FOREIGN INFLUENCE ,, AFE:'ECTSEXCHANGE
Market Governed by Rus- sian. Defeat and English
 Condition

New Ynuk. June 23-Foreign affairs again took precedence over the domestic situation today, the market being gov erned, so. far as it manifested any definite tendencyt the Russian defeat in Galieia and further selling Of American securities in Londpn. While these sales in them selves were not extensive, they were suf- fcently large to effect decline in Can adian Pacific to 147s4. the lowest since 1908. Conditions abroad were further compli- cated by renewed weakness here in French and German exchcange Accord ing to reports, a considerable part of to- days sales for London was caused by the desire of British investors to partci- pate in the new war loan.
 Readings strength and activity, to- gether with advices in other coal shares, furnished one of the few features of the day. War specfalties were more variable than usual, declines and advances being fairly divided. Coppers were lower.
 The effect of additional foreign offer ings was apparent in the irregular mar ket for bonds, particularly the interna- tional group. Among the minor inactive issues, some sharp gains were made. Total sales. par value aggregated szaio'- 900.
 United States bonds unchanged on call

PRICE CHANGES
 ON COTTON SMALL The Market Closes at Net Gain With Last Prices
 the Best

New Orleans. June 23-Cotton only made small price changes today, closing at a net gain of to points. Last prices were within point of the best. At one time in the early trading the market stood point of the best. At one time in the at net decline of to points, but bears seemed to prefer to even up old business rather than to take on new, and values were fairly well sustained thereafter
 The weekly weather reports were more favorable than expected, but their influ- ence was offset by the uncertainty over the effect of yesterdays storm in She northern portions of the belt, Official re- ports from a large part of the belt were lacking. but private claims were that much crop damage had been done Bears appeared to fear that this might have some effect on the pending report on condition.
 Late in the session shorts increased their demand for covers, and the market took on better tone than it had shown at any previous part of the session The better feeling induced moderate buying for lofg account on the idea that a reaction from the downward trend of the market was probable.

TIPPING CASES"

Jackson Miss, June 23-(Special )--what is known as the tipping case" has been argued and submitted to the supreme court and. being of statewide interest. will. probably be decided before the court takes recess for the summer. The style of this case is state vs. A. Angelo, and comes up from Leflore county. Angelo is the proprietor or manager of a cafe and was indicted on the charge of falling to post the anti-tippink law in two conspicu- ous places in the establishment over which he presides. He made . successful do- fense in the Leflore county court, and the state appealed to tho supreme court. Tho law under which Angelo Is being proso- cuted reads that '"rhe hotel, reStaurant, cafe. dining car. railroad or sleeping CT company" failing to post shall be sub Ject to fine not to exceed $1O0. and 0oGn not provide, in this instance, according to the language of the indictment. that "tho manager, officer or agent in charGSrs shall be subject to such fine. The trin1 court held that the indictment was baA. In that it did not mention tho nnanagor. agent. etc. and found for the dofondant.
 The case was argued orally by 0o6foo IT. Etheridge. assistant attorney genouHl and briefs were submitted by Whittinetoo 6 Osborne of Greenwaod-

Uubhard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. June 2s The market today showed the same characteristics as yes- terday Everybody was very bearlsh, ex- pressing the views as to the ability to market the growing crop next September and october which we have laid before vou. and yet a few buying orders In the closing hour advanced prices some points over yesterdays final level. A careful study of the exports as issued by the agrl- cultural department shows that while the exports to Germany has fallen off some 2200 eco bales. the exports of cotton to the neutral nations of Europe are some 900, ,Ooo bales in excess of the year be- fore. It Is evident the visible supply must be very large under present conditions, but we think the market will be governed by the condition of the growing crop, which has most of its troubles before It.

LOCAL, STOCK SITUATION
 WITHOUT CHANGE
Fifteen Dollar Advance of Corey Land Demand for American Cities Common-Banks Will
 Declare Dividends On July

The local stock situation continues prae- tieally unchanged. The largest advance in quotations lately was on the stock of the Corey Land company. s6s per share now being bid for the stock instead of former quotation of $50. Owners, however are now holding this stock at sse instead of at former valuation of s0.
 An increased demand for American Cities railways common has also been shown and s1o Is now being bid for that stock, although decrease of sl Der share has been noted in the valuation of the preferred stock of this company. Thirty nine dollars is now being bid on this stock, and it is being held at s4l.
 Although the market here is rather in- active the general feeling Of confidence in financial circles is growing in strength, and there is little evidence of any desire upon the part of owners to dispose or holdings at prevailing prices Prices now being quoted are said aiso to nresent a fair valuation under present financial conditions.
 There has. in fact been little deprecia- 1 ton in stocks of companies operating In the Birmingham district since the begin ming of the war; as capitalists are ois- t.osed not to part with industrial proper ties here.

COTTON RALLIES
 AND CLOSES F|RM
Offerings Comparatively Light and Prices Are
 Irregular

New York June 9s.-whiie a genera1lv hearish view appeared to be taken of weather and crop news in the cotton mar kets here today, offerings were conrpara- lively light and after some irregnlarity prices rallied quite sharply with the close firm at net advance of to points.
 Cables were about as expected and the local market opened steady at a decline of point to an advance of points, but soon eased off under a renewal of scatter ing July liquidation and some foreign sell ing of the later deliveries Otherwise, however. there appeared to be very little pressure against prices, and irmer turn in the Liverpool market was followed by a rally here which carried prices back to about last nights closing figures during lhe middle of the morning. Reports of a heavy wind storm in the Mississippi delta may possibly have promoted some of the buying on this bulge. but generally speak ing weather conditions were considered favorable. and following the publication of the weekly report of the weather bu- reau indicating that the crop had made good progress on the average, prices again eased off under scattering liquida- tion and local selling. This decline was checked at a net loss of about to points by covering and the market later rallied on spot house buying and mod crate demand through houses with New Orleans connections, which was supposed to be on the differences. Possibly the failure of the bearish weekly report to create more selling pressure promoted the covering of recent sellers on the advance and closing prices were the best of the day Port receipts. 5o70 United States port stocks. sSS.3e5; exports Ss64, making s,071, ,6a9 so far this season.
