WAITING PERIOD
 IN COTTON MARKET

New Orleans June 19.-At the close of last week it looked as if the cot ton market was approaching another waiting period The probabilities seem to favor such a condition again this week. In the first place there is the present uncertainty over the July deal to say nothing about what may develop in the case of the government against the bull clique.
 Any developments in this direction will only make for more uncertainty in the market itself Some traders are inclined to believe that the first notice day for July will bring some sort or an answer to the question of what IS to be done with that delivery, but the first notice day for July will not be reached this week. On the close or last week it was freely predicted In mar ket letters that 1t would be the policy of the leading bulls to allow matters to drift along until July should be the cur rent month It is generally accepted that the policy of the bulls Is not to put prices up so long as there Is danger of attra cting any great amount of cotton to New York to be delivered on contract.
 Because of the nearness of the first notice day for July 1t Is probable that trading by outsiders in the July de- livery will be less in volume than heretofore. and chiefly confined to the liquidation of old lines rather than to the accumulation of new lines
 August has not of late been the ac- tive month it once promised to be aud there Is a strong chance that 1t will not display much activity this week as the trade wants to get a better line on the amount of new cotton 1t Is pos sible to pick and ship to market be- fore the end of August.

MORE DEMAND FOR
 IRON AND STEEL

New York June 19-The principal fea-. ture of interest in pig iron last week was. the revival in the demand for basic iron in eastern Pennsylvania. Sales came to- the surface in the last few days aggre-, gating 10000 tons at s155O to $16, delivered, and four more consumers are in the mar ket for as much more in lots ranging. from 20o0 to 10000 tons each.
 As in foundry iron, the larger volume; of business has developed through con- sessions, prices dropping from 50 cents to, 70 cents per ton for delivery over the. third quarter of the year. Foundry iron. has continued active, the principal con- tracts being placed in New England where lots aggregating from 10000 to 15.000 tons was taken at prices ranging from s16.75 to $17 delivered for No. 2. shipments. to be made over third and fourth quar- ters.
 Pipe works on the Delaware have se-' cured about 5000 tons lower grades from; Alabama furnaces on the basis of .5O for No. at Birmingham for early ship ment Other consumers In the same dis- trict have taken about an equal tonnage of coke malleable and gray foundry iron in lots of from 1000 to 5000 tons each.
 There has been less activity in the cen. tral west. but 30.000 tons of Bessemer and basic are pending in Pittsburg territory; At Chicago there was more activity m the last few days but at low prices; Contracts placed in all districts aggre- gated about 100000 tons.
 Finished steel products were more ac- tive. Quite liberal volume of business was placed in bars. plates and shapes. It is expected that the Carnegie Steel com- pany will roll the 6o.Oo0 tons of plates and shapes required for the Panama locks gates for the Marshall Construction com pany, who submitted the lowest bids to the government
 Railroads released many small orders for bridges and other structural work, east and west. and there are numerous new inquiries of the same sort.
 Fabricated steel contracts aggregated 10000 tons of new business and speciflca- tions aggregated 35,000 tons.

COTTON CROP VERY
 SMALL FOR SEASON

Memphis, June 19-The Commercial-Ap- peal tomorrow will publish the following summary of cotton crop conditions:
 The past week was favorable to the cot ton crop except in the two Carolinas and parts of Georgia, where the rainfall was excessive, washing the fields and delaying cultivation so greatly that grass is feared North Carolina fields were dam aged by flooding. Elsewhere it appears that a week of bright weather will repair much of the loss.
 The crop has not grown rapidly, and is still small for the season of the year. The plant looks generally healthy, how ever, and would grow very fast with high temperatures day and night. In many sections where there are complaints correspondents anticipate much better re- ports next week if the weather is warm.
 It would seem that week of dry weather would put the crop in excellent shape as to cultivation throughout the south.
 In Texas the soil Is dry, but as yet lit- tie damage has been noticed. Moisture Is needed. however, to stimulate plant growth. Boil weevil do not appear num- erous, although In Mississippi and some sections of Louisiana they are more SO Dry. warm weather Is needed east of Texas and Oklahoma, and rains will be beneficial to these two states.

Cotton Crop Is Retarded

Montgomery, June 19.-Heavy rains in the past week have retarded the cotton crop somewhat In some places the plants were washed out. In others, where replanting was necessary because of the April cold, the plant Is small and grass is thick. It has been so damp that 1t was impossible to work the fields, but the last few days of hot dry weather will do much to restore normal conditions. The stand throughout Alabama Is good and plant CTS expect an average crop A feature of this season is the great amount of land planted in corn. A br mper corn crop Is expected

Yesterdays Explosion In New York.
New York, Dec. 20.-The body OF
the tenth victim OF yesterdays ex-
plosion at the New York Central term
inal was taken from the ruins early TO-
day. 1t is believed that this completes
the death list, as, according to the Off
cials, the missing employees have turned
up. However, a large force Of work
men is still at work clearing away the
debris in order to make, certain that
there arc no more dead.
OF the injured in the hospitals five
have fractured skulls and will probably
die. Four others have serious fractures
of limbs, one man has lost one eye and
will probably lose the sight OF the Other
a girl has lost an eye, while many
others are suffering from painful lace
rations.
The coroner and district attorney are
cooperating in their investigation to
fix the responsibility. 1t now seems
certain that the disaster could have
been averted had some one taken the
precaution to I'll the sand box OF the
electric line which hauled the train
that snapped the Pintsch gas pipe.
The explosion damage runs into the
millions. 1t was estimated by the in.
spectors OF the building department to-
day that put all OF the damaged struc-
lures in the explosion zone" into
condition will require 81 500, 900. Some
OF the structures are SO wrecked that
they will have to be rebuilt. Il

A CORRESPONDENT in Portland writes
to the indianapolis News that he be-
lieves Maine will repeal ITS prohibition
laws at the election next September.
The preliminaries TO the necessary con-
stitutional amendment are all arranged
according to this observer. The demo-
cratic legislature will pass a resolution
for resubmission of the liquor question,
he says, and Governor Plaisted will
sign it. The proposition will be pre-
scented to the people at the next cleo
ton and the correspondent ADDS;
Judging from the results few years
ago in Vermont and New Hampshire,
it would seem reasonable to predict
that prohibition will be wiped out. In
the meantime it is believed that rigid
enforcement will be inaugurated by the
sheriffs in every county for the next
eight months, to make the present law
still more unpopular" 1t would seem
that now when the people Of New Eng
land, who started the prohibition hum
bug, see its futility and are repu-
dating it, there are some southern peo-
pie who would take up the New Eng
land cast off garment and try to
force others to wear it
