Conflicting Crop Reports and Disturbing Influence
 Financial Trouble Figure

New York, June 25.-Confiicting crop re- ports and the disturbing influence of the financial troubles reported in dry goods jobbing circles, caused more or less ner- vousness and irregularity in the cotton market during today's trading. An early advance on the continued hot weather in the south and relatively firm cables was followed by reactions and the close was steady. but from to points net lower. Two private crop reports were published. one of which indicated an increase of 2.S4 per cent in acreage. while the other re- ported decrease of 1.5 per cent in acre. age and estimated the condition of the crop at IS per cent.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 2 to points in sympathy with Liverpool and sold about to ? points net higher during the early trading.
 There appeared to be quite a good many overnight buying orders around the ring, but the advance met a good deal of real izing. and when the publication of the detailed weather reports failed to stimu- late general buying, prices turned easier under liquidation with active months sell ing about to 9 points net lower in the late trading. July led the decline for awhile leading spot interests were steady buyers of that position there was a good deal of scattering liquidation for over the notices expressed expected tomorrow.
 The closing figures were point or two up from the lowest on covering. Accord ing to official weather reports IT stations east of the river had maximum temper atures of 100 degrees or over during the past 24 hours.

FAIRLY GOOD DAY
 IN STOCK MARKET Trading On Large Scale. Overturn Nearly Half
 Million Shares

New York June 25.-Considerng the un- favorable conditions with which the ses- sion began--the Clafln receivership-to- days stock market gave a fairly good account of itself The troubles of this concern became known soon after the close of business Wednesday and the financial community viewed the prospect with considerable concern.
 Trading today was on an uncommonly large scale, the overturn approximating half million shares. Activity was all together at the expense of values, how ever, many prominent issues declining 1 to points, while some obscure stocks fell to points.
 United dry goods preferred decline to 65, loss of IT points on the day and a total decline of s11s in two days. The shares of other mercantile companies were sentimentally affected, but not to any marked extent.
 Opening prices generally were lower, but standard stocks held remarkably firm until the final hour. The late selling was attended by more unfavorable news, including the passage of the New York, ObbdiiO anu w coltTtl ldhNds NiNiNSiie, reduction of the Wells-Fargo Express dividend and a batch of unfavorable rail- way returns for May. The signing of the peace protocols by the Mexican media tors was utterly ignored.
 London was active in the initial trading, selling about 25,o00 hlares. Europe's big banks made favorable weekly exhibits.
 Bonds were heavy with 1 to 2 points losses in minor issues.
 Totals sales par value were $3,243, 900. Government bonds were unchanged on call

WHEAT LOWER THAN ANY TIME SINCE 1902
Market Later Rallies With Close 1-Sc to 1-4@3-Sc Net
 Advance

Chicago, June 25-Wheat rallied today, but not until after prices had fallen lower than at any time since 1902. Values closed firm at Mc to AdSsc net advance. Corn finished Ldssc to 7sd1c under last nights close. Oats off hc to ssc and provisions ranging from 716c to 1Oc decline to an advance of 20c.
 Most of the big wheat receiving houses here admitted that country acceptances on bids for wheat had become decidedly less. There also were advices that spring crop states had received so much mois- ture that future conditions would have to be about perfect to avoid rust. 1t was also said that new winter wheat was being extensively used as feed.
 Corn had no significant rally. Argentina offers at the seaboard, a cent lower than at any previous time this season, formed the main reason. Hedging sales on the new crop had much to do with weakness In oats.
 Provisions were unsettled by the con fiicting influence of lower prices for corn and higher prices for hogs.
 Future quotations were AS follows.

MEAT MARKET IS
 HOLDING UP WELL Heavy Demand for Veal, But Pork Is Off-PrOduce
 Trade Brisk

The wholesale meat business in Bir- mingham holds up well, notwithstand- ing the warm weather now prevailing and prices continue firm. Shipments of Kansas City and Texas beef arrive here daily and the Alabama cattlemen are beginning to furnish the local mar kets with high grade meat.
 Veal in large quantities is produced in the Birmingham district and con sumed here, and shipments from diff ferent parts of the state are also large. There is a heavy demand for veal in Birmingham, especially in the summer. The demand for pork, on the other hand. Is off by about 33 per cent during the hot weather; but the mar ket is not overstocked.
 The produce business continues brisk and the dealers are abundantly supplied

MARKET 2 POINTS UNDER WEDNESDAY Cotton, After Standing At 10 Points Advance, Falls
 Off In Afternoon

New Orleans. June 25.-The cotton mar ket today stood net advance of about 10 points in the morning session, but fell off in the afternoon, closing at the lowest of the day. 2 points under yes terdays final figures. In the morning the trade was inclined to buy on con tinued warm and dry weather over the belt. but in the afternoon selling in creased materially on fears of large July notices in the New York market tomor- row and bearish talk in connection with the Claflin failure.
 High temperatures were the real sus- taining influence of the day. The de- tailed weather reports figured out the average maximum temperature for the entire belt yesterday at 100 degrees while the returns today indicated fully as high an averaged. Bears contended that this was the best possible check for the spread of the weevil, but bulls saw nothing but crop disaster in it and for awhile bought freely on it.
