CHARTER DAY OF JUDEA CHAP

CHARTER DAY OF JuDEA CHAP
 TER, D, A. R.
 .iuAea Chapter, D. A. R., celebrated it's Charter Day on Tuesday of last week in the Washington Club house, Mrs $. Y. Seeley, the regent, presided. A large number of guests were pres ent as we'll as full attendance Of the chapter. The guest of honor, as well as the speaker of the occasion was Mrs John Buell. of Litchfield, the State Regent. Her taln on the past work and history of the Connecticut Daughters was very instructive and extremely interesting. This work was largely In the line of memorials to the dead and consisted of marking the Revolutionary soldiers graves the restoration of ancient monu- ments, the repairing of historical spots and places, The present work of the organization deals with the problem of the emigrants, how to educate them to become good Ameri- can citizens. This question of pa- triotic education is taking the time and attention of the majority of the chapters throughout the state, and already much has been accomplished along this line. The field iswide and the laborers are few, but earnest eff forts and consecration to the cause will yield an abundant harvest as the years roll by. The education of the mountain whites" in Kentucky has been steadily going on for a number of years. The Judea chapter has at present a financial interest in this work. Abraham Lincoln's ancestors were of this class of people and as Mrs Buell. said: "Who knows but an other great leader may in time rise from such a people to meet some great crisis in our nations history" It is to help such people that the D. A. R. are now using their energies. At the close of the meeting several who were unfamiliar with the work of the D. A. R. expressed their aston ishment at its magnitude. An invi- tation to visit the historical room of the Memorial library was accepted by nearly all present, who enjoyed heartily the inspection of the arti- cles, especially the Philippine and Indian exhibits loaned by. Mrs Orville Platt.

COTTON MARKET
IS STILL STRONG
Close Is Steady At An Advance
of 10 to 20 Points
ENGLISH MARKET IS FIRM
Realizing Is Heavy in the Early SEES
sion, But Sales Are Absorbed
and the Close Shove
Good Advance.

New York July 6.-While realizing
was heavy in the cotton market today
offerings were well absorbed and the
highest prices of the day and season
were recorded in the late trading with
the close very steady at a net adj
vance Of 16 to % points. The market
opened firm at an advance OF to 8
points in response to the firm showing
of the English market and showed
net gain of about IL to IL points on
buying orders which had accumulated
over the holidays on the bullish gov
eminent report of Friday. Realizing
were very heavy at this advance and
reactionary sentiment was promoted by
the better weather in the south, private
cables predicting that English spinners
would remain out of the market for
spot cotton owing to the advance and
short time in Lancashire, and fear that
at the new price hedges against pros
pective crops might become more of
factor. But offerings were very we'll
absorbed on a scale down and after
points the market firmed up on talk
of hot winds in Texas, covering by
early sellers for turn and rebuying
by old bulls who had taken profits be-
fore the close last week. There were
also reports that continental spinners
were buying contracts here through
some of the big foreign houses and
the market in the late trading advanced
to l2.33c for October and 12.40c for De-
wi
net gain of 1S to 2s points. The close
was only little off from the top under
realizing. Southern spot markets Of

| The reports from trade sources of the
good rate of recuperation In the indus
try were equally without benefit to the
stock
Besides the favorable steel trade re-
ports much attention was given in the
financial district to the crop news. The
government crop report on condition of
crops to be published on Thursday Is
looked forward to as an important fac
tor In the speculative movement. Re-
ports from Illinois, Missouri and Ohio,
which appeared today, were accepted as
foreshadowing highly favorable report
on Thursday by the bureau report on the
condition of wheat and corn. The pros
poets of the corn crop indicated both by
these reports and by private estimates
were called brilliant In the discussion cur
rent in the stock market. A substantial
improvement to be shown in winter wheat
during June is accepted as a foregone
| conclusion. In view of the shortages
in that cereal bountiful crop of wheat
in this country will be counted a factor
of first Importance in the whole financial
and industrial outlook.
The bank statement published on Satur-
day gave evidence of the heavy strain of
the July settlement, but the easy tone of
today's market took away influence from
the showing. The likelihood of further
exports of gold this week both to Ar
gentina and Paris lacked influence on
stocks for the same reason. The. rapid
progress making with the tariff bill in its
late stages, especially the readiness with
which the corporation earnings tax and
the income tax amendment to the con-
stitutiop were accepted in the Senate, was
cited as important to capitalistic interests
in Wall street. The closing tone of the
market was uncertain.
Bonds were steady. Total sales, par
value, 81, 100000 United States rs and IS
declined Ia per cent on call.

Revival After Holidays Fails 10
Attain Volume
BUYING IS NOT ACTIVE
After the First Squirt of Buying the
Market Turns Downward and
Before the Close Strength
ems a Little.

