Shows fair and warmer in western portion of the Atlantics. Cloudy and warm, in the Atlantics and Ten nessee. No rain except in Tennessee and parts of North Carolina, where it will be beneficial. The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: "Favorable crop reports came from maxi} quarters, and the cotton market declined. Of course, u wave of bearish sentiment passed ovefthe rings and low-price people discussed the out look for declines in more or less confi dent tones. Ten cents for new crops was talked of as a sure thing, nine cents as a probability, eight cents as likely, and, according to one lone bear, seven cents as a possibility. All the while the bull faction kept quiet and permit ted the spell of depression to run its course. At the dose underlying strength seemed to develop, and students of the market expressed the belief that near future fluctuations would range within 20 points. "The weather over Sunday was very favorable, temperatures were higher and. on the face of things, the crop seemed to be in a fair way to make seasonable progress. The man on the fence, while admitting the presence of much more favorable climatic condition*, was in clined to believe that the flood of favor able crop advices, coming right at the close of the period on which the Gov ernment’s condition bulletin on Juno 2 Is to be based, traces some of its in spiration to a possible need of an offset to any relatively low condition that might have been reported on May 25 from the less favorable sections." * * * Weld makes the condition of the crop 84. * * * McFadden, Parrott and Riordan were ihe leading buyers to-day. Mohr and Hentz probably the best sellers. Wall Street coverts! through* Riordan. ♦ * * Riordan was also a big buyer of the new crop positions for the Pell interests. * * * Memphis wires: "Generally fair weather will prevail in the cotton States except In the extreme northeastern sec tions, w’here showers are likely. Good weather in the central belt will be quickly followed by warmer. No rain of consequence has fallen. Favorable map.” SPOT COTTON MARKET. Atlanta, quiet; middling 11%. Athens, steady; middling 11%.

Most issues shaded at the opening of the stock mar ket to-day, although others gave a fair appearance of strength, which caused a show of irregularity in the list. (’anadlan Pacific opened at 233%, for a loss of %, but made a partial recov ery. United States Steel common opened with a loss of %, apparently on published reports of a price decline in Europe. Later the loss was made up and tiie issue scored a gain-. Brooklyn Rapid Transit shaded frac tionally in spite of the dividend in crease. Amalgamated Copper, after opening unchanged, declined fraction ally. Other Issues which sold off were Louisville and Nashville ■%, Union Pa cific •%, Southern Pacific %, Pennsyl vania Railroad %. California Petroleum %. Great Northern preferred % .and Erie %. Reading shaded %. but later recov ered and scored a net gain of %. There w^a.s* renewed pressure against St Louis and San Francisco. The curb market Was dull. Americans in London w f ere irregular. A downward movement started after the first half hour and weakness con tinued to develop during the entire fore noon. Copper was down % at 74%. Canadian Pacific fell to 233, a decline of 1 %. At 152% Union Pacific was off Great Northern was off % and Steel fell %. Southern Pacific declined more than a point. Proportional losses were sustained in a number of other issues. Call money loaned at 2%. Chief interest in the last hour cen tered upon St. Louis and San Fran cisco shares in consequence of receiver ship rumors from St. Louis. The com- morf fell % to 5%, but most weakness was shown in the preferred. The first preferred dropped 7 points from 32 to 25. The second preferred declined 2% to 9%.

Light in spots, but enough to end drouth talk for the pres ent. W’heat in big producing sections of Illinois promises unusually heavy rata of yield and this rain practically makes it. Crop is lighter in eastern counties, but fully up to the average on the In diana side of the Wabash River South of Terre Haute the crop is spotted with the average hardly up to the usual promise. "Oats consistently poor all across Illi nois; rather better on Indiana side, but distinctly a poor outlook. The rains will help, but crop in Missouri, Illinois and southwest Indiana will be a very short one regardless of future weather. The damage suffered when oats were germinating can not be repaid. Corn planting practically done and conditions favorable to a good start. Farmers are not making any contracts for delivery of new grain. "Plenty of old corn everywhere, but oats stock reported light." White City Park Now Open Statement of the Condition of the WEST END BANK Located at Atlanta.
