COTTON MARKET

New York. June 4-The cotton market
was quiet today, but prices just about
recovered yesterdays loss, and the close
was steady at net advance of from
3 to 8 points.
The opening was steady at an advance

which was encouraged by a favorable
view of weather conditions and the bear
ish average of private crop accounts
Liverpool, however, was a shade better
than due, private cables reported con-
tinental buying of new crop months and
advices from Moscow said that the low
government condition report of Monday
had rendered Russian spinners somewhat
uneasy and stimulated better demand
from that source. This talk of increased
interest on the part of foreign spinners
seemed to check offerings to some extent
and the market firmed up shortly after
the call on covering of shorts, foreign
buying and moderate support from local

attracted by the unsettled stock market,

OKRA OFFERED IN
WHOLESALE TRADE
Brisk Demand for Canta-
lOupes-POultry Market
Is Still Short

There is practically no change in yes-
terday's quotations on Morris avenue.
Okra is now in evidence on "the street.
and is selling at SO hamper. canta-
loupes are being very generally received
and there is a good supply now on hand.
The demand for this fruit is quite brisk.
The poultry market is still short and
very few shipments are being received.
Poultry prices remain unchanged despite
the fact that few hens are on the mar>
ket
The egg market Is existing from hand
to mouth, barely enough eggs to supply
the trade are being received and in many
cases dealers find 1t impossible to meet
the demand. At this time of the year
even though they are freshly laid. the
taste is strong: stale. In the north, where
it is cool. eggs taste just as we'll in suns
mer as at any other time. The 'heated's
eggs are not rotten In the accepted sense
of the term and will do very we'll foN
cooking purposes.
The fish market is still oversupplied.
Prices are stationary and the demand
rather slow. It is believed, however, that
by the end of this week the market win
be normal once more.
The grain market is in a flourishinr
condition. The demand is brisk and ths
supply in keeping. Quotations for yesters
day are unchanged, but 1t is said that 4

DEPRESSION FELT
IN COTTON MARKET
Effects of Bearish Crop,
Weather News and Tum-
BILE in Stocks Felt

New Orleans, June 4.-The cotton mar
ket was moderately depressed today by
bearish crop and weather news and by
the downward course of prices in the
stock market. Poor trade talk in this
country. however was balanced by opti-
mistic reports from European trade CEN
ters and Liverpool reported spot sales
of 10000 bales. At the same time futures
in the English market were not high
enough and contributed to the downward
course of the local market in the early
trading.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices were s to IL points down. Mod
crate short selling came out on the first
call and a little later the forecast of
showers in the eastern half of the belt
increased short offerings. At the lowest
of the day prices were II points under
of the morning on, the market was very
dull although in the afternoon prices had
a tendency to recover on profit taking by
scaiping shorts. The close was steady
at net loss of 5 to 7 points.
Reports from the belt indicated that
no section was suffering for want of
moisture, that temperatures were high
without being too high and that the
crop was making satisfactory growth.
Many accounts called fields exceptionally
clean and in high state of cultication.

PRICES TUMBLE DUE
TO BREAK IN STOCKS
Wheat Nervous and 7-Sc to
l 3-Sc Under Tues
days Close

Chicago June 4.-Wheat prices tumbled
today mainly because of the break In the
stock market. The close was nervous and
was net loss of hc to AGssc, and for
oats, 1sdssc to sc. The outcome as TO
provisions varied from TIC decline to an
advance of 2lsc.
Wheat prices at first were higher, but
new investment demands were soon salts
fed, and when owners evinced tendency
to realize on holding the market balSed.
Serious reduction in Kansas and Okla
homa crop estimates led to a temporary
upturn at this juncture, but the depression
in Wall street quickly acted as more than
an offset.
Stop loss orders swept wheat into the
pit and especially in the last hour. until
some good sized purchases by commission
firms Just before the close halted the
stampede The rally, however, was not
Impressive and attention in the end dwelt
most on the financial situation and Wash
ington tariff reports of free wheat.
Primary receipts of wheat were large at
500, 900 bushels, against 25S,O00 a year ago.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and Hour
equalled $4,000 bushels.
Corn reacted with wheat after touching
the highest level of the season, the early
advance being due chiefly to covering by
belated shorts. Hedging sales and chances
of imports from Canada formed the princi-
pal weight on oats
In provisions some strength developed
owing to the corn bulge. Heayiness was
the rule later though, in line with all the
other staples on exchange.

