NEW YORK, July 2s.-Mid-sum-

There was additional evidence that

professionals are less eager to pursue

Trading such as the Street has been

SHARP DECLINE
In COTTON PRICES
Market of 80 to 81 Points
From Saturdays
Close.

NEW YORK. July 25.-There was
rather sharp decline in cotton
prices today. 1t extended between
30 and 81 points from Saturdays
closing with October going down to
1890 by shortly after 2 o'clock as
against 1865 for December; Janu-
airy. 1910. and March IL cents.
There was not much rally from
those prices in the last hours trad
ing. The decline was due TO liqui-
dation by local and Wall Street
bulls who had been working the
market UP the previous two weeks
against a supposedly heavy weak
short interest here and on the bet
ter trade conditions and large spot
sales en- the British market for
Manchester and continental spin
ners.
Some slowing down from that re-
cent demand for spot cotton at Liv-
erpooI Friday and again today, to-
gether with somewhat better
weather in the cotton belt and the
proximity of the next government
crop condition report due August
1 for the July 25 condition. and
the absence of much new local or
outside buying to develop in the
support of prices Saturday when
the market eased of 10 to II points.
were the combination of factors
which seemed to influence today's
rather general local selling. The
South turned up a large seller from
the opening and this pressure was
what undoubtedly accelerated the
local selling.
Many thought most of the South
era selling was of a hedging char
acter as the spot demand on the
Southern markets was reported to-
day as much quieter with prices at
most points off about 20 to 25 points
on the day, in following the earlier
decline here and at New Orleans.
Some stop-loss selling was what
made the low prices for October.

MINING ISSUES
ATTRACT CURB
Durant Motors in Demand
And Goodyear Tire Is
Active.

NEW YORK. July 25.-The New
York curb market showed a gem
orally strong tone with the begin
ming of the new week. but there
was a disposition to devote moro
attention to mining issues and to
low-priced industrials than to tho
group of industrials that had for
a long time been most prominent
in the trading. A feature of this
character was shown in National
Tin, in which the trading has been
increasing in volume for some time
at advancing prices. The movement
has been accompanied by statements
in regard to important developments
in the mining position of the COM
pany and also in its trade relations.
Importance was attached to the
probability that the Fordney tariff
bill will provide a duty of 2 cents
pound on tin.
Durant Motors was in good de-
mand. selling again at 20. against
a low OF 24h last week. Goodyea,
Tire was in increased demand also.
and there was active trading in a
number OF the low-priced tire and
motor stocks. Farrell Coal was ex-
ceptionally weak. falling from l5H
to 12k. Glen Alden Coal was again
trading in at 34X to "a. Sweets
Company was unchanged at 2A, and
Retail Candy again sold at 6k and
6h.
Petroleum stocks did not materi-
ally change their trading position
during the day. Cities Service rang
ed from 11Sh to III. and Simms
Petroleum sold at 6A and Ga. Trop-
ical Oil stocks were strong. Mara
caibo ranging from 21% to z1b
and International Petroleum from
III to 11h. There was a fair de-
mand for Producers and Refners
which sold at 2H and 3. Elk Ba'
sin sold at SIS. Among the active
mining stocks. most attention wal
paid to Boston and Montana, which
was heavily traded in and made q
further substantial advance. Flor.
ence Goldfeld was another active
and strong feature in this group.

COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Dullness
and narrowness were the only fea-
lures of the coffee market today.
On the call a few thousand bags
were sold at prices slightly above
or below Fridays closing levels.
Subsequently demand became
slightly more active and several
small lots sold at net gains of to
6 points.
The official cables were regarded
as sufficiently encouraging to have
caused a sharper advance here, hut
this factor was Offset by the evi-
dent eagerness among holders of
September to liquid.te or exchange
for later deliveries. This action Is
beginning unusually early. and the
premiums paid to secure the dis
tant contracts are already increas-
ing. Switches constituted a large
part of today's dealings.
