St0ck-Rest of List
Apathetic.

NEW YORK. July 15.-Trading was
In small volume at the opening today,
as is usual Of late, and the changes
were mostly insignificant. The tone in
general was steady. but there were a
few heavy spots, Western Maryland
losing a, point, Anaconda q and Denver

other hand St. Louis & San Francisco

Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific and L.
$. Steel X, the last mentioned estab-
fishing a new record price at 701s.
IL o'elock-Operations on the long
side of the market became more con-
fident Is q result of the heavy buying
Of United States Steel. which touched
I0ss. Whenever there was a u in
the advance in United States Steel. the
rest of the list became stagnant and
waited for United States Steel to start
up again before general buying vas
resumed. st. Louis and San Francisco

Noon-Railroad stocks began to fig
ure more prominently in the dealings,
but the chief interest continued to GEN.
tralize in the movement of U. S. Steel
that reached 1873. a rise Of IA. with
large blocks of stock changing hands
at all stages Of the rise. Bullish senti-
ment was encouraged by the steady alb
sorption of Union Pacific common and
preferred and the Hill stocks. Union
Pacific preferred showed unusual ac-
tivities and rose 29s to 1861. Other
gains amounted to Ia In Northern Pa
cifc, Central Leather. IA in Great
Northern preferred and l in Union Pa
cific. Reading, L. S. Steel preferred
and Peoples Gas. Bonds were steady.
l o'clock-The demand for stock be-
came more diversified, the inquiry taxi
ing a great number of specialties. The
bueyancy shown by L.. S. Steel, which
swept all opposition and placed it at
71B or III above yesterdays final
price, was responsible for the increas-
ing strength of the metal group. Rail-
road stocks were somewhat quister at
midday.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 15.-The cotton mar
ket opened easy at a decline of GAIT
points. and during the early trading sold
IA to II points net lower under continued
liquidation and bear pressure which was
encouraged by easier late cables from
Liverpool, reports of improved crop con-
ditions In the eastern belt and talk of
lower temperatures in Texas. There was
a big demand around 1219c. for the win
ter months, on which the market steadied
and during the middle of the morning
ruled 4 or 3 points up from the lowest.
Trading was active and quite general.
The market continued very nervous and
unsettled during the late forenoon. The
Western belt forecast for partly cloudy
weather with showers in Northwest
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. did not
hold ont much promise of relief from
drouth and the detailed reports Shove
temperatures ranging from 100 to 106 at
twenty-one stations in Texas, but reports
from Eastern belt were favorable, and
the S~outhwestern prospects we're Just nm
certain enough to check any general buy
ing movement. The market met good sup
port on soft spots. but offerings were
very heavy at times, and at one time
during the late forenoon nrices were II
to IS points net lower. A moderate rally
followed covering toward midday and at
noon the market was 3 or 4 points up from
the lowest.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. July ia fresh gain of 2
was made by wheat for July delivery
when that option sord today at 12s. The
market, however, lacked the bullish en-
thusiasm of the previous session and
distant deliveries, instead of responding
TO the new advance in the July option,
displayed considerable weakness. Open
ing quotations were Ad$s lower, to 2i4d
2ss higher, July being at l271a to 129. Cash
interests were apparently the leading
buyers of the current month. but offer
ings were small. After touching 1875
shortly. after the opening the July deliv-
cry held fairly steady for a time around
12S. Weather conditions in this country
were more favorable for harvesting and
t%hreshing. the weather map showing only
a few scattered showers throughout the
winter wheat belt during the last twenty
four hours. The official forecast for to-
morrow was for generally clear weather.
Corn was weak on general selling. Prices
at the opening were a shade higher to u
lower. July being at IFS to 72fs. Later
July sold off to 715s.
Trade in the oats market was largely
in the September and December sdeliv-
cries. Trade in July was at II standstill
for n time. The opening, which was un-
changed. was 1873.
Provisions were strong owing to a 1oc
advance in live hogs. Prices at the open
ing were 2KI5 to 17la higher.

