NEW YORK, June 16.-The cotton future market opened up in a normal fashion today, the first prices being about expected at an advance of to 10 points.

Lverpools weakness was feature on in- huence, especially there is some un- certainty to the exact market position of the foreign element Local longs unloaded on generous scale and shorts added to their lines. hammering the list quite vigorously at times.

The weekly government report less bullsh than expected, though it reflected a late crop-one that will in all probability be subject to many dangers later on. The spot markets were steady today though dull with a moderate demand. The spinners news without special feature. though there were conflicting advices with regard to the cloth trade. The late speculative market was irregular and nervous with quite a lot of selling in evidence on all rallies or firm dDOtS.

A. S. Baxter G Co.'S Cotton Letter.
 Drt,,

NEW YORK, June 16.-The cotton market opened to 19 points lower. This was not sur prising when we remember that yesterday s and Saturdays advance were quite rapid. Trad ing was on a large scale Cables were quite disappointing when we opened and thk scared weak longs The weather in the Sonth was a good deal better and bears were pretending that a couple of weeks sunshine would work wonders with the crop and change its outlook rapidly that people would imagine there were chances for bumper crop after all. The weather. however, has been very cool and now so far advanced in the season that 1t is hard to see how the crop can pick up so rapidly as to insure its loss by an early frost and on this theory bulls are holding onto their position with undmnished confidence. The market steadied somewhat after the open ing but speculation was moderate scale and both sides preferred to await the bureaus s report. Meanwhile crop reports of mixed character were coming in through private sources The bureau report was rather better than looked for. and the market sold off on 1t a few points but the report on the whole was regarded not justifying any recessions of importance.

 Futures were unsettled. The summer months opened at last evenings closing figures but the new crop positions were 9d16 points lower The fluctuations fairly wide and ire quent The highest and lowest prices of the day were July 1S.4e to 1857. August 1924 to 13 37, September IL 39 to II 60, October 10 g to 1o.4s, November 9.s4 to 1O12, December ssO to 1913 and January s.90 to 1012 The market was rather a tame affair when compared with the conditions of the past few days. The dull ness was due to liquidation. The chief cause of worry on the part of all traders was as to who was responsible for the liquidation. Ca bles reached the market early in the day. say; ing that the Egyptian clique was selling Soon after other, cables were received emphatically denying that this was the case and that all the liquidation was being done by Liverpool longs, and the Egyptian crowd were standing pat Added to the weight of liquidation was a much more favorable map than has been seen for a long time in the cotton belt. The market was very quiet at the close. the board showing net losses on the entire list. June was down 5 points, July Il. August 13 and the winter months were 27 to 90 points lower.

o. E. Pierce G Co.'s Cotton Letter. TBy Private Wire Wrom C. w La A Ca 1

NEW YORK, June 16-It looks very much as if the load on the new crop had grown to more than the market can stand. When the price moves in defiance of news 1t is about time to call a halt. Evidently some such feel ing prevailed to extent sufficient to bring about a decided change in tone of today's cot ton market Things were reactionary both here and in Liverpool and a great deal of cotton market In some quarters a very bad bureau report was expected at midday. but as far as the showing itself was concerned 1t could hardly be regarded in the same catalogue as those issued during the early part of May. It evidently was not bad as some of the more emotional had feared and as a result cotton came on the market. Looking at the cotton situation broadly and 1t would seem as though prices were inflated in every direction One thing after another has encouraged the advance in prices of last years crop and in the excitement conditions surrounding the growing crop have appeared really worse than they are. It is highly improbable that any such level as 10h and 10 level as 0h61oIa can be maintained for indefinite period Weather conditions cannot always be as bad as they have been and when the new crop be- gins to come in no such level that existing today could continue. For this reason we re- gard the advance having discounted more than anything that is known concerning the next crop. Anyone buying cotton at this level might easily be compelled to suffer under a reaction of cent pound if not more. Unless something sensational takes place in the next few weeks we look for a declining in the next crop months.

Stimulating Growth Of Trees.

a new method of forcing the growth OF
trees has been lately put to the test OF
experiment in the Crimea, supplying trees
with the food necessary for their growth
thru the trunk, thus dispensing with the
slow process of nature, which can only
work by means of the roots. Salts of iron,
either in liquid or solid form, have been
introduced by cutting a hole in the stem.
An account of these proceedings has been
recently read before the Imperial Botani-
cal society of ST. Petersburg. The sys-
tenn has been applied to 800 fruit trees,
and photographs showing that it had
quite fulfilled the expectations. The Por-
ter Steam Heating plants always come UP
to expectations. Cheap, durable and eco
