THE STOCK MARKET

New York, July 2s.-There was little dis position either to advance or to lower prices or stocks for most of the session today and the market was an excessively dull affair The indisposition to advance left the market vulnerable to . dead weight and caused the sahsslhf tendency which led ultimately to the sharp break In the final hour. The course or the trading was the further outgrowth of the tendencies developed ever since tho checked last week. With the perception that the leadership of this group in a spec uiative movement was not to be forthcom- ing for the present, any considerable opera tons Tor an advance have been abandoned.
 The uncertainties of the money outlook bore heavily on sentiment. The Saturday It's showing of the equal pace with which credit expansion was keeping up with the reserve inrcease, in spite of the imminent sumption of the gold import movement to France confirmed the expectation of the later part of last week but It was none the banking reserves Still more impressive was the scramble which occurred for the :; ,000.- coo of bar gold available in the London market. The urgent competition the price up 1 b pence and took all but S1 500.- 900, against the efforts of the Bank of Eng land for shipment to the continent. suppos- the demand for gold proved dsconcerting to financial feeling. Meantime there was forced liquidation in British consols an after-effect of the recent Egyptian embar- rassments and fall in that security to s2 11-16, thus exceeding the low price of few months ago establishing a new low record for 4s years past The sentimental effect of these incidents on investment feel ing was unavoidable and wes felt in New York.
 London financial critics are combining in warnings to the banking world there of the danger of another rise in the Bank of England rate to six per cent this fall and of the humiliation it would be to have to appeal again to the Bank of France for re- lief was done last fall. The draiH on London's gold last fall is attributed by these critics to the over-extension of credits to American borrowers and it is aGains. s.his excess that warnings principally direct- ed.
 At the same time the special necessity that is urged for building up of reserves abroad at this time is the likelihood that gold will have to be shipped to New York in payment for foodstuffs
 New York Central was the subject of ru- mors of bad showing of earnings for the last quarter. Reports of rust in the spring wheat were of some effect on stocks. The call money market felt the influence of the growing demand upon bank resources and the rise in the call loan rate contributed to the late weakness of the stock market. Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value $S40. .00O. United States bonds were unchang- ed on call.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York, July 2s.-The cotton market was nervous and irregular during todays trading with the close barely steady at net decline of 26 points on July. net ad- vance of thirteen points on Auxus. ana ons to four points net higher on the sNssr
 Sales for the day were estimated at sso.- 600 bales.
 The opening was barely steady at net advance of three points to a decline Of Tour points the advance being on August which vas influenced by covering and the absence Of notices while the new crop was lower under reports of showery weather in eastern and central sections of the belt. The Tact that no August notices of consequence were put seemed to create a favorable impression on the bull side of the market. and with brokers believed to be representing the bear leaders buyers of winter months prices advanced after the opening, ruling quite firm during the middle session on the de tailed weather reports showing coh''hueu dry hot weather in Texas.
 After selling at II. 60 for August. or 25 points net higher and at a net gain Of four teen to eighteen points on the actiVe new crop months. however. the market yielded to realizing by early buyers and a rehe~a reporting rains in the neighborhood Of waco Fort Worth and Dallas.
 Trading in July will be over al noon on Wednesday and there was very little busi- ness in that portion during today's trading Just before the close it sold at II bo. closing at that price Some further deliveries are expected on July tomorrow or next day.

EXTENDS THE TIME.
No Increase in Duty On Porto Rican
 Coffee.

COuee.
 Washington, July 29.-A cablegram was received at the State Department today from Ambassador White con- firmatory of the press report that the French government had extended from August 1 until October 31 the operation of the decree which permits Porto Rican coffee to enter France at the minimum tarin rate
 The department already had been notified that the French government had consented to accept as sufficient Department of Agriculture. though the decision in this case Is also only tenn porary in its operation in both cases.
 The purpose of the French govern ment is to avoid injury to American trade pending the reaching of some satisfactory tariff arrangement be- tween the two countries. In the case that the result will be beneficial to the American packing interests.
 The insistence of the French gov ernment upon the old form of micro- scopic tests after they had been dis continued by the American Department of Agriculture has operated to put an absolute stop to all shipments of Amer ican meats into France for the past year and it is hoped that the new or der will reopen that trade.
 Inquiry here develops the fact that the administration is proceeding upon the theory that there has been no such change indicated in the tariff views Of the majority of the United States Sen- ate as would warrant negotiations looking to the preparation of gem eral reciprocity treaty with France In lieu of that which has for several years remained unapproved in the Sen

of Tenement House.
 New York. July 29.-After an all nights search of the ruins or the SIX story tenement at No. FEE Christs street. which was burned shortly af- fer midnight, the police announced that there were twenty victims of the fire. The bodies of the dead were found in all sorts of unexpected places to which they had fled when the fire broke out Almost all of the bodies were burned beyond recognition. majority of the victims, the police be- lieye, were women and children.

 Only five of the victims have been identified up to an early hour today. They were:
 Marlite de Delic, his wife. Amelia and their two infant children.
 Frank Shields, Dedridden cripple who was carried out alive by the hre' men but who succumbed to his fnJu' ries soon after his rescue

H. q B. BEERS COTTON LETTER.
Fly Private Wire to c. c. AbercrOmbie q Co.,,
 32 Commerce St


 New Orleans. July 29.-The market acted contrary to logical expectations today, hay ing advanced after opening a shade easier on official reports of beneficial showers in all cotton states except Texas where dry. hot weather was still complained of this morning The strength of the market Is attributed to the failure of shorts to make good their threat of last week to deliver about 100. 900 bales on August contracts, ad- that not more than 5000 bales were tender cd. Aside from this favorable feature weekly crop reviews by Interior merchants were not as satisfactory as were reports on on progress of the growing crop by leading Southern journals. the recent hot. dry general tenor of complaint. In it's reports on development of the crop during the past month. The New York Journal of Commerce summarized conditions in Arkansas and Louisiana in a manner that denoted prospects in the western half of the belt to be far below the outlook east of the Mississippi river. the lateness of the season, quite a full month in Arkansas and the backward oe the plant and poor stands In Lou isiana. being the menace to the crop,
 Rumor has 1t that the National Ginners' Association makes the improvement for the month about five points. which would ind- cate Government Bureau August crop con dition of about TT since the report of the National Ginners' Association last month 72.S. As result of the rains in the central and eastern sections of the belt over Sunday it Is probable that tomorrow's week ly government weather report will not be so unfavorable except perhaps, for the dis tricts of the western half of the belt espe- cially Texas. Whatever be the construction to bo placed upon the government week ly the effect of the same will probably be only temporary all interest will have then been confined to probabilities of the government monthly condition bulletin which is due next Friday.
 It is more than likely that a condition of about 73 will be the pivot on which the market will swing. for while anything less than so would be bullsh. the trade is look ing for an improvement of not more than six points; the improvement last month hay ing been only one and one-half points. This afternoon reports of 1t raining at Fort Worth and Dallas Texas, North Texas. were re- ceived and as beneficial rains were re- ported in early morning from points in Ala hama Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee. if is expected that the weather map will show more favorable conditions in the morn, nwer Texas The lateness of the crop, how ever. makes us cling to the long side of the market.
 Yours truly,
