SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.?"After the Panama canal is opened the battleship fleet of the American navy will be as much in the Pacific ocean as in the At lantic." This was the declaration here today of Secretary Daniels of the Navy Depart ment on his arrival from Los Angeles.

"I am here to examine the sites sug gested for a dry dock on San Francisco bay. My thought is to get a comprehen sive idea of the topography, so that when the reports of the experts are submitted later I shall be able to read them Intel ligently." Killed When Auto Overturns.

NEW YORK NEW YORK, July 25.?As today's weather map and private advices all tended to confirm rumors about rains in the western belt, including Texas, the local cotton market had a barely steady opening with prices 5 to 11 points lower. With a low barometer over Arkansas, Oklahoma and the west, further rains were expected, but as the market was considerably over-sold a later covering movement advanced prices 3 to 5 points above the opening level. Futures opened barely steady; July, 11.80; August. 11.56; September, 11.37; October, 11.24; December, 11.17; January, 11.10; February, 11.15; March, 11.21; May, 11.21. The market continued steady later in the forenoon on trade buying and a de mand for August from Liverpool inter ests. but turned weak again toward noon on the official forecast of further show ers in the southwest and detailed reports of rain, reacting back to about opening levels. Estimated receipts today, 3,000 bales. NEW ORLEANS. NEW ORLEANS, July 25.?Colton fu tures opened steady, two points down to four points up. Cables were about, as due, but the weather map showed rains over the larger part of the belt, even extending into Texas, which prompted some little selling. In the early trading prices were four points under yesterday's close, but this de cline was not maintained, in spite of the forecast for showers for all parts of the belt except west Texas. Buying increased on the decline, ap parently being for both accounts, and at the end of the first half hour of business prices were unchanged to one point down, compared with yesterday's last figures on the new crops, and eight up on August. Futures opened steady; July. 11.50 bid; August, 11.56 bid; September, 11.33a 11.35; October, ll.S0all.31; December, 11.29 asked; January. ll.30all.31; March, ll.40all.41. The market fell off again around the middle of the morning on selling for short account, encouraged by tele grams from a number of points in Texas stating that the showers of yes terday and last night had greatly Im proved the outlook. Bulls pointed out. however, that only a small part of Texas has experienced rain. At the lowest the trading months were 4 to 8 points under yesterday's final figures. Selling pressure was not long continued, and at noon the mar ket was quiet and steady, 3 to 4 points under yesterday's close. LIVERPOOL.
