slightly in excess of offerings, causing slight gains to be temporarily observed. The weekly weather report had very little effect on values and may be said to have quite fully confirmed private adviees which have been the basis Of opinions. The complaints from certain sections of too rapid growth and grassy fields were well understood to exist as well as rain requirements in Texas ere long. The rainfalls reported in that state today nul- lify to some extent the importance of this grievance. if 1t be one, for it remains an open question which will give the best results in the present stage Of the plant Rains and an excess of boil weevil or no rain and diminution of ravages. Fearing enlargement of such complaints as the report noted. no fresh selling was induced.
 The declines in English consols and french rents incident to political differ ences arising from Russia's recent ac- tions in the Red sea, were viewed with little concern and reports of the still un- settled labor differences in Fall River meet similar reception In fact, no class of news seems to have d bearish effect and bullish information is so scarce that it hardly meets with credenoe.
 Wheat ~ There were complications abroad sufficient to depress consols half a point, while London was firm. but the improved weather was too much for prices, and there was considerable sell ing early, many stop-orders being reached with trade working higher. The new wheat movement was better, report very hot weather in the Northwest, the buy in- was not increased, and toward the close offerings were rather free. We be- lieve that profit should be accepted on hard spots. and look for lower prices.
 Corn-Prices were easy early, in sym pathy with wheat, and the fine weather but Armour bought July and sold Sep tember, while outside buying orders were very numerous from the West accom- panied with damage. mostly from Kan sas and Missouri This cereal acts very strong.
 Oats-Oats were freely sold, but offer ings were well taken, with September in demand, as 1t Is largely over-sold. Favor purchases on all dips, and think cash de- mand will become urgent, following light receipts.
 Provisions-Provisions were dull and without feature, although hogs were high CT, but the trade was lifeless, and very little interest manifested.
 Stocks-The stock market was very IT, regular today. The heavy London open ing gave the lead and the market sag Bcu ana reacted Houerately Tn the morn ing but there appeared to be some support and later when shorts covered prices rose all along the line, the strength In St. Paul. Missouri Pacific and A c. P. being conspicuous and encouraging to the bull crowd We think it a time for con servatism. The market cannot always go right up and if it does the drop later will be all the more severe. Watch the active issues for signs of liquidation now as we believe their advance will not hold more than temporarily before a general recession of fair extent.

COTTON MARKET
 OPENED STEADY Bearish Crop Report Expected at Midday RULED GENERALLY STEADY Selling Was Restricted By Exports From New York Stocks and Im-
 portant Selling Orders
 Were Absent.
RULED GENERALLY STEADY

New York, July 1s.-The cotton market opened quiet but steady at a decline of 2 to points. in response to favorable weather advices. and expectations of bearish crop report at midday There were no cables to influence sentiment either way, and at first the room seemed to hold bearish views as to prices. Sell ing was restricted, however, by exports from the New York stocks and while the weekly crop report proved quite as fa- vorable as had been expected. the market ruled generally steady on moderate cov- ering in the absence of important selling orders. The close was steady, within a point or so of the top, and at net gains of to points.
 Sales were estimated at only 75,00O bales.
 A correction was announced in the New York stocks, which in connection with the exports reported. reduced the total running count to 4O.s55 bales. against 5s.- 5ls on the previous day. and 1579O4 last year.
 Total exports were a little over 5000 bales. leaving the stock at all United States ports only 12s.s35 bales, against 21522 bales year ago.
 Private advices during the day stated that Bryan, Texas, was offering fifty bales of new crop for shipment not later than August 1. Arrivals of 3,267 bales at New York reported during the day. in cluded 104 bales from Liverpool Talk of European complications in the far East was heard in the early market, but had no appreciable effect on business, which reflected more or less general tendency to await the course of the crop for the immediate future or some other develop ment calculated to put a new look on the situation.
 Receipts at the ports today 3,601 bales, against 1928 last week, and 273 last year. For the week. 5000 bales. against 10,51S last week. and 3,726 last year. Today re- ceipts at New Orleans 9s2 bales, against 12O last year, and at Houston 5S5, against Il last year.

New York Cotton Futures.
New Orleans Market.

New Orleans, July 19.-In the spot cot ton market there was fair demand, but offerings were light. Sales, 1850 bales, in- cluding $50 to arrive. Delivered on con tracts, POO Quotations unchanged.
 Futures opened quiet and prices were to points down. Soon after the opening buying orders for a few hundred bales were in evidence, while offerings were practically nothing. This caused an ad- vance. The demand was scattered and held the market up hntil toward II o'clock, when offerings became freer and prices went down below the level of yes terday's close again, but later there was another improvement. The reading of the crop reports at Il o'clock created no ex- citement, although many traders were expecting a more favorable report than was received. While the summary of crop reports contained some bad features, these were more than offset by the state- ment that the boil weevil in Texas was doing little damage; it's rnyages having been checked byIdry weather and abund- ant sunshine. In the trading August first lost points from yesterdays close at 10 43, recovered to 0.5l, declined to 1O.44, and finally sold up to 10.50. The market closed steady. July gained net points, August lost 1, while the new crop months gained 3 to 3 points

 Caldwell G Wards Market Letter. By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, July 19 1.-The market was deprived of Liverpoors influence today, the English market observing a holiday in honor of the kings visit. The weekly bureau report on condition of crop was somewhat better than expected. denoting the maintainence of. recent officially an- nounced high conditions average of the crop in all states, especially in Georgia, some little stress was laid on Texas re- porting growth of plant checked by dry weather, rains commencing to be needed in all sections of the state. particularly in the northwestern portion where a drouth is developing. In connection with the progress of the crop the past week in the Lone Star state, the plant is said to be well cultivated and to be fruiting nicely, and while dry weather Is said to have checked the advancement of the crop, it has also checked the ravishes of the weevil. As an instroduction the sum- mary of the bureau says that cotton has continued to make rapid growth through out the cotton belt with the exception of Texas which has been construed as mean ing that all states with the exception of Texas have continued to improve. Since the receipt by the government of the returns from its correspondents, season. able, the beneficial showers have visited central and southern Texas, light show CTS in the more northern counties where rains are wanted most, while rains are reported from scattered points in the state today, also in Alabama and Geor- gia, where a general rain would be of much benefit. So far the crop has done exceptionally well, is well cultivated but for grassy fields in sections of the east Gulf and south Atlantic states, and is said to be fruiting nicely and opening in southwest Texas. Galveston received three bales today; Houston expects one tomorrow and offers of fifty bales and one hundred bale lots, deliverable in New Orleans the first week In August were made by south central Texas planters to- day indicating that picking is now going on in that section of Texas. Almost every feature coming to the surface is of a bear ish kind, yet shorts have not the cour- age of their convictions to offer the mar ket down, fearing manipulation would in- fluence crop positions to a higher level. With little easfness that wac die1loyas1 this afternoon was brought about solely by the few offerings of the new crop of cotton which would not amount to a drop in the bucket of spinners readily ab- sorb early offerings. but it is question if they will
