The tone was uncertain, ow- lug IO tbs approaching notice day on July, but there waa a general feeling that around 10c the worst bad been discounted. With the rains In Texas the crop la plnced In n very good position and general reports are now of n natlafnctnry tenor.

On any advanco It la mora than likely that cotton will ba for aala nnlcaa wa have another bad turnof waather. New York, Jane 24—Thera was a bunt of liquidation soon aftor the opening of the stock market this morning that carried, prices down In a break. It was jam to come from pool, Inauranca and Indtridual aonreea. There waa no aqpport except wale down, *nd that prodaeod by abort waring. Tho opinion waa exnraaawl during the course of the aearion that tha only way tha present political situation could ba racon- cllcd waa through a HqnljUtlng market, which acema to be taking plan. Owing to tho conflicting nature of the various farters, however, we are of tho opinion that the safer poller will be to maintain a Mutrtl position.

New York, June 26.—There was no change In the esHentlal features of today's market from those of the previous days.
