There was a good deal of talk on the street after the opening about floods In the West having caused a heavy tone to the market In the early trading, but on the board watchful traders thought that the heaviest flood wns In Wall street. It was generally remarked that the room had been supplied with more stocks ull day yesterday than It could take, except at concessions In prices. The statement was made that a big life Insurance company sold 50,000 shares yesterday and will deliver the stock today. Other selling of a simi lar character Is reported from many quarters, and In many Issues. While the demand slackened mate rlally this morning, many of yester day's buyers were disposed to hurried ly close their accounts because of fears of a possible reaction. The heaviness was most pronounced In the stocks that have had the most sensational ad vances within the lest few days. Other Issues that have had a steady and quiet upward movement continue. Room traders who took on aggressive position on the be(ir side of the market yesterday offered stocks freely all around the room during the first hour, but nn the hour drew lo a close a stead ier feeling developed, with buying or ders coming In checked the reaction and causing some material rallies.

Liverpool has nhown n tendency to rental the New York decline all along, and no doubt would welcome an advance at thi« time, but the ftplnnern there do not care to take the lead In a situation of thin kind. The market neema to have pretty well discounted even the favor able prospects, and as the crqp Is by no means made there will probably be many scares between this time and such time as the spinners have ob tained sufficient supplies of new cotton to ease the situation. Boll weevil and shedding are now becoming familiar complaints In the dally reports, and will probably have considerable weight around 9c cotton.
