TIME TANGLE STILL
WORRYING MERCHANTS

About 40 members of the Merchants
Retail Bureau met at the Chamber of
Commerce rooms Monday morning and
discussed for about two hours the
matter of opening and closing the
stores, which seems to be a sort OF
troublesome question. After some
talk a motion to return to the hours
of standard time was lost and fol-
lowed by vote to continue as now
This vote was, however. modified with
few suggestions, which seems to
leave the matter pretty much to ones
own discretion and pleasure. These
suggestions were to the effect that
each merchant open in the morning at
such time as he pleases. This is to
obviate the difficulty of the former
vote which called for an hours earlier
opening and made some of the stores
open as early as $50, which was for
too early for their class of trade. And
1t was further suggested that every
one close at S on Mondays, Tuesdays.
Thursdays and Fridays. It was I'M
derstood that the stores would all be
closed Wednesday afternoons and it
was further suggested that each one
should close when he pleases on Sat
urday evening. c. e. B. Walker when
seen later took exceptions to the S
o'clock closing and said that he would
like to keep open until o'clock and
did so Monday as well as some other
clothiers on the street
At the end of week. if the present
arrangement doesn't please the mer-
chants another meeting will be held
to make another attempt for regula-
tion.

Cotton Weak in
New York Market

New York, June 6.-An opening adj
vance met a renewal of liquidation in
the cotton market today and october
sold off from 1885 to 1903 or 10 points
net lower and nearly 80 points below
the high price touched on the bullish
private crop reports of late last
month
That delivery closed at 1916 with
the general market closing steady at
net decline of seven to II points.
The opening advance of five to Is
points was in response to late firm
ness in Liverpool accompanied by re-
ports of better prospects for all early
settlement of both the coal mining
dispute and the labor troubles in Ian
cashire. Liverpool was a moderate
buyer here and there was support
from some of the local commission,
houses, but the south sold and prices
soon turned easier under liquidation
by old western and Wall street longs
After showing net losses of about 10
to 10 points late in the morning with
July selling at 1885 and December at
1884. the market steadied on cover
ing. but rallies of IL or II points met
a renewal of Wall street liquidation.
This gave the market an unsettled
appearance during the afternoon AL
though there was comparatively lit
tie southern selling after the first hour
ana last prices were a few points up
from the lowest. The weakness Of
foreign exchange and reports Of i'm
proving crop conditions in the south
were supposed to be partly responsible
Tor the continued liquidation of peo-
pie who had bought on the advance of
late last month and whose confidence
mad been shaken by the failure of the
low end-May condition figures to
stimulate fresh buying. The weather
map showed beneficial showers or
rams in western belt sections. and
whiie 1t was thought the eastern belt
bould be better for more moisture
growing conditions generally were con.
sloered favorable, promoting a belief
that the crop has improved since the
cate OF the government report. Trade
interests We're reported good BUYERS
on the declines, and some scattered
buying in the late trading was suppos-
ed to be based on an idea that the
