LESS ACTIVE DAY
 IN COTTON MARKET Trading Was Irregular and
 Close at Low Point SALES WERE 75OOO BALES Cd Crop Months Were Relatively Easy and August Showed the Maxi
 mum Loss-Private Crop
 Advces Were Good.
SALES WERE 750OO BALES

New York, July 1.-The cotton market was a little less active than yesterday and ruled irregular with the close steady at net decline of ? to 3 points, which was practically the low point of the ses- sion. Sales for the day were estimated at 75,00O bales
 Tho market opened steady at a decline of 1 to 3 points in pant responsible to lower cables and favorable weather, but immediately advanced on little scatter ing demand for long account and cover ing Local professionals sold on the bulge, and when the overnight buying orders had been executed. the market turned easier, ruling very quiet during the mid dle session within a point or two of last nights close. In the late trading there was some selling for the account of early buyers and prices eased off another point or two. Old crop months were rel atively easy, and August showed the max imum loss. With the exception of some funther complaints from the eastern belt, private crop advices were generally good.
 Receipts at the ports today We're 3t99 bales, against 2473 last week. and Sl26 last year. For the week estimated 3OO0o bales against 25572 last week and S5 7o3 last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans, 549 bales, against 2043 last year, and at Houston 426 bales against 2696 last year

Abercrombie & Co.'s Market Letter.

The reaction which set in yesterday was brought to halt today by the weather map showing no rain in the south Atlantic where longs were wont to exaggerate the little injury that might have occurred in that section of the belt by the recent rains.
 As was the case yesterday Savannah was the only district in the eastern DOT ton of the cotton region that reported any rain of consequence, the average for the district which covers the coast sec ton, amounting to only 80 of an inch. Atlanta and Wilmington recorded only 01 and Augusta but a trace and Charles ton none.
 Liverpool cabled that the early ad- vance there of points which was a full response to the American advance of yesterday. was due to shorts having covered freely there this morning on un- favorable crop accounts from the Atlantic states. but that the top had been reached for the present, unless unfavorable wet weather should continue east of the Mis- sissippi river as result of such de- yelopments there was little change in values compared with yesterday. the mar ket ruling quiet, but steady throughout the session, trading being light Crop re- ports from Alabama. the Mississippi val lev and Texas show a marked improve ment for the past two weeks, rains hav- ing been general and heavy, but not ex- cessive. Aemi-monthly reports on the condition of the crop are about due and it is probable that a higher average con dition will be reported than the averages at the close of June. For the present, however there appears to have been dis tributed a sufficient amount of moisture in all sections of the belt, except. per haps, in certain sections of certain states, which is to be expected when the fm- mense area of the cotton territory Is taken into consideration

elbert e cIay,s Market Letter.

Liverpool market was some better but later eased off somewhat and several ca- bles expressed the opinion that the top for the time being had been reached. Options gained 3 points on the close, while spot quotations were marked up 6 points, sales amounting to 40O0 bales.
 The covering of shorts continued today but on a much smaller scale than on the previous day. However, the absence of rain in the Atlantics and the preva- lence of wet weather in Mississippi and Alabama, where moisture is needed were bearish features that later brought about a slight decline. but there was no pro nounced selling movement and prices seemed rather to conform to the infiu- ences of the moment. Showers tonight and tomorrow are expected over almost the entire cotton growing district, but doubtless any detriment to the crop in some localities will be offset by benefits in others.
 Sentiment. however. is inclined to the belief that moisture in portions of the eastern belt has been for the time being sufficient, but judging from the records of the past, the advent of frequent rains during the month of July has proven very much more beneficial than other wise to the growing plant.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-07-12

today on short covering and more new buying by those who concluded that rains in the Atlantic states had caused some crop deterioration.
 The market ruled steady from the open ing and there was not much cotton for sale on the rise as many had expected.
 The cotton bought yesterday failed 10 come on the market; there was some difficulty in buying any large quantity of cotton save on an advance of prices
 The demand was of a persistent, rather than of an urgent nature, and this left the undertone very steady.
 Reports from the south of too much grass in fields in the eastern belt with rain predictions for tomorrow, prevented aggressive short selling and there was not as much bear hammering as for the past few days
 As a large crop will be needed and the crop has yet to undergo three trying months, the disposition to sell is only manifested or sharp advances.
 There is noth' ng upon which to base th belief that a radical change in Che m zll>tr is under way. Fluctuations are likely to be irregular.

