THE STOCK MARKET
LIsTLEss INDIFFERENCE WAS D0MIN- ANT TONE.
Further Outgo of Gold on Thursday has Been Taken for Granted Owing to Facilities by Fast
 Steamers.

New York. June 1s.-Listless indifference was the dominant tone of the stock market today. There was some extension in the early dealings of yesterdays upward move ment, the expiration of first hour all of the buying oders in sight had been execut- ed and left the market easily vulnerable to subsequent reaction. The announce ment of an engagement of gold for export to Paris tomorrow also served to reinforce the warning of depletion of money market resources. further outgo of gold on Thursday has been taken for granted owing that day. The anticipation of the move. ment by day carried a suggestion of urgency which caused sensational impress sion.
 Taken with the shipments of last satur- day and the expected outgo on Thursday, today's engagement also points to an ex- banks before the week is out. Both the call and time money markets were affected by the outlook today and ruled ct higher rates. London also was reported disturb ed over the money outlook and British con sols slipped a fraction lower than the re- cent low record for upwards of sixty years past Discounts in the London market held practically at the bank rate. fur their advance in meantime the sterling ex- cusion of possible inducements to be offer. ed by the Bank of England to draw gold from New York.
 The vanishing surplus reserves with the eve of the sem-annual settlements ap- preaching discouraged any disposition 10 extend marginal holdings in the stock mar ket.
 Some brokers profess the hope that the sums to be disbursed in the progress of the semi-annual settlements in- cluding the redemption of government four per cents. of 1907 may stimulate investment demands. Up to this time, however, there has been no sign of the preliminary buying for investment. especially in the bond mar ket which precedes ordinarily a period Of distribution of profits.
 It is the conviction of some of the inves- tigation of the commission houses that there is connection of this character that would become active on any significant sign that the long campaign in prices has ended
 A probable index of the character or the recent operations in Reading was the ru- nor set afoat of buying in the Union Pa. cific interest looking to the formation or an to ocean system. This rumor seemed too grandiose to fit the extremely modest dimensions of todays market ana had much to do with awakening suspicion and promising selling to realize Reading and Union Pacific so far overshadow"d the whole market in activity that their reaction carried prices whole downward Cheer- ful reports that the crop regions and the favorable weekly bulletin of the weather bureau did not avail to arrest the reaction tendency. The plan to distribute S20O.ooo to stockholders of the Adams Express Com pany caused a ten points rise in that stock but was without influence generally from the days business.
 Bonds were steady. Total sales par value ss14,ooO United States bonds were unchans- ed on call.

Chicago, June 1s.-Additional reports of damage to winter wheat in Kansas form today in the wheat market. At the close wheat for September delivry was up hc. Corn showed a net gain of Ac. Oats were %c higher Provisions were up . shade to 12hc.
 Many of the advices from Kansas were extremely pessimistic declaring that because of the injury by green bugs and unfav- orable weather the new crop will not run more than eight bushels to the acre. Re- already begun to yield in that state were very disappointing averaging from three to five bushels per acre. These advices were supplemented by reports from the spring wheat country that an army of green bugs" is advancing with reat rapidity, through almost all day A decrease of 3.50O,00O bushels in the worlds visible supply as ence. Trading was active all day and the

 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 17l,6o0 bushels. Primary receipts were 390.000 against 267,000 bushels for the same day last year.
 Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of s37 cars. against ss7 cars last week and 241 cars year ago
 The corn market was firm for the greater part of the day because of an active de- mand from commission houses and cash
 
 sales by shippers and numerous reports from Illinois telling of late seeding were factors that 'aided the bulls. Offerings came mainly from holders. The close was steady September opened A @%c higher at 52Nc to 5Sc, sold between 52ss @ %c and SSbc and closed at 53c.
 The feature of trading in oats was the activity and strength of the July delivery which was in urgent demand by shorts. The likelihood that very little grain from the new crop will be available for delivery on July contracts caused the brisk demand
 Reports of damage by green bugs" in the oat fileds of Illinois, Indiana and Iowa had a strengthening effect upon the more distant deliveries. The market closed strong.

