COTTON DECLINE
 IS SENSATIONAL
Unfavorable Foreign Trade Inspires Renewed Gen.
 eral Selling

New York, July 25.-There was another sensational decline in the cotton market today with renewed general selling in spired by unfavorable foreign trade ad- vices and increased confidence in a fay orable August bureau report, and with tie close weak, net unchanged on July, but 1a points lower on August and from S5 to 41 points under the closing figures of yesterday on new crop positions, which of course made new low records for the season.
 The market opened easy at an advance of points on July, but generally 9 to Is ing cables and selling by people who had bought yesterday for reaction. A rally of about 10 points followed cov-
 ering and trade buying. but the market weakened again toward midday on re- ports that apprehensions of famine in
 India were demoralizing the Manchester | malket, and rumors that preliminary re-
 turns to the National Gnners association pointed to an August bureau report of l about 9o.9 per cent. compared with Ss.2 per cent last month. Selling became gen. S,oi OAi tiicSe ISpOIios anu tlo loWcSh iof- ols of tho day were reported in the late trading, December selling at 11.46c and 5anuary 11.40c. Near positions continued relatively quiet and steady, but August brolSe to F. 40c, a new low record for the season and a net decline of about 25 points. Last prices were up from the low est on August, but at the lowest point of the day on new crop positions, for while covering. was very heavy. below 111sc for fall and winter positions, selling con- tinued active for both southern and local account. The relative steadness of July vas attributed to lack of interest in that position and the absence of offerings, while il is supposed that holders of the local stock gave support when necessary in order to protect the basis. The pri- vate cables from Liverpool reported an unfavor able breaking of the Indian mon- soon and fears that the crops of food grains would be insufficient

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 25.-Cotton futures opened steady at a decline of 8 to 70 points on poor cables and good crop ac- counts. Liverpool was lower than due
 and in addition, messages sent over pri- vate wires telling of the depressing ef- feet of the political situation, the fear Of impending strikes and prospects of poor trade in India as the result of bad monsoon. Scalpers went short on these messages but the selling was not suf- ficiently heavy to widen the initial de- cline. The market acted oversold and when shorts tried to take profits they put prices up. on themselves. At the end of the first half hour of business, the list was to 5 points under yesterdays close.
 The small recovery in the early trading only served to bring out more selling or ders from sources that were not well un- derstood. It was at length rumored that one of the leaders of the bull clique had turned bear and was accommodating D huge line of shorts. Accompanying this rumor was another to the effect that a private crop reporting bureau was our with a condition report of S9.9 which in- dicated a higher government report than last month Prices crumbled very quickly under the pressure, all of the active

WHEAT MARKET Is
 CRUSHED FLAT
Filling of Wheat Into Chi cago Reaches Point AL
 most Without Precedent

Chicago, July 25.--Piling of wheat into Chicago reached a point today almost without precedent, crushing the market flat. The end of the day left prices 14@ & under last night Corn closed a. shade to s4c down, oats unchanged to a4c lower and provisions dearer by 5dS0c.
 The total amount of wheat on hand in this city was figured today at the huge aggregate of 13, 2s6,O0O bushels. Included in this stock are 9,9720o0 bushels of full contract grade as against only 451,0O0 bushels at the corresponding time year ago. Simultaneous with this showing csme rews that the worlds available sup ply had increased 4.25S,Ooo bushels com pared with a decrease of 2,s43,00o bushels 12 months back. Slowly but beyond help prices gave way, an early advance dis takable set in.
 Export sales, at least those heard of before the end of the session, made lit- tic if any difference in the prevailing bear sentiment. Between the opening and the close September ranged from S7ssc to Ss5sc, with last trades 1ac net lower at S75sc.
 Corn followed the downward movement Of wheat. Country offerings arrived here in considerably greater volume than had been the case at the outset. Many small stop loss orders were uncovered. In gen. eral crop advices appeared more fav- orable. September fiuctuated between 6S$sc and eic, closing nervous ssc net lower at 62%c. Cash grades were weak. No. 3 yellow finished at 63Q64c.
 Hedging sales against newly harvested oats made the market for that cereal weak almost from the start. Weather well adapted for threshing had a similar effect. High and low levels touched by the September option were 4O34c and 395sc, with the close at S97sc, a net loss of a4c.
 Provisions advanced because of . western packers liberal buying of Sep- ten,ber lard, stimulating the rest of the list At the windup pork was 221a43Oc higher than last night. lard increased in cost 10d121ac to 15d171sc, and ribs lifted 5Q221ac.

