by their influence upon sentiment, have
caused a sympathetic response in the
whole list. Prices have worked higher In
consequence. The factors bearing most
effectually on the renewed speculative
activity, however have had to do more
largely with the personal element than
with any forclble new recognition of the
conditions of prosperity in the country.
The impression is widespread amongst
the operators in the market that, the big
men" in the financial world are buying
stock with which they are closely iden-
tilted.
The foundation for this belief was pri-
marily the coincidence of the appearance
of buying orders in the market with the
return from vacation trips abroad of va
rious leaders In the financial world, the
list including James Stilman of the Ma
tional City bank, William Rockefeller and
J. p. Morgan. The brokerage houses
which executed the conspicuous buying
orders were those supposed to act habit
tally for the large moneyed interests thus
represented.
Money conditions have been easier and
the low rates for call loans have proved
an attraction for stock market operations
The relaxation In money conditions Is
normal to the period preceding the accum-
Glation in preparation for moving the
crops and has been fostered also by the
measures adopted by the treasury to pro-
teet the money market from bad effects
of the Panama canal bond hotation. The
dissolution of the Russian Douma, and
the resulting unsettlement of foreign mar
kets put an abrupt end to the chance OF
securing gold In London for New York
early in the week This disappointment
seemed to be accepted with equanimity
by the New York market as was the
death of Russell Sage.
As an index of investment conditions
importance was attached to the outcome
of the sale of s125O0,OO0 of New York city
bonds. The small number of bids and low
prices at which they were placed were
accepted as evidence of an extremely
lethargic Investment in them. The ave
erage price, which was less than 10l, COM
pared with above 10S with the preceding
issue of per cent bonds, made striking
contrast.
The sustained rates for time loans has
reacted to coming needs OF the money

Loveman 5. Co.'S Market Letter.

The near approach of bureau day makes
the market nervous. Shorts are afraid
that bulls may make some attempt TO
lift prices and are therefore ready to
take profits on every small decline, Crop
reports, however. are very favorable and
sentiment Is rapidly changing and as soon
as the bureau report is out Of the way
we look for considerable bearish ac-
tivity.
Spot markets throughout the south be-
gin to show the effect of the loss of
support which came solely from the July
squeeze in New Orleans, and which has
so completely fizzled out.
The reports so far published by the
Journal of Commerce show serious crop
deterioration only in Georgia Some dam
age in North and South Carolina. but
exceptionally favorable conditions con-
tinue to prevail throughout Mississippi
and Arkansas There are still to be heard
from the great cotton growing state OF
Texas, where conditions are very favor
able and Louisiana and Oklahoma have
an. exceedingly fine prospect. The state
of Oklahoma will begin its maiden year
with a promise of a million bales of
cotton. There is nothing to indicate that
the coming bureau report will show a
falling off from the July condition. Liver
pool had closed before the Journal OF
Commences report on Mississippi and Ar
kansas was available and on Monday
will have to digest this as well as the
Tines emoerat's monthly review of the
whole crop situation. which as we have
said above, cannot be otherwise than
favorable, on the average. We believe In
selling cotton on every rise and should
not be surprised to see a serious decline
by time new cotton begins to move.

DAYS MOVEMENT
NOT VERY ACTIVE

and Irregular
DEALINGS IN STEEL SMALL
Expectation Expressed That United

Held In Readiness to Protect
Money Market This FALL

New York. July 2S.-The speculative
movement was not very actively pursued
during today's short session at the stock
exchange but protective measures for the
market were evidently in force. the
movement was rather sluggish and irreg-
ular and the price level was held up
by the medium Of some new advances at
points not conspicuous during the week.
The stocks selected were mostly in the
class of industrials and speclalties, es-
pecially amongst the metal industries ana
coalers The stocks of the great trans
continental railroads and the trunk lines
were comparatively quiescent, but not
under active pressure Dealings continued
very large in United States Steel and that
stock rose to within a small fraction Of
90, which had been promised for it this
week, by its speculative sponsors.
Amalgamated Copper and Smelling and
lead stocks were strong and the volatile
high-prieed eoalers made Characteristic
flights The bank statement proved a
disappointment and was followed by a
pronounced reaction in prices. The cash

pected increase and as the deposit item
was swelled in addition by a loan In
crease of nearly S30O0,000, the surplus
was slightly encroached upon by the
added requirement The loan expansion
was reminder of the needs of an ex-
tensiye stock market campaign for ia
oilities The changes in the money sit
uation, however are evidently not SUI
fcient to affect the immediate ease of
call money.
There is an expectation expressed also
in speculative quarters that the surplus
reserve Of the United States treasury will
be held in readiness to protect the money
market from any dangerous stringency
during the fall.
Support was forthcoming at the reae-
ton after the bank statement and some
stocks rallied vigorously to the best of
the day The closing tone was Irregular.

The stock market this week has given
evidence of an awakening from its In

the affairs of the country. There has

Ware & LeIand,s Market letter.


1t was a dull weekend session on the
cotton exchange, featured by some ex-
tremely good crop reports
The report on Mississippi by the jour
nal of Commerce was about the most
bearish piece of market literature ever
put out and fully bore out the most eX-
travagant claims concerning the good
condition of the crop in that state. The
report on Arkansas, by the same paper
was also good. On top of these reports
was a good weather map where poor
one had been expected. In addition TO
these favorable features Liverpool sent
over private cablegramI stating that spin
ners were we'll covered with raw cotton
and could afford to wait and take ad-
vantage of the movement of the new
crop. Yet, the market was steady and
prices refused to go down much or to
stay down after moderate declines had
been made. The reason for this appeared
to be the disposition of shorts to cover
in anticipation of a more bullish feeling
next week in regard to the bureau re-
port on condition.
1t Is safe to say that the majority of
we'll informed operators expect to see a
loss of about . per cent in the condition
figures but on any squirt following the Is
suance of the report some heavy selling
will be seen.
Receipts at Galveston today contained
three bales new cotton. From now on
now cotton will probably show up daily
at the >>Sinelpal points and If the move
ment is any thing like what some people
expect It ought to have considerable
sentimental effect on prices although 1t
cannot be expected that 1t will be heavy
enough to have any direct weight on
the market for a long time to come

day. Prior to the publishing of reports
on outlook in the Carolinas by the New
York Journal of Commerce, some hope
was entertained of the possibilities Of
market advancing, as 1t was generally
expected that, like Georgia, the pros
poets in North and South Carolina would
average very poor. Such hopes were shat
tered, however, upon publishing of the
summary of returns which denoted less
damage during the month than generally
looked for. Georgia, as was to be eX-
pected, showed up very bad and 1t Is said
that considerable deterioration has taken
place which will figure in the bureau re-
