COTTON MARKET
 HAS QUIET TIME Prices Ruled Irregular Within
 Narrow Range SALES WERE 75,O0O BALES The Close Was at Net Decline of 2 to Points-coverine Checked
 the Decline Before
 Midday.
SALES WERE 75,OOO BALES

New York, July 9.-The cotton market was very quiet during today's session, sales for the day being estimated at 75,- GOO bales. Prices ruled irregular within a narrow range and closed at a net de- cline of two to five ponits
 The opening was 1 to points lower in spite of steady English cables and short ly afterwards the market showed a net loss of five to six points on the more active months under scattering liquida- ton bear pressure which was inspired by reported rains in the southwest where moisture has been needed. Covering checked the decline before midday and the market rallied two or three points during the middle session. Partly as a re- suit of a firm spot report and partly owing to reports that local stocks were to be reduced some 5000 to 10000 bales as a result of shipments from here to New Orleans for delivery on nearby contracts there Later, however. the market eased off again under official confirmation of more or less general rains in Texas which were reported privately early in the day. and the market closed within a couple of points of the lowest.
 Receipts at the ports today, 10,116 bales against last week and 9S64 last year. For the week estimated 25,OO0 bales against 25 OOO last week and S5,7 ,7OS last year, To- days receipts at New Orleans 56O bales against 20s4 last year and at Houston 474 bales against 2,S27 last year.

 forts Were Futile LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Conservatism Seems to Be the Key note In the Stock Market In View

 Crop Moving.
LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

New York, July 9.-The symptoms of the pressure being off the stock market which prompted the rallying tendency of the latter part of last week showed them- selves again today to some extent But this failed to attract any demand for stocks or encourage an attempt to get prices higher. The most notable conse- uuenee of this state of affairs was the shrinkage in the volume of the specula- tion, the days aggregate transaction fall Ing to a smaller figure than for many weeks past. Immediate developments played but a small part in the action of the market, but the general outlook on the future was kept in consideration, es- pecially on the side of the money mar ket. Conservative action in speculation matters was felt to be desirable, and, in fact, necessary to insure a safe progress through the coming period of crop moving and active demand for me ey incident to it. Pressure from influential banking sources and admonition, not through pub lie channels, but by personal injunction In many cases, are believed to be em- ployed to effect this course.
 Large banking resources are not avail able for speculative attempt to lift prices, and banking opinion is believed to favor and unfettered price movement. If prices seek a lower level it is considered de- sirable not to oppose artificial restraints. and it is urged that if further liquida- tion should be found necessary and it should start suddenly from a level of prices so high as to offer no attraction for the absorption of offerings, a dlsas- trous outcome might follow. The Sat urday bank statement with the surplus showing reduced to $6, 465, ,O75, had it's con- tinuing effect in chilling speculative en- thusiasm. Railroad earnings and traffic reports, mercantile advices, trade and in- dustrial activity and other indications of undimnished general prosperity gave rise to repetition of a well known Wall street argument advanced in times of tight money formulated in the term 'too much prosperity"
 The suggested absurdity Is due. of course, to fallacy in the argument It is found in the assumption of an exhaus- tion of supplies of capital involved in ac- tive extension of enterprise. Profitable
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-10

investment in successful enterprise means increase and depletion of available capi- tal The borrowing of capital, it's expend- iture in enterprise that produces wealth, and the lodgment of securities issued in the process may go on indefinitely with out other effect than the constant in crease of wealth and capital.
 But an interruption at any step in the process clogs the whole machinery and produces what is so strikingly defined by a foremost capitalist as indigestion of securities. The cause of the closing is doubt of success of the outlay in pro- ducing wealth equal to meet carrier charges, which makes the securities un- saleable beyond first hands, which employ borrowed money to carry them, and so leave financial affairs dependent on their liquidation to restore the free current of their flow and their mobility. Finan- cial leaders at this time are growing into accord in favoring a pause In the process of outlay until the change of the finan- cal currents are somewhat cleared of the Instructions of doubt and until de- mand improves for securities. Some at- tention was attracted by English flnan- cial criticism of Wall streets speculative demands for funds, and bankers here ex- pressed an opinion that movement of gold from London would not be forced at this time from danger of prejudicine the facilities for a movement in the fall when greater need might exist
 The constant fluctuations of the day in the stock market reflected the shifting operations of room traders. The closing was firm at recoveries, but far from last weeks levels. Reiterated reports of the floating of a St. Paul loan in Paris, which had some semblance of authority helped the late recovery.

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Midsummer dullness characterized the state of the market today. Reports of further rains in Southeast Texas were needed. combined with a poor Liverpool, a downward trend to prices early in the day when October contracts sold as low as 1920 At this level, however, shorts showed disposition to cover and there was some fresh buying based on the continuance of rainy weather in the Atlantic states, all of which served to prevent any further decline. Crop re- ports, as published today by leading southern newspaper covering the entire belt. were favorable except as regards the eastern cotton states where con- ditions, none too good a week ago, have apparently become worse. With the rather large scattered short interest now existing in the market favorable crop reports from all sections of the belt would seem to be necessary in order to hold prices down to the present level. Should crop conditions in the Atlantics become still worse, as from the present outlook, they seem likely to, full fiedged crop scare might develop.

Gilbert 6 cIay's Market Letter.

Options on the close of the foreign mar ket were decidedly easy on continued fa- vorable crop news, netting a loss of 6 points, while spot sales were 5000 bales at points decline The circulation of a few notices had a depressing effect upon July, which was luther increased by a report from New York to the eff feet that some cotton had been shipped from that point here for July delivery and more would shortly follow. This weakness in July affected the other posi- tions as we'll which have hitherto held up surprisingly we'll in the face of bear ish weather conditions, having been more or less dominated by the influence of un- certainty as to the final outcome of the current month. The weather continues in the main very favorable. and crop pros poets at the present time are excellent indeed, The expressed fear that the con tinued rains in the Atlantics are detri- mental to the development of the crop is not borne out by like conditions in the past, especially in the bumper crop year when rains occurred frequently during June and July in that section, and in reality caused an unmlstakable improve ment and a larger yield.
