Ware & Leland,s Market Letter.

A sharp advance of a quarter of a cent in July cotton in New Orleans. mak- ing the advance 1ac in two days, infused considerable steadiness in the cotton mar ket today.
 Liverpool advances were very dsap- pointing in that the initial advance of 4 to points was not~held. the foreign mar ket closing unchanged for the day. But the desire to buy cotton on the part of shorts was in evidence at the opening and prices ruled steady during the en- tire session. An improvement of or ' points took place in July and other months advanced fraetionally.
 Reports from the south show favorable progress of the crop. but 1t Is evident there Is not enough short selling at the present time. on a basis of 10Ac to carry on a decline.
 Some very competent Judges of cotton have been buying for two days on the theory that pressure Is now off the mar ket following the July deliveries and that any change in the favorable tenor of crop accounts would find very little cotton for sale when buyers attempted to purchase.
 The undertone of the market has shown more strength since yesterday morning than for some time past.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-01
Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

July shorts in this market were given a touch of high life today Those who had ridiculed the Idea of the possibility of a corner in the July position here walked up today to the fact that July was prac- tieally eornered.
 The result was that there was some frantic efforts to buy back their short Julys, and had it not been for the con- servative attitude shown by the bull lead CTS, who offered cotton freely around 1l.2o for July to prevent too rapid an ad- vance. there is no telling just how high prices on July would have gone. The days developments proved conclusiveiy that the bull pool recently formed here to protect the market from the repeated assaults of New York and local bears is @ power to be reekoned with. It is head ed by men who have proven, on other oe- casions their ability to do Just what they set out to do. There is now some talk to the effect that after the July deal here has been brought to a successful con- cusion, the New Orleans bull leaders will go on to New York, where 1t is thought that the situation for a profit able bull campaign is even more favor able than 1t is here. There has been some heavy selling of August in that mar ket in the last several weeks, and by this time somewhat of short interest must have been accumulated in that po- sition. We merely mention this as one of the possibilities to be reekoned with in sizing up the outlook for the market

STOCK PRICES ARE F ORCED DOWN LOWER Several Stocks Make Low Re-
 cords for the Year SELLING VERY GENERAL Motive for the Liquidation of the Past Week Is In Dispute, But Liquida-
 ton Has Been Very
 Pronounced.

New York, June So.-The liquidation in securities was continued today with the result of forcing prices still wore and adding to the number of stocks to make low records for the year. Tine liquidation was somewhat spotty and few stocks showed evidence of good support or of relief from pressure by the extent of the liquidation already effected.
 There Is no borrowing of money on the stock exchange on Saturday, so that the market was free from that influence, but the appearance of the bank statement was the signal for fresh selling and a fall in prices to the lowest of the day Only part of the expected gain in cash was reflected In the statement and loan con- traction of less than million following the severe liquidation which has been going on in the stock market increased the feeling of anxiety over the apparent ay instatla'ble demand fo: credits, which keeps pace with every addition to bank ing resources and with every reduction of accommodations to speculative bor- rowers. Uncovered shorts showed an alert tendency to cover at all available declines and this kept the tone of the market un- settled and irregular between the periods of declines
 The inclination of the bears to cover was stimulated by the prospect that Mon day would find Congress adjourned. Some account was taken also of the prospect of securing gold in London for import to New York next week. While the pre- vaiing level of exchange Is as low as that during the last gold import move ment it Is pointed out that the banks ad- mittedly counted the previous gold en- agreements in their reserves as soon as secured abroad even before the secretary of the treasury allowed advances of gov ernment deposits when gold was engaged At the present time the banks are en- joined from adopting this measure. The hanks have already received an injunction from the controller to restrict loans to individuals to amount within 10 per cent of their capital and surplus and not to exceed in any event 30 per cent of the capital. This is in accordance with the new law which extends the limit of per- missible loans beyond the old restriction to 10 per cent of capital. But the old re-

Abercromble 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

International markets ruled irregular to- day. Liverpool being very disappointing, closing about unchanged from yesterday afternoon having been about to points higher and New Orleans, instead of open ing somewhat lower, practically remained unchanged at the opening, advancing sharply thereafter on covering by shorts in the July option which advanced to Il. 20 and October to 1029
 Weekend developments and surface fea- lures were in favor of a lower market, the Chronicles weekly weather and crop review being favorable, spinners takings were smaller than looked for, l530OO against 194,000 the corresponding week one year ago and Liverpool, on account of liouidation in July and August, made a very feeble response to the improve ment established in America yesterday.
 There appeared to be some suppressed nervousness on the part of shorts in sum- mer months, however, probably because of the stopping of about 60,000 bales ten dered at New York yesterday and possi- bly on account of the firmness of southern spot markets.
 The crop in South Texas appears to be a little late in maturing, due. no doubt to the late cold spring. As yet new bale has not put In its appearance. where as last year Galveston reported the arrival of the first bale on June 26 the year before last on June 16. The local future market being governed by conditions in the spot department, the influence of new crop nrospects was cast aside for the moment, excent that the lateness of the crop was referred to as a bullish feature in con- nection with the operations in July.

Gilbert & Co.'s Market Letter.

Opening prices in the Liverpool mar ket were more in accord with expecta- tions, but the heavy liquidation of July had an unfavorable effect and options closed unchanged at yesterdays quota tions. spot sales only 4OOO bales at an ad- vance of points.
 The manipulation of the July position was distinctly the feature of today's trad ing. and unprotected shorts found them selves in a most uncomfortable position. To just what extent the squeeze may be carried depends entirely upon the action of the holders of spot cotton.
 Weather reports are excellent, but until Julys are more or less completely re- moved as a market factor little or no interest Is expected to be centered in the new crop months. Nevertheless. the plant is making splendid progress. and without the influence of reflected support prices would undoubtedly show a not unreason- able susceptibility to bearish tactics.
