COTTON MARKET WEAK

New York, July 7.-The cotton market opened weak at an advance of points to a decline of points. The opening ad- vance was confined to August and almost immediately this option became sensa- tionally weak in common with the rest of the list under active selling for both accounts.
 It Is a matter of common report that a powerful Wall street pool has been formed for the opposing of any further advance in prices and the selling by this interest was exceedingly heavy.
 August which had opened at 11.6s, sold down to 11.1s without a pause, while July. which had opened at 11.75, sold down to 11.e0 and on the call was next reported at 11.5O September opening at 106O, sold down to 10.49 without any re- action, and the balance of the list was also weak, though not showing such broad movements.
 From this level the market was rallied slightly, August regaining about 30 points of its loss under buying by local commits sion houses who were credited with talk ing 2O,0OO bales for the account or the New Orleans pool but the improvement was of short duration and was followed by another sharp break which left prices at midday at the lowest level of the ses- sion, showing a net loss of 25Q61 points. Since last Thursday evening before the publication of the governments July re- port the decline to the lower level of to- days session was a matter of from 52 to 174 points or of from $2.50 to $S70 bale. This naturally afforded big profits to the shorts and following the reading of the weekly report of the weather bureau which proved rather less bearish than had been expected the market turned firmer under covering and further sup port from the bull pool under which prices regained from Il to 25 points of their earlier losses. The close was about steady net 12 to 36 points lower. Sales estimated 50O,0O0 bales.

The New Southern Baseball League.
Indications are that the new South
ern Baseball league will be a winner
The men and cities interested in the
enterprise are very enthusiastic con
corning it, and as the league is being
initiated under the direction of COM
petent baseball authorities there is no
reason why it should not experience
successful career.
The new league takes in eight cities.
The salary limit of each club will be
$500, with the understanding that the
limit is to be increased to $500 if de-
sired. Concerning the attitude of that
aggressive minor league organization,
the American association. Charles
Frank, who is to manage the New Or
leans team of the new circuit, has stat
ed that the Americans will not seek to
disrupt the league. He is certain that
the association will consent to remain
on amicable terms with the newly born
league.
The location ana managers of the
teams of the new Southern league are
as follows:
Charleston. Managers Charles Cam
pau and Ed Pabst; Savannah, r. l.
Gilks; Atlanta, Thomas O. Brien; Mont
gomery, Ala. Lew Whistler; Memphis
Theodore Breitenstein; Birmingham,

nah. was formerly manager of the To-
ledo American association team. Thorn

Atlanta. Last year he was manager of
the Albany team that captured the pen
nant in the New York State league.
Charles Campau, who is to be a side
partner of PabSt at Charleston is IA
vOrably known in baseball circles. He
finished second to O'Brien in the New
York State league last season with the
Binghamton club. The remaining man
ayers are well known throughout the
entire south. Breitenstein was former
