COTTON MARKET
 IN WAITING MOOD
Opening Figures Show Losses
 Of Several Points
SMALL AMOUNT OF TRADING
Bulls Wait for Bears To Take the Lead and Latter Are In No Hurry To Start Anything-Free
 Selling Causes Decline.

Ney York, July 15.-Opening steady at a decline of 4 points the cotton market carly declined to points further, July excepted, which month advanced SApoints on one or two small attempts to cover by belated shorts. The general temper of the market was firm and after the weak start prices worked up on a moderate business to within a couple of points or so of the closing figures of the previous day. The volume of business at best was small 1t was a waiting market The bears waiting for the bulls to realize the significance of the great crop ndi- cations
 The bulls were waiting for the bears to realize not only the possibility of re- verse to the crop, following a July-Au- gust-september habit: but the probabil- ity of an early improvement in the de- mand from spinners who are yet like the speculative short holding off on the ground that prices must decline under the weight of the early receipts from record crop. Southern spot markets were unchanged. The alleged pressure of old spot cotton, of which there has been 50 much talk from the southwest, is no long CT mentioned as a factor
 The market closed steady at a net 1e- cline of to points, with the exception of November, in which position there were no transactions, while the official quota ton was given at g points under yes terday's closing. Sales, 10000.
 Late in the afternoon houses operating for leading short interests were active sellers of October contracts.
 Receipts at the ports today 3S95 bales, against 4126 last week and 1513 last year. For the week, SO,OOO, against SS,&7 last week and 1Os27 last year. Today's re- cepts at New Orleans, 1917, against S62 last year, and at Houston, 1895 against 6S7 last year.

GENERAL ADVANCE IN STOCK MARKET Speculative Situation Shows
 Improvement SELLING PRESSURE LIGHT United States Steel Stocks Lead In the Upward Movement and Aid In Boosting Prices for All.
 Lines of Stocks.

New York, July 15.-There were no striking new developments to account for the further advance in prices of F stocks today. The buying was based on sthe general improvement in the specu- 'N1ssiative situation. Commission houses re- ported some moderate and scattering ln- creases in orders of the miscellaneous sources, but the transactions remained largely In professional hands and par took of the manipulative character usual in that class of operations. The decisive fact stood out prominently, as was tue case yesterday, that incr,ased selling pressure was slight, the level of prices was lifted, thus leaving the way unob- structed for continuance of the ad- vance. There were occasional setbacks in the movement which seemed to be due much to pauses in the bullish opera tions as to any active selling pressure
 In United States Steel there was some manifest selling to realize, part of it com ing from foreign quarters This ab- sorbed with confidence, and that stock and the preferred stock proceeded to a new high price for the year. These stocks constituted an effective leadership for the whole market. number of in-
  the year. The railroad list shared in the days strength but offered fewer instances of high record prices. However, Union Pacific following for a dividend deduct ed) Southern Pacific, Atchison and Can- ns Han Pacific were at the years best The alo today. The Canadian Stock is ion, sea by particularly favorable reports solvent wheat crop prospects in it's territory That Bg the rapid development of some of 'ity of | Tsterritory Crop news generally 'e referr Favorable.
 The Mrhe general cheerful views of prospects, icy of .sh is obtaining in financial circles, ;ity at IS fostered by confident views expressed 2 rep. published interviews by several lead- ing financial authorities Probably some Apart of the underlying strength of rdil- 4foad stocks is due to the conviction that a process of readjustment of freight rates IS being worked out by the railroads of the country, which will result in an in- crease of the revenues derived from their traffic.
 While nothing like a general increase has been attempted thus far, it is be- lieved that the result will be sought in a pieceneal manner In spite of protests of shippers in various organizations it is d. evident that the increases of freight rates e are going on. and the effect on securities prices Is undenably favorable.

MONTREAL AND QUEBEC.

A vertable edition de luxe amongst railroad pamphlets has just been issued by the Grand Trunk to proclaim amongst tourists the glories of the cities of Mon treal and Quebec. The brochure is beau tifully printed and generally arranged in the artistic style of earlier days. when the ornamentation of volume was re- garded as an important incident to it's presentation of reading matter It is also very well written, and gives an interesting description of the two most interesting cities in Canada, with many illustrations from photographs that have not hitherto been published.

issue and the advance in the premium op the new bonds in the market had some helpful influence. The engagement of S9O0,0OO gold for export to Paris, being all the bar gold procurable, was prac- tcally ignored in the stock market. Re- payment of the quota of government de- posits called for by the Secretary of the Treasury was completed today, and prep arations were completed for 95 per cent payment of subscriptions to Union Pa clfic bonds tomorrow. With the effect of these transactions and the Delaware and Hudson bond sale sale barely perceptible in the money market, the gold export ex- cites no uneasiness. A break of points in Rock Island collateral fves was a dis turbing element in the late market, in which considerable reaction occurred.
 Bonds were irregular.
