NEW YORK. July 3.--Standa I'd
stocks were under pressure through
out the session in Walt Street to-day,
and declines Of more than a point
were recorded throughout the list.
Tho feeling was almost entirely pro-
fesaional, and was based on unfav-
orAble weather reports from the corn
belt. which had more than usual ef :
feet on eentime nt, owing to the OPP
presstve heat in this city. Trading
was very light and most OF the large
operators were absent from the street.
London sent over . lower range
Of prices for American securities due
to uneasiness over the demonstrat ton
made by Germany At Morocco, but
cables from the English financial CEN
ter said that the greater part of the
salos OF American securities there
originated In America. All foreign
exchanges, and particularly the
French Bourse. were excited. and low

Excuse. Not Reason.
Rumors that the government would
carry its suit to dissolve the Union
Pacific Southern Pacific merger,
which was recently decided against II,
to the United States Supreme Court,
were given as the excuse rather than
the reason for the weakness Of Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific. which
at their low prices showed losses Of

BY Edward Low RautIctt.

NEW YORK, July s.-The cotton
market was strong to-day and times
active. government condition re-
port was issued at noon showing the
highest condition for June since 1896.
The government made the percentage
of the growing crop as OF date June
70 last sS.2 as compared with s7.s
the month previous and so.f year
ago. The ten year average for the
July report has been 30. Before the
announcement of the report the mar
ket was bid up sharply by the bulls
and when the figures became known
prices advanced quickly with liberal
buying by the Southern bulls and by
the local short interest.
The report was somewhat lower
than expected by. the trade though
II 10 fully realized that the Western
cotton belt has lost in condition since
the Agures We're compiled on June
rs and 1t was from this point OF view
that the bulls acted in giving support
10 the marKet OF what rocked IKE
a highly favorable report.
September sold at 1855. October al
1880, December at 1882 ard January
at 1929 during the first fifteen min
utes after the government hgures had
been announced. For the remainder
of the session the market was mar

few BALES In AMERICUS
AT Finish OF SEASON
Holders Want Fifteen Cents
for Cotton.

Fifteen cents per pound, or we hold
our few remaining cotton bales until
the next crop comes" seems the de-
termination of farmers who are still
holding to the remnant of last sea-
sons crop. There are less than two
hundred bales old cotton held in
Americas warehouses, but it is held
tightly, and it really seems that moth
ing less than fifteen cents will shake
it loose. The market price yesterday
was IA IL cents, which is about the
top level of the entire season, but
it had no effect upon the situation, To-
cally, and the 20 bales are still I'M
sold in the warehouses and will like
ly remain there until the bear
crowd" yields Is cents as the price.
Out on the farms here a few bales
may also be held; probably as many
as 200, and as these holders do not
need the ready cash they, too, will
stay in the boat until Is cents is an
nounced as the price Of the staple.
