NEW HIGH RECORDS
 IN COTTON MARKET

 of 1 to b points on good cables and

 ing through commission houses just be-
 low II cents for the new crop positions
 and the continued readiness with which
 these offerings were absorbed, the mar
 ket suddenly became very firm follow ing rumors that the condition report of

 points net advance and IT points higher above the previous high mark of the season. Realizing was heavy around these figures and later fluctuations were some what irregular but offerings were very
 well absorbed and last prices were with
 in ? or 8 points of the top. Aside from rumors regarding the crop report men toned above, which were not officially confirmed, there seemed to be no fresh bull news in the market, and while fur ther precipitation was reported in east era and central sections of the belt the
 rainfall was not as heavy as shown yes- | terday.

SOME RECOVERY
 IN STOCK MARKET Hartman RumorS Are DiS- peIIed and Market Clears Up BUYING IS MORE ACTIVE United States Steel and Hartman Stocks Are in Demand and
 Other Stocks Are Fa-
 vorabIy Affected.

New York, June PA recovery in prices today was to be expected in view of the baselessness of the rumors which were circulated in the stock market yesterday to account for the selling. As the rumor of E. H. Harriman's sudden and fatal ill- nes was quickly disproved, the conclu- sion followed that it was put in circula- ton with the purpose of forcing selling of stocks in the interest of the bear posi- tion. The appearance of groundless rumor of this importance and seriousness is taken usually as an indication of grow ing difficulty in a speculative position. The bears, in consequence, found their following considerably reduced today and those of them that were still short Of stocks felt inclined to cover. There was renewed buying also from the large com mission houses from which selling yes- terday gave the impression of import ant liquidation.
 Supporting orders at influential points in the market made themselves felt, but were withdrawn later in the day There was even a recurrence of some of the deal" ~rumors which had become dis credited Dy the Nloiehe uloP III P
 The buying of United States Steel, the Hartman Pacifcs and Reading proved particularly imposing and had strong influence on sentiment toward the whole market. The assertion was Ventured again that there might be something going to happen to account for the ma terial advance which had occurred in the price of the Wabash stocks
 Attention was directed also to pro- posed construction of railroad strip which would connect the Rock Island with the Missouri, Kansas and Texas. Whiie these and other factors served some pur- pose in keeping selling orders off the mar ket and in dnducingi some buying the de- mand proved to be but desultory ana the action of the market became extremely 1istless. The order of the activity was reversed from that of yesterday when the lethareic early market emerged into the violent selling of the, last hour' Io- day the greater part of the days busi- ness was contracted in the first hour and the latter part of the session at the higher level of prices was semi-stagnant.
 The tone of the foreign markets was somewhat heavy and dull and this de- prived the recovery here of encourage ment The general settlement to be ef- fected in the London stock market to- morrow partly accounted for the halting tendency heavy fall in prices since
