Ioveman & Co.'s Market letter.

lust as we had anticipated very few July certificates were issued In this mar ket today. Altogether the tenders did not amount to over 300 bales, fact which caused some uneasiness on the part of the shorts, who covered freely, causing July contracts to sell as high as loeo. At around this level, however, brokers supposed to be acting for large bull in terests were heavy sellers, and the ad- vancing tendency was somewhat held in check. New crop months ruled steady in sympathy with the strength shown by the July position. Spots were officially reported 1-16c up on all grades Mlddling cotton was quoted at Il cents.
 The liberal manner in which July con- tracts were handed out today on the moderate advance resulting from an at tempt on the part of frightened shorts to cover served to convince us that the July position in this market is a cooked goose all idea of cornering July has evidently been abandoned a development which cannot be conceded as other than weak enjng in influence. Not few traders have been supporting the market. on the theory that the bull interest would be satisfied with nothing less than the delivery of the cotton.
 We take no stock in the absurd re- ports being circulated to the effect that the crop has deteriorated since the last bureau and that on an average lower than that in the June report Is to be acknowledged. Crop report accounts re- ceived here from all parts of the belt l1ave been generally favorable except from southeast Texas, which had a drouth until recently. The July posi- tion which has been the backbone of the market no longer a serious factor in the market The good spot demand In evi- dence today was merely the reflection of the belated export business which must be closed up by the end of the month now so near at an end.

The earlier example of the weakness of Pennsylvania, in face of the rise in the Baltimore and Ohio dividend was also kept in mind. and helped to convince sentiment that impor- tant liquidation was still In progress when any favorable opportunity offered. The money market today offered no evidence of any urgent demand for funds on call although the tone was somewhat firmer
 But the influence of lenders of money in inducing the liquidation of stock was believed, nevertheless to be a preponder- ant influence. large reduction of com mitments on the part of stock market pools seemed in progress under this in- fluence. It took the form in some cases of severer scrutiny of collateral loans Many reports were current of discrimi- nation against some of the industrial stocks as collateral on loans, and while the banks were not inclined to admit these reports, the special weakness in the stock market of the stocks referred to in the reports, indicated a condition of disfavor of these securities at their present level of values.
 Calling of loans proceeded to some ex- ten in preparation for the July settle ment. Fears that furry might occur next week In connection with these set- dement's had something to do with the
  tinued to decline with increased pros- pect of gold being secured for import. It is now believed that the $10, GOO of government deposits will be withdrawn from the national banks on July 10, in accordance with announcement in or der to facilitate the redeposit of govern ment funds in San Francisco banks, which is intended.
 A meeting of St Paul directors with out taking any action on the expected plan for financing the Pacific coast ex- tension added to the speculative feeling of disappointment and increased the weakness of the stock market, which was most acute in the last hour, with closing prices near the lowest
 Generally, net losses run from 1 to over points, and the leading speculative favorite lost from to 1 points and up- ward on the days dealings.

 vance of 5 to 10
SALES WERE 100000 BALES

New York, June 27.-The cotton market today was somewhat irregular. but gen. orally steadied on covering with the close very steady at net advance of 5q1O points. Sales were estimated at about 100000 bales.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 1a2 points, which was not a full re- sponse to the lower cables, and favor able weather and crop report. There was a considerable demand on the call, not only for coverings shorts, but buying for fresh long accounts on the part of the local scalpers, who figured that the market was over short, and prices rallied to a net advance of about 6a10 points during the middle session. Offerings in- creased at this level owing to realiza- ing and some selling for Wall street ac- count. which accompanied reports of a weak stock market, but after saggng off a few points, the list rallied again, and the close was within a point or two of the top. It was the first July notice day in New Orleans, but only 1000 to 1900 bales were issued, and July ruled quite firm after they had been stopped during the hrst half hour. Locally, lileie WeIe fuii- ors of further sales from the local stock, but no business was officially reported. The weather map showed scattering show CTS over the belt, with the forecast call ing for more precipitation tonight or to- morrow.

Ware & LeIand's Market Letter.

One of the largest operators in the To- cal market is the authority of proVero to the effect that the market never goes down on a notice day especially when it Is expected to go down.
 The truth of this saying was well illus trated in the course of prices today
 For weeks past the bears have been making vague threats about what they were going to do in the way or July tenders which were terrifying to the weak long following and yet even on the open ing today July commenced to advance and at one time was l4 points higher than yes- terdav's close. Only a few hundred bales were rendered and the notices did not circulate long before they were stopped
 If an organized attempt Is being made to manipulate the July position distinct success has attended the efforts of the manipulators. Spots have been kept up well above futures and July has been allowed to sag until the difference De- tween July and spots is something ap- palling to any one who wishes to de- liver cotton. Even with the advance today .DIly was always about a quarter of a cent below spots for 1t was generally ad- mdtted that middling could not be bought under Il cents.
 Spot holders will think twice with the extremely good demand for spots, be- fore they dump much cotton on con- tracts with the widespread difference be- tween contracts and the actual stun. The weather was again favorable over prae- tically the entire belt.
 Some rain fell in the eastern belt that could have been dispensed with, but the western belt continued to get rain which was generally taken as favorable feature But the good weather brought out no fresh selling.
 Shorts appeared to be too busy watch ing for a chance to take profits on old lines to grasp any chances to put out fresh lines. The consequence was that the new crops shared the advance with I1nln

Oregon Short Line viii Build New
Road to Tap Jackson Hole
Country.
COST OF BUILDING SMALL
WORK ON YELLOWSTONE PARK
BRANCH BEING RUSHED.

Preliminary surveys are being made
by the Oregon Short Line for it's pro-
posed line through the South Fork can
yon along the Srake river in Idaho into
the jackson Hole country. Several
gangs of surveyors are at work at va
TiOus points in the canyon. A line has
been run from Poplar to Elva. 1t is
said that n grade has been mapped out
from the mouth Of the canyon into the
Jackson Hole territory which will per-
nit the road being built at maximum
cost of SIS 900 per mile. A party of
thirty-five engineers is now at Rigby,
Ida, awaiting Instructions. Another
party went to Ashton last week and 1t
is believed they will engage in the con-
struction of the Short Line extension
into Yellowstone park.
There are seven camps OF laborers eS-
tablished near Ashton, and about SOC
men are working on the extension into
the park. The grade in several places
is said to be heavier than any encoun-
tered by any railroad in the west. The
work has been pushed with all possible
haste to have the road completed and
ready for the operation by next Sep
tember.
