Attorney A. Grant Miller returned
tonight from Tonopah, where he at
tended the first days proceedings n
the recount Of votes on the election
OF justice of the peace there. He rep
resented Harry Dunseath, whose
election on the face of the returns
by some thirteen votes over P. J.
Gallagher, Democrat, is contested bv
Gallagher.
The first day was partly taken up
with objections by Miller to the
evidentary quality of the ballots and
returns. Miller objected that the
seal of the ballots in the first pre-
cnct was broken and that the reject
ed ballots were never sealed. The
voted ballots were in sack, sealed.
but he claimed the sack was torn nd
broken. He also claimed the ballots
were not IN the possession of the
proper custodian and that the keys
were subject to the danger of being
uupnCalcu.
The objections were overruled
and the counting began. About $50
ballots were counted before Miller
left Tonopah and he says Dunseath
lost one and Gallagher lost one.
Watchers for the senatorial canli-
dates tailed loss OF one vote for
each of the three candidates.
Miller was unable to remain IL

Attorneys Forman and Mcnamara,

MARKED WEAKNESS { IN LEADING ISSUES
Market, However, Moves in More Orderly Fashion
 Than Wednesday


 New York, July 1s.-Although new additional low records were established todays stock market moved in more orderly fashion than on the preceding day. Marked weakness again was shown by Baltimore and Ohio issues New Haven. Pennsylvania, Denver and Rio Grande. Chesapeake and Ohio, Pennsylvania and United States Steel. New Haven fell mere fraction un | der yesterdays low record to 4sss, but later in the day recovered and closed with smart net gain. Baltimore and Ohio's setback may have been due to another court victory by Union Pacific railroad permitting the distribution of its extra dividend" largely composed of Baltimore and Ohio shares.
 Weakness in Denver and Rio Grande bore more or less directly on that com pany in the affairs of the Western Pa cific railroad. Rock Island fell back again. Canadian Pacific recovered more of it's recent drain on official assur- . ances that no immediate financing is contemplated
 Dealings here for foreign account were confusing, London selling 10,00t shares of minor railroads and buying half that quantity of Canadian Pacific and Steel. Heaviness of Rock Island, Denver, New Haven and related issues was the feature of the bond list. Total sales, par value. were s1,695,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

CLOSING PRICES
 STRONG IN WHEAT
Black Rust Reported in N, DakOta-The Market Ad-
 vances 1 3-Sc Above

Chicago July 16.-Black rust was re- ported in North Dakota today and wheat scored a decided advance notwithstand- ing that at first there was lack of sup port Closing prices were strong. 1q1isq lilsq1ss cents above last night. Corn fin ished 1kdfss cents off to & cent up, oats with gain of AaSs cent to # cent and provisions varying from 1s cents decline to a rise of 5Q71s cent
 Fear of black rust gradually over shadowed everything else as a market influence on wheat. Reports indicated that the territory affected had widened rapidly. Southern and central Minnesota black rust reports were especially nu- merous. Bearish sentiment early in the session was due almost wholly to the fact that Liverpool quotations had failed to reflect yesterdays advance here.
 Except for new July options, corn un- derwent material sag.
 Tt was a generally accepted theory that the crop in the most important territory was in good condition. The advance in the new July delivery was the result of shorts taking fright at continued buy ing on the part of a large elevator con cern.
 Oats developed independent strength.
 Realizing sales by holders offset much of an upward tendency In the provision market. Scarcity of hog arrivals formed the chief prop for values.

COTTON SOFTENS
 AFTER NOON HOUR Market, Under Private Pre- dictiOns of Texas Rains 6 to 8 Points Under

New Orleans, July 16.-After a rise of to points in the morning ses- sion the cotton market today after the noon hour softened, apparently under private predictions of rain for Texas and> went to points under yester- days last figures. At no time, how ever was any real selling power shown. no more than was any real buying power displayed. The close was at a net loss for the day of to 5 points.
 Whatever steadiness the market had was due to continued drouth in Texas and Oklahoma and the official fore cast of more dry weather to come. Re- ports from other sections of the belt were against values. During the great CT part of the session 1t was a waft- ing market.
 Bears were made cautious by reports of plants blooming at the top in sew eral Texas counties, which was consid- cred unfayorable.

SHARP BREAK IN
 COTTON MARKET Rains in Texas Sends Staple , to s Points Below Close
 Wednesday

New York. July 1s-Mail advices indi- in Texas toward the end of last week than suggested by official weather re- ports and expectations of a bearish pri- vate condition report from a local au- thority at the opening tomorrow seemed to be largely responsible for quite a sharp break In the cotton market during today's trading. The close while steady, was 5 to 8 points below the final figures of yes- terday.
 The failure of the early weather map to show any rain or immediate prospect of rain in the southwest, and relatively steady cables, caused some buying during the early trading. After opening steady at an advance of l point on July, but generality 1 to points lower. the market sold some or points above yesterdays s closing figures
 There was a little Liverpool and south ern buying on this advance, as well as some scattered covering and local bull support.
 Taken altogether the demand was neither general nor aggressive, and the market turned weak after the publication of the weather report. This contained no prediction for rain west of the river. but the outlook was for partly cloudy conditions in east Texas and lower tenn peratures in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
 The official detailed weather reports for Texas and Oklahoma showed big tempera- trres and no precipitation. checking the decline momentarily, but weather condi- tions east of the river were considered very favorable, and the market weakened again on the reports In Texas papers in- cicating that there had been beneficial showers at a number of points In that state on July 10. Closing prices were a shade up from the lowest on covering.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, July 16-(Special.) )-Cables this morning were better than due. and the market early showed some strength.
 Prices, however, eased off again cn the same local selling, the feeling here having become quite pessimistic owing to favor able crop accounts from the Atlantic states. poor reports as to trade from the other side, and lack of any speculative support.
 It Is also anticipated that the mid-month condition figures of local authority will be issued tomorrow and the figures will be bearish.
 On the decline there was some improve ment in the demand from the trade. So far there has been no break in the drouth in the southwest. both Texas and Okla homa being clear today with continued high temperatures.
 While this is disregarded in the present temper of the trade. 1t presents situa- tion of increasing importance.
