COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE cotton mar
ket had a further reaction during to-
days trading, as a result of continued
realizing for over Sunday and some
local selling based upon the prospects for
clearing weather. The close was barely
steady at a net decline of 11a17 points.
The opening was steady at a decline Of
Gao points in response to disappointing
cables. At first there was a considerable
demand from sellers of yesterday who
seemed willing to take very moderate
profits in view of the strong statistical
position and further complaints of wet
weather and low temperature in the
southern belt, but after rallying to within
six points of Fridays close on the old
crop, and to within 3a4 points Of that
level on the new, the market again
weakened. Offerings became rather more
general in the late trading and local
bears showed more courage in selling
as result of the favorable western belt
forecast and unfavorable reports from
manufacturing circles. Last prices were
at practically the lowest point of the
day. The closing of big Fall River mills
for alternate weeks has had tendency
to emphasize unfavorable domestic con-
ditions and lead to expectations of fall
ing off in trade requirements

Shad can no longer be offered for sale

The catch of shad on the Potomac
during the past season was small, but
good prices were obtained. Nets and

are now stored away at the different

spring, when shad and herring again
will make their appearance in the
Potomac and its many tributaries.

The statement of the Associated Banks
of the city of New York for the week
ending June IL indicated that the finan-
cial institutions of the city have been
strengthening their position, particularly
with reference to reserves. The gain in
specie and legals, taking the actual con-
dition as a basis, was $3,6S1 800. which
corresponded closely with preliminary es-
Inmates. Loans remained almost station
airy, the decrease having been only
$1,O41.7 700. Deposits showed an expan-
sion of about the same amount, or to be
exact, $1,1JO,OOO. and as result of the
operations noted reserves on all deposits
rose So, 393, $50. making the excess above
the % per cent minimum. $24, 1920.

operations included in last weeks actual
statement, but the excess reserve worked
out $23O99, 775. The summary of state
banks and trust companies in Greater
New York not reporting to the New York
clearing house revealed a striking de-
crease Of $9,O77, 100 in loans, an increase
of about three quarters of a million dol
lars in cash and an increase OF two mil
lions in deposits. The decrease in loans
was traceabIe almost entirely to the trust
companies and was due to the liquidation
movement, which was checked early in
the week."

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, June bids on an ex-
port basis were the best reported today
for the new crop of Texas wheat. Ac-
cordingly Oklahoma points could ship
their wheat here. Moreover July wheat
at Baltimore was offered today at
cents below Chicago July.
Confronted by such fact wheat here
sold at the lowest of the week and closed
almost at the bottom. The decline in
September and December futures was
Is less than in the July. Other leading
staples all closed lower. Corn q to
l Is lower; oats asaia to esaa4, and pro-
visions to 121a.
Both September and December wheat
went into the eighties today-in other
words, sold down under so cents buShel
and stayed there. A leading elevator
concern was free seller, chiefly of Sep
TENDER and July. Liquidation by many
small holders formed another conspicuous
feature. Splendid growing weather in the
northwest made an additional bearish in
fiuence. Primary receipts for the day
and week We're heavy. Foreign news was
little bullish. Smaller worlds ship
ments expected. Holders of wheat in
Australia and India very firm and the
continent taking the cargoes. but this
sort of news had little weight with the
trade in the face of bearish crop and
harvest conditions. Selling pressure in
creased after the first hour until almost
the last minute. One cause was a re-
cantation as to Hessian fly damage at
some places in southern Illinois. Septem-
Der ranged between s9ssa9OS4, closing easy
a S91saS9ss.
Corn showed a downward tendency all
day, despite early covering by shorts, be-
sides purchases for a rally. Warmer
weather with official forecast of more for
tomorrow led to heavy speculative sell
ing. September sold from 5S2s to 591sa

loss of Ba1c. The cash market also was

NEW YORK, June II, 1910
The stock market has been getting over
bad case of the "willies." It has been
suffering fortunes over things that haven't
happened and are not likely to happen.
Heads of railroads and spokesman for
railroads have been filling the newspapers
and the minds of investors and specula-
tors with lamentations over the ruin that
was to follow the move by the Attorney
General Of the United States to compel
them to obey the antitrust law. The
railroads have gone along calmly ignor-
ing various phases Of the Sherman anti
trust law until they had almost brought
themselves to believe that the statute
was dead letter and that they could
safely proceed upon that assumption.
1t gave them a horrible shock to dis
cover that the administration did not

FOREIGN MARKETS.

