For seme time there has been a strong; con- ,(tlon anionic well Informed members t! the Cotton Indian that the new cotton futures act would not be upheld tj the Supreme Court of the United 6'atcs If properly attacked. Aside from the question of public, poller Involved, the one technical fea ture that the bill purported to.be a rtrenua measure and that It crlflnated In the Senate Instead of In the House !i believed to be enough to cause Its innulment. This feature Is said to have teen considered by Chairman Lever at the time and It was his view and also the view of some of the other lawyers la Congress that this objection would tm be sustained merely on the ground that the bill had been Introduced In the Senate. There are members of the Cotton Ex change who would rather see a com iromlte than a fight which would cre ate additional bitterness toward the ex change. It Is believed by many that If the law should be declared unconstitu tional It would be merely a signal on the part of Southern members of Con ptei to whip through another bill which loald be practically annlhllatlva.

A con tinuation of the unpropltlou weather might bring about vigorous competition '" "vmwuo miners and foreigners ror the nrst movement of the sound wheat. It Is evident that foreigners are draw ing upon their visible supply, which Is ngured at approximately 82,000,000 bushels, against 88,000,000 a year ago and 80,000,000 bushels two years ago. The world's wheat exports for the week ro hoi iiKeiy to exceed 9,000,000 bush els, although tlw requirements of Ira SSS'i ounlr' nre estimated at 11,. 000,000 bushels weeklv. A feature of yesterdays market was """""ncy or the July option at Winnipeg. At one stage that delivery was 10 cents higher and at a basis 18 cents above Tuesday's low point. There was short covering for Kngllsh Inter TJ . at wlnnP'T. nd some assertions that crop conditions were less favora ble. Cut worms were complained of and It was understood that the cool weather had retarded the growth of the plant. Still the belief prevails that the American and Canadian Northwvet In entering their critical periods are main taining meir promise ror a record wheat outturn this season. CornThe fractional upturns during the early dealings were founded on the light to heavy showers In parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa. An official State renort from Mtaanitrl said that the crop start was poor over large area, urop advices from other western States were quite As bad especially those from Iowa. The sneni. latlve demand was freely suimlled. how. eer. and the list failed to advance as much as was expected. The forecast for further showers over the night did not check the subsequent decline. Offerings were scattered, but some selling came from Interests In clone touch with the Argentine situation. Of ferings of Argentine corn at New Tork were again of fair proportions nt 71 '4 to 72 cents, against domestic corn values of from 80 to 83 cents. The clow of the list was at about the low of the session with sentiment more confuted than had been the case for some time. Oats The short covering on the rains In the West and on rumors of export business was not extensive. Sentiment continued rather bearish. According to Crop Expert Snow the official crop re port on July 8 may Indicate an out' turn of ,100,000,000 hushets more than the June report, which would mean a yield close to the record of 1912, when 1,418,000,000 bushels was harvested. The cash house buying of 300.000 bush els, which was credited to foreigners. was said to be against old buslneses. Provisions Some of the large packers were on the selling side yesterday.