SEVERE BREAK IN
STOCK MARKET
Liquidation on Large Scale
and Series of Bear
Drives Responsible

New York, June 4.-Liquidation on a
large scale together with series of
bear drives, caused severe disturb
ance in the stock market during the
first half of today's session. A rally
then occurred and trading became
quieter, with decided change in price
The volume of business was much In
excess of recent averages, amounting
to more than 100000 shares during the
first two hours when the market was
most active.
The initial downward impulse came
from London, where American securities
were depressed substantially In some
instances before the opening here
With the beginning of business the
market was flooded with selling or
ders and quotations were forced down
rapidly in all directions OF 1877 stocks
dealt in during the day about 100
reached new low levels for the year.
In some cases the prices were the
lowest since the panic of 1907
selling for foreign account, was again
prominent factor in depressing the
market. London offered the interna-
tional stocks freely disposing of $4,000
or more shares here on balance. An
other unsettling factor was the unof-
hcial report from Washington that fur
ther proceeding against the American
Tobacco company and the Standard Oil
company were being contemplated by
the administration. The tobacco stocks
broke badly. American Tobacco
dropping II points. Denial from Wash
1ngton that any immediate trust prose-
cutions were in prospects had a good
deal to do with steadying the market
later and during the afternoon prices
gradually improved. The upturn
seemer to be due largely to short cover
ing, however, and could not be said to
represent a change in sentiment.
The further decline in stocks today
led to the calling of loans and while
the effect upon the money market has
not been pronounced, bankers predicted
stiTfer rates before the end of the
month. Time money was firmer today
but the bond market was weak, with
declines of / to points in some cases.
Total sales par value, $2,S50,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 4-(Special. )--In
face of sharp decline In the stock ex-
change our market has advanced
slightly. The improvement Is due to
a demand In Liverpool from Lancashire
and the continent.
Spinners abroad as well as in this
country have been reducing their re-
serve supplies during the past four
months as shown by their smaller TAX
ings. American spinners have been
buying today in the south and here
to a moderate extent.
Buying orders from Liverpool gave
the strength to July as 1t was thought
they would not buy July at this time
of the month II they did not intend
to receive and ship the cotton to Eu-
rope
1t is evident there is no long interest
here for Wall street account as II
would have come upon the market to-
day If such had been the case. Liver
pool is due or points UP tomorrow.

DUNbARS TO CARRY
BOY T0NEW ORLEANS
The Youth Kidnapped From
OpelOusas May Be Iden-
titled Further

Jackson Miss, June .)-Gov-
ernor Brewer stated yesterday that he
was glad Mr. and Mrs. Dunbar had
agreed to take the child they are claim
ing as their own to New Orleans for
Jeptha Bilbo and others who knew the
child walters had with him a month
before the Dunbar child was stolen, but
made no comment
The governor had said, however, Sun
day afternoon soon after his arrival home
from Oxford, that DR.. Dunbar had ac-
cused him of bluffing when he announced
he would release Walters in Is days II
the Dunbars did not submit the child to
suggested, but at the end of the time
limit set DR.. Dunbar would discover mis-
mistake in the man.
Governor Brewer has said all along
that he believed the Dunbars had the
right child and he hoped 1t was, but
he owed duty to old man Walters as
well as the public, and would be abso-
lutely certain before surrendering Wal
ters to the Louisiana authorities, who
would hang him If the jury was convinced
the child held by the Dunbars was really
their child He has expressed himself
time and again to the effect that Wal
ters should be hanged if he did kidnap
the Dunbar child, and as believing Mrs.
Dunbar or any other mother would know
her own child, but maintained he would
not surrender Walters until thoroughly
convinced of the identity of the child.
The governor was asked IL he would
go to New Orleans in person, or send
representative to be present when the
Biibos examine the child, but said he
was perfectly willing to leave the mat
ter to New Orleans nen-John NJ. Parker
or Dan Lehon. and that whatever they
saw about It will be taken as final with
him. If the Blbos say this child is not
the one Walters left at their home, the
reouisition will be honored.
