SMALL OUTSIDE INTEREST

New York, June 6-The realizing of profits was rather more conspicuous in today,s stock market than the new buying of stocks but the speculative party which is conducting the largest share of the operations in the present market did not relinquish the efforts to hold prices against this realizing by support of special stocks. There were fewer of the stocks among the influential standard issues chosen for that purpose today and more of the less conspicuous and low grade industrials. Most of the supporting eff forts centered on St. Paul and was carried over later into Union Pacific.
 Outside of these there was a miscella- neous list of specialties which rose from time to time and supplemented only slightly the sustaining effect of the leaders. There was a. decided shrinkage in the volume of the market. The char acter of the trading was but little changed and news developments were little regarded and in fact were of no great importance. General outside interest in the market was pronounced to be still . negligible quantity. Mondays buying was professedly based to some extent on an assumption that an early adjournment Of Congress was probable. The selling today which was based on professed dis appointment over a revised prospect of an extended session of the lawmaking body, probably came from the same pro- fessional sources. The easing tendency of the local money market continued and extended to rates for time loans carrying over the end of the year. The amount of business done was reported to be small. Another phase of the money outlook was seen in the rising course of foreign ex- change with the increase in local money supplies. Some of the demand for re- mittance abroad was reported to be to provide for payment of maturing finance bills on which great sums have been borrowed abroad.
 Banking authorities consider it an open question still whether the gold imported against the sudden emergency of the San Francisco calamity and which was bor- rowed in effect, is not destined to flow back to Europe with the relaxation of money rates there rather than be re- tained here against the fall money re- quirements The admitted delay in the

 Today.
 
SALES WERE 175,OOO BALES

New York. June 6.-The cotton market was less active today with fluctuations comparatively narrow and irregular, all though the general tone was steady and the market closed steady at net advance of to points. Sales for the day were estimated at about 175,OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of points, which was hardly as good as due on the cables and immediately after the opening prices eased off to a net loss of to points under local bear pressure and liquidation Within point or two of yesterdays low level, however. better demand developed not only as a result of shorts covering but buying for long account on the theory that any change in the weather would cause an advance and the market during the middle and late session showed an upward tendency. The close was within point or two of the top. The weather continued very favorable in the south and the forecast was for a good day to- morrow. Some private reports of crop damage are being received but advices have bearish average. There were re- ports of a better spot demand from New Orleans According to official advices the southern spot markets were quiet and unchanged to isc lower. The report that a resolution had been introduced into Congress asking for an investigation of the recent acreage report on the ground that the figures given were larger than warranted by the returns from the gov ernment's correspondents had no special influence in the local market.
 Receipts at the ports today were S57s bales, against 11.sS9 last week and 20, All last year. For the week estimated at 50, GOO bales, against 76957 last week and 112,- 43O last year Today5 receipts at New Orleans, 2663 bales, against 5S15 last year and at Houston. 1911 bales, against S54S last year

Abercrombie C Co.'s Cotton Letter.

The market ruled somewhat irregular today by losing about points after opening, when compared with yesterday. closing level. July declining to 1O6s against 1O.75. Weather conditions were favorable, practically no rain west Of the Mississippi river, light showers in central belt and good rains in North Carolina, where moisture was said to be wanted
 Liverpool ruled comparatively steady considering the extended holidays in Man chester spot sales on that account amounting to but 4000 bales at decline of 6 points, middlng falling below the s pence level, quoted at 599. At the low level of the day in American markets shorts showed some disposition to ac- cept profits. and as sensational reports of serious crop damage by a storm in the southern portion of the territories were circulated, longs managed to bring about a little reaction. According to press ad- vices a congressional representative of South Carolina claims to have informa- ton of direct character showing the government acreage of the 4th inst to have been manipulated. and has moved that the returns be gone over again. Whether there is any grounds for such a complaint remains to be seen.

Ware 6. LeIand,s Market Letter.

The cotton market had good under- tone today and displayed considerable resistance to pressure from eleventh-hour bears, who. now that circumstances do not warrant lower prices are determined to force lower level of values.
 Conditions are changing and taking on a decidedly bullish hue. The parity be- tween New Orleans and Liverpool has widened until today 1t Is 76 points, which allows exporters to do world of business with the other side.
 The result of this may be a natural squeeze in July, for exporters are buying that option freely with the intention Of demanding cotton for their contracts.
 It is almost out of the question to buy any quantity of spot cotton in the open market because of the firmness of holders.
 Factors had a very slim assortment spread on their tables today, for which they wanted all kinds of fancy prices, Liverpool good middling being worth about 50 points on July and fully good about 70. A long time ago when the basis for Liverpool good middling was about 92 on July. we predicted that 1t would go to 45. The prediction has been more than fulfilled.
 With such conditions ruling in the spot market it is no wonder that exporters look at the July position as the simplest solution of their difficulties
