New Orleans, June 16-Weakness In
spot markets and probabilities of move
ment of new cotton being very large dur
Ing July and August caused values for
actual cotton and future contracts to
seek lower level today. Futures at
Liverpool ruled steadier than expected

on far months but spots there were lower

In early hours local iaarket was disposed
to do better after opening about same
as last nights closing. July at II. 65. Octo-
Der 9.43 but weather conditions were too
favorable to encourage buying for in
vestment What little buying that took
place was for account of shorts, October
after declining to $40, advancing to . So
Summer positions were not near so steady
as were new crop deliveries and were I'M
favoraby affected by longs selling out
on report from San Antonio, Tex, to af-
feet that Devine, Medina county. Texas,
would be in receipt of or 10 bales within
the next ten days. We also received
wire from Texas stating that San Diego,
Duyal county, Texas, would receive a new
bale by Saturday and that picking was
going on in that section. Brownsvilles
two new bales arrived at Galveston today
thirty-three days earlier than last year
So far three counties in southwest Texas
promise early cotton which indicates crop
to be opening In scattered localities, maxi
ing 1t possible for new bales to multiply
at rapid rate when picking gets under
way. 1t was not until the 18th of July
that Texas marketed her first bale at
Galveston last season and it was twenty
days later before Texas delivered her
second new bale. it arriving at Houston

nished one on August 4. 1t Is said that
15O, 600 bales of new cotton would be mar
keted before September /.
Last year there were only 1894 bales
marketed prior to September l. whereas
largest amount ever marketed since 1898
and which is probably the record, was
165.9o9 bales in 1896 when conditions of
crop was about the same as 1t Is today,
but followed by drouth There was
every indication of dry weather remaining
for several days yet and as there was no
demand for spots to speak OF traders
sold market off in afternoon on promises
of new bales, July falling to 1.3S Octo-

EARLY TRADING
WAS IRREGULAR
Prices Eased OFF Immediately
After the Call
CROPS ARE IN FINE SHAPE
Inere Was Heavy selling In the
Last Few Minutes and the
Market Closed Barely
Steady.


| New York, June 16-The cotton market
opened quiet with first prices showing ir-
regularity. The old crop was a little high
| er on covering as a result of firm cables.
while the new crop was depressed some
what by the exc ellent weather, the range
being points higher to points lower
Immediately following the call there was
some liquidation and prices eased off a
few points, showing in the first few min
utes a net decline Of to points, with
July selling at II. 90, August at 1854, Octo-
Der at 9.63 and December 1854.
But while the weather map showed gen.
orally perfect growing conditions, and pri-
vate advices from the south indicated
very favorable crop progress, there was
renewal of the demand here from spot
houses noted on yesterday, and with the
cables showing continued irmness, the
local bear element seemed slow to in
crease their commitments. On the con-
trary there was some covering, and while
the south continued to sch, prices during
the middle session crept slowly upward
led by The old crop months, which came in
for steady, if small, buying movement,
and which seemed to be very sparingly Of
fered.
At any rate, July in the early afternoon
sold at IL 43, or 20 points up from the
bottom, while August rallied to .06; Oc-
tober to 9.75, and December to $3.50, net
gains of from 5 to IA points. In the last
few minutes there was heavy selling by
leading room operators and houses, with
.,s-I I'D ami
oased of, closing barely steady at un-
changed prices to a decline of 4 points
on all positions except January, which
was net points higher. Sales were es-
timated at 600 bales, representing a
considerable less interest in the market
than Of late. There was some talk of new
crop cotton being received in Texas with
two bales reported at Galveston, which,
however, were supposed to be the same as
those recently reported from Brownsville,
while receipts from the general crop are
not expected any earlier than the aver
age.
Receipts of cotton at the ports today
were 1875 bales against 1890 last week and
s,60S last year. For the week, 1900 against
ID. PA Mast week, and Il, 405 last year. To
days receipts at New Orleans Is, against
s76 last year. and at Houston so against
100 last year.

