Traders here appeared to be guided more by th< weather reports from the belt rather than by the cables. Weather conditions over night were as nice as any one could desire. The market held rather steady before the call, but Immediately displayed con- Iderable weakness when the South turned a seller and from many points «-ame advices claiming that conditions were not so bad as indicated by the Government report. A Liverpool cable read: "Bureau dis credited, but many have temporary ef fect. Market will be lower if crop ac counts continue favorable." July seemed In active demand during he first fifteen minutes, but quickly showed depression through heavy offer ings, dropping 10 points to 11.44, against an opening *.f 11.54 August declined 4 points from the opening, while new crop positions were under pressure and re ceded some 4 to 7 points from the in itial range. Sentiment continues bearish and the t ing Inclined to supply the market with plenty of cotton. offerings were ab sorbed mainly by brokers with spot ‘souse connection. Regardless of the low percentage the Government gave the crop yesterday, the ring continued to liquidate. The aver age trader expressed the belief that there has been considerable improve ment in the condition since May 25, which private reports confirm. During the afternoon session, July in creased its decline to 11.41, a net de cline of 13 points from the opening; other positions followed the decline moderately. About the only buying in evidence was attributed to some trade absorption and scattered short cover ing, which prevented a more serious break The talent, however, is not in clined to take on any large lines, and Jn the absence of outside business and the holiday in New Orleasn, business was only moderate.

The government figure, 79.1, in dicating the condition of the crop on May 25, spread momentary consterna tion among shorts, and thereafter, most of them attended strictly to their own business, which, 1n the main, related to the covering up of outstanding interest. The Government’s idea of the condition of the crop ten days ago certainly does not harmonize with the talent’s idea to-day. "On May 25 a lengthy period of dry weather had not fully come to an end. Many sections were complaining of re tarded germination, of the necessity for repeated replanting, of a prospective early start changed into a late start. The talent knew all this, as the facts had been exploited day after day. Then the rains came and big crop expecta tions took on renewed life. Recently most excellent reports have come in from Texas and Oklahoma particularly and from other sections as well. Under the circumstances, the wish being father the thought and current advices hav ing inspired increasingly optimistic crop views, the ring began to count on a bureau figure of between 82 and 83. Consequently, most operators were sharply disappointed when the figures came 79.1. WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT. WASHINGTON, June 3.—The greatest excess in mean temperature was over northwestern Texas.

NEW YORK, June 3.—Strength In I-ondon gave Canadian Pacific a gain of 2% at the opening of the New York stock market to-day, although after ward this issue* lost part of Its ad vance. However, it continued as a leader and practically dominated the sentiment felt toward all active securi ties. The tone was nervous and uncertain. Reports that the slump in Canadian Pa cific. which s^nt it to a new low level, nearly 70 points below its high record of last summer. wa$ caused by the con stant calling of loans abroad, gave way to the belief that, now that the Balkan war is over, the situation will steadily improve. Among the declines here were Ana conda Copper, %; United States Steel common, %; Utah Copper. >4; Southern Pacific, %: Missouri Pacific. ^4: Great Northern preferred, %; American Smelt ing, %.

To have the smallest visible supply of corn for June 1 in over 34 years with the crop the largest on record, is the most surprising feature of the corn trade. The bulls argue that it Is greatly in their favor, while the bears said it cut little figure, as they believe that there are larger re serves back in the country." NEW YORK PRODUCE.
