NET DECLINE in
new YORK COTTON
Selling by the South on the Late After
noon Break Carried Market Down.
AN rha AasocIated Presa.l

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cotton
market was lower today under realizing
or scattered liquidation. Reports Of
clearing weather in the southwest prob
ably increased the disposition to even up
long contracts while there was also some
selling by the south 0 nthe late afternoon
selling by the south on the late afternoon
1880 or SO points below last nights clos
ing quotations. That delivery closed at
1886 with the general market closing
barely steady at a net decline Of is to
80 points.
The early cables from Liverpool showed
continued strength and still larger spot
sales were reported there amounting to
fifteen thousand bales. The local mar
ket. however, showed an easier tendency
from the start, opening 2 points lower 10
four points higher, July being relatively
easy owing to the circulation of notices
estimated at $500 bales.
Liverpool turned easier after the local
opening. the decline there being accom-
panied by private cables reporting liquida-
ton of scattering longs and claiming that
India was refusing to pay the higher
prices asked for goods in Lancashire.
This stimulated the liquidation of scat
tering long accounts around the local
ring. There were buyers on a scale
downward. The report OF a prominent
southern authority making the mid
month condition of the crop 67.2 instead
OF 704 as rumored yesterday. seemed to
attract no special attention and local
brokers regarded the decline as the re-
suit Of an easier technical position rather
than OF any special change in the general
news. Southern hedge selling was re-
ported here early and again coward the
close. but otherwise traders found moth
ing to indicate any change In the spot
situation and there was talk OF an inn
proved tone in the domestic goods mar
ket.

ness marked todays desultory and pro-

Total sales OF about three hundred fifty

chemicals, most Of which are leading at

supply also made extreme gains OF to

Shorts stubbornly opposed the advance,
however. and before the last half Of the
session was well under way, many reac-
lions occurred, ALTHOUGH gains predomi-
mated at the dull close, notwithstanding
the sudden rise of call money.
Call loans opened at six per cent in
contrast to yesterdays easier rate, but

determination must stand, even il there

ion between the legislative and judicial

Vickers.
IF the Legislature in passing this
statute was inspired by the weight of
medical authority that intoxicating
liquors have no medicinal properties
and are injurious to the human sys-
TEN, or by the opinion Of those charged
with the administration of the criminal
laws Of the State, that the majority of
the crimes are attributable directly or
indirectly TO liquor, or by the belief that
the peace and tranquility of the COM
munity will be best preserved by the
prohibition Of tho traffic I'm and the use
OF intoxicating liquors. it is inconcciv-
able that such legislative function
could constitutionally be thwartcd by
the judiciary unless the manner of cx-
pressing its will was clearly in con-
travention Of its constitution.
