Boil Weevil Wins.

Last Monday the department
of agriculture,at Washington is
sued a report on the result of re-
cent Investigations by special
agents of the department. who have
been searching for something to
destroy boil weevil. The report
states that every indication is
that there is not evens.a remote
probability that the boil weeviI
will. ever be eXterminated, ano
as a matter of fact, no injurious
ared. Thus the agricultural de-
partment gives up the fight, and
the bollsweevil wins.

OPEN THEIR EYES
Selling for Profit Causes Pause
in Trading
VOL UME UNUSUALLY SMALL
Japanese Loan for Saturday and Re-
turn of Government Deposits
Subjects for Consideration
In Money Market.
VOL UME UNUSUALLY SMALL

New York. July 10.-The selling to take
profits on the opening rise in prices OF
stocks today was of such character as to
cause pause in the operations for adj
vance and a marked falling off in the
volume of the dealings. Not only was the
selling to realize of a significant nature.l
but an influential element in the specu7
lation began to give voice to suggestions
of an HnfAvorabe choice.
Such a development awakens the fear
in the mind of the wary professional OPP
orator that the proceeds of taking profits
in the particular instance has been COM
pleted, leaving a speculative party with
out motive for making further ad-
vance and favorably disposed to operate
for decline. with a view to getting the
back holdings cheaper
There is no one factor on which the
present speculation counts so greatly as
on Increases in dividend rates on num-
Der of stocks which have been made &C
tive. The retention on security OF the
recent dividend rate on Central Railroad
of New Jersey disappointed some of the
recent professional holders of those deal
ings in Reading. The reaction in this
stock was sufficient to decide the general
tendency of the market. The iron and
steel industrias. Amalgamated COPIED
and the Eries seemed to be the principal
benehciaries of the shifting of specula-
tive demand said to be going on. The
London market was unsettled by fears
Of trouble in the coming Kaff1r settlement

Gold also rose in that market on the
Paris demand which continued in spite
of an announcement of the definite re-es-
tablishment OF an entente with Germany
Exchange here was inclined to sag and
no more gold was taken for export. Tnere
was quite an active demand Tor time
loans carrying over the end OF the year.
The opening of subscriptions on Wednes-
day to the $50,000,000 japanese loan APP
portionment and return of government
deposits set for Saturday next were also
subjects for consideration in the money
market 1t is expected that both these
factors will operate in the first place 10
bring funds here from other points TO

CLOSING TONE WAS STEADY

New York, July 1O-The cotton market
was very excited all day, and during the
first of the session scored further sensa-
tional gains. Later there was heavy real
ization and prices lost about 14a17 points
of the advance, but the closing tone was
steady at net gain of SsQ4S points for
the day.
The opening was strong at an advance
of POOH points in response 10 higher
cables. Reports OF heavy rains In the
western belt and a flood of crop damage
reports from the southwest, caused fur
Their excitement in New Orleans, while the
idea that the June 3 report OF the bureau
of statistics had undoubtedly made the
reduction in the acreage wrong. was pos
sibly the underlying influence or the big
advance. New Orleans opened O. points
higher on one month, and sent big buying
orders to the local market, believed to be
for the account of the situation of shorts,
and Liverpool continued to advance after
the local opening until at the close; prices
then were about 60 to 20 American points
higher. Tie advance here carried October
to 11.S5 ard January to 11.5o. or gain of
nearly IS bale, but there was not any
reaction of consequence. Then after a
break OF Is to 20 points, there was a quick
rally Of several points on a renewal OF
bull support. and outside buying with
later fluctuations very irregular.

Ware g. .eland,s Market Letter

The market was a repetition of last
Monday. The exposures of the department
made Saturday were SUCH as to throw the
trade into a condition bordering on hys-
terra, and under these circumstances 1t Is
small wonder the market was runaway
one.
October advanced so points over Satur-
days opening before early afternoon and
the trade was thrown completely out OF
its usual reckoning. When the last bu-
reau came out and made condition II the
market jumped from 91a to 10Y.
When the evidence was presented that
showed the bureau-report was made as
bearish as possible. prices jumped from
1015 to liz.
The question now Is whether conditions
and the acreage are in line with the de-
partment or with the figures OF the South
ern Cotton Growers association. No one
knows, and In the meantime we are likely
to have this kind OF a market.
1t is not a market for small traders.
We can see much higher prices without
any trouble or the market can start to
break any day.
There is absolutely nothing upon which
to base opinions.

Lov.man & Co.'s Market Letter.

The investigation Of the bureau leak
seems to be followed with greater interest
abroad than a home. One or the discover
les made during the inquiry was the re-
duction in acreage was minimized so as
to help certain bears. and the natural
inference is that the real decrease from
last years acreage. Is much more than
the H. per cent reported in the June bu-
reau Whatever the cause. Europe was
plainly disposed to take the bit into its
teeth. Our stiff closing of Saturday called
for an advance In Liverpool of II points.
Liverpool not only met this but opened
IA to 16 higher. As If this were not enough
that market steamed up and kept on adj
vancing until the close shows the phe-
nominal gain Of "a points for the day. or
the equivalent of 6s American points. The
market now has resolved itself into a
bull Juror. which apparently cannot be
checked. Even with a decrease of ia per
cent in the acreage, an average crop
would only be 100000 bales. If, as is
generally believed, the acreage was really
further reduced, the average crop possibly
would be even smaller. To make matters
worse from a consumers standpoint
present crop conditions point to yield
far below the average. and therefore even
the most pessimistic predictions receive
credence. Prophecies of crop under 49,
100000 are not uncommon, and backed by
an Unsuitable demand for cotton goods
and constant absorption of the old crop by
spinners, shorts find very little comfort
in the outlook.
