BY CHARLES w. STORM.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Considerable
lrregularity was shown In the price
list at the opening OF the stock mar
ket to-day; The railroad situation in
the East, involving a possible strike,
caused some selling on account of re-
ports that the general committee, which
VIII meet in this city tomorrow, will
probably refuse to entertain Federal in
convention. On the other hand optimis-
tic news came from the Balkans.

The advances included Erie Il, Atch-
ison =, Reading Is and New York Cen
tral Is; New York Central turned
weak, declining Il.
The curb market was dull and easy
Americans in London were quiet above
New York parity.
In the late forenoon trading was
sluggish and price movements we're al
most at a standstill. Atchison yielded

were noted in a few other issues. Slight

Spot Houses Favor
Clarke'S Amendment

NEW YORK, July 11.-Advices from
kilograms and letters which are cur
rent, state that many, If not a ma
jority, Of the large spot cotton firms
and many mills favor the passage OF
the Clarke amendment, believing 1t will
enable them to buy their spot cotton
from the planter cheaper than al
present.
1t said that the open competition and
broadcast distribution of market in
formation and quotations kept the pro-
Queer Of cotton we'll posted under rul-
ing prices from hour to hour and day
10 day. This would not be the case
with the adoption Of the Clarke amend
ment, as 1t would leave the cotton mar
Nets in the hands Of simply the few
spot dealers.
With the adoption Of the Clarke
amendment there would be a fixed tax
Of SO cents bale for hedging contracts
When the local cotton buyer in interior
towns buys his cotton from the farmer
his bid price would be low enough ia
enable him to hedge his contract and
pay the 80 cents a bale tax, and the
farmer, therefore, would indirectly have
TO pay this tax. II the head and Off
Gals Of the Farmers Union could real
ize what this amendment means, and
would look at il from purely a business
standpoint. they would OPPOSE the
Clarke amendment and try 70 introduce
some bill that would peTpetuate the ex-
change and encourage competition that
makes a broad market for cotton. This
tax reduces the value OF cotton as a
collateral with the bank as protection
in all lines Of business has become a
necessity.

.9EARISH ADVICES
DEPRESS COTTON
Lower Temperatures and Weak.
ness of Summer Months Cause
General Selling.

NEW YORK, July 11-At the open
ing Of the cotton market the feeling was
generally bearish and prices were un.
changed TO points lower than Thurs
days final. The ring was inclined to
sell on favorable weather conditions,
rains being fairly well distributed over
the central and eastern belt.
The Government records show a tenn
perature average in Oklahoma of 9s de-
grees, which is 4 degrees lower. Tenn
perature average in Texas was 100 de-
grees, with five stations 100, four sta
lions reporting 102 degrees, nine stations
I04 and four stations 1O6 degrees.
This, together with favorable reports
on the condition Of the crop issued by
Cordill and Habersham King, resulted
in a general selling movement after the
call. Before the call. however, July and
December rallied 2 to points from the
vpening range.
The ring, Wall Street and brokers rep
resenting spot houses sold the market
heavily, resulting in prices losing to
IL points from last nights close. Both
July and August touched lie. Summer
positions were given no support This
was in part explained by the fact that
late months reflected favorable weather
and crop news.
During the late forenoon, prices re-
covered to Z points of the early de-
cline through more active buying,
which seemed to come mainly from a
few scattered shorts, The selling, how
ever, continued general.
At the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline Of to II
points from the final quotations of
Thursday.

NEW ORLEANS, July f1.-Hayward
& Clark: The weather map is favorable
and shows generally fair in Texas; no
rain: cloudy rest of the belt, with fine
States. Indications are for partly cloudy
and showery weather; also in eastern
part of Texas, and cool wave coming on
the belt, which should bring general
rains on Texas in about six days.
The New Orleans Times-D Democrat
says: Very hot weather covers the
western cotton belt and friends of the
staple are exploiting high temperatures
why the cotton market should continue
steady. Wednesday and Thursday the

of Oklahoma vas 1872 degrees Yester-

and trade alike refused to become eX-
cited over the hot temperature talk yes
terday.
After many days of waiting, Houston
at last reported the arrival Of the sea-
sons first new bale. 1t comes one
month later than the first new bale of
1911 and eight days later than the first
new bale of 1912 In this connection,
bulls contend that the lateness of the
first new bale is proof positive of the
an-round Iateness Of the 1913-1914 cotton
crop. Bears, however, contend that
while the early producing section of
Texas is late, the heavy producing sec
lions are not late at all. and that the
Texas movement will be under full
swing earlier this year than usual. In
the meanwhile, outside influences seem
to have combined Ia reduce contract
trading to a minimum. In the first
place the talent, confronted by the
threat Of prohibitive legislation, is in

