Re actionary sentiments were expressed more generally around the ring, and after selling at 146lc on an early bulge December contracts eased off to 14.42c, but this decline was fol- lowed by very rapid advance of about Sl.50 q bale during the after noon, with that delivery selling at 14.72c and closing at 1I.59c under re- newed realizing. The final .one vas barely steady, with the general list net points lower to 3 higher.
 Private cables reported that the ad- vance in Liverpool had been checked by realizing around the 1-2d ievel, and the market here opened steady at 2 decline of to l2 points in response to relatively easy cables.

 This morning our troops entered the town of Gorizia.
 Yesterday morning in the Gorizia area after intense artillery prepara- ton our infantry completed capture of the heights west of the town after driving out the last remainingg hos tile attachments. Trenches and dug outs were found fuil of the bodies of Austrian soldiers. The enemy, com pletely routed, had left large quanti- ties of arms, ammunition and ma terial.
 At nightfall detachments of the Casale and Pavia brigades crossed the Isonzo and consolidated themselves on the left bank. A column of cav .alry and Bersaflieri cyclists promptly launched a pursuit of the enemy be- .yond the river. In the meantime our engineers were throwing new bridges 'across the river, repairing those dam aged by the enemy.
 "On Carso plateau our troops re- pulsed the several counter attacks on the summit of Monte San Michele and captured more trenches in the neigh borhood of the village of San Mar tino.
 Up to the present time we have taken about 10000 prisoners. More are coming in. The exact quantity of material taken by us has not yet been ascertained, but it is very consider able"
 Gorizia, with its bridgehead, has been the principal obstacle to the Ita- Hans in their efforts to cross the Isonzo river and advance upon Triest 2 miles to the southeast. The city's defenses were considered perhaps thl strongest of any in the European wal field.
 Gorizia had a population of about 30,O0O. It is an important railway junction point and with it's surround ing eminences has been considered the key to the entire situation in the Isonzo district.

John II. WHY'S. president of the WHY'S
Overland Company, and William c. Du-
rant, head of the Chevrolet Motors Com

the promise of ample financial backing
by banks in this city, Chicago, Cleveland

The prelminares of the merger are

COTTON MARKETS.
NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. June 1.-The cotton
market showed continued nervousness
early today. Liverpool did not fully
meet yesterdays local decline and the
market here opened steady at an ad
vance of l to 4 points, with July selling
at 1853 on the call, while October sold
at 12.14 and December at 12.SS during
the first few minutes, or about points
net higher.
Houses with Liverpool connections
some of yesterdays scattered sellers.
but the weather in the south continued
vorable, while there was further
Wall street and southern liquidation.
under which prices soon eased off. July
was relative easy, selling down to
1884. or points net lower, with later
months ruling a point or two under la st
nights closing figures toward the end
of the first hour.
Futures opened steady. July, 1858:
October, 12.72: December, 1856; Janu,
ary. 1891; March. 1907.
Trading was less active later and
prices steadied on covering and buying
for reaction, with July selling up to
1888, or back to last nights closing
price. October at 1870 and December
at 12.S5. or l to . points net higher.
Private wires from New Orleans said
spot holders were refusing to follow
the decline, and the reported absence
of hedge selling around the local ring
probably inspired some of the scattered
buying.
