Weekly Cotton Goods

New York. June 29-The basis of prices suggested on cotton goods to the price, fixing board last week not having been cor firmed, and another meeting between trade representatives and the board hav- ing been arranged for Monday. buyers and sellers in primary markets confined their operations within very narrow scope. The few orders accepted by mills were considered to be subject to re- vision. The retail and jobbing trades are looking forward to lower values. Gov errment orders are coming along steadily in increasing volume and mill agents have been glad to see lull in civilian demand. The steadiness of prices in second hands is taken in the trade to indicate full call for all the goods now made and all that can be made for civil ian purposes for some time to come. Quo tations ore nominal. Last prices were: Print cloths. 8-inch 64x64s, l4c 64x6us, 133zc. 38h-tnch GA 64. 19c; brown sheet ines. southern standards. 2Sc deuims. 2.2o indigo, 37hc: tickings.

OM|NAL STAGE WAS GOAL IN TRADING
Market of a Professional Nature and Much Specula-
 ton Featured

New York, June 2s.--Trading in stocks today did not get beyond the nominal stage, the market bearing the many familiar aspects of a weekend summer session. Interest was wholly professional and centered in various issues. notably metals. oils and other kshares of like speculative character. Extreme gains in these groups ran from 1 to 2 points with extremely narrow fluctuations in representative stocks.
 Some of the latter were subjected to slight pressure. but hardened at the steady close
 General news had little influence on values but railroad earnings were not especially favorable, Reading showing a marked loss in surplus for May while Canadian Pacific reported a net de- crease of $864,000-
 The strength of francs was the sole feature of the foreign exchange mar ket, Hires holding at the official" rate and rubles maintaining the greater part of their recent recovery. Heavy rnidyear shifting of loans was dis clesed by the bank statement. actual loans increasing by almost S67.0f6,66s. reserves of member banks in the local federal reserve institution gaining al- most $129,000,000 and excess reserves increasing by the very large sum of about s125, 900.
 Bonds were irregular, Liberty issues easing slightly. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3,575.oo0. United States 2s and 4s, old issues, declined A per cent cn call during the week.

IN COTTON
 DID NOT LAST LONG
General List Closed Steady, Net 7 Points Lower to IS Points Higher

New York, June 2e.- An early decline on bearish weather and crop advices was followed by crop rallies in the were not maintained with the close steady, net points lower to IS points higher. After selling at 251oc. October rallied to 25.z5c or IS points net higher and closed at 25.2ec-
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of IS points to an advance of i point There was bulge right after the call on covering, but offerings soon increased on talk of better pros poets for showers or rain in the south west and high private condition fjg- ures. July sold off to 27.63c, or P points net lower. while December de- clined to 24.61c, making net loss of 70 points Trading interests were good buyers until this setback and prices rallied during the middle of the morning, July selling up to 2S.10c, and December. 2i.92c, making net ad- vances of i2 to 25 points. Later fluc- tuations were irregular under realiz- ing with near months relatively steady at the close. Private wires reported rain at TexarRana, Tex. There were also bulletins of rains or snowers at two or three points in Oklahoma and in tho Memphis district These unsettled conditions inspired the talk ot probable rains in drouthy sections or the southwest over Sunday. The oiIi- cial forecast of showers and thunder storms for Arkansas, with cloudy weather for Oklahoma and partly cloudy for Texas. One or the private reports indicated a condition or S4.4 compared with S1 last month, ana an- other of SC.6 against S2 last month. The weekend figures were considered bearish, but were not an important 1ac- tor. Reports from the goods trace indicated that business was stiii re- strictad by price fixing uncertalnlies and that all sales for forward ueilv- cry were being made subject to reyls- ion.

Weekly Financial

New York, June 2s.-Foreign military
 and rol,tcai developments exerted great
 CT influence over the stock market this
 week, although domestic happenings oc-
 casion:.l!y entered into the calculations
 of traders who sought at times to ex-
 tend operations for the short account.
 The disastrous defeat of the Austrians, the latest peace offensive launched by Germany's foreign minister. and the many dramatic rumors dealing with af- fairs in Russia, most often overshadowed events at home
 The attention of bankers was divided Letwesn the proposal of tho treasury de- partmert to increase the next Liberty Loan to $A,ooo. ooo.ooo and new railroad fisncirg, including tho extension of ma |turinz Baltimore and Ohio notes and an offering of $2o0oo.ooo Union Pacific ro;es on terms, which bespoke the great CT cost ef capital.
 Many raili oad reports were submitted. these in the main proving favorable. but tho recent frosts over various agri- cultural sections are believed to have l ca used considerable damage to crop pros pects.
 Representative industrials were steadied by the statement that the United States Steel corporation and other big pro- ducers are working 90 to s5 per cent Of capacity and the very excellent financial reports of several leading equipment com ;,al.ies.
 TInse and call loans were easier and l in frser supply. bank clearings at prin- cipat c,ate-s were vastly in excess of ,ec same lc,iod last year, and from re- n,ittsnces reported were not essentially changed for foreign paper, except for 1 fur. her ft,rness in rates on Italy.

