 Rates on call money continued easy. Discounts declined also In London and Berlin. Foreign exchange here was firm. The poor reception given to the new Man chIrian railroad loan abroad was a detri- ment to the market and was accepted as significant of the continued lethargic of the investment demand. In the case of the local money market, it Is in face of payments since the last bank statement of some $26,000,0 ,000 on syndicate accounts for the Union Pacific convertible bond installment and for American Telephone stock One of the features of the invest ment situation is the constant recurrence of such requirements as these for capital issues made some time tgo and can be pad for ir periods running far into the future.

LITTLE ACTIVITY
 IN STOCK MARKET Mild Opposition Develops to
 Declining Tendency CALL MONEY STILL EASY
Operators In Stocks Keep One Eye on Commodities and Also Watch Closely the Railway DiVi-
 dend Announcements.

New York, July 2s.-There developed in the stock market today a mild oppo- sition to declining tendencies which seemed to arrest that tendency without making any attempt to push prices az gressively upwards. The result was a dull market which approached stagna- ton at times. The only active trading ssas in half dozen stocks and the prices of these vibrated within a narrow range. The days news about the stock exchange was made up almost wholly of the gossip Concerning the dividend to be made on Southern Pacific. The large earnings for last year disclosed by the official esti mates given out last week gave the basis for tho rumors that the rate would be raised from the present per cent. The traders on the floor expressed among themselves varying opinions as to wheth- CT the rate would be increased to six or seven per cent. No authoritative infor- nation was forthcoming on the subject from any source.
 The manner in which Union Pacific has hung back since the new movement in Southern Pacific started aroused suspi- cion, as Union Pacific would be the larg-' est beneficiary of any increase in the Southern Pacific dividend. The strength shown by Atchison was attributed to the expectation that the annual report to be published on Thursday will show earn ings very largely in excess of the pres ent disbursements in dividends. The move ment in Atchison also gives some stimu- 1ation to the demand for the convertible bonds, only part of which were sub scribed for by the stockholders. It thus happened that Southern Pacific and Atch- ison were the sustaining forces in the market in the same way yesterday. There was a correction also of the sharp weakness of United States Steel, which was a material feature in disturbing the market yesterday and in the opening de- cline today. Buyers of tne stock pro fessed confidence that the strike of iron miners in the Lake Superior regions would

SLIGHT ADVANCES IN COTTON MARKET Bull Control is Arrested Early
 in the Day SHORTS TRYING TO COVER Market Opens at Decline Under Bear Pressure, But Good Demand and
 Bull Support Sends Prices
 Up to Higher Plane.
SHORTS TRYING TO COVER

New York July 23.-The cotton market had a further advance during today's trading, with the close steady at a net ad- vance of to 2S points; the active new crop months were about to points netshigh- CT. Sales for the day were estimated at 450,0OO bales. The market opened steady at a decline of to points under scattering liquidation and bear pressure, encouraged by lower cables. But there was a good demand on the reports of a very high temperature in eastern and central sec tions of the belt the reported advance of Hsc in the market for print cloths and cables from Manchester reporting a bet ter demand in cotton goods from India and China.
 A prominent local spot house with New England connections was a notable buyer on the advice arousing rumors that New England spinners were hedging their re- quirements, and there were rumors that concentrated short interests were attempt ing to reduce their lines. october sold up to 1195 in the early afternoon or about 15 points net higher, and new crop months generally showed net gains of about 13 to 15 points, while there was a sale of July at 131o or 25 points net higher. August was relatively easy. July showed the maximum gain at the close owing to a scattering demand from belated shorts and absence of offerings.
 The first bale of the Georgia crop was received at Savannah today, which is a little ahead of the average, although the general crop is believed to be unusually late. Receipts at the ports today were 1857 bales against 172S last week and 6o6o last year. For the week, 10000 bales, against 10, S61 last week and 29,52S last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were IS bales, against 1897 last year; and at Hous- ton, 1015, against 675 last year.
