FIRST MONTH COTTON REPORT
By the Government-Average Of Stock
and Acreage

NEW YORK, June 2.-The government
first month cotton report of the season CIV
ing the average of the stock at 77.2 per
cent and reduction in acreage at ia per
cent was preceded and followed by active
selling and excitement on the cotton ex-
change today. The market was weak from
the opening under active pressure, and be-
fore the report was issued July sold off to
SIS, October S.22 and December S34.
Immediately following the announcement
of the government figures there was great
confusion on the cotton exchange due to
the New Orleans market, which shot up
over 70 points, causing a rally of 6 to =
points here. This. however, was subse-
Quently lost.
1t developed later that the average con-
ditions received in New Orleans at 1872 in
stead of 77.2 July sold off to $40 in the
New York market. a decline from last night
of about "a points, and lost one-half a
cent from the high point of last Wednes-
day.

The Money Market.

Today's money market showed signs of
relaxation. large number of earnings
statements for various periods made up the
most important news there was relating to
particular stocks. Included in these re-
ports was the April statement Of the Penn
Sylvania railroad and the showing of the
same period of the Union Pacific and the
Southern Pacific systems. There was a
moderate increase in the volume of bust
ness In today's stock market, and a very
good distribution of activity, although the
rank and file of commission houses con-
tihued to bewail the absence of outside in
terest The state tax upon the transfers
of stocks went into effect today, but was
apparently without any influence In re-
stricting active trading.
The main features Of the railway list
were Union and Southern Pacific, St Paul
and Reading. The last-named stock was
exceptionally firm throughout the day on
the common expectations that the stock
Will be permanently established upon
higher dividend basis at this months
meeting Of the board of directors.
Further discussion of dividend pros
poets attended the dealings in Union and
Southern Pacific also. The local traction
shares continued active and were firm. In
the early dealings the United States Steel
shares were under quite heavy pressure
a circumstance which contributed some
what to the weakness In the general mar
ket at that time.

NEW YORK, June Paris was a large
seller OF securities in the London stock
market this morning and London retaliated
with quite heavy sales in the local stock
market. In consequence prices declined
from 1 to points in the first hour of busi-
ness. after which the market rallied and
many smart recoverles took place. As was
the case yesterday. interest and discussion
Converged almost exclusively upon the af-
fairs of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety.
During the greater part of the business
session no definite information was obtain
able with regard to the tenor of the report
of the Investigating committee, and in its
absence there were no limits upon the play
of Wall street conjecture.
In the rally In prices which took place
after the early unsettement it was evident
that spectators In general had reached
the conclusion that no matter what the re-
port of the Investigating committee might
reveal. 1t would not disclose any set of
circumstances which would transcend the
generally accepted views of the case.
Cotton and Grain Markets.
Other matters of Importance in the days
situation comprised the publication of the
governments report on the cotton crop and
the estimates Of the principal movements
in currency during the week.
The cotton report showed decrease in
acreage of ia per cent. and percentage
condition OF 7T.2 per cent, as against an
average for the past ten years of S5.S per
cent Poor as this showing would appear
to be on the surface, the cotton market
had apparently looked for an even worse
exhibit. At any rate there was very
sharp break IN the quotations for all the
cotton options.
The grain market moved irregularly.
The preliminary estimates of the week s
currency movement indicated a loss in cash
by the banks of between $500. 900 and
$3.0O0.eO0.. This was a much better showing
than had been expected. in as much the
banks have lost to the subtreaSury alone
more than $1,000. 600, largely on account of
currency transfers to San Francisco, so
they have evidently regained about one
half of that sum through receipts of cur
rency from the interior. The subtreasury
was a very large debtor at today s>-clear-
ing house settlement where the balance at
tained record-breakng proportions. one
prominent bank alone having a debit bal
ance of more than s20,OO0,00O.

1.-The railroad bond market during May

NOW is THE TIME FOR HYoMEI
Far Easier to Cure Catarrh Now The 4
at Any Other Season.

Now is the time to use Hyomei,
when the early summer days make it
so easy to cure catarrhal troubles.
The Hyomei treatment, breathed for
few minutes three or four times a
day in May or June, will do good
twice as quickly as it did in January,
and nearly everyone knows that used
faithfully then, it completely rids the
system of catarrh.
HyOmei is purely vegetable Pnepa-
ration whose active curative proper
ties are given off when it is breathed
by the aid of the pocket inhaler that
comes with every outfit. 1t destroys
all germ life in the air passages, puri-
ties the blood by supplying additional
ozone, and its healing, volatile, anti
septic fragrance reaches every cor
ner of the respiratory tract as no
medicine taken through the stomach
can possibly do.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but one dollar, and consists of neat
inhaler that can be carried in the
purse or vest pocket and will last a
lifetime, medicine dropper, and a
bottle of Hyomei. Extra bottles of
Hyomei can be procured, if desired,
for fifty cents.
At this. season of the year when
catarrhal troubles can be so quickly
and readily cured, the merits of the
Hyomei treatment should be careful
fully investigated by everyone and a
complete outfit should be in every
home. Clarke & Co. give their per-
sonal guarantee with every Hyomei
outfit they sell to refund the money
if it does not give satisfaction. There
is no risk whatever to the purchaser
of Hyomei.
