By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK. July 24.—Business at the
opening of the stock market today was
exceedingly quiet, and prices were a
shade lower than at yesterday's close.
The leading rails yielded from ’« to %,
while a majority of the industrials de
clined about %. The biggest drop in the
list was scored by National Biscuit, which
fell 6 points to 135.
Erie common, which has been a strong
feature In the recent trading, reflected
some liquidation in the early transactions,
receding % to 353,. Utah Copper on two
transactions fell % to 61%. Some of the
other price changes were: Steel common
up %. Amalgamated Copper off %, Smelt
ing up %, Atchison up 14. Union Pacific
off %, Southern Pacific up %.
Part of the initial declines were later
recovered and at the end of the first
quarter of an hour of trading, the lead
ing stocks were being quoted at practi
cally the same prices at which they closed
yesterday.
American issues were quiet and firm in
the London market. The steel issues were
slightly easier. The curb market opened
steady.

" I
NEW YORK. July 23. - Cotton opened
active on the New S’ork exchange today,
early prices ranging from 5 to 7 points,
higher as the result of tne 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.
During the afternoon trading the mar
ket closed only a few points different
from the opening. Business was being
done moderately, and buying was of good
character, coming from some leading
spot interest, which has been the case for
some time past. Little cotton was sold
by the ring crowd on better weather re
ports. The phenomenal strength to the
market is due to dry weather in Texas.
The market has been very narrow and
very little changes in prices can be looked
for until the bureau report is issued on
August 2.
At the close the market was steady
with a net gain in prices of 9 to 11 points
from the final quotations of Monday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. July 23.—Liverpool
lost 5 English points in parity since Fri
day, which was recovered today. Spots
quoted 4 points higher: sales 10.000 bales.
English consols showed a further sharp
decline and London says that the country
is impressed by the serious warning con
tained in the speech of the lord of the
admiralty to the effect that Germany is
ready for war. This continued decline
in the. leading government security and
constant agitation can not be helpful to
trade.
A cable from Liverpool said: "Market
advanced on reports of serious damage
to crop in Alabama, Mississippi and Geor
gla. The weather map shows favorable
conditions. Generally fair except over
North Carolina. No rain, except scattered
showers in Louisiana. Mississippi, east
Tennessee and North Carolina.“
indications are for partly cloudy to
fair weather: possibly some isolated show
ers in the central and eastern states, and
good prospects for unsettled weather and
for rains coming on west Texas and Okla
homa. It is remarkable, however, that
even temperatures keep in the western
states, with no excess yet. Only two
stations touched 100 degrees, whereas, as
in other years, many sections showed
above that mark for many days.
Manchester cables: “Manchester mar
ket strong, but high prices are checking
trade.” Our market gained about 6 points
In the early trading on the strength of
Liverpool, but did not hold well Advices
from New York are by no means so uni
formly in favor of the market. Anticipa
tion of a bullish August bureau Is per
haps the strongest factor in sustaining
values.
San Antonio advises the ginning of five
new bales, and that picking will become
more general in a week.

Hammering Forces Several
Moderate Declines—Reading
Rallies After Drop.
By CHARLES AV. 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 (lie
Stanley committee’s report was used as
an incentive for some selling of Steel
common, which was heavy, yielding % to
70% and showing no rallying power.
Reading, which sold ex-divfdend 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
8.3%. but yielded % in the early trans
actions. American issues in the London
market were firm in tone, but narrow in
range.
Steel common was under pressure in
tlte late forenoon, declining 'i. Similar
losses were recorded in Reading, Union
Pacific and St. Paul. There was con
tinued accumulation of Erie The copper
stocks were in good demand.
The curb maraet opened steady.
Business was extremely dull after mid
day. being left almost exclusively to pro
fessional traders who made several at

Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK. July I*3. It Is believed
that big bulls have liquidated their lines
and are taking the bear side for a turn.
Anticipations are for a bullish bureau
report August 2. Many say the crops in
the eastern and central belts have de
teriorated considerably. Reports are that
Texas and Oklahoma have improved.
However, they have Just about held their
own.
The strike at New Bedford is causing
anxiety in the cotton market.
The feature of the cotton trading
at present is the phenomenal strength in
spots.
Dallas wires: “Texas and Oklahoma
generally clear, not so warm.’’
Browne, Drakeford *< Co., Liverpool, ca
ble: America and trade buying; job-
bers buying in early sales."
Some buying on the dry western belt
was done this morning. Mitehell. I-rot -

buyers; selling scattered.

NEW ORLEANS, July 23. Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows fair in
entire belt, except few cloudy spots in
central states and North Carolina No
rain, except light showers in San Antonio,
Houston. Mississippi and Louisiana
Map indicates part cloudy to fair in
belt, except increasing prospects for un
settled rains coming on northwest Texas
and Oklahoma next 36 hours.
The weekly weather report favorable,
except Louisiana, Georgia, Mississippi and
Oklahoma.
Taylor. Texas, says In consequence of
recent rains, the San Gabriel river, five
miles north of there is now on a four-foot
rise.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat s
summary: Arguments on both sides ap
pear to have lost their force, and some
new Issues must apparently develop be
fore speculative activity will be witnessed
on the grand scale so pleasing to the
brokers and to traders generally. Senti
ment in the market is about evenly bal
anced. an«l the gnod reports that are com
ing from Texas, and the bad reports from
the central belt and the Atlantic's are
monotonously uninteresting to the profes
sional element. Observant cotton men, re
turning from Texas, bring glowing ac
counts of crop conditions in that state,
while others, equally observant, bring dis
tressing news as to conditions in Missis
sippi. Alabama. Georgia and portions of
the Carolinas. In sheer desperation over
such a perplexing state of affairs, students
of the situation are paying more heed tn
the dry goods reports from the leading
markets. According to those reports, the
mills seem confident that prices are up to
Slav up. and are receiving orders for de
livery only up to October 1, not wishing
to take any chances on the price of the
raw material advancing to a much higher
level between now and next fall. These
reports lay stress upon the fact that while
the crop grown in 1911 was enormously
large, it left much to be desired of the
way of quality and grade, and incidentally
light is thrown on the urgent demand re
cently noted for good grades of cot
ton. These observations apply principally
to American mills, the foreign spinner
having shown rare good judgment in lay
ing in full supplies when the better grades
w**re to be had.

CHICAGO, July 23. —Wheat opened
strong, from % to I%c higher on the va
rious options, the latter on July, due to
higher Liverpool cables and wet weather
over the Northwest, which will delay har
vest. Shorts were heavy buyers, while
offerings were light.
Corn was % to %c higher on short cov
ering and in sympathy with wheat.
iiats advanced to %c, the latter on
July, wet weather Northwest causing lib
eral short covering.
Hogs products were strong and 5 to 10c
higher, with hogs advanced 5c at the
yards.
Wheat closed today strong in tone and
with prices ranging from l%c to 2%c
higher. Black rust reports, unfavorable
weather in Canada and firm cables con
tributed to the strength. Short covering,
however, boosted prices more than all
the other influences.
Corn was I%c to 2%c better at the
finish. Complaints so drouth damage from
the Southwest and higher cash prices
caused the futures to advance
Oats were very strong and final prices
showed gains ranging from %c to 4%c.
Wet weather in the belt, which will in
terfere with harvesting, was the main
factor.
Provisions were Irregular. The range
was narrow Pork closed 5c to 7%c high
er. Lard and ribs were unchanged to 5c
better.
