STOCKS NARROW 4 AND IRREGULAR Special Influences Keep the Market Back Railroad
 Executives Confident

New York, July 1.-Speciai influences again were effective today in keeping the stock market within a narrow and irregu- lar groove-foreign and domestic news was as usual a mixture of favorable and unfavorable happenings. Advices con cerning corn were highly encouraging and the government report showed the condition of cotton is vastly better than that reported month ago, but some what under last year.
 Several prominent railroad executives were quoted as expressing confidence in their future, but their utterances were out of tune with May earnings reported by several of the larger roads. New York Central's system reported a net decrease of $2,367,0o0, the Pennsylvania lines lost income fell off over s6OO,0OO. New York Central was weakest of the stocks in It's class and New Haven went to within a fraction of it's low record.
 E The Ulster situation contributed to the heavy undertone here. Another decline in exchange, though followed by speedy recovery, suggested revival of gold ex- ports. Further large cash transfers to the Pacific coast were made.
 Railroad bonds were irregular, with sharp variations in Rock Island and re- lated issues. Frisco refunding As and Chicago and Eastern Illinois refunding As. on which interest was defaulted, ad- vanced and Az points respectively. Mex ican government As declined 2& points Total bond sales par value amounted to $1,900O00.
 United States government bonds were unchapr ed on call.

Carrying the Rabv

from the New York Sun.
 Even though parental love may he strong within him, the average man has an aversion to carrying a baby in public. IL IS not because the task is too lborious. but 1t seems that the ordinary man was not Intended to do this duty
 Mans aversion to shouldering a baby in public can probably be traced to his shy- ness. He disliSes to enter a public place or conveyance with a baby because he Is aware that the eyes of those present will be turned in the baby's direction. and when they have feasted on the baby to their satisfaction they will turn to him. If the baby is pretty and the man fails to measure up othe same standard the gossips present set their tongues to wag= ging and the man Is criticised until he becomes embarrassed and grows red.
 His every act is scanned and com mented on. He does not know how to carry the baby Gan that be that baby's fat1er?" Say, if he looked any, thing like that baby when he was young he must have lost all his good looks"
 Just as he Is in the midst of his em- barrassment the baby reaches for his tic and yanlSs it out from beneath his Perhaps the baby will feel the n whislkers rdo some little act like which would discourage any man force him to raise his right hand swear, Never againv'

Obeyed Orders

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. A follower of the races confessed to ua the other day that it had formerly been his ambition to own a winner. "I bought a thoroughbred for a ridic- ulous sum- he said. land then looked around for a jockey. The boy finally engaged was wonder. He hadn't had much experience in the saddle, but he was physically and mentally all that any body could wish. He was skinny, long legged, hard-muscled featherweight He weighed about 85 pounds, but every pound was sinew. And he was a garfe chicken.
 Well, the horse proved to be a flivver. She same in a bad last and lost a pot of money. l took out my temper and exhib- ited 1t to the little jock when the race was over."
 T coulda won!" was his stolid answer to my ravings
 ''You could have won? Then why didn't your" I yelled.

HEAVY GENERAL
 SELLING IN COTTON
Government Crop Report More FavOrable-Oct0ber
 Contracts Are Lower

New York, July 1.-The government's crop report estimating the acreage at 1S per cent less than last year and placing the condition of the plant at 79.6 per cent, today proved more favorable than had been expected and was followed by heavy general selling which caused Il sharp break in prices. October contracts broke about 20 points under the clos ing price of yesterday. Foreign and local spot houses were credited with buying freely at the decline and there were moderate rallies in the late trading. with the market closing steady at a net loss of to 13 points.
 The government report on acreage was just about as anticipated, but the condi- ton was fully a point better than looked for, and evidently disappointed recent buyers, while it may also have encour- aged bear pressure. as it indicated an improvement of over 5 per cent during the past month, or the greatest on rec ord for the past 10 years. Buyers on the decline, however, pointed out that the condition was still below the 10-year average.
 trading was comparatively quiet before the report was published The opening was steady at an advance of points to a decrease of l point. and after some irregularity, due to prospects for cooler weather in the south, prices sold about Il to IT points net higher on the old crop and from 8 to points net higher on new crop positions. This advance seemed to be chiefly attributed to the final covering of shorts in advance of the official crop report and prices broke very rapidly after the publication of tho Washington figures. July. which had advanced to 12.95c early, sold off to 12 COG within half an hour, but subsequently rallied P points from the lowest.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. July 1-(SpeciaL)-Th im- provement in the condition of the crop during June was generally known though scarcely anyone expected so high condition as 79.6. so the effect was to cause decline of some 20 points with a recovery of to points at the close.
 We find the trade looking at both sides of the report. One that the condition for the past two months taken together is low indicating if any indication can be taken from these two reports smaller crop than last season. The other that the great improvement on the largest acreage ever reported will induce Euro pean spinners to wait and that they and the American spinners are likely to re- main out of the market.
 We believe the trade are long adopting the first view though rather shaken at the report and looking closely ht the weaeAer for further indications of the course of prices What speculation ex- ists is on the long side.

Embargo Against Machines Taken Off in Mesa Verde
 National Park

In deciding to allow the use of auto.
 mobiles on the new government road
 from Mancos in the Montezuma val ley to the Mesa Verde national park Secretary Lane has opened to convenient tourist travel one of the most attractive and spectacular resorts of the kind in the United States, says a Denver special to the New York Sun.
 The restoration of Spruce Tree house the Cliff palace and Balcony house has been accomplished with great skill and equal art by the men of the Smithsonian institution. and visitors who go to visit these historical monuments of a curious past usually find them SC interesting that instead or returning the same day they they remain on three or four
 Many inquiries regarding tn progress or the new wagon road to Mesa Verde have been received by Passenger Agent Frank A. Wadleigh of the Denver and Rio Grande In recent months, showing the general interest that has been taken in the opening of the park to an easier method of travel. Enos A, Mills and others who are interested in the develor- ment of Colorado's tourist attractions peutioned Secretary Lane to open inc road to automobiles. and the favorable action of the secretary has been received with general satisfaction.
 It is believed that with an automobile service regularly in operation from Man cos 10 the cliff ruins the travel to Mesa verde national park will be increased many fold and that thousands instead of a few hundreds of tourist will visit this great attraction every year.
 The government has been several years In building the new automobile highway V to the park. The work has been delayed owing to lack of funds, but Superinten- oen, ihomas Rickner has pushed the last of the work in order to get the road com pleted for travel this year. Automobile traffic Is prohibited in many of the gov ernments parks. including the Yellow stone.
