spite a favorable Liverpool. the cotton
market to-day opened slightly lower on
private reports OF rains in North Texas
and Oklahoma During the early trad
ing, October contracts sold as low as
1124 but a recovery Of several points
took place before the close, which was
steady, with prices practically I'M

week end statistics were construed as
bullish. Spinners taldngs, 2O6,O00 bales
were larger than expected. Gables re-
Gently received from Russia and other
parts OF the Continent state that spin
ners are bare OF stocks and consequent
ly there have been larger takings than
trade had figured on. The large spot
sales recorded in Liverpool within the
character OF the trade demand. The
spot situation shows no signs Of weak
ness. Exporters are paying the high
est premium OF the season for fully
good middling. There has also been a
better demand for low uncomfortable
grades.

Canadian Pacific Is
Off on Berlin Sales

NEW YORK. June Prices fuc-
tuated throughout the short session Of
the stock market to-day and the close
was fractiOnally lower. Canadian Pa
ciflc was weak on resumption Of Ber-
lin selling and closed at a loss Of IL
points. American Can also was under
pressure, the common closing at a loss
of 2as and the preferred at a loss Of 2
points. Conspicuous among the issues
that closed higher was Chesapeake and
Ohio, which recovered the dividend that
came off the quotation yesterday.
The Hartman issues closed a point
lower, the Hill stocks were fractionally
lower, Reading a lower and Lehigh VAL
ley ia lower. Amalgamated closed a
lower and Smelter was off a. Atchi-
son and New Haven were unchanged.
Baltimore and Central = lower and

in bank clearances. The total exchanges

General Tone Improves.
Cotton Trade EvenS
Up Over Weekend
BY EDWARD Low RANLETT.

NEW YORK, June small orders
sufficed TO influence unduly the cotton
market to-day Price changes were not
large. with evidence of more or less
evening-up over the weekend. Near
months opened a shade higher. with
distant deliveries slightly lower, and In
the ensuing trade offerings tended 10
increase on the bulges. The close was
quiet at small net changes.
Favorable weather conditions encour-
aged the bears and crop advices are ia
vOrable as a rule As yet. however, the
South has not commenced to hedge in
an active way, and with spinners taxi
ing contracts from the market on the
basis OF 1c for the fall months, there Is
not much progress being made in low
ering quotations,
The market has shown some degree
Of strength during the week Part of
this was due to the fact that the crop
was regarded as being on the defensive,
needing rain and moderately high tenn
perature. There was also some crowd .
ing Of the short interest In July. and
perhaps August The stock IN New
York is very small and can not be
replenished from the South at current
differences without loss 10 the seller.
Statistics tho world over are slowly
favoring the bull position.
In the cotton goods division Of the
dry goods market II Is notable that
strength prevails, mills appearing to
have orders well booked ahead, and
there has been no accumulation.

Public Yet Refuses
To Plunge in Wheat
Bv JosEpH p pRITcHABp.

CHICAGO. June THE wheat
market has been without the support
Of the public on the bull side, al
though there has been enough unfa-
vorable crop news from Kansas TO
have driven every farmer and elevator
owner in the State into the Chicago
pit on the buying side. These condi-
tons have given the big short in this
market a hold on the situation, and
he has made the most of 1t. The big
shorts have thrown overheard an
enormous quantity OF the grain and
stand as buyers only on the sharp
price losses, when handsome profits
are available.
Corn and oats have held up well
during the week just closed, with the
late planting of the former and the
unfavorable crop conditions surround
ing the latter as the priAcipal help TO
the owners Of those grains. There is
a big open interest In both these &C.
reals, with the bulls wellknown men
of the East who have made handsome
profits.

certain part of the business Of this
country.
Business in spots has been small,
yet the movement out Of sight has not
been indicative Of spinners being
averse to paying ruling prices. The
domestic spinners still hold off, bur
foreigners are taking enough to keep
the visible supply going down. The
stock in New York has been further
reduced, and one of the latest re-
ports Is that more of It will soon be
shipped abroad, thus leaving July
shorts with meager protection. Move
ment in the belt is small, but exports
are running ahead Of a year ago at
this time, which means that takings

