Brokers Dare Not Seek
To Abolish Reports

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE New York
cotton market has suffered for long
time by reason of the loss of faith in the
Government crop reports.
II II were not that dealers and brokers
realize they have poor standing with the
country at large there Is little doubt
that they would undertake TO bring eff
fective pressure to bear 10 have the
whole system OF Government reports
abolished.
The June and July acreage reports are
pointed out as the most 1agrant Illus
tration of the demorauzation into which
the market has been dragged on account
OF the Washington leaks.
On July cotton was pushed up a
cent per pound in the nrst five minutes
after the Government, report was an
nounced. It had been assiduously adver-
tised for a week or two before that time,
by powerful Influences in the cotton
trade. that the report was sure to be
bullish-
Expected Different Report.
The trade at large did not expect any
thing of the sort. All evidences were
that the report of June 3 had been
manipulated, and that the July report
would largely correct the effects of
indication to the advices the trade had
been receiving.
So, while merchants and brokers' were
confidently looking for a report that
would have little effect on the market
the insiders were diligently exploiting
their thory that the report would be
buIiish. The result proved that the bull
clique was right
The Government report came exactly
as they had forecast Cotton went up
at a terrific pace. The trade was almost
stanpeded off its feet for a time
The bulls made immense profits out
OF the bulge. Then the market sagged
back to about The figure that the calm
judgment OF the trade had all along
calculated.
Proof Is Sufficient.
Cotton circles were confident that the
leaks and the manipulation at Washing
ton made these things possible. Now
they know Il. The department. after
thorough investigation. has revised the
June acreage report which was the
basis OF the July estimates, and ad-
mitted that all the charges against
those reports We're true.

these conditions have brought about in

Black Sea Fleet to Be
Seized by Sailors of

Rebels Were to Be Bonn
barded by WarShipS.

SEFASTOPOL, Russia, July 27.-The
court-martial Of the mutneers among
the crew Of the battleship GeoTgi Pobie-
donostseff. which at first joined the
batteship Kniaz Potemkiu in the re-
cent Black Sea revolt. but later suTren-
dered to the authorities. has brought to
light the fact that a widespread con-
spiracy for revolt existed among the
sailors of the Black Sea fleet and the
artillerymen IN the fortress at Sevasto-
pol.
Planned Ultimatum to Car
The plot included the seizing of all the
vessels in the feet and the fortress at
Sevastopol. The rnutineers intended to
intrench themselves IN the fort and.
backed by the feet. they had prepared
to send an ultimatum to the Car de-
manding that he should grant to Russia
a satisfactory constitution.
In case OF the Cars refusal to grant
their request. the mutineers intended to
use the feet to lombard every city and
town on the Black Sea which refused to
join the revolt
The conspiracy failed because the men
on the Kniaz Potemkin acted hastily
and mutinied before the conspirators
had completed their plans.
Thousands Under Arrest.
The discovery of the conspiracy has
resulted in the arrest OF 800 sailors and
soldiers at seyastopoI and other cities
in southern Russia, and they are now
being held for trial on the charge Of
treason.

IRON SITUATION
 NOW IMPROVING
ARE MORE sATiS- FACTORY THAN A WEEK AGO. LARGE BIRMINGHAM BUSINESS PLACED WITHIN TEN DAYS.

Rogers Brown & Co.'S cincinnati's iron report of yesterdays date says:
 The general situation is an improve nert over week ago. Conditions are more satisfactory than at any time since early January Several sales of impor- tance have been consummated, and the presence of one or two large inquiries is noted. Statistically, there has been good strength since the first of the year, and the publication of figures for January together with activity for the past week. has served to emphasize what is judged to be the beginning of busy period Inquiries for the last half are being re- ceived, but the bulk of the buying has been for delivery prior to July, many fur naces still being backward about making propositions for business after July 1. The large mefters are more in evidence and the smaller jobbing foundrymen re- port improvement.
 From Birmingham comes the news of some large business placed during the last ten days the majority being for first half delivery. Production continues good. although recent severe weather has interfered considerably with satisfactory operation. Southern labor will not work out of doors in cold weather. The mod cration of the season will see an increase in activity,
 Again, there seems to be marked diff ference between the attitude of buyers In the east and west, those, in the former locality exhibiting more interest, both as to purchases and inquiries for round lots. The western buyers are comparatively quiet Iron on existing contracts is nov ing freely, and apparently being received for early consumption. Figures remain unchanged with firmer tone.
 Coke Is in good demand and prices are without change. There has been great difficulty in movement from all districts on account of weather conditions, and this seems likely to continue.
