FRANCS DROP TOl NEW LOW RECORD FOR PRESENT YEAR

NEW YORK, August 2.-Heavy selling of the railroad shares un- settled today's stock market after an early interval of strength. Trad ing, however, was relatively dull with the large bulk of the days bust ness coming from professional sources.
 French and Belgian francs dropped to new low records for the year in response to Premier BaldwiE's speech in the House of Commons setting forth that there was no hope of an agreemqlt between Great Britain and France on German rep arations. The French franc sank to 6.71 cents, or within point of the low Of all time, and the Belgian franc was down to 4.57& but both rallied later.
 There was nothing new in tho days news to account for the selling of the rails. Northwestern rails were again the hardest hit, bear operators laying stress on the failure of sew eral of the large systems to eatn their fixed charges in recent months. Rail officials recently have pointed out that the first six months of the year were always the worst for those roads and that large sums have been expended for equipment this spring and summer to get them in shape for moving the heavy traffic this fall. RunOfS or new financing py the St Paul system also were cried during the day but these lacked confirma- tion.
 Great Northern preferred dropped 3ss to 54, the lowest quotation since 1896. and St. Paul preferred. Rock Island common and and per cent preferred, Northern Pacific, Union Pacific, sold off one to three points.
 -Ila avsra,y,s of 30 leading Inl1u> trials showed a slight gain on the day but United States Steel, Baldwin, American Can and some of the other so- called pivotal stocks registered fractional recessions after having sold one to two points above yeseter- days closing prices.
 There was heaving buying for tho short account in tho early part of the session as result of the un- usually favorable earnings reports recently rublished by United States Steel, American Locomotive, General Motors. Foundation company. Bethle- hem Steel. Studebaker and other largo industrial concerns.
 Selling of the rails in tho faoe of Q. report of record breaking carload ing for the week ending July 21 was somewhat of surprise. Specula- tive fear of radical railroad legisla- regarded as faAs in this liquidation.
 Gail money opened at per cent dropped to Al. thence to 4A and fin- ally to whore 1t closed The time loan market was quiet with brokers bidding per cent and bankers ask- ing 514, loans for the longer maturi- ties being arranged at the higher fi- gure.

CROP REPORT NOT TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY MILL INTERESTS

NEW YORK, August 2.-The fall ure of mill interests both here and in England to regard the bullish government crop report seriously, was an important factor in check ing the further advance in cotton prices which occurred today. Early in the session, after having opened generally Is to 20 points higher, October advanced to 22.S6, repre- senting 45 points rise over the pre- vious close and about 200 points ad- vance in the past two days. Al this level local sentiment changed about to the bear side because of numerous reports, even when basis domestic mills refused to buy and 1t was also expected that trade in the cotton goods market had shown no improvement whatever as the result of buslish report and that eastern mills have large stocks of lating more. This with predictions for showers in the southwest led to realizing which became heavy in the last hour when 1t was featured by western offerings of cotton bought on the report yesterday The rise was violent action that carried October contracts down to E217 and left the market at the close barely steady and five to 21 points net low CT. In other words about a third of the weeks recovery was lost. Most of the forenoon strength in the mar ket was due to a continuation/of the unfavorable Texas crop news. High temperature again prevailed in that state and in Oklahoma. causing num- erous complaints and some estimates of a greatly reduced yield, although there were at the same time private wires declaring that Texas could still make a bumper yield if 1t should get a good soaking rain within the next few days.
 Attending the late afternoon break were reports that showers were ex pected in Texas along with cooler weather and the selling was also stimulated by unfavorable reports as to political conditions in Europe. At the close of the day sentiment was very much mixed but more bearish than otherwise mainly because of mill inactivity. Exports today S.799, making 9,176 for the season thus far. Port receipts 1,57S. United States port stocks 181,173.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS. August 2--Moderate- ly wide net advances in the early trading In cotton today were replaced by mod erately wide net declines in the later trading, the market betting about as easy In the second half of the session as it was strong in the first half. It closed practically at the bottom at net losses the day of 23 to 32 points with Oc- tober ranging from 21.62 to 21.65 cents in It's final sales. Unfavorable European po- litical news was generally accepted as the main reason for the weakness. although the market also had to stand a consider able volume of hedge selling. Easiness in the stock market was also factor against values.
 In the early part of the day. after the effects of much better Liverpool than expected had worn off. the main influ- ences the drouthy weather in Texas and Oklahoma along with complaints of hot winds in some sections of those states and of rapid deterioration of the crop over large areas. Complaints of too much rain in the eastern belt and of the rapid increase of the boil weevil helped to strengthen values.
 Az the market hardened great deal of realizing came from the long side and sedge selling increased. In the last hour the pressure against prices was heaviest and breaks were rather violent, finally landing the trading positions 27 to 32 points under the last quotations of yes- terday. with October off to 21.62 cents.

STEwART'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM Ala, August 2.---Liver- pool quotations came over points better than due with sales of 5000 bales at an advance of 61 points in their spot prices. Manchester showed but little improvement in demand for yarns and goods. Our markets opened 10 to 25 points higher than Wednesdays close on further short covering and the better Liverpool but the advance met free offerings much of 1t apparently coming from the south. This selling started Q decline that lasted most of the session. the selling was in- creased in the afternoon by New York professionals that brough the lows of the day and final of Is to 30 points under the previous close. Spots were quiet and quotations generally unchanged to 25 $500 bales yesterday. While the selling in futures today were not of such large volume there was lacking sufficient buy ing to check the decline. There were un- confirmed reports of showers in the south- west Many private messases came in ous damage due to the heat but like last Thursday they failed to attract outside demand of importance. It looked some- what though the advance of the bu- reau was due to short covering and when that was completed the chief support was taken away. The central and eastern belts complained of too much rain. It was suggested that perhaps the offerings of high temperatures. sentiment which was quite bulish early became mixed in the afternoon and doubt was expressed If the market could be boosted on the bullish bureau and Texas drought with mills largely idle and European conditions de- pressing.-S.
