THE STOCK MARKET

New York. July 2o.-Fair weather was responsible for a large list of absentees from the stock exchange today and also for prices. Only a few stocks made movements ment in the general list was in sympathy wards with some vigor as an effect of the year encing June 30. which was reported yesterday.
 The stocks of the telegraph companies sold up briskiy in consequence of the set clement of the strike at San Francisco. It's subsidiary stock and the Hill stocks also were unresponsive. The cheerful tenor of the weekly reviews of the mercantile agencies was a favorable influence on the market But the loan item was also ex- banded only nominally and the gain in surplus reserves was as large therefore as was expected. United States deposits stand at S27.277.900. which is only Sl, 800 less than last week and does not reflect the full repayment under the call of July 10.
 The marked easier tone of both call ana time money with the progress of the week left no room for solicitude over the present condition of the banks Best prices of the day were made after the publication of the bank statement.
 Discounts in London were easier today and copper securities there continued to inn prove. Profit taking made the closing tone irregular and left a mixture of small net losses in prices.
 Total sales of bonds par value s254.ooo.

Says Japs Will Secure Peace By Deci
 mating Koreans.

New York. July 21.L"Knowing as l do the Korean temperament and the policy Japan has pursued in the penin- sula I am able to predict that Japan will secure peace there only by the decimation of the people"
 This is the opinion of MT. Homber B. Hubert for several years intimate ly associated with the Korean court and a confidential adviser to the de- posed emperor of Korea. MT. Hubert who has just returned to America said ::
 Tt is hard to arouse the Koreans to the fighting point. They are almost infinitely patient, but drive them to desperation and they will turn on their tormentors as they did in 1892 and then nothing but extermination will give Ja- pan peace there. But to exterminate 13.o0o,00O people or even to beat them into Quiesence will be no easy task. And who could blame the Koreans if they should turn upon those who are trampling them to the ground?
 An American officer one told me that no one would care to help the koIeans until they showed a disposition to help themselves Many believe the Koreans have not enough virility to turn upon the Japanese. but those who know best think differently. The Koreans are fast approaching the turning point and despair will arm them to resistance even though it be suicidal. The Ko- rean people thoroughly aroused could carry on a guerilla warfare that would bankrupt the Japanese nation. The many investments of the Japanese there would fall to a shortage of their present value. Thousands of better Japanese themselves witnessing the desperate resistance of the Koreans, proof that they had been wronged, would demand a change of policy. The thing that Japan fears in Korea is that the people will get together but at the same time she is doing ner best to force them together.

MARKET FOR COTTON


 New York. July 20.-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of three points July, which was influenced by covering and the absence of offerings. while later months were one to four points lower owing to disappointing cables and good weather over the belt.
