GOOD ADVANCE IN PRICES

New York, July 23.-There was manifest growth of general partielpa- tion in the transactions in stocks TO- day, commission houses reporting in- creased orders from a scattered outside clientage The market broadened per ceptibly and embraced an increasing number of securities not often traded in. The long period of dormaney or some of these while an upward move ment has been going on in the general market makes them susceptible to spasmodic readjustment to the new or der, of values which offers startling contrasts in the prices made with this privilege when dealings last occurred in them. Such changes were in evil dence today in many instances. At the same time active profit taking was go- ing on in the favorite trading stocks and the price movement had very irregular appearance in consequence This was one symptom of the lessened artifciality of the market.
 Movements lacked the machine-like precision characteristic of the earlier stages of a speculative campaign Whsn operations are almost wholly in the hands of few leaders acting in con cert and depending on devices "t manipulation to achieve their effects Such growth of outside demand as IS now being seen in the stock market IS the object sought by the earlier pro- fessional operations, and when it is se- cured there is usually no time lost Tn taking advantage of it to transfer 10 speculative holdings and secure the profit accrued. This profit taking, while perfectly evident from the action or the market today, was conducted Win caution, and the control of the moVe- ment was not abandoned at any time The professional element amongst the room traders, however, was disposed to read in this probability of turn l'' the movement and they were keenly alert to detect signs that the top had been reached. Experimental short sales were made from time to time in the effort to feel for the top.
 Concentrated selling of varlo"' stocks. a large part of the selling con- ing from a single house, kept alive

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, July 2S.-Cotton spots were quiet and easy with prices 1sc down; mid ding. 105sc. Sales were 270 bales on the spot and none to arrive.
 Futures opened steady, unchanged to 1 point above the close yesterday, which was about as due on the cables. The fea- lure of todays future market was the slump in the July position, which opened at 10 IS and closed at 10.4O, 3S points down. The slump was attributed to the desire of small bulls to get out of the way of ac- tual cotton. News from the spot market was not encouraging to holders of Jury. who did not care to accept actual cotton for their contracts. The decline on the ,art of the July option had it's effect on the other options, in which there was fairly steady decline throughout the day. At the close the October December and January options were 10 points below the close yesterday

suspicion that the important financial late rise in stocks were taking their profits. There was a supposition that a large accumulation of holdings had been effected in anticipation of de- cision reversing the S29,000,00 fine in'- posed on the Standard Oil company, and it was assumed that the handing down of that decision yesterday would prompt some selling out of these ac- cumulations. That decision continues the subject of active discussion in the financial district with general agree ment on it's probable effect in reviying demand for corporation securities. AL though there was some difference of opinion over the possible political ef feet of the upsetting of the govern ments case against the Standard Oil company and the reflected consequences to be appreh ended in financial affairs.
 No assistance was received from abroad in sustaining prices of stocks, the hardening of discounts in London the declining condition of the Bank of England and the Macedonian trouble combining to keep foreign markets un- settled and depressed. The price Of copper was again advanced both in New York and in London, and news of this country's crops continued favor able, such strength as was shown in the grain markets being attributed to foreign demand. There was some in crease of selling though late in the day which reduced the previous ad- vance considerably and made the clos ing tone irregular.
 Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value, $6,090, 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call

Hubberd Bros. 6 Go. Letter.

New York, July 2S.-(Special) l)-Trading today was in marked contrast to the re- cent activity. The market has been list less-almost dull-with a decline as the last of support brought greater courage to sellers The trade is essentially bear ish. and will not enter upon a bull ep sode or campaign because of paper argu- ments, no matter how moody The crop is doing well and business revival is too slow. in general opinion, to induce much further import at present. Prices may advance but if so 1t will be for reasons not now apparent to the trade itself, and not from spacious special pleading. At the close large bidding for August and october was the feature, but during the day the long interest was not materially increased
