COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The market
for coffee futures was very quiet to-
day and after opening at q decline of
to 5 points prices steadied on a little
support from local bulls and scattered
covering. The opening decline carried
prices into new low ground for the
movement. with September selling at
$50 and December at s.63, or about 81
to 80 points under recent high levels.
The decline in the Rio market and in
creasing primary receipts may have
been factor, but the selling was not
active enough to suggest fresh sentt-
ment and sales for the day were only
$500. The close was net 1 point low

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK,

NEW YORK. June 3.-The cotton mar
ket was quiet today. with prices steader
on covering for over the week end. July
contracts sold up from IL 50 to 1852 and
closed at 1851, with the general list
closing steady at a net advance of to
10 points.
Liverpool was relatively easy and the
local market opened at a decline of 2
points to an advance of points After
the very heavy and general selling of the
past few days, however. there was little
1urthef incubation in evidence. and prices
soon steadied. A more bullish view of
exports for the balance of the season
seemed to be inspired by Liverpool ad-
vices. claiming that the market there
would require from $4,000 to $4,000 bales
per week in order to prevent advances
and may have brought in g. little scattered
buying Generally speaking. however, the
advance to 1916 for October and 1891
for December was attributed to cover
ing. Closing prices were within a point
or two Of the best and trading was very
quiet after the first few minutes. Bust
ness may have been restricted to some
extent by the holiday in New Orleans. as
well as by ordinary Weekend considera-
tons. but people around the ring said
that the outstanding interest had been con-
siderably reduced during the week. and
that traders were probably waiting for
fresh developments The weather map
Showed continued favorable conditions
over the entire south and there was fur
ther talk OF comparatively high condi-
ton report from the government at the
beginning of next month. The moderate
increase in the amount of cotton on ship
board awaiting clearance and the some
what larger port receipts, well as the
small Liverpool stock encouraged the
more bullish view of the export move
ment
Reports from Fall River said that
manufacturers were beginning to feel the
scarcity of labor. but that there has been
a lull in fresh demand and that mills are
consequently able to keep well up with
their old orders.

Nav Renew British Loan.

The committee of New York bank
ers which had charge of arrangements
for the six months s50,00o,O0o loan
made to a syndicate of eight London
banks has taken preliminary steps for
the renewal of the credit upon matur-
fty on June 20. Frank A. Vanderlip.
president of the National City Bank.
chairman Of the American group, has
indicated to Lord Cunliffe, governor of
the Bank of England and chairman of
the British bankers committee, that
the New York institutions would be
willing to renew the loan on the same
terms If agreeable to the borrowers.
The establishment OF the Sb0.000.000
credit followed close after the COM
pletion of arrangements for the $780,
0O0. 900 Anglo French joint government
loan. 1t was strictly banking trans
action and the British government was
no party to 1t. The loan was secured
by the deposit of f11.000.0o0 of British
government Az per cent bonds, de-
posted with the Bank of England. The
interest rate charged the London banks
was Az per cent per annum. Partici-
patton certificates were issued by the
American committee and 1t was re-
ported that about 200 institutions
throughout the country had purchased
them. The s50.000,000 was placed on
deposit with the National City Bank.
the Guaranty Trust Company and the
Bankers Trust Company.
According to bankers who are in
position to know, not dollar Of the
$50. OOO. 900 has been expended. The IN
used credit, therefore. has cost the Lon
don banks 2k per cent per annum. or
1925 900 for six months. 1t is reported
that the existence Of this credit In the
United States has materially helped to
steady sterling exchange and that the
interest charges were well worth while
The original loan agreement made no
provision for a renewal, but 1t Is be-
iteyed that the London banks will de-
sire to have continuation Of the
credit, and that they Will readily agree
to the terms. w. >. COUSINS.

DEATH Of Mr.. HILL

Wall Street Prepared for
Passing of the Great Rail-
road Builder.
RATES FOR MONEY SHOW
A HARDENING TENDENCY
New York Bankers Willing to Re-
new the $5O,000,OOO Brit
ish Credit Loan.

NEW YORK, June 3.-Though Sc
verely shocked by the news Monday
that the great empire builder of the
northwest had passed into the great
beyond the stock market had prepared
so carefully for this announcement
that Mr. Hills death was without i'm
portant influence as market factor.
That group of railroad shares common
ly known as the Hill stocks" has
therefore been unaffected by the final
exit of the master mind which built
up the marvellous system on which they
are based; neither can it be said that
any artificial stimulus has been neces-
sary to support the market"
The reason for this is obvious. In
these days there is a decreasing tend
ency for the large and influential
business organizations of the country
to depend upon one single individual
for their direction and guidance. Mod
ern business has come to realize the
Importance of organization. so that its
activities may be perpetuated despite
the loss of one or more of it's recog-
niZed leaders.

Heavy Slump in Orders
Placed With Steel Mills

NEW YORK, June 3.-Business in
iron and steel products is being sharp
ly contracted. The May orders are es-
timated to have been 100000 tons less
than in April and further reaction is
probable during June. Railroad equip
ment orders in May called for 40 per
cent less steel than in April. The fall
ing off was due largely to the less
heavy buying of rails. but the orders
for locomotives We're the heaviest since
June. 1915. Car contracts were cut in
half compared with April so far as
domestic roads are concerned.
1t is notable fact that more than
half of the May car contracts were
placed by foreign companies, 5000 cars
are being built for the Italian state
railways 1000 cars for Russia and 500
for France

Foreign Locomotive Orders.

About one-fifth of the orders for mo-
countries, including Egypt, France,
Cuba, Spain, Canada, China and South
America. Contracts now are under ne
gotiaton for 500 more locomotives for
Russia. as well as for 400 engines for
other foreign countries.
The exercise of the options on $4,000
tons of steel billetS and rounds, previ-
ously noted, proved to have been for
direct export. Agents of foreign gov
ernments who were negotiating with
American manufacturers of projectiles
are buying the semi-finished steel in
preference to the finished shells. 1t
now is learned that only about 100000
large size shells will be ordered in this
country in the near future,
Many domestic manufacturers of war
munitions are several months behind
in filling contracts, which may be one
of the reasons for the failure to buy
more finished shells at this time.
Contracts From Italy.
Domestic manufacturers, however,
nave been in the market for about
10000 tons of steel rounds and forging
billets to cover contracts about to be
placed by the Italian government, and
one Buffalo mill is said to have taken
an order for 10000 tons of forging bill
lets for S-millemeter shells. each
shell weighing 400 pounds. Plate
mills and ordnance manufacturers are
much interested in the battleships and
armament to be ordered by the United
states government, which will REQUIRE
ABOUT 2"o,Ooo tons of plates and shapes
and forgings.
