July 23. —Cotton opened active on the New York exchange today, early prices ranging from 5 to 7 points higher as the result of the strong cables. There was little rain shown in the east ern belt, but this apparently had small influence. The steady buying of the Oc tober option by spot interests was a prominent feature in the initial trading, serving to check bear pressure in the new crop months. After the call the market became very steady. NEW YORK?" Quotations in cotton futures: _ I I I [11:001 Prev. (Open |HighJ Low (A M. |_Close.

By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, July 23. -Although price movements were irregular in the early transactions on the New York stock ex change today, the tone of the market was generally steady and the recessions that occurred were for the most part gained before the end of the first fifteen min utes of trading. On the other hand, these issues that opened at an advance gener ally lost their gains in the initial trading. The character of Washington dispatches giving prominence to the forecasts of the Stanley committee's report was used as an incentive for some selling >f Steel common, which was heavy, yielding % to 70-% and showing no rallying power. Reading, which sold ex-dividend 1% points at the opening, made a gain of %, which was followed by a decline of %. General Electric, after selling down a point, rallied to yesterday's closing price. Amalgamated Copper opened *% higher at 83%, but yielded % in the early trans actions. American issues in the London market were firm in tone, but narrow in range. The curb market opened steady.

NEW YORK, July 22—Improved weath er conditions over the cotton belt over Sunday and weak cables resulted in ac tive unloading at the opening of the cot ton market today. First prices ranged from 6 to 13 points lower. Following the call the market became unsettled and was from 10 to 12 points off from Satur day's prices. Commission houses were liberal sellers. During the afternoon trading some large professionals and a leading broker, who usually represents a large spot interest, showed aggressiveness by buying heavily, endeavoring to bid the market up. This checked the early decline, with prices ad vancing 3 to 5 points over the first qiyita tions. This buying was believed so be caused by the many anticipations of a bullish weeklj government report on weather. The market is entirely a weather object and will be governed by any changes, with an absence of rain In the eastern belt and good general showers in Texas, would undoubtedly have a de pressing effect upon the market. Warehouse stocks in New Y’ork today 112,146, certificated 99,327. At the close the market was barely steady, with prices showing a net decline of 5 to 10 points lower than the final quo tations of Saturday.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS, July 22.-Weather conditions over Sunday Improved greatly. Outside of northwest Texas there was practically no rain except in a few coast districts. Partly cloudy to fair and warm weather over the belt. Indications are for part cloudy to fair weather, except un settled and probably showers in northwest Texas and Oklahoma and a few coast showers east of Texas. Liverpool showed further easiness with futures at one time 8 points lower than due; spots 5 points lower. Our market declined in the early trading to 12.44 for October, although the demand for con tracts was good all the way down. Feel ing is bullish: confidence In a large crop Is lacking. The lateness of the crop, pros pects for a bullish weekly government weather report tomorrow, and a bullish August bureau report give bulls the ad vantage. Foreign politics is the one dark cloud at present.

NEWS AND GOSSIP Os the Fleecy Staple NEW YORK. July 22.—Carpenter, Bag got & Co.: The Memphis Commercial- Appeal says: During past week cotton crop duplicated its performance of pre vious week, and made progress west of the river and lost ground east of the river. Western progress was at least bal anced by eastern deterioration and prob ably outwiched. In some parts of the section east of the river there was prog ress, due to the scattered nature of the rains. In large portions of states nearest the Mississippi river, the precipitation has not been excessive, and in these dis tricts the crop made good advance, but the deterioration in the portions where rainfall was too heavy, added to the al most solid deterioration farther eakt ami overbalanced the gains. -West of the river the crop made excellent progress, especially in Oklahoma and Texas, where the splendid conditions of the last fort night was maintained. A drouth is threatened in parts of this territory, but so far no actual damage has resulted from the dry weather. Plants are fruit ing splendidly and are clean well culti vated fields. Complaints of boll weevil are few with very little damage so far. Complaints of boll weevil are few with very little damage so far.

FEM SECURITIES OFFEREM Large Interests Accumulate Bulk of Shares and Hold for Better Prices. By CHARLES W. STORM. NEW YORK, July 22. The stock mar ket opened today with a display of pro nounced strength, enarly all of the im portant issues making fractional gains in the initial trading. Union Pacific was one of the most important of the early feat ures, advancing % to 169%. Brisk de mand was in evidence in many other rail roads, including Erie, Reading and St. Paul. A significant feature of the trading was the fact that the inital sales-were followed by further gains. This was taken by the traders to mean that the market had as sumed a broader tendency. Among the other early price changes were the following: Steel common up '’j. Amalgamated Copper up 1%, Erie com mon up %, Reading up 1%, Erie preferred up 11,.I 1 ,. American railroad shares dis played a cheerful tone in the London mar ket. In the late forenoon large sales were made in Steel common, checking the up ward movement in that stock and a sim ilar supply was noted in many other is sues. The copper shares were in fairly good demand. A number of specialties were also active and strong. American Tobacco moved up 6% and American Snuff 5 points and I’. Lorlllard 2 points. Trading was almost at a standstill after midday ami there were no price changes of consequence. There was no demand for stocks in evidence, and what few transactions occurred reflected merely the shifting of positions by room traders. Canadian Pacific was heavy. The curb market opened irregular. Stock quotations: _____ I il-ast) ClosJPrev STUCKS IHighlLow.lSale.l Bld.'Cl'se Amal. Copper.* 84 | 83%| 83%l 83%| 83% Am. Ice Sec... 26 26 26 25 26 Am. Stig.