 New Orleanc. June 1s.-With spot cotton throughout the South selling cn the basis of 12%c to 13Hc for middling and advices from Southwest Texas to the effect that buyers in that section are bidding 1c for the first arrivals of the new crop, the first bale of which has yet to make Its appear ance, shorts in new crop deliveries October and beyond are not at all comfortable not withstanding weather to be favorable and crop conditions to be improving. Develop ments of the day were much in favor of sellers in the early morning for while Liver pool was better than expected. closing one point higher than yesterday, news from the fields was of a more cheerful character The official forecast was for probably show and cooler weather for the western half of the belt which If realized was ex- pected to bring relief to drought stricken sections of west Texas, and in a general way to all that section of the country west of the Mississippi river. in which district unless rains soon make their appearance again. the cry for moisture might become widespread.
 bearish weekly report weather past week was expected by Il o'clock. at which the first half of June was to be announc- ed by a prominenc statistician. Consequent ly there was more or less selling of fall and winter months in the early hours. under the pressure of which October sold down to l1.61.
 The publishing of the government weekly weather report was something in the way of surprise in that it told of considerable damage having been inflicted on the crops in the two Carolinas, Georgia and Ala bama. by heavy rains and hail It also confirmed reports of the want of rain In that the Memphis district was beginning to suffer for the want of moisture. claiming rain to be needed in west Tennessee.
 The semi-monthly report referred to showed an improvement in the condition of the crop of 5.3 points for the first two weeks of June ss7 63 4. on June 1st. and compared with s4 3 on June 18th last year. The acreage was said to be 32.476.- 900 acres, or about the same as that of the

WILL TAYLOR IN JAIL.
He Is Suspected of Killing Superintend
 ent Lang,

Chief Deputy Sheriff Charles Oakley returned today to Contreville from Bir- mingham. bringing with him Will Fay Tor. charged with murder
 The arrest of Taylor recalls the as- sassiRation of w. J. Lang. superin- tendent of the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company, at Blocton, who was shot from ambush about two years ago. After the killing of Super intendent Lang reward of VI 900 was offered by the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad Company for the capture of the murderer but up to the time of the arrest. of Taylor the killing has been a profound mystery. Lang was killed during the time of the protracted strike of the coal miners in the Birmingham district and many thought his death was the result of the bitter feeling be tween the coal operators and coal min CTS.
 Some chung to the theory that Langs death was caused by the accidental dis charge of his own pistol.
 Taylor has been lodged in jail and his case will come up at the August term of che Circuit Court Lang was a man of high character. and his mur- der caused much indignation ip this section.
 Clara Bell Cruise. who was so t.r: ribly burned, about ten days ago, died Saturday and was buried at the family burial ground at Mt Zion Church, Q few miles south of town.

COTTON

New York, June 1s-The cotton market advanced today upon the issuance of the Giles report which makes the condition of the crop 6S. :. against S4 on the 18th of June, 1906. The comparative decline in con dItion is about l6 per cent and mathemati cally indicates d crop of about 11l0o. GOO bales The details of the report are ox- ceedngly bullish.
 It becomes more and more evident as the season advances that crop sufficient for the worlds needs at present prices is out of the question next season Spinners are practically under contract for a year ahead of prices that permit thelr ayirg twelve to fourteen cents for cotton
 Southern planters. if they are wise. will not accept less. and their disposition seems to be 10 refuse to sell at present fiSuros. Such selling of cotton as is now in progress emahates entirely from those who are selling 1t short. and 1t is believed that a local clique in New York Is now short at least l5O 000 bales of cotton.
 The recent decline in the market Is almost entirely the result of this selling Higher prices than ever, seem to m2. now definite iy in prospect and I strongly advise those who, for any reason may require cotton to
