SHARP BREAK
IN». UOTTON
Further Decline in Prices Sat
urday. December Off $3.35
Bale From June Ist.
New York.—There was a further sharp
break in the cotton market today with
December contracts selling off to 12.43
or $3.35 per bale belowe the high record
of June 1. Favorable weather, improv
ing crop accounts, weak cables and
gloomy reports from ‘milt centers seem
ed to Inspire the selling movement which
was active and more or less general.
Closing prices were barely steady and
from eight to fifteen points net lower.
The opening was steady at a decline
of three to six points in sympathy with
Liverpool and in response to overnight
buying orders. There was a good de
mand at the decline and prices rallied a
few points right after the call. The
selling however, seemed to be more urg
ent with bears more confident than at
any previous time since the decline
started and the market soon became
weak and unsettled. It was reported
that members of the local trade who had
left here a few days ago feeling bullish
on crop and price prospects were send
ing in very favorable reports as to crop
conditions in the eastern belt and part
of the local selling was attributed to
these advices. It was also rumored that
some of the larger Southern long in
terests were liquidating on the decline
and a good many stop orders were un
covered as new crop positions broke be
low the 12 1-2-cent level. Rallies of 7
or 8 points occurred after a break of
some 10 to 17 points but were not main
tained and last prices were the lowest
of the day on new crop deliveries.
Leading spot interests were again good
buyers of July but offerings of that
position were heavier and the price
broke to 12.60. The selling here was
doubtless promoted' bey the favorable
weather outlook for over Sunday.

TRADE THIS WEEK
New York.—Rradstreet’s today says:
"Excellent all around crop advices con
tinue to extend the circTe of optimism
which widens at a greater rate than ac
tual buying.' However, evidences ot
improvement in trade are accumulating
In the surplus crop growing sections
which is in sharp contrast to that no
ticed in the essentially industrial regions.
But over a large area distribution at
retail Is better, wholesale trade Is look
ing up, demand for iron and steel is
larger collections are somewhat easier,
traffic on western railroads is Increasing
and heavy saleß of wheat for export are
reported. Activity is the keynote of
northwestern reports, returns from the
winter wheat belt are assuring, in the
tpidwest Interior distributors are buying
more freely and trade news from the
South, though somewhat mixed. Is more
encouraging in the main because of the
favorable trend of crop reports. On the
other hand trade in the east develops
rather slowly and a similar statement
applies to the Pacific northwest.
"For the week; Bank clearings 13.-
139,180.000, a decrease of 4.5 per cent
from Inst year; wheat exports 3,685.306
bushels, against 5,328,428 last year; fail
ures 249. against 235.

11 LEVEL FOR
WEEKJI». 0.
Close at Loss of From 9 to 19
Points. Selling From Both
Sides of Market.
New Orleans. —Softness developed In
the cotton market on the week-end ses
sion and prices were sent down to new
low levels fofr the week and at the pres
ent downward movement. Selling or
ders came from both sides of the market
and were based partly on
trade accounts from foreign mill cen
ters and partly on the continued im
provement in from the cotton
belt. The weekly statistical statement
also called forth some little bearish
comment, shorts making much of the
point that the visible supply of Ameri
can cotton is now 2.400.97 S bales, against
2,198,086 a year ago.
At the lowest of the day July was
21 points under yesterday’s last quota -
tins while the new crops were 11 under.
The close was at a loss of nine to nine
teen points, the whole list considered.
Liquidation of long cotton was In heavy
volume at times and the fresh buying for
long account, which has been a feature
of the decline thus far, was not so much
in evidence as during preceding sessions
of the week.

week In "finance
New York.—Speculators In stocks
marked time this week Trading was
dull and movements of prices were
small. Although the market showed
symptoms of heaviness at times, the un
dertone In the main was good. Hesls
tancq Wiis due largely to the expectation
of an early decision In the freight rates
case, pending which operators feared to
make heavy committments.
The abnormally heavy flow of gold to
Europe continued, the movement reach
ing such proportions that Its Influence
began to show more distinctly In the
stock market. Demnnd sterling broke
sharply from the recent high level but
exportation of gold continued
The political outlook abroad Improved
and the eheerfttl tone of foreign markets
was reflected In buying here for Euro
pean account. At home the news was
varied Of chief Interest was the crop
reports which were of the best. Busi
ness conditions wers still unsatisfactory.
Mexican affairs weighed on the market
occasionally but the general inclination
was to await definite indications of the
outcome of mediation.
HP LEVEL OF
WEEK IK STOCKS
Rock Island Dominating
Feature of Saturday’s Trad
ing. Greater Cheerfulness
Prevails.
New York.—The Rock Tsland re-or
ganization plan announced after the
close of business on Friday which if
carried to fruition promises to be the
most complete financial overhauling
ever projected in the annals of Ameri
can railways, again dominated business
on the stock exchange today. The se
curities of the original or operating com
pany, which are clearly to benefit un
der the terms of the now plan, made
material gains while the common and
preferred shares of the Rock Island Co.,
one of the two holding companies which
arc to he wiped out, fell to new low rec
ords. In final dealings the list broke
away from the Rock Islands and under
the lead of Union Pacific and United
States Steel advanced to the highest
level of the week. Trading was how
ever of a professional character and In
the main represented the usually weekly
settlement of contracts. Sentiment was
inclined towards greater cheerfulness.
London and the continent offered lit
tle comfort to this market, the former
inclining to irregularity with weakness
and hesitation at Paris and Berlin.
The drain of gold from this port wns
again reflected in the weekly bank
statement which showed an actual cash
loss of about $8,000,000 due entirely to
that movement.
The bond market wns steady with
total sales (par value) $1,590.000. Gov
ernment bonds were unchanged on call
during the week.

Close the Grossglockner;
Alpinists Alarmed
Bsrlm. — German and Austrian alpin
ist* arc alarmed by the news that the
Grossglockner and its surriundlng re
gion are to be practically closed to tour
lsts owing to the fact hat the whole
territory has been sold to a rich Cap
italist of Bochum, a Prussian mining
and iron center. The Grossglockner
group is the favorite uoint of the Ty
rol for high mountain climbers; and the
Uerrnan-Austrlan Alpine Society has
erected one or two refuge huts on it.
The members of that society are now
lining tho columns of German and
Austrian papers with their protests
against the closing of the mountain
paths and roads. Their Indignation has
only been increased by the well-au
thenticated report that the buyer in
tends to stock the region with the Ibex
and convert it Into an exclusive hunt
ing preserve.
The Bochum capitalist, however, has
declared that he means to leave a cer
tain part of the region open to th® pub
lic.

Divorce Laws to Be a
Subject of Legislation
London.—Reform in the divorce laws
of the country is to lie a subject of leg
islation in the near future. Lord Gored
has a reform Ml! beforo tho house of
lords. This measure, however, Is by no
means drastic enough to satisfy (he
strong ami Influential divorce law reform
union, which is suggesting a second
measure. This provides for perfect
equity between the sexes. It would en
able any married man or woman lo sue
for a divorce on any of the following
grounds
(A)-Misconduct, (b) Desertion for
three years and upwards, (e) Cruelly,
(d) Incurable Insanity after five yenrs’
confinement, (e) habitual drunkenness,
(t) Imprisonment under commuted dealli
sentence.
As the law stands at present even
misconduct, unaccompanied by proved
cruelty and desertion. Is not a sufficient
ground for the breaking of the matrimo
nial tie.
