NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. July 24.-The strength
OF late positions on the cotton exchange
this morning. in the face OF showers in
Mississippi was evidence that the
crowd went home short last night. With
cables steadier. Il required but little
support by the bull element 20 start
covering and prices advanced from the
opening. Soon after the call. September
sold eight points higher than last night.
July declined five points. selling at 1925.
and August was unchanged. In addition
TO the early demand from shorts. mod
crate new buying was noted, chiefly OF
the autumn months and this helped TO
absorb whatever cotton was on sale as a
result OF predicted showers over the
Western belt tonight and tomorrow. al
though around 1915 o'clock. with cables
g shade easier. the actions OF the bulls
we're less aggressive. Eventually. mod
crate realizing led 10 a setback all
around TO about yesterdays closing level
About 5000 July notices were issued this
morning and were stopped by promi-
nent local house.
At noon the market was very feyerish
with prices we'll under the close OF last
night. as a result of ftful liquidation.
Supporting orders we're few and far be-
tween and sentiment in the pit was OF
bearish average. The trade seemed salts
fed that the crop was doing well and
that prices were too high. However, the
more conservative operators were seen
TO be quietly picking up cotton for q
rally later in the day. The weakness OF
the stock market helped 10 check new
buying for the time being.

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Liquidation Still Running Its CONSEQUENTLY All Issues
DePressed-Recessions Ranging From Frac-
tons to Several Points.

NEW YORK, July 24.-New low records
were made in the stock market this
morning. following a renewal Of the
heavy liquidating sales which have been
so prominent for some weeks past. Steel
stocks sold down to 21%: st. Paul to
1874; American Locomotive TO 16; Wa
bash to 20; Copper to 3s and Car Foun-
dry to 30. There were numerous other
sharp breaks and at 1880 o'clock the
market reflected decidedly weak tone.
The actual news was favorable and
the cause OF the liquidation, as for some
time past, remained unexplained.
There was wild excitement on the floor
as the wave of liquidation swept along
and the air was full Of rumors of collapse
and failure.
The only question which Wall Street
appeared to concern itself with this
morning was the personalities of those
persons whose liquidation swept like a
wave across the stock market. The
Government weather report showed that
considerable relief had been given in
the case OF the extreme hot weather
which has recently prevailed through
Western crop regions. heavy selling
movement set in shortly after the mi
tial dealings, st. Paul breaking 1% per
cent. a new low record. Other stocks
which declined below the low level OF
the last week were Atchison. Rock ISL
and. Missouri Pacific, Wabash preferred.
Union Pacific. and Southern Pacific. Do
clines Of 1 per cent and over were nu-
merous. but resistance to the general

Realty stocks. influenced by reassuring
statements regarding the company's con-
dition. exhibited more steadiness. In
the last fifteen minutes, however, many
issues developed fresh weakness, and
liquidation still appears to be in prog
ress. Government bonds unchanged;
railroad bonds lower. in sympathy with
weakness in stocks.
Noon-London houses bought fully
q. 900 shares of stock. The market has
shown the effect of acutely forced liqui-
dation on a scale exceeded at no time
during the entire movement.
The most conspicuous sellers around
the room have been Harris Gates and
Charles Minzensheimer & Co. These
firms apparently have acted in unison.
On the other hand the good buying OF
stocks has greatly increased. and a large
proportion of it is for Investment. The
professional buying is not especially
conspicuous.

possible that the influence of a pro-

1t Is reported on good authority that
an agreement has been reached with the

There is a good deal of gossip in Wall
Street today that much of the liquida-
tion this week has been for the account
OF a wealthy operator who, ii is said,
was carrying over $50, 600 shares OF stock,
and although he is associated with some
of the strongest interests in the street
the severe depression in prices and the
straining of credits generally. and the
the difficulty of borrowing time money
and raising Immediately more collateral
neccssitated the liquidation of most of
his holdings The name of the operator
is withheld for obvious reasons and the
only definite information given is that
some of his loans had to be paid of and
that his account was a personal one and
was lodged with several houses and
consisted chiefly of the Steel stocks.
A canvass of brokerage houses seems
TO Indicate the existence of an enormous
general short interest in the market.
Former bulls are bearing stocks with as
great vim as they bought them last year.
Several houses say their customers are
short anywhere from 10000 to $4,000
shares. Estimates as to the general short
interest range from 500, COO TO 200, 900.
In respect to the strength of the Steel
Trust shares it can be said on authority
that the heaviest buying came from in
side interests. and that this is based on
assurance that the dividend on he COM
mon stock will be continued at The pres
ent rate indefinitely. During the day
this private dispatch was received from
Chicago by Mcintyre & Marshall
Our Minneapolis correspondent wires
that he saw J. J. Hill yesterday, and in
conversation with him in reference TO
the dividend on Steel common, he said