LONDON. June 11.-Trading was
quiet during the week on the stock
exchange. Early the feeling was un-
settled on fears of trouble during the
in American and rubber shares. The
close. however, was comparatively
steady on the reduction of the bank
rate and the conclusion of the settle
ment without difficulty. The sudden
ease of the money market, owing to
the bank of England buying treasury
bills and the reduction of the bank
rate, helped cOnsolS to advance Is on
the week, and caused a corresponding
hardening in other British securities,
but apprehensions Of difficulties dur
ing the settlement and liquidation of
copper shares by Paris and Brussels
later checked business in other direc-
tions and made the daily movements
narrow and unintereSting. Rubber
shares were firm and advanced sharply
at the week end on the higher prices
paid for crude rubber, under a broad
ening demand. Copper shares were
weak on the American statistics and
heavy continental selling.
American securities had an uncertain
tone despite the Washington agreement
on the rate question. which caused a
sharp rise early in the week. 1t is be-
lieved here the market will be unset

MANCHESTER. June 11.-Manufac-
turers of cloth adhere firmly to previ-

respond. The business Of the week was

China and miscellaneous cloths for

limited. The stocks Of American and

Agreement One-Sided.

The mere fact that this understanding
or agreement was entirely on the part of
the railroads did not at first strike them
as being important. Consequently, when
they were stopped in an attempt to impose
upon the public 10 to 20 per cent in
creased freight tax in order to compen-
safe the railroads for to per cent
increase in the pay roll the action was
at once heralded as a return to Roose-
veltism and as being a violent attack on
vested interested.
The curious feature Of the outbreak on
the part of the railroads and their spokes-
men was that they made this plea stick
to the extent of ten-point break in the
stock market. Wall street was thrown
into a state of decentralization. and a
spurious panic was organized which
smelled almost like a bunko game. The
eXtravagant and wild talk INDUCED in by
representatives of the railroads amply
justified the Attorney General for sus-
pecting that they might be trying to put
across something that would place the
administration in the embarrassing posi-
ton of seeming to nullify law of Con-
gress by executive approval of its in
fraction.

Rockefeller Forces Dividend.

There is another curious story afloat in
connection with st. Paul, which is to the
effect that while William Rockefeller was
selling it. John D. Rockefeller was buy
ing. If this be true there would be no
great occasion for surprise. 1t would not
be the first time that the two brothers
have been arrayed one against the other.
John d. Rockefeller was never heartily
in favor Of the Standard Oil millions go
ing into the copper industry and very
early in the game he pulled out. He did
not like the way Amalgamated was
hOated and did not hesitate to let that
fact be known. Amalgamated made
great deal Of money for insiders at the
beginning, but some of the biggest win
ners admit that it was the dearest bought
money they ever got hold Of. There has
always been a faint of scandal connected
with Amalgamated, and open suspicion
that it has been run more as a Wall
street than as a mining proposition. 1t
is now the backbone of a magnificent
scheme for copper merger which will
make the old original Amalgamated f1ota-
ton look like 10-cent piece in col
lection Of golden eagles-a scheme which
will make number of ambitious gentle
men either very famous in high finance
or very infamous.

Investors Are Wiser.

The merchant sense of trained and ed
ucated public has put investors wise to
splendid opportunity to get hold Of stock
on good terms. At present levels the very
best and most seasoned of the dividend
payers can be bought on an income basis
of ) per cent and better, and that is good
enough for the thousands and tens OF
thousands of men who have faith in the
future of the country and in the COM
mon sense of the administration at Wash
ingtOn.
There is a feeling that the railroad law
which is now in the last stages OF its
creation by Congress will in many ways
additionally safeguard investments in
railroad securities, and the reports which
come from the seat Of government bear
There is an underlying feeling resting on
the rock foundations of patriotic con-
fidence that the securities market is IN a
Sounder condition now than 1t has been In
many years ana that investments Will In
the future be insured a high measure OF
protection not hitherto enjoyed.
st. Paul has been the weakest stock Oh
the list throughout the whole Of this
slump. Great masses Of ST. Paul stock
have been thrown upon the market and
the street believes that it came from the
strong boxes Of William Rockefeller and
his associates. Mr.. Rockefeller'S utter
ances have been of the most gloomy kind
and the inference drawn from that tact
and from the avalanching Of the market
with st. Paul shares is that the play was
to make low prices. The break In St.
Paul was about twenty-five points and
it is said on the street that if ownership
the fault will not be with the party long

Control Is Endangered.

AS consequence several railroad
banking combinations have sold stocks
in sufficient quantities to endanger their
control of important railroad systems.
They have denuded their strong boxes or
the real certificates, and If there should
be show down 1t would be found that
the people who are in official control are
in reality very minor holders of the roads
over which they exercise domination. Not
only have they parted with control, but
they sold at low prices and they are in
mortal fear that they can only replace
their lines at a loss They have sold
themselves into hole, and are at this
very moment engaged in the painful task
of climbing out The exhibition they
make of themselves is not one to in
crease the respect or reverence of the
public for the powers that be. This is
one of the times that the powerful bank
ing interests have entirely misJudged the
intelligence and the cold nerve of the
investing and specializing masses. They
have been outplayed at their own game,
and are now standing partly empty-hand-
ed at the bottom of the big smash In
the market-a smash engineered by
themselves and halted halfway down. 1t
is a sad and interesting predicament for
the big fellows. They are learning a
much-needed and long-delayed lesson.

are not to be deceived into believing an
