little progress. What progress was made
east of the river was offset by deteriora-
ton, so that in the entire area covered

crop may be said to have stood still dur

crop in the lowlandS where weeds abound.
In the opinion of most correspondents,
much of this damage. If not all, may
oe overcome by weather good for growth

weather and plenty Of sunshine. In the

This bill sounds suspciously like a
revenue measure and as such must

us TO consider it," said Senator Ennis,
of the Forty second district
Senator Felker asserted vigorously

NEW YORK, July 15-Further uu-
favorable reports over Sunday over the
larger portion of the belt gave the cotton
market a steady tone on the opening to-
day. with prices ranging 4 to S points bet
ter than the previous close. The ring
crowd and big professionals shortly after
the opening began to SELL taking profit,

ing caused sharp decline with prices un
changed to points below the first figures.
The ring crowd continued selling UP to
the noon hour on anticipation of favorable
weather. Spot houses were reported to
be sellers also the Wall Street interest.
The forecast is for cooler in the west.
