THE STOCK MARKET


 New York. July 1s.--The movement to take profits in stocks which developed yes- terday was extended for a time in fodayss stock market This process of digestion of and unsettled the tone O degree. The character of the market was not essential ase in it's dimensions M s m @ and u ths sSiftanT of speculative atention to new points in the list The indstrial stocks and speciaitieA the greatest share of the days new buying orders while issues which have fiRureb hitherto in the strength of the market were new factors were introduced into the sit. uation. The publication by the bureau of statistics of the vountry's foreign trade report for June and for the completed fiscal year. offered a strfking exhibit al- though its main features have been fore Ss seen & from the preceding trend of events cial storm of last October that the re- sultant shrinkage in the export trade was imyports $ R so tRsa ,S. eaesss ne vaue of e9l DOTS from month to month was greater than In the corresponding period of the trade balance in our favor has reached tsss.457,1o3 which is s220.o27,4se greater than in the preceding year and establishes
 The shrinkage in the twelve months of $2f0.0Is.431 in imports points clearly to the prime cause of this showing and throws light on the comparative moderaotion of the reflux gold movement. which has follow ed the s10o, 100000 imports of that metal last fall Less than half of that amount show with equal clearness that Q shift has occurred in these tendencies.
 The s20. 403, 900 decrease in the value of ed by the sz2.ss4. .ooo decrease in exports. Not since October of 1907 has the falling off in exports exceeded that in imports. The loss in export vadluation for the month is traceabie to manufacturers, the decrease in agricultural products having been less than 5000 900 for the month. It may be accepted that these latter changes in- dicate readJustment to serve normal con- ditions fin the international trade. such as has been going on in the domestic trade sft- uaton.
 Additional testimony to this readjustment is received daily in the financial district, in the form of tubished ntervews from prominent capitalists. That for today, Amalgamated Copper Company. implied a rather striking exception in the case of that metal from the cheerful views he expressed of conditions elsewhere. The fact was seen In the early reactfonary tone In the copper group.
 Government disbursements have so far its from the banks that the net absorp- ton by the sub-treasury tAus far this week amouns to only si.2ss.o0o.
 The call money market was unruffied by the payment today of 95 per cent. of the subscriptions to the Union Pacific funding bonds, calling for some $23.0oO.00
 The time loan market. however. was strong in tone. Receipts of currency from the interior are on a smaller scale and the decline of the premium on New York exchange at Chicago marks the shift in the changes in stocks proved small for the most part with gains and losses mixed
 Bonds were steady. Total sales par value s4oSo.ooo. United States bonds were un- changed on call.

NEr YnRK COTTON.

New York July 16.--The cotton market opened barely steady at a decline of l@s points but after 8 few points of further re- cessfon there was firmer feeling which carried prices to within a point or 90 of yaaterdays close The initial weakness vas due to disappointing cables and an absence of any change for the worse In the crop prospects. At the same time there seemed to be a special pressure on the market in the way of unlimited selling by Q leading spot house. The cotton thus sold was quickly absorbed by large houses led by Wall Street interests heretofore actively trading on either side of the account. Later fhere was renewed selling pressure, wit~ the earlier buyers inclined to withdraw from the market The afternoon weak nesa was more directly due to speculative aeiling by the South which was looked upon aa foreshadowing a large and early movement of new cotton.
 The market was finally steady at nes 1nas of s@11 points. practically at the bot 90n of the session. Sales for the day wer~ aatlnnated at 125,o00 bales.