RECEIPTS HEAVY ON MORRIS AVENUE: Much Missouri Fruit Is Be- Received-N0 Scarcity
 In Produce

Receipts were heavy on Morris avenue Tuesday, potatoes, cantaloupes and poul- try being among the larger shipments. Fruit from Missouri Is coming in daily. The crop in that state promises to be large this year and owing to the limited supply in this section a great deal more will be shipped in from that and other states than during other seasons.
 Poultry was in evidence all along the thoroughfare yesterday. .t good demand was experienced and prices were stiff at P cents for hens and from If to 16 cents per pound for flyers. Eggs were not quite so plentiful, although suffi- cient to supply yesterdays trade.
 No scarcity of produce, with the ex- ception of cabbage, was reported yes- terday. Cabbage and other vegetables are being pretty well furnished by the truckers in the district and seant sup ply on the market now is not so effec- tive as would be earlier in the year
 Packers experienced an excellent trade Tuesday. Quotations are strong and an increase today or tomorrow would not be unexpected

SELLING IS HEAVY
 IN STOCK MARKET
Rate Adjustment and Mo- roccan Reports Actuated
 Trading

5f New York, July 25.-Events home and ' abroad combined to unsettle the stock market today.
 :. The order of the interstate commerce < commission for a readjustment of trans- 1continental freight rates and reports of the present gravity of the situation in Europe as regards Morocco was suf- 1fcient evidence to bring on heavy sell ling
 The market lost its indifferent tone and trading increased largely.
 Wall street was more concerned with the broad principle of railroad rate reg uation enunciated by the interstate com merce commission than In the reductions In rates ordered. The chief effect of the decisions as it concerned the stock market seemed to be a bear attack for which 1t furnished a reasonable excuse.
 The influence of the Moroccan situa- tion was felt in this market chiefly on account of the selling here for foreign account Prices were lowered in London before the opening here and pressure from abroad was one of the chief infiu- lences in bringing about the abrupt break which occurred at our opening London Ein turn attributed the weakness of Amer leans to selling for New York account which probably was due to the expecta.. ton of orders placed on news of the freight rate decision in expectation of a break in prices here.
 The quarterly report of the United States Steel corporation showed the ex- pected improvement In earnings. The to- tai was quite in accord with previous es- inmates anc was accepted as confirming the reports of slowly improving condi- ! 1tions in the steel trade. The govern ments weekly weather report was favor- sable, but anxiety in regard to the crop situation has been eased so greatly dur ing the last fortnight that less import ance is now attached to these state- ments.
 Price movements in the stock market reflected the play of these influences in a sharp break at the outset
 Prices were from 1 to points below yesterdays close. London was reported the first few minutes ardE sup- plemented by supply Of about 10000 shares on direct orders from the conti- nent. Heavy selling by bear traders heightened the effect of pressure from abroad The list recovered, however, with rapidity and was soon ruling at slightly above the previous days final figures, the | upturn perhaps representing drive at the short interest. This display of strength was not long maintained. The market grew steadily weaker and in the last hour sank to a point we'll below the high prices of the day, although not to the low level of the morning, net losses in most cases being limited to small amounts.
 The Hill shares were weak throughout, presumably on account of their expected losses through the freight rate decision. Reading and Lehigh valley were strong features. .a
