WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON MARKET
Bull Movement Halted by the Suspension of Future
 Trading in Liverpool

New York, June 22.-There have been extraordinary fluctuations, accompanied
 by great excitement in the cotton market during the past week The bull move ment, which had been in progress since early last month, was brought to sud- den halt on Wednesday by official announcement that futures trading in Liverpool had been temporarily suspend ed. Before such action was taken there had been sensational advances abroad, including a jump of approximately 31h cents per pound in the English market on Tuesday, and october contracts here had sold at 26. 6Oc. This made an advance of about 13 cents per pound in the local market since the low level reached right after the announcement of ruthless sub marine warfare and the break in dip lomatic relations between this country and Germany at the beginning of Feb ruary. Even greater advances were shown in the English market, the strength of which had been stimulating factor here and when Liverpool closed the local mar ket turned weak under heavy realizing or liquidation. The break carried Octo- Der contracts off to A 40c, making a de- cline of $11 per bale from the highest, while reactionary or bearish sentiment was encouraged by talk of better weather conditions and reports that cotton was being shipped here from the south for delivery on July contracts. Spot house brokers were moderate buyers the decline, however, while many traders took the closing of Liverpool emphasizing the urgent need for replenshing stocks abroad and there was a very sharp rally during today's trading. Private crop ad- vices claiming that the condition was even lower than at the end of May and complaints of drouthy weather in the southwest were factors the recovery which carried October up to 26.2Sc. The weekly statistics showed a stock of only 310,000 bales, American cotton, in Liver pool and an ocean freight rate of s5 per 100 pounds paid for freight room to Liver pool from New York. Next Tuesday will be the first July notice day inAthe local market with the trade looking for ten ders of about 10000 bales

A Real Curiosity

From the New York Globe.
 The snowman was exhibiting a very small skull, which he said was the headpiece of the great Oliver Crom- we'll
 This skull is much too small to be the skull of a man." said one patron, indignantly. "It can only be the skull of little boy. You're a fraud
 The snowman did not lose his nerve at this, but replied with dignity:
 You are right-it is not the skull of man, but that of Cromwell when he was a small lad"
