 Saving money is one thing, and keep ing it in place of safety is another, So many persons have had no faith in banks only to find that their skepticism and secretiveness have caused the loss of all they laid by. that the stream of those opening accounts in reliable say ings institutions is growing larger every day.
 Putting the dimes and the dollars away in wooden socks, old tin kettles, under floors, and in other odd places does not pay There is always q load on the mind of the person who has thus se- creted it. and one is never easy when away from the house containing the treasure.
 One instance. peculiarly apt as an il- lustration, recently came to light. The names of the person and bank are with

 Mir Godfogle apologized for the words and then proceeded, "I have looked up ! the statistics. they show that the Hitter i acy in the gentlemans district lMr. Hop-

THE STOCK MARKET
CONFLICTING INFLUENCES RESULT
 IN FEVERISHNESS.
Any Showing of Buying Demand Is Taken Full Advantare of By
 the Selling to Realize Pr0fjfg

New York, July 2.-The load of sell ing which the early trading today and caused by this fact made the market feverish and uneven for time under the conflicting influences of the sell Ing and the demand from the shorts to cover. Later the selling was re- sumed in full force and the market closed weak
 The high opening of prices was ex- eeeded after the first break in the the lies after subsequent breaks. But the fact was obvious that any show of a buying demand was taken advantage of to the full extent to continue the real izing sales. Late in the day free H. quidation was resumed and attempts at support were practically abandoned. the consequence being a violent fall in prices to the lowest on the present movement. A flnrrv i~ thA call loan market was the signal for the enhanced pressure to sell and it was inferred and offered closing ont of speculative holdings. If is not usual for the New fork money market to show immediate relief from the needs of a periodical settlement with the arrival of the date and the extra demand for call loans today did not occasion great surprise.
 It Is the longer tirae -Soney outlook that Is the subject of solicitude. Ire effect of the preparations for paying out $150,000,000 of Lniv disbursements Is expected to pass soon as these disbursements are accomplished. But the tone of the time loan market con- tinued strong with an active demand and very scanty supDly- Sentiment over the money outlonk wac disappoint- ing only an insignihcant portion of large supply of gold which arrived in London on Saturday in spite of the fall in exchange to the nominal gold import point
 Sentiment was little reassured by remainders of large shtnments of Aus tralian gold but which failed of veri- hcation. The price of gold was mark ed up in the London market but dis counts eased there. The heavy and stagnant tone of the forAion stock mar ket was relieved. The issuance of circular by the secretary of the treas ury inviting subscriptions by July 20. to $30,000,000 of Panama canal bonds was regarded as a complication in the prosperous course of the governmant revenues and the surplus in course of accumulation in the treasury have led to an assumption in sonne banking quarters that the immediate needs of the canal work would he supplied out or the treaSury's cash balance and the Notation of bonds for the work was postponed to a more propitious time This hope Is disappointed by the days events.

erop review of The New Orleans Times Democrat, which reported a distinct improvement in the condition or cot ton on June 30th, compared with lase month, would serve to break the oedo- lock that has been in force Tor so long A period, due it Is attributed, to the oversold condition ot the market and manipulation in the July position.
 In summarizing reports sent In py it's correspondents. The Times Demo crat says in part: Distinct improve ment has been the rule. though Geor- gia and certain sections of Caroiinas complain of damage from excessive rains.
 Taking the belt as a whole. there has been practically no abandonment of acreage.
 The cultivation has been good, though labor Is scarce III most dis tricts The boil weevil is reported from some parishes in Louisiana. but the pest seems to be less menacing than in Texas
 There is no doubt but that the re- cent rains have had much to do with the making of such good report, as The New Orleans Picayune mawes men ton of the benefits of the recent have been good rains in all parts of Louisiana past week and in Mississippi the rains have been ample tor cot ton.
 ne CottOn crop IS reported tO De III a splendid conditio in Louisiana promising a record yield. and in Mis- sissippi the crop is reported to be in a most promising condition. the fields are uncommonly clean. and tho plant though a little backward. Is making rapid progress and growing vigorousiy
 Last year Louisiana only made 555.- 900 bales, the year before. the record crop, 100000 bales, this year, 1t is said there are prospects for a banner yield
 Conrcening Texas, reports indicate excellent prospects, southern part oi state promising an even large croI than last season.
 Thus far there has not been report ed the arrival of a new bale, making the first delivery later than since 1900 but the date of the first marketed Is not an index to whether the crop will be an early or a late one.
 In 1904 the first new bale was re- ceived June 18th, against June 22nd in 1901, yet the movement to market in September of 1904 was 1,3c2.000 bales compared with only 706.000 bales iu September of 1901.

By Private Wire to Loveman & Co.,, 36

 New Orleans. La. July 2-The cot ton market had a weak undertone to- day. but bears have been too much covered by the recent squeeze in July to make any very aggressive moves. Most of the selling during the day was for the accounts of longs, wbo liqui- dated in anticipation of bearish bureau report tomorrow. The Times Democrat regular monthly reports said dition of cotton crop had taken place during June, while our own report based on replies from large number of reliable correspondents was of a bearish nature indicating bureau condition tomorrow of approximately ST. The government document will he issued al II o'clock our time tomorrow and will probably put a quietus on those who have been claiming that a general deterioration has taken place in the condition of the crop since the date of the last bureau report.
 Judging from the replies received from our correspondents, throughout the belt, the only section where any marked deterioration has occurred, has been in the Anlantic's. The deterio- ration in the Atlantics. however, has been more than off set by the improved condition recorded in nearly ali other cotton. raising states. We look for a bearish reports, which on account of It's not having been already discounted will probably result in a much lower market; at least. so far as the new crop months are concerned,
 Yours truly.
