 Accordingly.
ALL LOSSES RECOVERED
By A. M. CHAPMAN.

New York, June 3.-(Special Aft CT another slump at the opening of tn stock market today during which the prices of all the leading issues de- clined fractionally below the lowest notch reached on Friday, recovery was experienced and at the close of the session net gains had been recorded in most of the list. Erie was among the most notable exceptions. At the end of the day the quotation for the first period of that stock showed a Joss of l B points.
 London was again a heavy seller, due, it was said, to disappointment in Europe generally, over the result of the Union Pacific bond sale, and the fear in connection with the fate of the Erie railroad.
 Execution of the foreign selling or ders was accompanied by aggressive action by brokers acting for operators here committed to the bear side. That sent prices to a level at which stop loss orders, left by traders who had gone out of town for the weeks end were encountered. The downward movement however, was ended abrupt- ly. In the last half hour, the tone had become firm and. almost all the losses had been recovered.
 In the next two months the stock market will pay particular attention to the harvests. If the crops are any where near as bountiful as present in- dications lead experts to believe they will be. the prices of securities are bound to advance.
 It may be well for the investor or speculator to rest until business has more nearly caught up with the quo- tatlons of the active issues.
 Persons close to the Hartman inter- ests today declared that a plan for the reorganization of the Erie was being contemplated. If it gets through, they added it will be seen that the Union Pacific and the Erie have been int } much closer relations.
 All the talk about an impendin < fight between J. P. Morgan and liar riman is nonsense" they continued. "The interests of those two noted fnanciers have so shaped themselves that they find it better to work togeth- CT for the time being rather than en- gage in a stock market battle.'

 In the Future.
INFLUENCES ARE BULLISH

New York. June 13-The cotton market opened steady at an advance of to c points and during the early season sold to points net higher, on covering Tor over the week end, in the absence of oher- ings. The advance was probably encour- aged by report of break In the hed river levee 8 miles south of shreveport but otherwise new crop conditions were quiet and the market failed to attract any thing like aggressive bull support. Liver pool was closed for the day and week end figures about as expected.
 Because of the strength of the old crop remnant and the fear of basis complica- tions, exporters maintained a cautious attitude and refused to sell new crop commitments except at premiums which a short while ago would have been re- garded as monstrous.
 While the crop outlook in Oklahoma. Arkansas, North Louisiana and North Texas is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, precarous, the remainder of the belt con- tinues to progress in the right direction, and the local talent declines to become bullish on fall deliveries, though Ring traders generally admit the proba- bility of sustained strength on the en- tire list in the event the spot market suc- ceeds in holding its own. Yesterday Shreveport reported the increasing acute ness of an already serious situation. From all sections of the excess rain affected area in the northwest come reports of higher and higher water in the tributary streams The Red river levees below Shreveport protect some of the richest and most extensive cotton lands in the state, and the condition of some stretches is now known to be unsafe if not actually in danger of giving away. Continuous rains higher up will keep the levees full for some time to come.
 Trade conditions appear to be improv- ing, and with the approach of the new crop marketing season hesitancy on the part of exporters to sell forward commit ments would exert far-reaching influ- ence in behalf of the staple which has as yet not taken fully tangible shape.
 The market closed steady at prices net 12@A points net higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 6S1S bales, against 10,21S last week and 2251 last year. For the week COCO bales, against 64,223 last week and 25,5SS last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 12O0 bales. against 539 last year, and at Houston 1865 bales, against 295 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, June fS-(Special.)- )-Contin- ned showers in Oklahoma and Western Arkansas created demand from local interests, who were uneasy over the weather outlook in those sections. Else where the weather appeared to be Just what was needed for the development of the crop, which should be daily improV- ing under the usual favorable conditions of June. The small stock of cotton is slowly being reduced under the demand from spinners, which in turn absorbed all of the offerings of July from the long interest. Todays market is an il- lustration of the disposition to look for better prices on the spot demand and on tie buying from time to time by spinners for forward delivery next autumn.