New York, July 6.-There were hopes In
dulged by the professional element In the
speculation that today was to witness
a revival of active interest in the stock
market. That hope was dissipated as
the meager total of the days transact
lions sufficiently shows. Even that slen-
der aggregate was done to a proportion
of almost one-half of the first hour. The
expectation of an awakened interest In
stocks was based on the seeming eager"
Eess of the market to break through the
restraints imposed upon it last week by
the seasonable factor of dullness. Not
withstanding the progress in last week
important money settlements and the re-
straint of the short week and the pro-
longed holiday interval, prices had been
we'll maintained and speculative opinion
seemed to have gained In confidence.
Foreign markets had quoted American
stocks higher, while the New York stock
exchange was closed. The New York
traders, in response to these signs of i'm
provement took stocks at the opening
with confidence and sought to extend~the
advance by bidding up prices. The first
half hour demonstrated that there was
an amount of stock pressing for sale on
the advances which left the traders In
an uncomfortable position with their TAX
ings.
The accumulation of buying orders over
the week end with it's three days closed
interval proved to be very scanty ana
gave no assistance to the attempt to ad-
vance prices. There was nothing to show
that important speculative interests were
coming into the market
The movement was practically. aban-
doned in face of these disoouraging cir
cumstances. The opening advance gave
Mace to a reaction, but after the ad-
yances had been wiped out the downward
movement lost force. Prices hardened
again to best figures in the later dullness.
News developments mostly We're favor
able to values and hating action OF the
market proved something of puzzle.
A large sentimental influence was exer-
cised by the heavy tone of United states
Steel. The selling of that stock was
based on reiteration of the previous re-
ports from Paris that the plan to intro
duce it on the Paris bourse had been
rejected by the authorities. This report
met with the contradiction from the Paris
office of the bankers concerned, which
has accompanied each repetition or the
report of the failure of the plan. Inc
denials, however, did not revive the tone
of United States Steel in the market.

Wheat Prices Are Demoralized
During the Day
CROP IS MUCH IMPROVE D
Fine Prospects for Corn Crop Cause
a Decline Which Continues to the
CIose-Oats Close Weak
and Provisions Steady.

Chicago, July 6,-While prices broke
sharply on the board of trade today as a
result of general selling prompted by
greatly increased receipts of new wheat
at southwestern grain centers and by
glowing reports regarding the conditions
of the new crop, at the close prices were
17sc to &c below the final quotations of
last Friday. Corn and oats also closed
extremely weak but provisions were
steady.
The wheat market was somewhat de-
moralized today after the first half hour
and prices declined from 19sc to 29sc from
the high point of the session. The slump
was due to liberal arrivals of new wheat
at st. Louis and Kansas City and con-
sequent falling away of cash prices at
these points Various state reports in
dicated a material improvement in the
condition of the fall crop and there was
large increase in the acreage sown in
the northwest. In addition to this Eu-
ropean markets generally were weak ow-
ing to liberal worlds shipments and to
prospects of a continued free movement
from Russia. The first car of new wheat
arrived here today from Indiana and was
offered for sale at the sample house as
mo grade wheat. Kansas City and
st. Louis each reported arrivals of 80 car
loads with 5000 sacks additional by water
at the latter point. AS a result of this
heavy movement cash prices at ST. Louis
were said to be off zoe compared with
Fridays quotations.
Wet weather in sections of the winter
wheat belt during the last 4S hours in
spired some buying early in the day but
the effect of any possible delay to har-
vesting was soon offset by the cash situa-
ton. The market closed weak at almost
the bottom.
Splendid prospects for the new crop of
corn as indicated in numerous reports
from all sections of the corn belt caused
break of 1ssc to &c in the price of that
grain. The July delivery was especially
weak owing to a general raid by local
bears and on selling by the tired hold
ers. Local receipts were considerably
more than had been estimated and still
larger receipts were forecasted for to-
morrow. During the day the July de-
livery sold between 66ssc and 69ssq69s4c.
The market closed decidedly weak with
July at &C.
Oats declined in sympathy with the
break in wheat and corn but the market
was relatively much stronger than either
of the grains because of reports of dam
age in illinois, Various states reports
were unanimously bearish and indicated
a condition far above the corresponding
period a year ago. The market closed
weak with prices unchanged to ssc lower.
compared with Fridays final figures.
Provisions were firm early in the day
because of a material advance in hog
prices since Friday, but weakened later.
The close was steady with prices a
shade lower to &c higher
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, July 6.-(Special.) THE mar
ket felt the effect today of the bomb
which exploded on Friday last, scatter
ing the bears, and although very heavy
realizing sales depressed prices temper
arily to about those of the close on
Friday, wave OF concerted buying
caused a sharp rally. bear is short
lived at present and so long as indica-
lions are of small crop and increasing
demand 1t Is difficult to keep prices down.
Beyond the somewhat broadening demand
from outside buyers, Liverpool showed
firm front. The temperatures In Texas
are high, but elsewhere the outlook seems
fair.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, July e-Cotton spots We're
steady at an advance of l 1-6 on all
grades. Middling, IL Lice; sales were 500
bales on the spot and 725 to arrive.
Futures opened steady, unchanged to
points above the close last Friday.
Favorable advioes from Liverpool were
somewhat offset by lack OF demand and
bearish crop reports Later full re-
port on weather conditions in louisiana
Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma showed
that the southwestern section of the
belt was In the grasp of a hot wave which
had been much in evidence ever since
the market closed Friday. The report
showed this to be especially true in
Texas, and to make the possibility of de-
terioration all the more probable there
were no signs of relief through heavy
rains. The dissemination of these ad-
vices had marked bullish effect on
the market and steady advance was
brought about. At the close, which was
very steady, the market was IA to "a
points above the close Friday.
