CROP CONDITIONS
 CONTINUE GOOD Money Remains Easy With Appreciable Improvement
 in Steel Industry

New York July 6.-Aside from some artificial activity at higher prices in the group of pooled specialties, today's stock market sagged in traditional mid summer fashion. The better feeling fos- tered last week by developments at Wash ngron seemed 70 nave been dissipated. Investment as well as speculative circles. the long delayed freight rate decision was the most influential factor. Crop con ditions continue excellent and money re- mains easy. Many observers think the country in shape for good business and forward strides are predicted at the first favorable opportunity.
 The steel authorities state their indus try shows appreciable improvement and the monthly statement later in the week of the United States Steel corporation is expected to show a moderate increase in orders. The June statement Wednes- day, of the Copper Producers is the sub ject of considerable speculation, but the state of the metal trade is plainly bet ter than it was a fortnight ago.
 Reconvening of Congress and the ex- pected trust legislation failed to excite the slightest attention. Some apprehen- sion was felt over the Mexican situation, but confidence was expressed that a way would be found out of the tangle.
 London sold our shares.
 Continental markets were without espe- cial feature.

SLIGHT REACTION
 ON MORRIS AVENUE Let-Up Follows Rush of Last Week-YOung Chick
 ems Now Plentiful

Produce men on Morris avenue re- port slight reaction in trade activ- ity as compared with last weeks rush. This Is regarded however, as a normal condition generally following In the wake of heavy holiday trade in this line. The demand for lemons has now begun to slacken and prices on this fruit have been slightly reduced. The produce and fruit merchants are car rying light stocks, and the market is not supplied in excess of demand. A heavy demand is anticipated toward the end of the week when business in this line will doubtless be resumed with re newed vigor.
 Young chickeps are now plentiful on Morris avenue and the demand is good The meat trade continues steady and quotations remain unchanged with the exception of salt meat, which is slight iy advanced.

PART OF LAST WEEKS
 LOSSES RECOVERED.
Crop and Weather News More Encouraging-The
 Close Was Higher

New York, July 6.-The cotton market recovered several points of last week 8 losses during today's trading. Crop and weather news seemed more encouraging than otherwise. but the smaller amount or cot on for sale sn.s sested that the long interest had been pretty well liquidated during the heavy selling, which followed last weeks government report and prices advanced on covering of shorts or buying for a reaction. The close was steady and from to Is points net higher.
 The market opened steady at nn- changed prices to a decline of points under scattered selling, which seemed to be inspired by favorable view of weather conditions over the holiday. LAv- errool. however, was better than due and the market here soon rallied. There ap- peGred to be an impression in some quar- ters that the contracts liquidated last week had been absorped by investment or trade buyers. prices at one time dur ing the early afternoon were from to r points net higher. The detailed weather reports indicating good rains in the east ern belt seemed to relieve apprehensions of drought damage in that section but failed to inspire any selling of conse- quence.
 Closing prices showed reactions of only or points from the best. There was some talk of unfavorably dry and warm weather in the southwest and the chief app ehension over the crop outlook ap- pears to be with reference to conditions west of the river.

TRADE COMMISSION
 BILL LAID ASIDE

r Washington, July 6.-The administra- tion trade commission bill heading the antitrust programme, was laid aside temporarily In the Sc nate today for de- bate on the river and harbor appropria- tion bill No senator was ready to dis cuss the trade commission measure, but tomorrow Senator Reed will speak, at- te cking the constitutionality of the pro- hibition against unfair competition
 Consideration of the river and harbor bill developed some of the strong oppo- sition which has been slumbering in the Senate. Throughout the day Senator Burton continued to attack the measure in a detailed analysis of the various projects appropriated for. Senators Ken ycn, Borah and Norris were ready to aid him in preventing an early vote on the measure. Frequent points of no quo- dunn brought bare majority of the Senate to the floor.
 It was made plain that obstructive tac- tics would be resortsd to to defeat the bill.

RUST INN. DAKOTA
 AND MINNESOTA
Presence of Plague Turns Wheat Over to the Bulls.
 Slight Advance

Chicago. July 6.-Unquestionable dis covery of black rust in South Dakota and reports of the presence of the plague in North Dakota and Minnesota,
 turned the wheat market today over
 to the bulls. There was a firm close at
 A@asc to Sc net advance. Corn sui
 fered a net loss of ss @ aa ac, oats finished
 Hc off to 16th up. and provisions
 danging from 2h 5c down to rise
 of 76c.
 Huge receipts of new winter wheat, more than 600 carloads, here caused prices to sag heavily in the early part
 of the session, especially for the June option. Dispatches saying that the
 largest yield ever known In Neoraska is now assured had further bearish effect. Damage reports from Russia, however, had a demand base upon tho black rust news made the subsequent upward sweep of market irresistible Corn was under pressure from naul- dating sales by holders. Crop reports were generally favorable, and the cash demand poor notably so In the south west where abundant rain was falling. Hedging sales of oats were offset by black rust reports from Iowa and south Dakota.

NET GAIN OF Il ID 13 IN COTTON Market Improves on Buying for Long Account-First
 Bale Reported

New Orleans. July 6.-Cotton did bet ter today on buying for long account stimulated by private bureau reports or crop damage in the western belt through high temperatures and lack of moisture At the opening the market was de pressed a couple of points, but little later there was a quick spurt and from then on the tons was good. At the high est trading months were 15 to Is points over last weeks final figures. The close was net gain of Ii to 13 points.
 The first bale of the new crop reported in Texas had no adverse influence on prices, in spite of the fact that 1t was week earlier than last seasons first bale. Bulls claimed 1t was due to prema' ture opening of bolls caused by excessive heat and drouth. Failure of prominent cotton firm in London was news fea- 'ture of interest but it did not influence trading one way or the other.
