HARDLY A RIPPLE IN STOCK MARKET
Traders Reluctant on Ac-
 count of Imminence of l.. Important Events

New York, July With the exception of few stocks, most of them inactive is- sues, the market barely stirred through today's session. The three favoritc me- diuns of experimentation Pacific, Read ing and United States Steel-all moved within range of less than a point. After some irregularity in the early trading the market became dull and remained in q comatose condition to the end, clos ing with only insignificant changes.
 The reluctance of traders to conduct ag- gressive operations on either side of the market was due in no small measure to the imminence of events which may have a decided influence upon speculation. Thc government crop report, the monthly statement of unified tonnage of the United States Steel corporation and the monthly figures of the Copper Producers association, all will be made known on Monday. Moderate revivals In both the steel and copper trade doubtless will be reflected in Mondays statements, ai- though the copper market, after period of increased activity has grown dull. Cop per prices advanced in London today and the domestic market was at standstill Exports of copper during the past week from this port increased 30 per cent.
 Among the few stocks which moved widely today, Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke was most Conspicuous. A gain or 13 points, making its rise In the last two days g points, was followed by re- lapse. The violent fluctuations of this stock was attributed to manipulation ard a report that the company was to be ab- sorbed by the United States Steel met with denial. Underwood Typewriter, which has enjoyed a meteorc rise, lost part of its gain and Pennsylvania, Vest ern Maryland, Pittsburg, Chicago, Cincin- natl and St. Louis, and the fertilizer and copper stocks were higher.
 The foreign exchange market was strong today owing presumably to the activities of a considerable short interest which was built up in expectation of decline in the rates after the end of last month. Sterling exchange rates were slightly easier for the first day or two of July, but instead of reacting further rose again. Yesterdays advance of 10 to 15 points were followed by further upturn today, although the market eased off before the close.
 Forecasts of tomorrow's bank state ment point to loss of cash, which some estimates place as high as sSoo9o,ooo. This is due to payments to the sub-treasury for Panama bonds and to the fact that the inward flow of currency from .he interior has shrunk to small proportions, resulting in a small loss on balance for the week.
 Bonds were steady; total sales, par value, $1,s45,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 7.-Cotton futures steady at a decline of 5dS points. Cables were about as due. The weather map was wet, light to good showers being indicated in nearly all of the drouth regions of the belt. Selling orders were heavy on the first call, but shorts were good prof 1t takers and their buying supported the market. Private telegrams told of more rain than was noted on the weather rap and bears contended the drouth mad been effectually broken. This brought Tn some outside selling, but the market still wore a professional look. At the end of the first half hour of trading prices were 6 to 9 points under yesterdays close.
 At the middle of the morning the list was g to 12 points under yesterdays close. At this level profit taking by shorts be- came heavy enough to check the decline and start recovery. The weather fore east predicted rains for the entire west ern half of the belt, including all DOT tions of Texas and Oklahoma, but 1t had no effect upon the market The gossip of the floor was that trade buying was once more a factor in the situation and that below 1Sc spinners and spot houses were disposed to hedge their requirements by buying October and December. Prices gradually rose until at noon at the new crop months were only 1 to points un- derday's close. August was under. July was inactive.
 In the afternoon trading was chiefly among ring scalpers At o'clock prices were to F points under yesterdays close. The market closed steady at a net decline of 2 to il points.

THE WHEAT MARKET
 CONTINUES STRONG
Widening Crop Damage Re- ports Have Much to Do
 With Market

Chicago, July Awakening crop damage reports from North Dakota, threatening similar losses ii Manitoba, had much to do today with making the wheat market strong. Closing figures showed a net ad- vance of 1Aa1ssc. Corn wound up with gain of 1ssc to 1%417sc. Oats improved 1c to 1ss@11ac, and provisions 10ql2lac to soc.
 She influential news from North Da- Sota came chiefly in the form of dis patches by bankers who had made pre- various sections of that state. In sub stances, the facts as put forward today were not nearly so encouraging as before. North and cast, the conditions apparently remained good, but west and south poor. Heat 'drouth and even diseased seed took rank as among the chief causes to which damage was laid. Manitoba, too, sent word of hot weather, high winds and re- newed signs of rust. There was also gossip here as to large export sales. Fur thermore, it did not escape attention that Liverpool prices had risen. a circumstance attributed In part at least to the uneasy situation regarding Morocco At no time during the session was there any i'm portant setback. September fluctuated between 9O4c and 92c, with the close easy but 19sc net higher at 919sc.
 Corn showed surprising strength from the start. What interested traders most was the knowledge that larger part of the belt had been without rain over night, and that another heat scare did not seem altogether improbable. September ranged from 64s4c to 66Ac, and closed steady, 17s@D 1%c up at 65s4165Ac. Cash grades were firm. No. 3 yellow finished at 63s4@64c.
 Spectators bought oats because of the strength of wheat and corn. Many of sellers were busy reinstating lines. The country sold very little to arrive. High and low points for the Sep tember delivery were 461Ac and 45Bc, with latest figures 11aGplAc net higher at 46ssc.
 In view of the advance of hogs and coarse grains. provisions became firm. The final result was dearer list through out-pork up 20490c, lard 10a121sc to 15c, and ribs 15d1714c.

COTTON RECOVERS
 AFTER OPENING
Fresh Buying for Long Ac- count Checked By the
 Weather Forecast

New York, July 7.--Further showers in the southwest caused an opening decline in the cotton market today, but while other crop months were gen. erally weak new crop positions seemed to be developing much the same re- sistance to pressure as was noted on the decline to around the 13-cent level toward the end of June and prices ral- lied several points in the late trading with the market closing steady at a net loss of s to 16 points on the near months but of only to points on later deliveries. The opening was steady at a decline of l to 4 points on old and of to 12 points on new crop positions in response to lower cables and renewal of yesterdays selling movement which was encour- aged by the appearance of further rains or showers in the southwest There was some trade buying on the initial decline and recent sellers appeared in clined to take profits. At any rate of ferings were well absorbed and prices rallied or 6 points from the lowest shortly after the call.
 'iOSh puyihS lor lOIS dCCOunL was checked, however, by the western belt forecast calling for unsettled wea CT and further showers and during the middle of the day the market eased off again, old crop positions leading the decline owing to the circulation of few July notices and liquidation by trailing longs. The official weather de- tails for Texas showing the showers to have been lighter and less general than expected, came to the support of new crop positions when they had de- clined to about the opening figures and while private wires claiming showers this afternoon at or points in Texas caused moderate recession during the last hour, closing prices on the new crop were well up from the lowest. Old crop positions seemed to be very ner- vous and unsettled, but after making a new low record for the movement and selling at 14.2S, or 22 points net lower, July also rallied slightly from the low est as a result of covering and closed at 14.S4c bid. Weekend figures were about as expected and attracted little attention.