a discount, indicating a cash movement away from New York The S12,50O,0O0 New York city bonds offering was brought to the attention by the official circular fixing July 25 for the closing of bids. The withdrawal of government deposits, the Panama bond subscriptions and other re- quirenlents, which are to be met in the money market this month, were thus brought newly into consideration. X de- posit at the sub-treasury for transfer to San Francisco was a reminder that the meeting of insurances losses there con- tinues to be an element in the money mar ket.
 The show of strength in the grain mar kets was hardly an influence on stocks. as it was attributed to damage to Tor eign crops rather than our own. Some attention was given to reports of further cutting of grain rates by western rafl- roads, which could not be argued to be of advantage to values of the stocks. Weakness of the market for copper an London helped to depress the copper group in the stock market. The break in Colorado Fuel was interpreted as pool Humiliation, and helped to the reversal of the earlier movement in the general list. The final transactions proved the largest of the day, and the closing was weak at substantial not declines

Loveman 6 Co.'s Market Letter.

Liverpool al first made a full response to our strength of yesterday but easod off afterwards under heavy selling by spot people, according to reports received by cables. Notwithstanding this reaction, our market opened very steady andg the first small decline was speedily recovered. Shorts were plainly worried over this display of strength and there was consid- erable covering, and a further advance of several points It soon became appar- of cotton for sale on any rise and the word expressed that the bull leader was leaking and that heavy sales were for his account. This put a stop to further advance and throughout the balance of the day there was little effort to advance prices Room traders had all gone long in anticipation of a repititon of yester- days spurt, and when they found no further manipulation were obliged to let go their holdings at a loss. Prices showed a disposition to sag during the latter part of the day and closed to down from the extreme top. Complaints of boil weevI lis and their effect on young bolls was circulated here, but without any apparent influence on the minds of the traders. Taken as a whole. crop accounts con tinue favorable the main bulish claim being that the plant is small and there fore incapable of producing as much fruit as would a full sized stalk. This, however is a poor argument to use against the usually good weather with which the greater part of the belt is being favored. Liverpool is due to come lower in the morning.

SELLING WAS HEAVY IN THE FINAL HOUR Professionals Tried to lnaugur- ate Upward Movement HILL STOCKS AFFECTED Advances Were lndifferentIy Held for Time and Then Gave Way With

 Position.
HILL STOCKS AFFECTED

New York, July 1.-The torpor of the stock market was unreieved today in spite of the small increase in the volume of the days dealings due to the selling Of the final hour. The professional ele- ment attempted to inaugurate an upward movement of prices. The attempt was based on the evidence yesterday that pressure was off the market, and on the assumption that considerable uncovered short interest must exist which could be made to subserve a purpose to advance prices by driving them to cover. The various rumors, which were advanced to help on the upward movement showed no novelty in conception. having served their purpose many times already. The revival of the subject of the Great Northern ore lands deal, was affected by cabled rumor from London quoting an anonymous drec- tor of the United States steel corpora tlon as positively asserting that the project has been completed.
 The volatile Hill stocks were the only ones to show much effect. St. Paul moved under the Influence of subsequent reports tn connection with the supposed plans

 The easier conditions in the money mar ket normal to the early part of July, were maintained, but no confidence was felt In their permanency. The statement of the sub-treasury operations showed an absorption from the banks for the day of g, GOO, principally due to the return of government deposits. The loss of the banks to the government since the last bank statement amounts to $4, 296 600.
