New Orleans Cotton Market

| New Orleans, July 16.-cotton futures opened steady at an advance of 5 to 9 points on good cables and the absence of any such rains in Texas as were indi- cated in yesterdays private telegrams from that state. Shorts covered freely an especially good demand coming from yesterdays sellers. Light rains were again noted in the Atlantics on the weather map. and they increased bullish sentiment. The market was quiet, how ever. and bulls were not inclined to force the advance. LA the end of the first half hour of business prices were 12 points up on the active months. There was no trading in July in the early session.
 Around the middle of the morning the market was firm and IA to T points up on the weather forecast. which predicted fair weather for Oklahoma and west Texas and showers for the Atlantics Buying for both accounts was steady, although in moderate volume, and offerings were scanty. The weekly weather reports at II o'clock were somewhat better than expected. and private reports from Texas were encouraging, two features that again encouraged selling. and at noon the trad ing months were only to points over yesterdays last prices
 In the afternoon the market was quiet and steady. At 2 o'clock prices were 10 points over yesterdays close.

WHEAT MARKETS
 EXTREMELY WEAK
Perfect Crop Conditions Re- ported in the North
 west

Chicago, July 16.-All experts in the northwest reported practically perfect crop conditions today and thereby made the wheat market extremely weak Prices closed heavy, 9s@1ssc under last night. Corn showed net decline of ss43sc and oats a loss of 1ac to 1c. Latest trading left provisions varying from 12iAc lower to an advance of 5Q7he. Hope faded for the bulls in wheat when one dispatch after another said there was no sign of black rust, and that the weather remained just the sort needed to insure bumper crop. Rains in western Mis- souri that meant delay to threshing helped to sustain the prices during the last part of the session. Signs were noted, too, of lighter wheat crop in Europe than had previously been expect ed. September fiuctuated from 95c to gflsc, with last sales Ac to ssc off.
 Corn suffered not only because of wheat weakness. but on account of be- lief that oats would soon display corn for stock feeding. Some recovery ensued when there were advices that the weather was too dry in Oklahoma and Kansas. September ranged from 66ssc to 67s!c, cvlosing easy at 67ls@67h4c, the price 7sc down from A hours before. Cash grades were in poor request. No. yellow was quoted at 73AQ74Ac.
 The fact that cutting of oats was under way in Iowa and Illinois under condi- tions which left nothing to desire had n bearish effect on prices for that cereal. Action of other grain, however. formed the principal influence that swayed the market. September ranged from 3shc to Siisc with the close 1hc net lower to sS7sc.
 Support from packers at opportune times averted any serious decline in pro- visions. outside spectators taking ad- vantage Of a lighter run of hogs dis played tendency to unload. In the end prices averaged about the same as last night.

COTTON MORE OR
 LESS IRREGULAR Prices Close Steady at Net Advance of From 6 to
 3 Points

New York, July 16.-The cotton market was somewhat less active today and more or less irregular, although prices held generally above the closing figures of last night and closed at net advance of from 6 to g points.
 The opening was firm at an advance of from to points in sympathy with rela- tively steady cables, and the market worked up to a net gain of about s to l9 points late in the forenoon on covering by some of yesterdays close. or fresh buying for long account. This demand was inspired by the failure of official weather advices to indicate that the rains reported from Texas yesterday afternoon had been heavy or general enough to re- move drouth apprehensions and by the of ficial forecasts for continued showers east of the Mississippi river.
 Realizing became heavy above 124c for active new crop positions, and just before midday the market broke sharply on fav- orable Texas crop advances, one of which character said the present prospect was magnificent and claimed that the greater part of the state could go for another week or 10 days without injury from drouth.
 From IF. 30c October broke to 12 .14c. The option rallied 6 points from the lowest following the weekly weat tner bureau re- port which read bulllshly, especially with reference to Georgia. Subsequently fiuctu- ations were more or less nervous and ir- regular, but the considerable covering by earlier sellers during the last half hour caused the market to close or 10 points off from the best.
 Official western belt forecast was for fair weather in Oklahoma and west Texas by Thursday, and this probably | added to the selling late In the forenoon in connection with new crop accounts. Receipts, 2055 bales, against 274O last week and 300 last year, Today's receipts at New Orleans 20 bales. against POS last year; at Houston. 12O bales, against 275 last year. and at Galveston, 296 bales against 27 last year.

 Changes

Wholesale business on Morrisi avenue is sluggish and no changes are reported in quotations. A car of cantaloupes was received by the produce dealers yester- day but did not affect the prevailing low price. Sweet potatoes are abundant and grapes are coming along very well, with watermelons as popular as ever.
 The poultry and egg market report no change in prices, with good trade. Dry salt meats retain firm prices and quiet trade. Grain merchants are still entoy-j ing a rushing business at generally good prices Coffee and sugar prices hold firm, with trade up to the standard. Yesterdays quotations follow:

MORE IMPROVEMENT NOTED IN STOCKS Standard and Some Obscure Shares Take Part in the
 Days Advance

New York, July 1s4-Further improve ment was noted in the sluggish move ment of the stock market today lrl- pelling factors with additional favorable crop reports and greater ease of money on call and time. This latter eohu-'ioi' was directly traced to confidence que to last Saturdays bank statement ai- though it is probable, in the opinion or competent authorities that any pro- nounced increase in demand, especially for long time accommodations, might easily cause revival of last weeks higher quotations.
 Practically all the standard shares as well as a number of more obscure is- sues took part in today's advance, which halted in the late afternoon on reports from Washington that the Stanley inves- tigating committee is likely to recom- mend the dissolution of the United States corporation.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 16--Forelgn advices were unimportant. but the market was decidedly cratic. evidently over bought. A sharp advance was followed by a de- cline to last nights prices.
 The fluctuations are variously defined. the fact probably being that the buying power is nearly exhausted
 Texas had some rain. the weekly bu- reau was considered against prices. but Georgia had further rains, which were ignored
 The public is little in evidence and the crop is doubtless making sufficient pro- gress as whole to deter ardent sup- port though at times an effort is evi- dent.
 Profit taking Is common.
