New York July 6.-While both December
and January sold at 9.70, or under today.
the decline in these two options was
slight compared with the break in July.
August and September Since the govern
ment report appeared these three options
have declined about a cent a pound. AS
we said last week we should be very
much disappointed if the new crops failed
to decline to about 912c. basis. 1t now
looks as though we would have no cause
for such disappointment. In fact, it may
turn out that our figures are too moderate.
Any any rate, there is nothing in thr
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 mas
made in the past two weeks Give the
cotton belt two weeks more of similar
weather and there will be foundation for
the biggest crop this country has ever
produced Under these conditions the
average trader is not inclined to buy cot
ton at present 1t will be remembered
that December and January We're selling
around 91zc. when the June report was
received. After that came the bulge to
TO- 30 For this reason we are inclined to
believe that the full effects of the recent
July report have not yet been experienced.
That is, prices certainly ought to work
back to the basis from which the adj
vance started, and if the weather con
tinues good, go below that level. A feature
of the morning was the enormous selling
by the bull clique We are free to admit
our inability to fathom the meaning OF
today's operations. Whatever they may
mean. the clique has its hands full in any
attempt to control the market for the rest
of the season. The break brings the price
to tempting level, but we would exer-
else patience for few days longer ard
let us see whether the new crops can't be
forced below 91zc.
Cotton futures today ranged as follows:

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, July 6.-The explanation was
offered of the extreme dullness of last
Fridays market that many members who
wanted a holiday ON Friday had ignored
the session of the exchange and had gene
away on vacation trips. This explanation
was supplemented today by the further
suggestion that the members have not
yet returned from their vacations. There
is very little more to be said OF the days
market, which showed no larger aggre-
gate of transactions than that of last
Friday. The few members present on
the floor were almost idle and the small
trading among themselves was hstless and
inconsequential. There was an almless
drift of prices downwards then upwards
and finally yielding, making the closing
tone easy but the average level was at
no time far away from last weeks clCs
ing Part of the dizziness was attribrt
able to diversion of speculative interest
into the cotton market. Wall Street was
reported to have made important opera
tions in that market during the day, put
ting out short lines and, it was supposed
contributing to the sharp break n that
market. The settling of the call money
rates marked the passing of the temper
airy demand for the July ! settlement.
This failed to stimulate any demand for
| funds for speculation in stocks.
/ The regular reports of railroad earnings
made some fattering showings, but the
only stock to respond appreciably was
Norfolk and Western. That roads earn
ings for the fourth week in June showed
an increase ever the same period of last
year of S253,20. or so per cent. nGm-
Der of Coalers, Southwesterns and Great
Northern also showed large increases n
gross earnings. On the other hand the
Norfolk and Westerns report of net earn
| iDgs for May showed small remainder
OF the increase In gross earnings, owinc
TO the enhanced operating expen se and
Denver and Rio Grande's net ea'nngs
for the same period showed a decrease Of
over % per cent. The days weakness il

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, July 6.-The cotton market
opened firm at an advance of 1910 points
under firmer cables and reports of floods
and heavy rains in Texas, but after an
interval of comparative firmness became
very active and excited under heavy h
quidation credited to the bull pool which
also attracted considerable bear pressure.
The result was very severe break with
August showing leading weakness. On
call this position has sold at 12.55, and
was sold off to lilo before the end OF
the first hour. this being a loss OF S5
points; July sold at Ills and September
declined 7g points from the best of the
morning before the first outburst of sell
ing subsidized
gaining 5 to IL points of its early loss,
but showed every indication of extreme
nervousness and uncertainty In some
quarters it was believed that the heavy
New Orleans selling noted during the
decline was forerunner of the end and
that the clique had become alarmed over
the Improvement in the crop outlook, were
actually attempting to get out. notwith-
standing their heavy holdings of spot cot
ton. On the other hand there were those
who were disposed to believe that the
break had been brought about for the
purpose of attracting a new short inter
est with the expectation that a show of
renewed firmness on the part of the
clique would 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 rejecting their
confidence in the retreat of the bull pool.
Under this combined pressure prices were
soon down to new level for the session.

Plant Roses.

1t has long been a popular be-
lief with u people that roses
would not grow here, bat that is a
fallacy. Mrs. G.. NJ. Scribner has,
in her front yard at the Campbell
residence, OF the east side of the
river, a yellow rose bush that is
now in full bloom. 1t contained
the astonishing number of 100
buds and is a mass of yellow
beauty. 1t was planted there sew
erul years ago by Mrs. Alexander
NUM-, when she resided in Sara
toga, and it has hourished and be-
come a strong and hardy bush.
This should be encouraging to our
good housewives to persevere in
the planting of outdoor flowers
and shrubs.
