STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June ia comparison of
to-day's last prices with the last prices
last night gives no idea of the wide
fluctuations in the days market. The
principal speculative favorites this
morning were from 1 to over points
lower than last night, and within a
range running from a fraction to be-
tween and points of the low level

cases.
The days net gains, while generally
small, therefore. represent a very sub
stantial recovery from the low point of
the day. But when it was attempted
to rush prices up late in the day 10
much above last nights level, pressure
fell back The closing, however, was
firm, but very dull. and near the top

New York, June 1.-THE cotton mar
ket opened to 10 points lower This
was not surprising when we remember
that yesterdays and Saturdays adj
vance were quite rapid. Trading was
on a large scale. Cables were quite
disappointing when we opened, and this
scared weak longs. The weather In
the South was a good deal better. and
bears were pretending that a couple
of weeks sunshine would work won

ever, has been so very cool and we are
now so far advanced in the season that
il 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

diminished confidence. The market
steadied somewhat after. the opening,
but speculation was on a moderate

New York, June 16.-Our market
opened with sales of August at 11.S4c,

after selling at 11.S0@11.S1c ruled at

respond to our advance Of yesterday
showing indications of being disposed
to take profits rather than buy more.
Probably the indications of better
weather over the cotton belt brought
this change in feeling. Yesterdays
advance carried prices to a high level
which required more bad weather to
sustain values. The weekly bureau
was a poor one but not so poor as ex-
pected il would have been construed
very bullish If the weather had not
changed for the better. Local traders
expect a little lower market but are
afraid to go short, however, after
such a phenomenal advance we should
have a reaction. Selling by recent
buyers of new crop positions closed
the market barely steady at about the
lowest Sharp decline expected from
Liverpool tomorrow. The spot mar
ket was quiet, 80 points decline.

rs casks. The demand was regarded as
good throughout the day. Both for
eign and domestic exporters were in
the market. and while there was no
spirited bidding for supplies the de-
mand was steady and satisfactory.
Much talk has been heard of late as
to the best plan to adopt to maintain
SaVannah's receipts, and to keep the
movement in its old channels as much
as possible. The Board of Trade has
been prominently mentioned as the
best and most influential body to d.
rect any movement in Savannah's be-
half, but up to now no official action
has been taken in any direction. To-
days receipts of spirits were 1,7S4 casks,
and the exports none.
ROSINS.-The rosin market opened
firm, sales 367 barrels, and closed firm
and unchanged, no sales. Receipts
were 4.307 barrels. and the exports

cotton market there was very little do

months opened at last evenings clos

were to 16 points lower. The fluctu-
atoms were fairly wide and frequent.
The market was rather a tame affair

Of the past few days. The dizziness
was due to liquidation. Added to the
weight of liquidation was a much more
favorable map than has been seen for
long time in the cotton belt. The
market was very quiet at the close, the
board showing net losses on the en-
tire list. June was down 5 points, July
