NEW YORK. June 14.-The

COTTON STEADY
IN DULL MARKET
Traders Wait Developments
In Settling British
Strikes.

r NEW YORK. June II-Ths cotton
trade continues in a waiting atti-
tude. principally for definite news
of a settlement of the British coal
miners' strike and also the British
cotton mills labor trouble for a
resumption OF the cotton issue in
Great Britain. without such a de-
velopment IL is realized that the
foreign trade demand for our cot
ton will continue on too limited a
scale to encourage any renewal of
a bullish average in the crop re
ports and the steadiness with which
prices on the southern spot markets
are being held to keep contract
prices from developing weakness.
There has been too much rain the
past week in Texas and also in
parts of the central states for the
present needs for the proper devel-
opment of the crop in that section.
On the other hand, droughty con-
ditions of the past week have re-
manned unrelieved over most of
Georgia and parts Of Alabama and
the Carolinas, which. with the high

complaints to come from those east
ern states in the belt
Present crop news is therefore of
a more mixed character than lately
making IL largely a narrow trading
weather market. Absence of any
marked selling pressure of either
spots or futures is attributed to the
general expectation that both of
the great strikes helping to para
lyze Great Britain's Industries will
soon be over, and with their end
there will be a broadening out of
the foreign demand for our cotton
from the limited volume of the past
month. Every week that passes
now, however. brings US closer to
the beginning of the new cotton
statistical and new crop moving pc
riod of August 1st, when IL would
seem as though the bearishness of
the figures on the large amount of
cotton which will have to be car
ried over from the past seasons
crop will weigh somewhat heavily
against the markets unless dias-
trous weather overtakes the new
crop in the meantime.

STABILITY MARKS
TRADING In BONDS
Supply and Demand Evenly
Matched in Narrow
Movements.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE. bond
market today was as devoid of the
sensational as a healthy bond mar
ket should be. 1t seemed to have
settled down to a position in which
supply was more evenly matched
with demand OF the right sort. and
as a result the whole list presented
an aspect of greater stability. The
Mexican SIS. which had such a rapid
rise yesterday. continued to be ac-
lively dealt in and advanced y
point above yesterdays highest
price. Other foreign government
issues were only fairly active and
moved within a narrow range Of
their Monday closing prices.
In the United States war bond
group the same condition prevailed.
The widest range was in the fourth
Liberty AZ, but even in this issue
there was a difference of less than
20 cents between the high and low
prices during the greater part Of
the session. Neither these nor the
foreign issues were affected in any
way by the passage of the Porter
peace resolution in the house yes
terday.
Changes in the railroad and n.
dustrial list were small, as many
gains as losses being recorded. A
wide range was shown in Chicago.

TIMELY WALL STREET TOPICS

NEW YORK. June l4.-During the
first two hours Of today's session
traders showed no disposition to
continue yesterday's recovery 1ex-
cept in beneficial issues An irreg-
uIar opening was followed during
the morning by uncertain nuctua-
tions entaiting the estabiishmeNt OF
q few more low records while some
Of the motors, notably studebaker.
were advancing slowly.
Around noon the general forward
movement started under the leader
ship of the oils and did not meet
resistance until well ON toward the
beginning Of the NTH hour. BY that
time gains OF I to points were
spread over a broad list Of stocks.
Proft- taking and q resumption OF
short. selling on q small scale
brought about a moderate reaction
but at the close net gains were
more numerous than losses.
Failure of the railroad stocks to
share equally with fndustrials In
the rally yesterday afternoon and
their irregularity today rejected
the uncertainty which the market
community feels over the Northern
Pacific and Great Northern divi-
dends. AS the time approaches for
the directors of these two roads to
take action this topic Is becoming
more and more absorbing. Several
houses were of the opinion today
that nothing could be expected Of
the railroad stocks until disposition
is actually made OF these dividends.
After an appearance, Of strength
at the opening Northern Pacific and
Great Northern both declined sharp
ly, making new lows. In the case
of Great Northern the price reached
in the first hour was the lowest
since 1896. II is necessary to go
back to 1900 for a lower price on
Northern Pacific. In that year IL
sold at ASK and In 1901. fiscally re-
ported transactions were carried
out as high as 700. with private sales
reported at $1,000.
The street now seems less certain
than IT was a few days ago that tho
dividends in these two roads will
be omitted entirely. The tendency
now is 70 take a middle course.
probably because some hope has
oeen borne of a rumor to the effect
that one of the ruling factors in
the Great Northern was reported as
stating that no change will be made
In the dividend. Many believe that
the rate in both stocks will be re-
duced from to per cent.
Those who assumed that reduc-
tion would be made to this level
questioned whether the stocks had
not gone far enough to discount
such Developments. Pennsylvania,
they pointed out, pays at the rate
of So a share and is selling around
-. On the same yield basis North
-rn Pacific and Great Northern, pay
ing IS a share should sell around IS.
Northern Pacific sold only "a few
points higher than that earlier this
year when there was no question
about the dividend. OF course IS is
out OF the question but those who
use the figure do so only to sup
port their belief that stocks have
already sold low enough.

EXPENDITURES ON MAINrAINENCE OF
HIGHWAYS.

To meet the terms of the federal
aid act the states have progressed
rapidly in raising highway funds
State highway departments have
laid out state systems calling for
even greater expenditures than is
contemplated by the most ambitious
advocates of federal aid. and the to-
tai of available funds for highway
construction has been increased ac-
cordingly. The states are raising
funds in several ways, by state
road taxes: direct legislature ap-
appropriations, bonds, automobile
revenues, and miscellaneous taxes.
such as income tax. gasoline tax,
etc. b..
No accurate national survey has
vet been made of the total expen-
ditures for highway construction
and maintenance by state and local
districts, but the most reliable esti-
mates place the total of available
funds for 1921 at about s622.o0o.0oo.
The total Of the highway bonds au-
thorized by the states during the last
few years. such a total should not

The appropriations proposed in
highway bills now before congress
are designed to carry on the federal
highway improvements at the rate
established during the past three
years which represents the period
of state organization and prepara-
