DAILY MARKET LETTER, B ew York, July 18.—While It woe goner- expected a clear weather map would follow the area of high pressure moving In from the South Atlantic coaet region, the morning weather map showed heavy rains In sections of Georgia and points east of the river. At msny places In Georgia be- .ot considered favorable and shorts were nollned to buy In cotton sold on the decline yesterday. Tuls buying led to a rally of 6 points after the opening and the volume of cotton for sale was not such as to weigh upon the market. Liverpool met the local decline, but later recovered, as shorts cov ered there. While figures on the crop con dltton were hardly as bullish ns had beer i expected, there la still an underlying feel ing that the coming report on August 3 will compare rather unfavorably with the high figures of two years ego, and for this reason there Is no general disposition to. look fr a radical change in the market, .ns the coming six or eight weeks are of course the most critical ones In the entire growing season. A large crop Is needed for next year, and until that Is assured operators will be rnther cautions about over-extending their Interests on the short side when any damage to the crop would bring about a sharp advance. It is likely to continue a 'ping market. ..ew York, July 18.—Pressure waa put upon the stock market early this morning, soon after the opening, and the professalonal crowd off and on the floor quickly offered down prices, many being short at lower levels, but the ma jority deeming a short turn probable after the elimination of shortage by the advance. The market declined, accord ing to wiseacres, because of the dis turbances In Russia, which weakened foreign markets, and also because of black rust reported, which we think exaggerated. The money situation continues to be put in better shape, and patience will probably well reward the traders who are courageous enough to buy when the market looks weak dur ing these reactionary tendencies, which should be frequent owing to the high ly professional state existing. The beat Information Is that this Is a period of re-adjustment and digestion, ana when It shall have been accomplished there will be a broad market at higher levels. We think the trading position in the meantime the best but with a prefer ence for the long side for turns at least during the hammering by the board element — “ a time.

FLOOR IRAOERS SELLING STOCKS Caused Decline and Uneasi ness at the First Hour. LONDON AGAIN SELLER Credited With Selling 20,000 Shares on Balance Help ed Force Reaction. By rrivnto Leased Wire. New York, July 18 Heaviness In foreign markets, due mainly to the unsettlement at Russian affairs, was the principal factor in our stock ex change dealings today. The refusal of th esar, as outlined In the morning dispatches, to accept a policy of com promise which w ou ’d conciliate the powerful element* of opposition to the present government was regarded as very serious on all the European bourses. Russian bonds broke very sharply, and In the uncertain state of London's finances thl* was enough to cause a decline In all other depart ments. American stocks were' down less, than the average, but the slight losses reported over the cable Influ enced more than anything else the opening here. Prices starting lower, fell off In all a point or thereabouts for the active Issues, and then ceased to move at all. Stocks seemed to be offered freely enough when bid for, but were not forthcoming In any quantity on the decline. After the first hour trading was extremely dull. The stock market opened under some pressure, which resulted In declines arer aging from H6HC throughout virtually the whole list. Trading at the outsat was rath er actlre In the more prominent railroad and Industrial shares. After the opening trading, the market becams duller and was still beavy. Tbe movement during the Drat hour was disappointing to those who turned to the bull side yesterday. The room started In selling stocks nt the opening, and de clines that resulted cabled an unenslnesa In many quarters and Induced moderate li quidation of speculstlrs account.
