STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Organized Attempt to Advance Prices
 Encounters Obstacles.


 New York, July 2.-The organized att tempt to advance prices of stocks en- countered obstacles to-day, which had the effect of impairing, to some extent, the confidence of the operators em- parked on the attempt. Support of the market was not abandoned, however, and a good show of resistance to the reaction was made at times during the day. A prime factor in the doubts en- gendered over the feasibility of con ducting a prolonged advance was the new light on the foreign demand for i gold thrown by yesteray's course of the foreign exchanges. To-day there was, to be sure, some recovery in the sterling exchange rate at Paris and l some early decline in the rate here, both movements being away from the point of profit on gold shipments to Paris. The rate became strong here jagain later. That the resumption of the movement might follow relaxa tion in the local money market was a general conviction among internation- al bankers. London sold stocks in this market again, and Paris sentiment was ! somewhat disturbed.
 Money on call continued tight, but did not touch yesterdays high figures. Large amounts of the matured 1 per cent bonds were presented at the sub treasury for redemption and the rou- tine operation of the sub-treasury are also yielding a cash gain to the banks, The interior movement of currency also may be expected to be reasonably in favor of New York The threatened gold exports upon any decline in money rates serves as a balance to the advan- tage of this prospect.
 The Japanese question asserted itself to some extent in the market again, the effect being more pronounced on ] Americans in foreign markets than in New York. The government crop re- port on condition of cotton was suffi- ciently qualified by the action of the cotton market. The disappointed show ling of improvement since the preceding monthly report helped to depress some of the cotton carriers. United States Steel rase against the early depression in connection with rumors concerning the coming dividend such as usually circulate on the approach of a dividend |period.
 Some dstrust was aroused among the Speculative following by a resort to ad- vertising methods on behalf of the pur- chase of stocks on the part of a sup posed leader in the recent movement The recurrent depression of the tone of the market was in force at the time of the closing
 Bonds were irregular, Total sales par value $1,O2S,OOO

COAL IS HIGHER.
Fuel VIII Advance in Price Ten Cents
 Ton 2 Month.

The retail cost of coal in this city has advanced ten cents ton, from $6.50 to $6.6O, As it is, it is better to buy coal now than to wait, because coal Is go- ing to advance ten cents a ton month until the $7 mark k. reached, according to statements made by two local deal CTS. The next advance of ten cents will be in August.
 The last advance, according to one of the biggest local dealers, was be- cause of the increase In teamsters' wages. The next advance, the coal man said, will be to keep pace with the wholesale price, which has been raised

The governments report on cotton was extremely disappointing to those who had been predicting a or 5 per cent. gain in the condition estimate as a result of the favorable weather con- ditions. of the last month. Such a low condition estimate as 72 has never been published before at this dats; it is 8.8 paJs cefTr: below the July average of 1Syb, which was the lowest figure for this date, with the exception of to-day's reported in the last fifteen years.

Although the cotton crop news was disappointing to the market, the figures showed a gain of 1 1-2 per cent. for the month, as against depreciation of 4-10th of i per cent. in that period for the ten years average. Should this im- provement continue, with favorable weather conditions during July and Au- gust, the period in which the bulk of the crop is made, the result might be 8 crop of 11,5OO,OOO bales.
