STOCK MARKET
 DULL AND LOWER Reaction Follows the Upturn of
 Previous Day RAILROAD STOCKS WEAKER General Outlook for Railroads lndi- cates Decrease In Earnings, and Passing of Dividends Adds
 To the Bearsh Tone. 
RAILROAD STOCKS WEAKER

New York, June 1.-The extremely mar row dimensions of the stock market was still it's most striking feature today. Un- der the circumstances of the dullness ana apathy of the dealings, the desultory price movements are not very signlfcant' The upward movement of yesterday eVi- dently lacked motive power for any long continuance and the reaction came py midday today. The principal active fac- tor in deciding the turn was the decision of the directors of the Cleveland, Cih- cnnati, Chicago and St. Louis and Lake Erie and Western to pass dividends on the common stock of the first com pany and on the preferred stock Of inc second.
 While these roads are in the first rank of importance the fact of the Vanderbilt control of them lends some special sent- mental influence to the financial policy pursued by their directors. The passing of these dividends followed a reduction decided on in January from the rate which had been paid for half a dozen years preceding. The pending reduction was taken to measure the extent or tne impairment of power to return proht which was the first effect of the financial crisis, and this leaves ground for the inference that estimates made at that time of the damage to profits of rail roads have been necessarily revised in the light of later developments. This infer ence accords too well with the general tenor of reports of railroad earnings since the first of the year to make the passing of these dividends other than portentous in the eyes of security-holders. Amongst the industrials American Locomotive suffered from apprehension of similar policy in contemplation. Increased atten- tion was paid today to reports of de- terioration of the winter wheat crop from too much moisture, and the strength of that grains price reinforced the influence of the reports. A private experts report on the cotton crop at the same time gav,, g. very favorable forecast for that crop. Flood damage to southwestern railroad property was considered.
 Engagements of gold for export to- morrow proved unexpectedly large, reach ing $S,25O,000. No fears are entertained of the effect on our money market of this outgo, interest rates continuing to recede. The motives for this continued withdrawal of gold in view of the ap- parent repletion of foreign money centers is beginning to arouse somewhat myst'- fled conjectures in international banking circles. The tone of the argument of the governments counsel in the case against

STRENGTH SHOWN IN COTTON PRICES July Option Jumps Up on Bull
 Activity NEW CROP PRICES LOWER Private Crop Report Causes Weakness In Later Months, But Corner In July Seems We'll Held Up
 By the Bulls.
NEW CROP PRICES LOWER

New York, June 1.-The cotton mar ket was considerably more active today and at times showed a good deal of ex- citement, the feature being the strength of July contracts, which had a big ad- vance during the forenoon and ruled relatively firm on the subsequent re- action. The market closed steady on near positions but easy on late months, net 19 points higher to 13 points lower. Sales for the day were estimated at 275,OOO bales.
 The market opened steady at a decline of to points and shortly after the opening sold to 2 points net lower un- der liquidation by yesterdays buyers, who were disappointed by the absence of bullish transactions in Liverpool and who were also influenced by d favorable weather map. Around 10.33 for July, however, supporting orders reached the market This started renewed rumors Of strong bull control of the July situation but there was some talk that New Or leans leaders were to come here to take charge of the July deal and shorts be- came very uneasy.
 July advanced to 10. 75c before midday, or 33 points above the closing price of last night, while the new crop sold only 1 to points net higher, owing to con tinued good weather, and the upward movement was checked during the early afternoon by bearish private crop re- port, indicating an improvement of 2 per cent in the average condition of the crop since the end of May. There was less demand from July shorts later and the market eased off, the decline being led by the new crop months. Octoper and later positions closed at a net de- cline of 10 to 13 points. July closed at 1O.61c or 19 points net higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 9596 bales, against F, ,561 last week and 7030 last year. For the week, 60000 bales, against 64,22S last week and 25,5SS last year Todays receipts at New Orleans, 45SS bales, against 25S6 last year, and at Houston, 96S, against 544 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York June 17.-fSpecial.) IA sharp covering demand appeared in the near positions. especially July. which advanced some 40 points from the low point of the day. Thls advance did not extend to the new crop. which was affected by the bet ter weather conditions throughout the south and closing about 10 points lower. The continued decrease In the New York stock is in itself quite sufficient to bring about a closing of any short interest which may exist in July. Naturally, when this is in process the only sellers are those who, being long, are willing to ae- cept current prices. Distant deliveries feel the absence of the usual buying for for ward delivery by spinners, who inf1u- enced by the better crop reports, are looking for a lower basis on which to hedge their requirements.

BALL GAME WITH CLIFTON WAS
JOKE

From Mondays Daily Post.
Sundays so-called bali game between
GlenwooG and the All Stars of Western
Colorado turned out to be very far
cical exhibition, the final score OF
which was IL to 0 in favor of Glen
wood.
The visitors were practically the
Clifton team in toto and they were
no match wla.cver for the locals who
simply fooled with them. Willett lob
bed the balls over the plate as slowly
as he could but at that four hits was
the best the visitors could do, while
the Clifton twirlers was touched up for
hits whenever the boys felt like run
ming. The locals could have made more
had they tried very hard.
Wednesday night the team leaves FOX
Denver where on Saturday, Sunday and
Monday they play the Luxus team at
Broadway park. With Sandusky, Bal
linger and Willett to do the box work
the locals hope at least to even up the
score with Reid 5 bunch which will
make Glenwood one of the contenders
for the state championship.
