EXCITING SLUMP
 IN JULY COTTON
Liquidation of the Corner Is
 Believed to Be Under Way
NEW CROP PRICES STEADY
Heavy Selling on the Decline Breaks July and August Cotton Nearly 75 Points, But New Crop
 Months Hold Up.

New York, June 23.-The cotton market was extremely nervous today and at times excited, with the old crop months sensationally weak under what was thought to be liquidation by New Orleans bulls. The close was steady at net de- cline of to 46 points. Sales were esti- mated at 250000.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to 13 points on old crop months, leading the break under liquidation while the new crop was relatively steady on GOV ering in spite of bearish weather and crop news
 During the early session fluctuations were very irregular but near months showed continued weakness and after midday July sold off to 9.53c and Au- gust to 9.54c or 73 to 76 points net lower. Brokers believed to be working for New Orleans people were heavy sellers on the decline and some of the people that were selling the old crop appeared to be taking in short hedges in the new crop months. this furnishing a partial explanation of the relative steadiness of the later posi- tions. At the decline, representing a loss of over $6 per bale, from the high level of last Friday, on July some of the large spot cotton interests who had been sellers early turned buyers and near months re- covered about 30 points of their loss. Other crop months at the close were 31 to 46 points lower, including September, while October and later positions were to 10 points net lower. It was believed that fear of a heavy early new crop move ment and a desire to avoid notices next Friday caused old crop liquidations, while support at the decline was supposed to reflect the failure of southern spot mar kets to fully meet the losses in contracts.
 Southern markets reported early were unchanged to 1sc lower.
 Receipts at the ports today, S326 bales, against LOTTO last week, and 5973 last year. For the week, 500O0 bales, against 4S,723 last week and 27,9S4>last year. To- days receipts at New Orleans, 772 bales against 676 last year and at Houston 1895 bales against 6S9 last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, June 23.-(Special)- )-Shortly after the opening quick realizing move ment appeared in July, which found that the buyers of last week had eliminated the ahort interest by the rapidity of the ad- vance so that now when sellers ap- reared pressing their holdings upon small market there were few buyers. The actual test was In the distant deliver ies which, while lower under the intlu- ence of the weakness in July and the good crop reports, showed an unexpected Undertone of strength This was due to a small investment demand which ab- sorbs the offerings when the basis of 3 cents is reached, due doubtless to the knowledge that owing to small supplies a large crop is required the coming sea son. The feeling is naturally pessimistlc on the weakness in the near positions

SUMMER DULLNESS
 IN STOCK MARKET Very Little Change Occurs In
 Prices Either Way NO HOPE FOR LIVE MARKET Outcome of Crops Is Problem That Has Unsettling Influence Upon Prices.
 Slump In Rock Island Is
 Checked During Day. :
NO HOPE FOR LIVE MARKE I

New York, June 23.-So far as they were mirrored in the auxiliary markets, events had no important bearing on values and prices moved sluggishly and hesitatingly today under the influence of professional operations. The market was one of typi- cal summer dullness and the expectation of this kind of affairs was shown in the readiness with which motion was adopt ed to close the stock exchange on Fri day, July B. In order to pro1ong the In- dependence Day holiday from Thursday evening until the first Monday. Many of the most influential men of financial af- fairs are already absent on prolonged va cations, and traders and commission houses apparently recognize the futility of hopes of an active market.
 The mid-season between conventions of the great political parties is one particu- larly discouraging to any definite com- mitments in pursuance of speculative views. The trend of the discussion in the financial district shows that possi bilities as result of the progress of the political campaign are beginning to be canvassed. The likelihood that ques- tions of wage adjustments will be pre- cipitated into the situation is regarded as threatening serious complications of the whole problem.
 The outcome of the crops also is in cluded in the doubtful factors which must remain a source of possible unsettlement of the speculation up to the period of the actual harvest. The grain markets suf- nciently indicate the vacilations of opin- ion on this all-important topic. Sentiment there today varied between the influence of improved weather conditions for the winter wheat harvest and the shift of some upfsvorable weather symptoms to the spri,ns wheat belt.
 The acute pressure against the Rock Island securities which weakened the market yesterday. subsided today and this was the most important element in the recovery which set in. This was inter- rupted by occasional set-backs and by weakness in special stocks. Chesapeake and Ohio felt the effect of speculative liquidation of holdings acquired under the influence of rumors of an option on con- trolling amounts of the stock in interest of a combination with another system. The weakness in Anaconda and Amalga- mated Copper was accompanied by re-

Nev Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, June 23.-Cotton: Spots were easy with prices 3-16c down on all grades. Middling, II 11-16e; sales were 375 bales on the spot and 100 to arrive
 Futures opened steady, to points be- low the close yesterday. The cables from Liverpool were not reassuring, futures in the English market being AZ to points lower, while spots were also down. Re- ports of good weather, together with fav- orable accounts of progress with the new crop and forecasts of a still further con- tinuance of fair weather throughout the belt, brought about a marked tendency on the part of the market to seek lower levels. At the close, which was steady the active months were 12 to 22 points below the close yesterday.

Dry Goods.

New York, June 29.-The dry goods mar ket held fairly firm today, although the drop in cotton and the quiet de- pland had some effect in dulling the edge of prices on heavy cotton goods.
 Sales of about 5000 bales of light weight drills and sheetings have been made tc China in the past week. The cotton yarn market holds firm under the influence of a slowly improving general demand.
