PANAMA WITH
PACIFIC SHIPS
CONNECTION GIVING NEW OF.
LEANS QUICKER SERVICE TO
THE ENTIRE WESTERN
ocEAN-FoUR SHIPS RUN.
MING.

Tho United Fruit company will es-
tablisha new schedule for the sail
ing of vessels from this pert to Colon
and Panama. says the New Orleans
Picayune. Ever since the establish
ment OF the line these ships have
been sailing on Friday, but in the flu
ture they win leave Wednesday.
This change. while apparently I'm.
important on the surface, really
means considerable TO the trade of
New Orleans and the passengers tray.
cling south from this port.
Manager Ellis, in explaining the i'm.
portance of this move, pointed out the
highly-impcrtant fact that ships sail
ing from New Orleans on Wednesday
would reach Colon the same time as
ships sailing from New York on Mon
day. This will put the steamers in
the port of Colon on Sunday and al
low the passengers to cross en- the
train to Panama the following day
and catch the Pacific Mail steamers
sailing from Panama on Tuesday for
ports Of Costa RIGA, Nicaragua Saliva
dor. Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico
and would also give close connec
ion for those passengers who might
care to make the trip TO San Francis.
co by sea Those who have travelled
in the tropics can readily see the adj
yantages of these connections in
handling passengers for the Pacific
coast Of all the Central American re.
publcs. The "trip could be made much
quicker and very much more comfort
ably.
In addition to making connection
with the Pacific Mail steamers the
new schedule will connect with the
South American Steamship company
sailing out of Panama for ports on
he Pacific coast of South America
This will give passengers and freight
for ports in that territory very much
quicker service than any other line
can possibly furnish
The close connections with the Pa.
citic Mail northbound, should interest
New Orleans merchants, for + viii
give them much faster route by
which to deliver their shipments on
the Pacific coast than by the old sys-
tenn Ct discharging freight on the
\ eastern side and taking It across by
mule pack, which Is almost out of the
question, on account OF the delay and
cost
The steamer Ellis sails today and
next "Wednesday the Preston will
leave and the voyerly win follow on
January II.
Mr. Ellis added hat ne stool ready

WANING INTEREST
 IN STOCK MARKET Professionals Disappointed at
 Continued LasSltude PEACE HAS LITTLE EFFECT Conditions Reported for Cotton and Corn Were Considered Unsatis-
 factory-Big Expansion of
 Cotton the Feature.
PEACE HAS LITTLE EFFECT

New York. June 13.-The movement Of stocks today reflected the further dis appointment of professional operators over the failure of any general interest in the market to revive as result of the Equit- able Life plan of settlement, and the prospect of peace in the far east. That Is about all that can be said of the mar ket to offer any degree of enlightenment.
 This feeling of disappointment was al- ready pronounced yesterday, but pro- fessional element of traders cherished hope that the irresponsveness of the market to the peace prospects was due to the general holiday observed all over Europe. It was with the expectation that the resumption of operations in foreign markets would show the effect of the peace developments since the adjournment on last Friday, that the local operators marked up prices late in the day yester- day. The London market availed itself of this opportunity to sell about 30,OO American stocks in New York. The defn- ite abandonment of any hope of specu- lative revival on account of the peace negotiations immediately followed. The professional element thereupon proceeded to take steps to undo what they did yes- terday and on Saturday,
 The bear operators who had been driven to cover proceeded to renew their short contracts, and the small professional eom- mitments on the long side were thrown over again How closely these lines of conduct were followed was indicated by the relatively greater losses or those stocks which have risen most since last Friday.
 Such effect as peace prospects produced on foreign markets seemed more than off, set by renewed anxiety over the Moroc- can question The general condition in Equitable Life insurance was not whole some in some particulars to the stock market.
 The conditions reported for corn and cotton were considered unsatisfactory. The increase shown in the May exports of agricultural products of nearly $22, 0O0, OO0 over May of last year did not help the market The expansion in cotton as re- ported during the month of 632 71S bales against IA 240 bales in May of last year was the noteworthy feature of the show ing. Reports of large increases in the yearly earnings of Amalgamated Copper subsidiary companies did not save that stock from being one of the weakest in the list. The uninterrupted ruling in the money market took that subject practi cally out of consideration. Another pay ment by the sub-treasury of s500000 on ac- count of a telegraphc transfer from San Francisco marked the further return of funds recently transmitted to that point on account of American Smelling com panys purchases. The stock market showed no effective power toward recov- cry.

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

The advance today was due to a number of causes. That is 1t might never have come about and it did under less peculiar circumstances.
 The short interest In october for two or three accounts was very large. This short interest has been doing everything in it's power to break the market. The Liverpool market was depressed today just as the Liverpool market was ham mered yesterday but when the shorts tried to buy there was no cotton. After the weekly report several of the larger traders started to sell the market and when the price failed to give they bought. This buying started the big short interest and for an hour there was a very lively market.
 October ran up about 30 points from the early level and above $50 there was less cotton for sale than any one expected. The action of the market shows how serious it is to sell short. There is noth- ing the present crop accounts to warrant short-selling. We might go over the whole cotton situation without giving an important factor as to the worlds trade.
 There Is nothing to sell short on yet and every reason for buying cotton on all declines.

The cotton market was strong and higher today after a weak opening Liver- pool after being closed for two days came about points lower, which was very dis appointing to the bull crowd here. The local market opened points lower De- tober selling at s25 and after selling at SPA rallied to S.53. A local operator, who 1t was believed was on the short side, was buying openly today. and was the cause of heavy short covering. The weekly weather report issued from Washington todays shows the weather conditions in the cotton belt to have been more favor able during the past week for cultiva- tion of cotton, although a considerable portion of the crop Is grassy A general though not decided improvement in con diton of cotton in the central and wes- tern districts is indicated, but in the Car olinas and Tennessee cotton has made slow progress. Light rains would be beneficial in northern and central Texas. The boil weevil is active over increased area. As we have been saying daily. we still believe in higher prices and would buy cotton on all soft spots.

WEAK OPENING IN
 COTTON MARKET Spot Markets in South Re- ported Generally Firm ACTIVE IN THE AFTERNOON  Weather Reports During the Day Were Considered Good, But Seemed to

 the Market.
ACTIVE IN THE AFTERNOON

New York, June 1S-Cotton market opening was weak at a decline of 7d10 points. which was hardly as much as due on lower cables and the excellent wealth CT indicated by the early map. As soon as the first rush of selling orders had subsided prices began to work higher on buying credited to Philadelphia spot in- terests and to the recent local bear lead CTS.
 Some scattering demand was also at tracted by the report of generally firm spot markets in the south and the mar ket had just about recovered it's early loss by midday when the weekly bureau report showing only slight improve ment in the cotton of the crowd was fol- lowed by an active buying movement During the entire afternoon the market was more or less active with final prices steady within a point or two of the high est at a net advance of 12Q20 points. Sales futures were estimated at 550 000 bales. Weather reports during the day were considered good but seemed to have little influence on the market
 Receipts at the ports today 16,6S2 bales, against 2s,7e7 last week and 1779 last year. For the week. (estimated), 9O,OOO bales, against II, ,9SO last week and 14,976 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans. 4115. against 1901 last year, and at Hous- ton 4645, against 19S last year.
