JULY STILL FEATURE OF THE COTTON MARKET was still very much vg lun market, although ther* was after all no very striking feature. Still that month was stronger here and In Now Orleans than In any other. There is said to bo n In rye short Interest In both markets. Needhsa to say. there Is a big short Interest In (he next crop too. But Just at tho moment the attention of the trade la focussed on July. The crop movement at the same time In pretty light and the efflux of cotton to foreign markets pretty large. Bulls lay some stiess on the fact that the govern ment s estimate of the Increase In acreage Is practically 4 por cent Instead of 6.2 per cent os everybody supposed. But this Is scarcely a matter to dwell upon. All the facts nnd circumstances surrounding the case seem to point Inevitably to the con clusion that tho Increase li very much larger than this, and very few are fooled by assertions to the contrary. Whether the big acreage will yield n big crop is another matter, for cotton history shows very dearly that n largo area by no means necessarily Indicates a large yield. The weather, then, is tho thing to watch, L PRICES STRONG CLIQUE BULL TRAD ERS BOUGHT EARLY. Stocks Were in Free Supply and Commission Houses Were Free Sellers. By Private Leased Wire. New York, June 13.—Today's mar ket waa again one where there was lit tle actual newt, a pronounced uncer tainty among the profeislonal traders and In consequence a very Irregular price movement. Two ot three stocks continued to be bought heavily,.but for reasons which seemed to be entirely distinct from considerations governing the general market. The buying of St. Paul, which made the greatest show of strength, was once more a subject of mystery to tlje trading party. The only other stock to show* re sistance was Baltimore and Ohio, hlch. under the same rumors that were mad** use uf yesterday, rose a point and held Its gain. In other quarters the market during the fore noon was heavy and lost ground steadily. Larger blocks were for salo at the declining prices than have ap peared for some time, with special weakness In the Steel shares. Union Pacific, Copper, Reading and Brooklyn Rapid Transit. In tlie stock market Initial prices with comparatively few exceptions, In cluding Amalgamated, which gained 1-8, showed declines. Erie, New York CentraJ, Colorado Fuel and Pennsyl vania railroad started 1-8 lower; Read ing and Brooklyn Rapid Transit, 1-4, and Union Pacific, 1-4 per cent. Thf stock market waa made strong at the opening by jl clique of strong bull traders, but stocks were in free supply, nnd after the early gains near ly everything on the list shaded off from the highest prices of the first few minutes.

A L»- G1BERT A. CLAY'S DAILY COTTON LETTER. New Orleans, June It.—Liverpool advices were M the effect that the market', undertone had become very weak and that It was n difficult mat ter to nil cotton. The ,l" lining Mm could, In all probability, be attributed to the very favorable crop report, that continue to be received, and options netted a lots of 5 point* over yester day's close. Spot transaction, .bow ed a healthy Increase, however, amounting to 10,040 bales at 2 point, lower. The July liquidation, whll. not ■o active today as recently, neverthe- continue, to be a tentative In fluence In .upportlng the market. Some aggrcaalvenea. wa* displayed by the Bhort aide lit the earlier trad ing, but the market ofrered so much resistance that bearish tactics were more or leas abandoned, although the heavy ralne In the eastern belt were generally considered beneficial. For the moment, and ponding the final outcome of the July ipecter, the-mar ket may not entirely reflect by price- changes the real character of the weather,' as an influence, neverthe less. it la a weather market, pure and simple, and should no extensive re port. of damage be received In the near future. It la more than likely that some concerted action on the part of the bears will soon be witnessed, a. sentiment Mem. to be growing stronger dally In favor of lower prices. Chicago, June It.—WHEAT mar ket, after opening; as a result of the advance in Liverpool cables, scored quite a fair reaction, due to profit- taking by local long, and refllng br commission hotues. Trad, through- out waa featureless and of professional character. So lon#r a* the ware of pessimism continues to awuap tne country, bullish news, whether real or fictitious, will not only be at an exor bitant pfumlum, but will be manufac tured to suit the bulls, hence It would New Orleans, and It Is Impossible to forecast the price movement with any degree of certainty. We believe that the selling of the October option has been overdone and shorts In this op tion may be In a very uncomfortable position before the movement begins. On weak spots would buy. STOCKS—Trading on a limited scale In the stock market this morning, and Irregularity in prl<e movements. The list showed considerable weakness with tho exception of St. Paul which contln ued to advance, selling at 182, the now high record on this movement. Weak ness In Brooklyn Rapid Transit, and tha Steel Issues, which were Inclined to drag the balance of the market wltl them. After tho noon hour, the mar ket became very dull. Tho advance In St. Paul Is on tho effort of the inside party t<> make tho rights look an at tractive as possible. The reports of the subsidiary companies of Amalgamated Copper make a fine showing, and on any renewal of activity tills htock will Hell much higher. L. J. ANDER80N & CO/8 DAILY MARKET LETTER, - NOW York. June IS.—-A reactionary tendency In the cotton future market today,, aue principally to profit taking and some selling on account of reports of showers In some sections, which have been needing rain. The Liverpool market was about as expected on the opening, with sales of 7,000 bales, but eased off during the session In re- sponBo to the easier fone In our mar ket. Tho markets as a whole have and light offerings. While the bears argue that the excellent condition of the crop will ultimately force prices lower, the bulls on the other hand con tinue to believe In the unusual con sumption and the necessity for all the cotton that can be produced from the present acreage, while experience In the ,000,000 bales Is likely and consequent shortage In supplies dur ing the next twelve months.

Only one pos sibility that favors the bulls, that be ing a serious calamity befalling the spring wheat crop, we naturally are In the face of the bearish statistical news, coupled with the optimistic out look from a world point of view, can not consistently advise buying wheat around the present level. CORN started higher on an advance of 7-8d In Liverpool, and on the report of very light acceptances of the coun try here. Receipts were not excessive. Oood buying by locals and prominent operators. The weakness In wheat caused considerable selling by com mission housee, who forced the market to under the previous cloee, but the tone throughout was relatively steady.