STOCK MARKET IS
VERY UNSETTLED
Southern Pacific Stock Issue

Measures BY Insiders and Was

the Decline.
TRADERS INCLINED TO SELL

New York, June 16.-Speculative senti-
ment continued much unsettled today by
the proposed preferred STOCK Issue by
Southern Pacific. The feverish tone IN
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in-the
early dealings kept traders out of the
general market, and those TWO stocks al
most monopolized the trading. When they
settled down to about last nights level
the rest of the market took on better
lone, and was inclined to improve. Union
Pacific's double role of stoekholder ana
creditor of Southern Pacific is the pfln-
nipal cause Of confusion. AS creditor, It's
advances to the subsidiary company are
to be paid off by a portion OF tne new
preferred stock and by the proceeos oi
the subscription.
AS stockholder the claims OF Southern
Pacific stock upon earnings are TO pe
superseded by the per cent rights Oh
the new stock. Union Pacinc was soihe-
what erratic In the early dealings IN ae-
rordanca with these uncertainties regard
inc benefits to accrue. The stock solo

less contrariety of opinion over the erect
Of the situation upon Southern facihc'
and traders were inclined to sell that
stock. The buying was attributed TO sup
norting measures by insiders and was Ell
fective in checking the decline anu IN
ducing some covering In the stoch. ne
value of the subscription rights on me
stock and the advantage pr funding "ts
aoatine debit were urged onethe one hand,
while on the other it was argued that the
nrior dividend claims of the preferred
stock was excessive at Z per cent, leaV-
lne little hope for the common TO snare
IN any distribution of profits.
TT did not become known until late IN
The day that a privilege OF retiring the
preferred stock at 115 from July, lsoo, 10

an the ground that the funding OF the
aoatine debt into contingent dividend cap
tai instead of into fixed interest bearing
bonds added to the security of the bonds.
Southern Pacific preferred when Issued
sold on the curb at 121, and the rights
to subscribe at par at SA to T. There was
little In the general market. The adj
vance In Consolidated gas was on the
execution of a large single order, and was
not explained. The reduction in the divi-
dend rate of Lake Eries western prefer,
red and the poor showing of quarterly
and semi-annual neat earnings by the
Vanderbilt railroads were not stimulating
factors. but the market ignored them.
The tone of the market was indeterminate
throughout, and the closing heavy and
below the best.
Some Of the active speculative bonds
made the market irregular by their de-
clines but the market was generally firm.

AT A SAVING OF
500 AND UP.

The r. e. forbes Piano Sale contin-
ues TO be a great success notwithstand-
ing the fact Of the excessive warm
weather and that people do not spend
the evening indoors. This continued
success is because a great many people
who had contemplated buying a piano
this fall are now buying because they
know that the prices are less than they
could possibly buy piano later on.
In point of fact every person who now
buys piano is able to save at least
500.
Nearly all the we'll known various
makes of pianos are represented in this
sale and besides those pianos bought
from the Frank G.. Fite Company are
also high-class pianos of standard make
just from the factory and marked from
$50 to 800 less than the regular price.
Remember, every piano Is plainly
marked so that i, you want to make
someone gift of a piano, but knowing
Nothing about pianos yourself, 1t makes
of pianos are represented In this as
cheap as the most experienced person.

MYSTERY IN THE
CABLEGRAM

c. j. Mccarthy, the present chairman
of the Democratic Executive commit
tee, has heard nothing of the reported
recommendation for the appointment
of Palmer Woods as National Commit
teeman for Hawaii. Mccarthy had
been endorsed by the local committee
for the same place.
Neither the chairman nor secretary
of the committee has heard anything
of the appointment of Palmer Woods"
said Col. Mccarthy yesterday. 1--WE
are at a loss to know where the dis
patch in the Advertiser originated, al
though We have been trying to discover
all day who received the cablegram.
The recommendation of the committee
was sent forward a good while ago and
we have been expecting a reply for
three weeks now. 1 can't account for
the delay