New York tutures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans. June 29.--While there was considerably selling in the early trading in cotton today and again toward the close, the tone was uniformly steady throughout the session and at one tune new crops went to small net advance. The net change however, was against values, closing prices being to z points under the last prices of yesterday.
 The selling of the session was pased almost wholly on bearish expectations concerning the condition report next Tuesday Soon after the opening the trading months were i9 to P points under the close of yesterday. The dry weather in Texas and the forecast of more 10 come created demand for the new crops and the inquiry was strengthened py ru- mors that Austria vas seeking separa!e c pease with the entente powers. The early loss was recovered and the new crop months moved up to a net advance ol to points Late in the day burst of selling, apparently for short account, hit the ring and caused a quick slump.
 official statements from Washington pointing to more liberal use of low grades of spots were steadying infiu- ences but they did not have much eI- feet on July. Locally spots were un- changed

Hungry Joe's Drinking Fountain

Advsnturer in Neighboring. in the
 Christian Herald.
 The town of G. lies on the Yel- lowstone river. at the foot of hill known as Hungry Joe" It has 6ooo inhabitants There is an immensc amount of business transacted in It, for 1t is a railroad division point, also a shipping point east for stock, wool and gyain So there are men, teams and dogs constantly coming and going. Recently 1t had but one hotel twhicn was equipped with a bar), many pri- yate boarding houses, and some room- ing houses- But there was virtually no place for a man to get drink cf water except at a saloon. The ". z. T. U. women saw this state of affairs and regretted 1t so much that finally tainments and suppers be given. the proceeds to be used to purchase 3 drinking fountain.
 The women set to work. and the re- suit was that they bought three foun- tains, inrtead of one. These were . bubbling fountain twith a lower basin for dogs) which they placed in front of the postoffice; an even larger foun- tain (also for man and beast) which was placed on the courthouse lawn; and last, but not least. an ornamental fountain for the center of sflatiron" enclosure. which stood where three streets came together.
 This enclosure had always been an eyesore. So the women had the ground spaded up and seeded 10 grass and flowers-which the spray from the fountain kept beautiful. Arbor Day OK ercises were held here. and the chill dren planted trees about this little park. So 1t became a delight to every one who entered the town.

American Cotton Oil

New York, June 2s-tSpecia1. )-For, the first time in this war period, and in fact for the first time in it's history, the American Cotton oil company ap- pears to be at the beginning of a pe- riod of very large earnings on it's com mon shares
 Under economic conditions during the war period to date American Cotton Oil has not been in an advantageous posi- ton. The raw material used in it's manu- featuring operations is cotton seed, the supply of which depends upon the size of the cotton crop. During the last two years the cotton crops have been com paratively small, being 2,60o,0O0 bales less than the average for the previous five years. As a result the company's vol ume of business necessarily has been lim- tied as compared with previous years. and while vegetable and animal oils
 have reachsi abnormally high prices during this period the price of cotton seed has been the highest known in the
 history of the industry.
 In the last three years the total earn ings on the common stock have amount ed to $1S.6o per share. or at the rate of $S.20 per share annually. Common
 dividends at the rate of s4 per share an nually have been paid since December. 1915.
 For 1918 the prospects for large cot ton crop appear so favorable that the outlook for American Cotton Oil com pany's earnings has been enormously inn
 proved The United States government s latest report on the cotton crop shows higher condition than in any of the past 10 years, with the exception of 1911 Never before has American Cotton Oil had the advantage of very high prices for vegetable oil products with, at the same time, an ample supply of cotton seed
 With these conditions we feel there should be a considerable amount of spec ulative attraction in American Cotton Oil. The company has outstanding $lo,l%.0o of per cent noncummulative preferred stock, s20, 237, 100 common stock and $l2,- ;ec 900 funded debt. Dividends of per .ent per annum have been paid on the preferred stock every year since lSsz. Dividends on the common stock have been paid in 16 years out of the last 70 years, the present rate as above men tioned, being $4 per share annually The company's profit and loss surplus on August 3l. 1917, the date of its last pup lushed report, amounted to N2.572.S09. equal to $62 per share on the common stock. compared with the present market price of $42 for the common. The state ,nents herein made are not guaranteed, hut are obtained from sources We be- N lieve to be correct.-MAURY, ROGERS& iAUCHINCLDSS.

BETTER WEATHER
 SENT CORN DOWN
Related June Covering of Oats Caused This Staple
 to Close at a Gain

Chicago, June 2s.-Lower prices for corn resulted today from improved weather. The market closed unsettled. lsc to 5sc down. oats finished Nc off to 1sc advance and provisions varying from unchanged figures to a gain of 25c,
 Relief from the excessive heat in the southwest was shown and there were Kansas and Nebraska rain reports which induced considerable selling of corn. Be- sides, the indications pointed to generally normal conditions next week Buying support was limited from the outset
 There was some belated covering in June oats and that option closed higher. Other deliveries of oats sympathized with the weakness of corn.
 Liberal shipments of meats made pro- visions average higher. Declines in the value of hogs failed to act as an offset Most of the pit business consisted of changing.

session. The list closed seven points lower to IS points higher. Oklahoma reported heavy showers in the cotton belt, as did the Memphis section. A private report on the crop put figures at S4.4, compared with s1 last month. Weekend figures were bearish.
 Weather of the improved sort sent corn quotations down in the pit, the staple closing AgRc down. Related June covering in oats caused this sta pie to close at an advance of hc. Ship ments of meats were liberal, which fact made provisions average higher. Hogs were off on price

Hubbard Bros. q Co.'S Letter

New York, June 2s.--tSpeciaL )--The Watkins crop report was issued this morning and gives a condition of Sf4 and an estimate of the crop without linters of 14.725.00 bales on the basis of this condition. subject, of course. to the vicissitudes of the weather from now-on This caused decline in the first hour and then followed de- mand for foreign accounts. which ad- vanced the market some 30 points. to have it fall away again Our local trade is so convinced that some dis aster will overcome the crop that they pay no attention to the good crop re- ports, as they regard them as simply matter of momentary interest until later in the season, when they expect a sharp deterioration-Hubb Bros. & Ca
