local shorts together with buying for investment account caused strong market. The strength in other grains was aa additional bull feature Offerings were light the entire day. September closed with a gain of lh9 IIi at 35, after selling between 337s and 35. Receipts, 497

q tk5y PrfvNte wire From C. W. Lee Q COL
 NEW YORK. July 6.-while both December and January sold at e.7o or under today. tho decline In these two options was slight com ternber. Since the GovernHient report appeared these three have declined about a cent pound As said last week we should bc very much disappointed if the new crop failed Co decline to about 9k-cent basis. It now looks very much as though we would have no cause for such disappointment. Tn fact. 1t may turn out that figure Is altogether too modest. At any rate. there is nothing in the present position of the market to induce the purchase of cotton. We very much doubt whether any crop has ever made the progress that this cotton crop has made in the past two weeks Give the cotton belt two weeks more dafion for the biggest crop this country has ever produced Under these conditions the av craze trader Is not very much inclined to buy cotton at the present level. It will be remem- befed that December and January were sali- ing around 9h cents when the June report was received. After that came the bulge 10 70. SO: for this reason we are quite inclined to believe that the full effects of the recent July report have not been experienced. That ia, prices ought certainly to work back to the basis from which the advance started and If the weather continues. so below that level.
 A feature of the morning was the enormous init our inability to fathom the meaning of today's operations. Whatever. they may mean, the clique has it's hands full in any attempt to control the market for the rest of the sea- son. The break brings the price to better level but we advise caution for a few days longer and let us see if the new crops cannot be forced back below a oh-cent level.

MARKETS FOR FUTURES
HEAVY LIQUIDATION CREDITED
 TO THE BULL POOL.
August Shows the Greatest :. eakness on the Break-At the Close Prices Were Of from l2
 to S4 Points.

NEW YORK, July 6-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 4II0 points
 under hrmer cables and reports of floods and. heavy rains in Texas. but after interval of comparative frmne1s became very active and excited under heavy liquidation credited to the bull pool which action attracted consid- erable local bear pressure. The result was very severe break with August showing lead ing weakness On the call this position had sold at 5S and was sold of to H.. 70 before the end of the first hour. this being loss of e6 points. July sold at ii.75 and September de- ciined 70 points from the best of the morning before the first outburst of selling subslded. when the market steadied slightly, regaining about 5@l2 points of it's early loss but showed every indication Of extreme nervous ness and uncertainty. Tn some quarters 1t was believed that the heavy New Orleans selling noted during the decline wsa s foreru..ner vf the end and that the clique had become alarmed over the improvement in the crop out look were actually attempting to get out. knowing their heavy holdings of spot cotton. On the whole there were those who were dis posed to believe that the break had been new short interest with the expectation that a show of renewed frmness the part Of the clique woulc again send values kiting and Force these shorts to cover. In the last hour. however. the market again became very weak under further New Orleans selling and this time Wall Street houses were heavy sellers of August and September. apparently renecting their confidence in the retreat of the bull pool. Under this combined pressure prices were soon down to . new low level for the session. Au- gust selling at | i.6i. September 10 6s and De- cember 9.7o.

REVENUE
BILL
Will Be Framed and In

Taxing Telephone, Express
andRefrigeratOr COmpanie:
on Gross Earnings

After careful consideration OF
both the Mulkey and Harris bills to
provide for the assessment of tele-
phone and telegraph companies, oil
companies and refrigerator companies
and also express companies on their
gross valuation of both tangible and
intangible property, astshown by the
market reports, the joint committee
on assessment and taxation decided
to report neither bill at the present
time. but a subcommittee was ap
pointed to frame a new bill, looking
toward a taxation of such companies
along the line of their gross incomes
The Mulkey bill, senate bill No. 30
and the Harris bill, No. 1863, which
we're along the same lines, proposed
that a state board should ascertain
the values Of such companies, and, af
ter deducting the value Of the tangi
bic property, should report to the va
rious counties throughout the. state
their share on which an assessment
might be levied Representatives oi
the companies concerned opposed
these measures. protesting against
such tax, and It was finally conclud
ed to drop the bills at the present.
AS 81 was understood when the com.
mitec adjourned, a new bin will be
framed. by which the tax will be on
the earnings Of these companies, and
that this bill will be proposed as
substitute.