STOCK GOSSIP

The New York Financial Bureau says
I'VE would buy the standard issues con-
servatively where good opportunities
are offered with the Intention to accept
moderate profits Trading movements
in the general list will be seen to-day
Information channels are expecting fur
Their improvement"
Look for a professional traders market
for the present. Would buy the active
issues on any fair reaction for moderate
profits. There is a good demand for
standard dividend paying stocks on all
declines for investment The odd lot
buying by people of moderate means
continues, and 1t looks as If speculate
holdings are gradually being taken over
by the investors throughout the coIn-
try.-Potter.
Estimates of the quantity Of Canadian
Pacific stock liquidated by European
sellers Wednesday ran as high as 90
600 shares. Canadian Pacific is about
the highest priced stock listed on the
market and securities of such prices are
usually the first ones sold if money is
badly needed.
The weakness in Canadian Pacific
stock during the past few days was said
to be the result of the rumor that $780,.
900 900 new stock was to be issued This,
however, was officially denied.
Although the dullness In the market
continues, there are few stocks for
sale at the present level. Speculative
holdings have decreased and investment
holdings have increased considera bly,
within the last thirty days This Is
usually a favorable sign, as in the past
under these conGi tions prices have ad
vanced whsn activity begins.-Potter.

Grain Notes

The Chicago Inter Ocean says: Wheat
traders regarded the rally yesterday as
| only natural following a four days de-
cline. Bears are looking for lower prices
with a continuation of the liberal hedg-
ing sales. One cash handler looks for
! free movement, believing tight money
will force the grain to terminals and ex-
port business will be the best possible
| thing for the country.
Corn traders were mixed last night,
most Of them being bearish. Many OF
the longs have unlOaded The bulls fig
ure that the market is heavily oversold
and had reports from Kansas that the
crop has been damaged by the recent
high temperatures.
There are many bears in oats who be-
lieve that the rally yesterday was only
temporary. Cutting OF early oats has
commenced in Southern Illinois and
yields are said to be light Chief argu-
ment of bears is that stocks of old oats
are too large for big bull movement at
present.
Grand Forks, n. Oak, wires: Rain
fell from four to SIX hours yesterday
and last night on the parched fields
| throughout almost the entire northern
part Of North Dakota. The downpour
began III the Minot District about noon
and struck Red River Valley about
| o'clock More than an inch felt in places
soil without moisture and caused heavy
damage to crops. With the heavy rain,
however. the crop is in condition to
weather the remainder Of the season
without serious difficulty"
Bartlett, Frazier & Co: "Wheat-The
weather map shows general rains over
| the entire spring wheat country, parts
| of Iowa and Nebraska. The country
continues to offer wheat to arrive In
| liberal quantities and this factor creates
good deal Of local bearishness.
"Corn-With the exception Of rain in
Nebraska and Iowa there was no rain
| in the corn belt, with fairly high tenn
! peratures again in the southwest Judg-
| ing from the strength shown late yes
terday, indications point to considerable
| liquidation having taken place and
| fair short interest created. We look

ALL GRAIN PRICES
EASIER At CLOSE
Losses Of More Than Cent Made
by Wheat, Corn and Oats,
Provisions Of.

CHICAGO, July 11.-Lower prices
were seen in all the grain pits at the
close to-day. These losses were Ia
rs for wheat. 1Q15s for corn and 1a1A
for oats. The provision market was
lower in sympathy with the break in
grain. The bids sent out on wheat to
the country last night were lower than
on several previous days and the trans
actions were smaller in consequence.
On the other hand. the business in cash
wheat on export and shipping account
was comparatively small, only 10000
bushels changing hands at Chicago
Cash corn sales were $50. 900 bushels
and oats $4,000 bushels Vessel room
was chartered for 400 bushels corn to
go to Buffalo. Clearances of bread
stuffs from the seaboard for the week
were 5l76,000 bushels, compared with
2,495,O 900 bushels a year ago. Clearances
of corn were only 80, 900 bushels, against
$4,000 bushels last year.

Anderson.
J. B. Turner Of Memphis, reports the
following condition of the cotton crop
as of July 8, by states: North Carolina,
q; South Carolina, "A; Georgia, IS; Ala
bama, 81; Mississippi. 81; Tennessee, 81;
Arkansas, IS; Louisiana, 81; Oklahoma,
So; Texas, 81.
Where declines are shown from the
condition Of two weeks ago, the loss
seems due to an imperfect distribution
Of the moisture supply. In Texas boil
weevils are more evident than at this
date last year. East Of a line down from
Runge to Tyler, weevils are sufficiently
numerous to attract notice, but as yet
have done little damage. West of that
line there are very few or none. II is
clear, therefore, that the general pro-
ducing area Of the state is practically
iree from the pest. B. Turner.

According to quoted views Of members
of the Georgia Legislature, the crop out
look for Georgia, which ranks next to
Texas, is the largest producer of cotton
in the belt. They say that conditions
are much better than the previous sea-
son, and If the present outlook is full
filed the yield will rival the record crop
