With the beginning of the m.lon season the Birmingham produce mar. ket takes on new life.

 There were slight reductions yester- day in meat quotations, but flour and cotton prices are unchanged.
 The first melon shipments of the season are reported to have been re- ceived by the Bell Rogers Produce company. c. F. Bell of this con- cern said yesterday
 heneWeu interest IS now being man. ifested in the local produce market our car of cantaloupes has arrived in fine shape and the retailers and ses- taurant men are coming forward to make purchases. Next week I expect to receive cantaloupe shipments from Georgia. Then will come, in succession the Alabama. Tennessee and Colorado crops and this city will receive it's quota of melons from all parts of the country. I expect car of watermelons from Florida Saturday, and they will be immediately placed on the mark ct There have been several express ship ments of watermelons received in Bir- mingham latly, but as far as I know this is the first freight shipment.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 COTTON MARKET
Cotton Market Generally Quiet as Result of Split
 in Cabinet

New York, June 1.-The cotton market has been generally quiet during the week, and the most important price movement appeared to result from the split in [ , ce binet. which served temporarily to in crease nervousness over the political situ- ation. Good weather in the south pro- noted the selling, and prices broke about 30 points from the recent high level dur ing Wednesdays trading. The supply of contracts appeared to have been pretty well exhausted on this decline, however, and the market has since rallied on GOV ering. renewal of moderate bull support anl a calmer feeling over the negotiations with Germany The failure of improv- ing weather and crop accounts to bring out increased spot offerings helped to steady prices and the rally was also en- coLraged by the firmer stock market, the promise of a big wheat crop. steadiness at Liverpool, and the continued activity of domestic mills. The impression appears to be that. except in sections which have complained of excessive rainfall. such as Oklahoma and parts of north Texas and the Carolinas the condition of the crop has improved since the data for the June bureau were collected. and that the July condition Is likely to compare favoraby With the lo-year average. The chief sus- ta'ning factor. however. has been consid- cred the steady ruling of the southern spot markets since futures were selling at practical ythe llc level toward the end of last April, and some traders con- tend that remaining supplies in the in- terior must either be widely distributed or actually owned and held for the account of foreign or doTestic spinners. The cen sus figures on Monday are expected to show domestic mill consumption in line with a seasons total of about 600o. odO bales, including linters and estimates of the sea sons exports are being inerea ased to slightly over s0o0,ooo bales.

OPTIMISTIC REPORTS 0N THE COTTON CROP
Weather Conditions Favor able and Condition of
 Crops Improving

New Orleans, June 11.-After a small decline in the early trading today cotton firmed up on optimistic reports from Wall stieet. Trading was fairly active late in the session, and the close was within a point of the best of the day, a net gain Of to g points.
 In the early trading the market was in fluenced by poor cables and a private acreage estimate. showing a decrease of only to per cent. Offerings were fair ly well absorbed, and at the lowest the mere active months were ? to 3 points under yesterdays close.
 Weather accounts were extremely favor able from all parts of the cotton region. and bears claimed that the condition of the crop was improving. Crop claims, however did not stimulate selling of inn portance.
 A more cheerful view was taken of the pcliticaI situation, which ileiped mai kst do better late in the day. Through out the session the market had a steady urdertone and responded readily to buying orders

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June Special. )-Liv- erpool was a little lower than due this morning but our market was under the influence of the general feeling of satis- faction in reference to the note sent to Berlin so that prices at the opening were about on a parity with last nights close There was sufficient covering demand to absorb the usual arbitrase selling and prices advanced slowly. closing at about tho best of the day. While the feeling in the market re- mains quite bearsh and the most opti- mistic views are expressed as to the progress of the new crop, as is usual in the month of June, there remains nevertheless quiet demand at about the present level that absorbs such speculative sales as are made in con sequence of this feeling in regard to the new crop