INSURANCE MEN FOR
UNIFORM STATE LAWS.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, July Is
The keynote of the twenty-second con-
vention of the International Assoeia-
ton Of Accident Underwater was
sounded at yesterdays session by John
y. Hartigan, commissioner of insur-
ance of Minnesota, in his paper on
STANDARD Provisions for Health and
Accident Policies" carrying the idea of
creating a condition which would re-
suit in the passage by the various
States of uniform laws for the regu-
lation of accident and health insur-
ance. . Practically all the delegates
were IN accord with Mr.. Hartigan's
ideas. The delegates deny that there
is any idea of consolidation of insur-
ance companies or. n movement to-
ward the formation of what might be
termed IN insurance trust.

STOCKHOLDERS CLAIM
GLASS COMPANY FRAUD.
Seek Injunction to Stop Com
mon Stocks Dividends.

TRENTON, July 15.-William L. Mel
Ion, of Pittsburg, and other preferred
stockholders of the Mississippi Wire
Glass Company, today filed in court
here a bill In chancery to have the
company ~enjoined from any further
payment of dividends on common stock.
The bill also asks that the directors be
ordered to make discovery as to the
true value of the company's assets.
1t is charged that the assets of the
company have been inflated in-'order
to make possible the payment of in
creased dividends to the holders of
common stock. The bill also charges
that since January /, 1906. the company
has issued 5000. 900 of common stock,
practically without consideration, and
that since 1903 the dividends paid on
the common stock has never been less
than 13 per cent.

WALL STREET NOTES.

Nothing on the market yesterday x
cited particular attention among trad
ers or brokers. and topics of converse
ton were developed from "reminiscences
rather thar from actual present condi-
tions. 1t Is accepted as a necessary
condition. either OF the weather or of
the absence of some or the big traders,
that the market should drift along,
temporarily, at least. Ii has beer
known, however. that these drifting
markets can suddenly develop a squirt
of activity which may carry prices in
one direction or another.

Drought Keeps Farmers
from Centre Market
Nothing Left to Sell, Says Old
Producer-Hopes for Rain
to Give Relief.

That the long continued drought is
having q serious effect on crops IS
easily apparent when one pays a visit
to the Centre Market. Where hereto
fore the square just outside of the
building has been crowded to its ut
most capacity with farmers wagons
today there were but a half dozen, and
if there is no immediate relief even
these will disappear.
A STAR reporter interviewed one OF
the leading farmers whose wagons have
been a feature of the market for a
quarter of a century. He was in any
thing bat a gentle mood.
rs the drought having any serious
effect?" he asked.
well l should certainly say it is.
Only yesterday l laid off nearly all of
my help and will very likely let the
Others go next week. Everything is
dying, and we amt plant any new
crops because the ground is not in a
condition to induce life. Corn, pota-
toes, fruit and garden truck is being
burned " by h hot sun in the day
time. and at night there is little re-
lief because of the heat thrown up
from the baked soil.
Prices In general are not high be-
cause we can't demand them for the
quality of produce we have to offer.
What is good brings almost prohibitfve
prices FOR any but the rich. III pre-
thai in the course of a week, in
case there is. no rain. there won't be
a wagon in this market. But l hope
there'l be rain"

one direction or another.
Some of the wire houses say that
there is more interest in the market
among out-of-town traders than among
the local dabblers in stocks.
1t might be assumed hat as the
meeting of the directors of the Steel
Corporation approaches there will be
further talk of an increase in the divi-
dend on Steel common. In view of the
price of the stock, there is an element
of logic in the talk that possibly 4 per
cent. will be declared.
Uptown Sentiment-Although there
was disappointment on the part of
small spectators and representatives
of some of the commission houses over
the continued dullness at the stock ex-
change those who still take a thor
oughly optimistic view of the position
of the market and of the outlook dur
ing nearby months said that undoubt-
eddy the next upward movement would
be led by Steel common. They assert
ed that during the last three or fuor
weeks this stock has been steadily alb
scrbed by large interests, and that most
of the selling has been by scattered
holders. At the October meeting of
the board these interests claimed that
at least the present prices for the stock
would be maintained, and they were
disposed to believe that further new
high records for 1t would be made.
Alvin w. Krech, chairman Of the
bondholders' committee which has been
engaged in formulating a plan for the