Conditions Steadily Better.
That the market has not weakened

news from the fields has not been the
sole influence. There has been nc

Of high temperatures, but IN part
those conditions have been relieved

views OF Professor Irving Fisher, Of
the chair Of political economy at Yale.
Professor Fisher, says the late re-
ports to-day, is the mysterious in1u-
ence that has been at work at the
White House in the shaping Of the
financial measure for which the ooun-
try 30 earnestly waits.
There is only one known tact re-
garding the currency upon which
there is any agreement
Present System Wrong.
The present system is wrong.
Everybody from Nelson w. Aldrtch
TO William ]. Bryan, not forgetting
to stop at intermediate mental sta
lions, starts with that hypothesis. So.
as everybody has an idea concerning
what ought to be done to change the
system, the personality OF the man
who is reported to have so much
weight with the President Is extreme
ly interesting.
The most notable money view OF
the professor In recent years Is that
in which he asks the country TO
Make the purchasing power OF the
dollar stable in terms OF commOdi-
ties"
or. in other words, TO make gold
stand hitched 20 tho other products
Of the world 80 that the value OF all
tho products, and not tho value OF
gold alone, will be made the standard.
In furtheranoe OF this idea, he ad-
vocated that when a man comes TO

Treasury like any other tar

expert counsel II he wishes to minim-
lie the risk Of losing his case, and
probably money as well, so when an
individual enters the realm of specu-
lative investment he should have ac-
cess 10 the keenest and shrewdest
professional advisers.
But the investor who had been
trained TO understand the simple ele-
ments Of investments knows by in
stinct the difference between invest
ment and speculation. The rudimen-
tary principles of investment may
easily be studied sufficiently for prac-
teal purposes by any individual, even
without previous experience by read
ing the newspaper columns devoted
to bonds and high grade shares.
An investor need not be told that
any security which yields a return
OF from per cent to 10 per cent at
the price at which II Is being sold
must carry a certain amount Of spec
ulative risk. for he will have learned
that the demand for sound invest
ment is such that no public invest
ment goes a-begging for long, II it
yields 6 per cent, even in these times
Bearing this in mind. very little
thought will bring him TO the con-
clusion that the shares OF a mining
company depending for its profits
upon the continuation OF an ore lode,
or of an oil company depending for
its revenue upon touching shale
ground, are gamble pure and sim
pie.
Banks Policy Sound.
The chairman OF the board of d.
rectors OF a great banking society,
addressing his colleagues the other
day, explained:
a.
the policy Of your board to spread its
investments over as large an area as
possible, since II considered that in
this way the greatest protection is
obtained against temporary market
depreciation. A careful investigation
was made during the year into the re-
suits of this policy by a special
finance committee Of your board. It
was found that by far the greatest
depreciation had occurred amongst
high-grade securities, but that the
policy adopted in recent years Of in
vesting funds over as large an area
as possible had tended on the average
toward stability of values. with a
consequent result Of minimizing de-
probation over the whole funds. In
fact. with regard to investments
made during recent years. this policy
has been attended with the happiest
results and the depreciation thereon
is remarkably small"
What such an institution as the
Philadelphia Savings Fund Society
with its $4,000, 600 OF deposits
has done for generations in a large
way, the individual may do In a small
way: that IS, spread his money over
as wide a range of approved securi-
ties as possible. Specifically. IL you
have $4,000 buy ten $500 bonds of as
many corporations, or States, or. mu-
inequalities.
These suggestions are coincident
with the cheapness Of the bond mar
ket and numerous letters Of inquiry
as to the time and conditions Of in
veStment.

THE END.
LANDLORD ENJOYS THE JOKE
Friend of Tenants in French Capital
Finds Himself in Something of
Dilemma.

For once that French public bene-
factor known as Cochou, who cham
pions poor families who cannot find
lodgings, has reckoned without his
host. Whenever a tenant has trouble
with his landlord and desires to put
him to inconvenience he sends for
Cochon. The latter is always ready
to get even with landlords, and eager
ly responds to in the invitations he
receives.
A student at the Ecole des Arts and
Manufactures was at loggerheads with
his landlord and obtained the break
ing of his lease for a fiat in the
Boulevard de Strasburg Before clear
ing out he thought he would like lit
tie fun at the landlords expense.
A message was sent to the indis-
pensable Cochon the erstWhile sec
rotary Of the Tenants league and the
founder OF a similar institution. Cochon
sent the student three families, each
consisting of four children. The fami-
lies did not enjoy their new quarters
long, for the landlord obtained an or
der for their immediate expulsion.
The evicted families now look to
Cochon to find new quarters for them.
Cochon does not know where he can
find them His responsibility is
heavy one For once the table have
been turned upon him.
