There was. however, not that Indolence In hull ranks which made the .ring so Impressive to little soiling yester day. More resistance to the decllue and . ■ disposition to take hold of It again were I distinctly lu evidence ns a result -primarily : of a critical change lu weather pro*p«-ctH. i There Is a chance for the cold wave over- ; lying, western regions to push eastward and give more extensive rnlus and low temperatures. Weather conditions during the past twenty-four hours were generally stood. Partly cloudy weather and scattered light to moderate showers predominated. Of news of Interest there Is the advice from lildnlgo county, Texas, of tho gath ering of the first new bale for the season plants. I- iree is Fall River advised the pur- total chase by M. C. D.

What Is to be done In order to bring public Into the stock market? A call has been mode, addressed to the specialists, who are Invited to make their wares more tentlon to the general market. Town Topics: Tbe attitude of the ad ministration In forcing the anthracite coal roads Into court to defend action under the anti trust statutes and the belief that similar measures will before long be taken In connection with the Horrlman merger, say nothing of embarrassments Tn**varfous lines of manufacturing nnd mercantile en deavor, have evidently determined the bank ing interests thnt have been back of the • ->ward movement In the market to cease jelr bullish endeavors for the time being. Consequently the market will, In our opin ion, continue a professional affair for tbe next few days with the advantage on the bear side. Support will be present, but only on the scale-down and not aggressive unless necessary to prevent demoralisation. In view of the rather unfavorable bank state ment outlook and the other considerations mentioned, we believe that stocks can be side. Bear points are out on Pennsylvania and Rending. Canadian Taclflc may continue buoyant •>a extra dividend talk, but we much prefer Great Northern, which Is worth as much and is being steadily accumulated by in side Interests. With fair weather wheat and cotton should go lower, and_we would buy only on weak spots for moderate profits. ATLANTA MARKETS. 6UHD-flcuie. iiuiiw:. LIVE POULTRY-Hens, active. 42%0«c each; ducks.

SEASONABLE DROP WEATHER BROUGHT OUT LIQUIDATION; New Onlenna, Jnne 13.—The Ttraei-Demo- ..nt: “Senaonable crop weather brought out enough liquidation of the Ion* Interest ■ glte the prl ce opponent an opening, and - rumor of trouble In New York s dry goods district started heavy selling. Tho rumor was predicted apparently on deductions drawn by some Wall street 8ber1ock Holmes to the effect tbot a request for ad ditional fire Insurance made by a lending dece goods house meant an accumulation Jn the dry goods stocks. Fair weather and sttnshlno are undoubtedly Improving the ‘ iintlou as regards to tho crop, but there .. much danger In assuming that nil tbs damage done la undergoing repair.”-IIay* ward, Vick A Clark.
