COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS FIRMNESS Prices Are Quiet During the
 Days Trading
CROP PROSPECTS NOT GOOD
Conditions Surrounding the Growing Crop Are Complex, But BuIlish Tendencies Are We'll Devel-
 oped and Close Higher

New York June 6.-(Special.) )-The cotton market opened steady at an ad- vance of 1 to points on covering of some of yesterdays selling, who found the week end figures less bearish than they had expected In the absence of bull support the market ruled very quiet during the middle of the morning
 Beyond the shadow of doubt ex- cessive and almost continuous rainfall over large areas in Oklahoma, Arkan- sas, North Texas and Louisiana has done serious damage to the favorable crop prospects of those sections which brief while ago induced many an operator to sell fall deliveries short" Equally certain is the development of distinct drift toward improvement in the manufactured goods trade. This does not necessarily mean that the clothmakers are again enjoying really profitable trade conditions, but it does mean that goods not salable few weeks ago are salable now, and that the loss in parity between present values or spot cotton and of the man ufactured product is not great enough to hold the spindles idle. Until the spinners' basis shall have so far inn proved as to produce a profit for the manufacturer, apparent trade betterment from the recent very depressed condi tion of affairs can be regarded as rela- tive only and of but little importance other than as part of a logical pro- gramme of transition from bad to good But once substantial profits shall begin to show the general situation will promptly undergo radical readjustment, and against such a time speculative calculations had best be made With distinct care and consideration. Con- ditions are complex, environment is pe- culiar and many a once useful land mark has been swept away during very recent years. New forces have grown up, and the old-time center of cotton market gravity has been shifted to entirely new ground.
 The market closed steady with prices net to 10 points higher

No Substitute for Honesty.

Orison Swett Warden in Success Maga-
 zine.
 No substitute has ever yet been dis covered for honesty. Mutitudes of people have gone to the wall trying to find one. Our prisons are full of people who have attempted to substitute something else for it.
 No man can really believe in himself when he is occupying a false position and wearing a mask when the little mon- itor within him is constantly saying. You know you are a fraud; you are not the man you pretend to be- The conscious ness of not being genuine, not being what others think him to be, robs a man of power, honeycombs the character and re- stroys self-respect and self-confdence.
 When Lincoln was asked to take the wrong side of a case he said: "1 could not do it. All the time while talking to that jury I should be thinking, Lincoln, you're a liar and l believe l should for get myself and say 1t out loud"
 Character as capital is very much un- derestinated by great number of young men They seem to put more emphasis upon smartness, shrewdness, long-headed- ress, cunning, influence, pull, than upon downright honesty and integrity of char acter

BOOST FOR UNION PACIFIC
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL,

New York, June 6.-(Special )-Reassur- ances from President Roosevelt that he would not be a candidate resulted in a strong but dull stock market in Wall btreet today. Gains of from 1 to 8 points were recorded throughout the entire list with Union Pacific, Steel common and Reading leaders Although the operat- ing was irregular the market was strong up to the close with the last figures the best of the session. The feature of the trading was the heavy transactions in United States Steel common, based on talk by interests closely identified with the management of the trust that busi- ness had increased enormously since the reduction in prices. Enormously meaps a great deal, but that is the term applied by those in a position to know. Missouri Pacific was prominent for its weakness, the loss. The heaviness in this stock was attributed to the fact that the di- ieetors passed the dividend. Such is the sad ending of an unsuccessful attempt to manipulate the Gould shares to high prices.
 A rumor was current today that fol- lowing the sale of the new Union Pacihc bonds to the public there would be an important announcement forthcoming that would be of such a favorable character as to put Union Pacific to 200. First the manipulators marked Union Pacific for 15O then 16O and now POO Conservative bankers took no interest in this rumor and said they looked for a decline 1t the end of this week, based on the theory that the advance has been too rapid
 Persons in a position to know state that Canadian Pacific was strong because of bidding by shorts for blocks of 5000 and 10 GOO shares, with no stock forthcoming. They forecast an upward movement in this issue this week.

as a holiday. After the opening the mar lxet was very quiet. with practically all interest centered in the late months, es- pecially October, in which most of lle half days trading was done. The only impetus given to the market was the re- port of damage to the new crops tfoush breaks in the levees and prospects or further damage. As the result of the re- ceipt of this news an advance in prices was scored, but the outlook for favorable weather discouraged anything like a heavy advance. At the close, which was steady, the active months were to IA points above the close yesterday.
