New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, July 1l.-Cotton futures opened steady at an advance of to ' points on good cables and an unfaYorable weather map. The western belt remained dry and more rain fell in the eastern unfavorable, according to general opinion. Private cable messages were bullsh and spot sales in Liverpool of 14.o00 bales attracted much attention. July was inac- tive; soon after the call the new crops were points up. Profit taking set in heavily and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were unchanged to 1 point up compared with yesterdays close.
 Selling increased toward the middle of the morning. both sides taking part in it. Short sellinfi was stimulated by the claim from the bears that the market was overbought and that a heavy weak long interest had been built up during the recent advance. At the lowest of the morning prices were points under yes- terday's close The weather forecast was considered unfayorable and while 1t did not have any immediate effect after be- ing posted, late in the morning buying sprang up which was said to be based on 1t. At noon prCes were 2 points over yesterdays close on the most active months.
 In the afternoon the market was dull ing months were to [ points under yes terday's close.

OPERATIONS ON 4 LESSACT|VE SCALE Cotton Reaches 12 to 13 Points Above Previous
 Market Close

New York, July 11.-Operations in the cotton market were on a less active scale today with noticeable absence of out side interest. The opening was firm at 8 to Il points advance and shortly after wards the market reached the highest figures of the day, or 12 to IS points above the previous close. From this there was a gradual reaction of If to 20 points, followed by partial recoveries in the late afternoon, the close being steady, points net lower to higher.
 At no time during the session was there any appearance of actual weakness in the market. Such reactions as occurred were mostly the result of profit taking by commission houses and a little short selling by room traders. So long as the weather conditions remain uncertain and the spot situation strong, with the big short interest still believed to exist In among the trade to operate extensively on the bear side. Complaints about crop conditions were quite numerous from va rious sections of the eastern belt, as well as Texas. and there still was too much rain in Alabama, Georgia and the Caro- linas to justify any optimistic views on the crop. Boil weevik were said to- be doing serious damage in parts of south west Texas. as well as in Alabama and Mississippi.
 A large inquiry was reported for new crop cotton today for September and De- tober shipment to Europe. Spot markets were unchanged to 1sc higher.

 Wheat Unsettled

Chicago, July 11.-Hnnts that rust had appeared in the northwest today unset tied the price of wheat but the reports scare. The close was nervous and isGAc to 1ac under last night. Corn at the finish ranged from l4c off to %c advance; oats down. AQssc to ssc. and provisions un- changed to a decline of 10e.
 A dip occurred at the outset in the wheat market, because of cool and fa- vorable weather Dry conditions south ter yield counted also against the bulls Suddenly, however. quotations swung up ward. Rumors were current that rust had been observed in two counties of south ern Minnesota. Before there was time to investigate prices ran up li4c bush el.

 Better demand from the east helped to sustain corn after the wheat bulge had overcome bearish sentiment, due to cool weather Lightness of receipts tended to lift the market. September varied from 6slsc to 69Aq693sc, closing nervous 1sQAc up at 6S7sc. Cash grades were firm. No. ? yellow was quoted at 74W74lsc.

SENTIMENT bEAR|SH l IN STOCK MARKET. Days General News Cheer ful-FOreign News Is
 Encouraging

New York, July 11.-Trading in stocks today was by alternate buying and rallies with more or less hesitation at the end. Business was light except in the hour when prospects of a money stringency- call loans later went to S1a per cent-ln- duced some bearish effect in the selling.
 Sentiment was really bearish, this at titude being based in part on monetary uncertainties, and the apparent lack or buying power in the market There also is a general belief that the so-called big speculators have abandoned the market to its own devices until political con ditions become more definite. The days general news was cheerful, embracing ad- ditional encouraging crop advices from the northwest, dispatches from the lead ing steel centers announcing that no ces- sation is shown, ana statements from railroad officials in the far west point ing, to the probability of car famine because of the increasingly heavy ton mage.
 Aside from fresh weakness in Cop per, foreign news was encouraging, all though some anxiety is felt at the heavy liquidation now proceeding in the Paris market. There are intimations that the selling is related to tension in the Euro pean political situation.
 The weekly statement of the Bank of England was noteworthy chiefly for the large increase in the proportion of it's liabilities to reserves, which rose from 1 to per cent. The Bank of France reduced it's discounts by over $6s 000,000 and increased it's gold by s2,OoO0oo. The Berlin bourse was weak and dull.
 Bonds were lower, with total sales par value s2, 2,606Ooo. United States government bonds were unchanged.

New York, July 11.--(Special.) )-Eu- ropean markets again furnished unex- pected support this morning, but on the improvement here there appeared further realizing orders under the weight of which we slowly declined to the close, which was points under last evening. This market has halted dur ing the past two days, showing that some heavy realizing was going on.
 Crop conditions continue about the same and the trade believe they will soon hear complaints from Texas where the prospects now could hardly be bet ter. It will thus be seen that the local sentiment is in favor of the market, even after long continued advance, upon which spinners have secured large supplies.