A Firm Position. ' The action of the general market yes terday In the face of the unsettling break of 8 points In United States nubber afforded little encouragement to thoss working for strenuous results on the decline. The Ilubber break was tho Incident of the day. llccause of Its un expectedness not that further decline of a moderate nature had not been pre saged In the recent action of the stock, but because Its unusual sharpness was unexplained by anything either specific or of general market condition the spectacle of the fading away of the stock was ona to engender nervousness and disquiet In the general list. How stalwart the technical as well as the sentimental position of the market now Is was demonstrated to the satisfaction of the believers Jn a forthcoming steady upward movetrjent. Mocks of standard character, toward which the tide of speculative popularity Is turning more strongly every day, found good favor, saw little recession and responded In healthy manner to the modest and care ful but confident buying that appeared on small recessions. The effect of such a break Iti anything 'but a strongly es tablished market, It was thought by many, would have been of serious n.ituro and the occasion of general liquidation. mailing. The drop In nubber had all Uie ap pearances of frightened, stampede sell ing by the smalt nnd moderate sited holder of the commission house. It was 110 market for the liquidation of stock by the big holder with Inside Interim tlon. The steady, unexplained selling for some days that preceded the sharp decline of yesterday had more the ear marks of tho big seller getting out un der favorable conditions. It was divi dend uncertainty and fright, not as surance that the dividend would lie re duced or passed, that made for the greatest unsettlemcnt. Until yesterday nnd the day preceding It dividend re duction talk had hardly been heard. There was, however, much emphasis on the good business conditions In the rub ber Industry, war demand, better domes tic business and the prosperity ot the company's plantations In -Sumatra. The fair talk of conditions waa the more puaxllng when every day saw quiet liquidation of stock on n good sited scale. When, unexpectedly, talk of cutting the 6 per cent, dividend to 4 per cent, .or of passing It altogether made Itself a market factor, the bottom dropped out of the market temporarily yesterday, without very much of a short Interest to support It. Them were ru mors yesterday of forced selling of the stock by a very prominent holder, who Is reported to have lost a large sum in the collapse of Rock Island, but this was not generally credited. The Rubber Dividend, Little Information one way or the other about possible action on the divi dend waa forthcoming from the com pany's offices. John D. Carberry, as sistant secretary of the company, said : "Officers of the company do not know who started the selling nor have they any explanation for It. A statement of earnings la being prepared and will be presented to the executive committee and the directors next week. Until that time no statement will be made about the dividend." In the face or this lack of Information the Stock Exchange men recalled and commented freely upon the optlmlstlo remarks by Col. Colt, presf dent of the company, upon the declara. tlon or the dividends lost October at a time when atome companies were putting their dividends in the form of scrip. Tne dividends (preferred nnd common) have been amply earned." said Col. Colt at that tlmn. "The finances of the company being in an easy condition. with is. 000.000 cash on hand. I Ih nk the action, of the board la not only conserva tive, but one that Is entitled to com mendatton In thee times of war and financial streets. The division of f 1,700, 000 at this time among the 15,000 stock holders will, I am satisfied, do much good and be most thankfully received." The annual report Issued on March 4 made a good Impression, showing 8 per cent. earnt on the stock. From B5T4, nt which the stock waa then selling. witliln 4 points or the low of the year. it began Immediately to rise, reaching mv on April 14. -me low yesterday waa 04 !i. Foreign flrlllngr. Foreign selling la the popular exDla- nation of every decline sine the Brit ish war loan waa announced. It waa most prominent yesterday. The expo nents of this theory of the market's de cline pointed to the number of "seller 20" transactions In bonds. The man close to the market, who could se where muoh of the trading was coming from, laughed at "forelam selltne" am n i-.oi market factor. Canadian Pacific. throuarh which T s nV. 1. r.r...,,n .. ..

It Is quite natural that Hrltlah Invest ors who. want to hnv th .n. , might sell Canadian here, but there are several very potent reasons In the condition of tho company Itself and Its future which may operate with peculiar force In the British Investor's ilium m hub iime. as ror selling of the standard Amripn mo. iH. trials by Europe there waa little enough to encourage those bankers who are pointing out that If only Europe would eacnange prooiem would be solved.

The Torn to Ralls, Ralls and In a leneer degree co.in.r. are the classes of stocks In which there Is a revival of strong speculative In terest. Attention lavished on the Indus. trials, particularly the war stocks, Is beginning to wane. TJih time Is now approaching when actual results of the war uruer oiisiness, tnat caused a furore whllo still shroimdeii in m...,,.,... may begin In be examined. Iluyers of these stocks are not quite so sure In a number of the boomed stocks that the profits are so tremendous. In fen they find reasons why profits shouin be smaller. There are the tremendous prices, for Instance. In uimh mn, ., terlals have soared, particularly copper, epeuer, acius anil oilier essentials, with these considerations are tho better evi dences the railroads nrn nhnu'inir nt in creased earnings. Even In the reports, such as that of the Union Pacific, which continue to show a decrease In gross and also In net the financial community Is beginning to read a better outlook, weighing the showing against the disor der and disadvantage of war times.

Stock Kxchange men are puxxled by the action of the courts In the cases against bucket shops which has thus far resulted In giving these forma of fraud a protection that enables them to continue to flourish. Uelayed decisions and adverse decisions when handed down have caused no little dismay. The de cision of the Buffalo court on Wednes day continuing an Injunction against the telegraph quotation companies to prevent their cutting oft certain concerns PlacK' listed by tho Stock Kxchange put another temporary obstacle in the campaign ot the New York exchange against the ting of bucket shops now running. In the face of a number of decisions by lower courts and by ths Supremo Court ot the United States the authority or the stock Exchange to cut off whom It likes from Its quotation service would seem to bear little controversy. Supreme court Jus Uce Holmes has ruled : "The plaintiff's collection of quotations Is entitled to the protection of the law. It stands like a trade secret. The plaintiff has the right to keep the work which It has done, or paid for doing, to Itself." THE COFFEE MARKET. THE BOSTON MARKET. Boston, June 24.
