STOCKS CONFINED
TO HOW BUT
Lacks Every Feature to Relieve
the Monotony
GENERAL TONE WAS HEAVY
Losses Were Small and Were Caused
By Very Light Selling, Due to
Effort to Find a
Trading Basis.
New York. June 4.—The stock market
was still confined to Its narrow profes
sional rut and lacked even the few special
features which varied the monotony yes
terday. There was some slight Irregular
ity during the day but the general tone
was rather heavy. The losses wer$ small
and were caused by very light selling
which was probably due merely to the ef
forts of the professionals to afford a
basis for trading. The ostensible expla
nation of the heaviness was the report
received from the anthracite region this
morning that some of the coal mines were
suffering from the shutting down of the
pumps due to the Inability of the opera
tors to get sufficient substitute labor for
the striking engineers and pump men.
Rioting in Chicago over the teamsters’
strike had the effect of somewhat shar
pening apprehension over the subject of
labor troubles generally, although much
gratification Is expressed on all sides at
the absence of violence In the mining re
gion. That Impression Is deepening, how
ever, that a long struggle Is probably In
prospect. The effects of the coal short
age are In the meantime growing more
acute and possibility of the soft coal
gainers becoming ultimately Involved In
the dispute Is always kept in mind. This
‘possibility may have accounted In part
for the rather marked heaviness of the
United States Steel stocks. The resigna
tion of two directors yesterday was also
• factor In the case. The tendency of
retiring Interests td embark In cement
ing enterprises was discussed. The deci
sion to maintain the present price of steel
rails for 1903 and reports of large orders
already received running Into the next
year did prevent the selling of United
States Steel, especially of the preferred.
The weather bureau's report of crop
damage by frost last night and delay In
planting the crop and of Its backward
cultivation by reason of unfavorable
weather helped on the undertone of de
pression. The extraordinarily favorable
outlook for the cotton crop reported by
the same authority was the motive for
some buying of cotton carrying railroads,
especially Kansas and Texas and St.
Louis Southwestern. Southern Railway
was also one of the firm stocks In the
market. A sharp reaction In Canadian
Pacific after its recent sustained advance
had some sympathetic effect on the mar
ket. Continental Tobacco preferred also
lost all of Its advance, which has accom
panied tne activity of the Consolidated
Tobacco bonds. A rise of five points In
Detroit United Railroads was not ex
plained and about half of It was lost.
Call money was somewhat easier, but
held at 3 per cent or above. Sterling ex
change continued to advance. The firm
ness of exchange in spite of the higher
rate for call money and the selling by
American holders of British consols to
take profits, Is attributed to a demand by
bankers to cover against previous sales
of exchange bills made In the course of
borrowing abroad. The market closed
semi-stagnant and heavy.
The bonds were rather more active
than stocks and the price movement was
Irregular. Total sales, par value, |2,
720,000.
United tSates 3s declined and the 2s
registered H per cent on the last call.

Chicago, June 4.—Bulls switched with
surprising rapidity In the corn pit today
and set all traders guessing what the
next bit of manipulation by the New

front under the switch of the bull leaders
and although natural reaction might
have been expected after four days of
almost constant decllngs yesterday, the
action was remarkably erratic. July
corn closed %@44c higher; July wheat %c

closed unchanged to 2744c higher.

SMALL SCRAMBLE
OE LOCAL SHORTS
Belief is That Cotton Has Been
Oversold Lately
BETTER LIVERPOOL CABLES
There Was a Further Forward Move- I
ment In Which Bears and Invest
ment Demand Competed
for Summer Months.
New Yoyk, June 4—Cotton opened steady
and 1 to 6 points higher on a small scram
ble of local shorts to secure profits, In
part due to better Liverpool cables than
expected and In part to belief that the
market was In an over-sold condition. Af
ter a momentary pause, in which prices
settled hack a few points, there was a
further forward movement in which room
boars end Investment demand competed
for the summer months. Reports that the
continent needed large amounts of cotton
with which to carry out contracts in
yarns and cloths for July and August de
livery and claims that Northern spinners
were freely bidding for cotton In Southern
spot markets helped to create a firmer
feeling generally. Nevertheless, business
was at no time particularly active and
the trade as a whole was skeptical of any
pronounced rise in prices so long as the
new crop continues to prosper. A sudden
rise to 9.25 for July In New Orleans
caused a commotion among local shorts
at midday, and on a fresh wave of buying
JiSly here worked up to 8.76 while August
sold at 8.49. During the rest of the day
the market was quiet, with prices off sev
eral points under scattering sales for
profits by scalpers and a lull !n outside
support. The close was quiet and steady,
with prices net unchanged to 13 points
higher. The total sales were estimated at
100,000 bales.
Lifrht port and Interior receipts, with
an Increasing export movement, were
given some Importance as bullish factors.
New York, June 4.—Cotton steady; mid

Npw Orleans Cotton Market.
New Orleans. June 4.—There was some
looking about among cotton sample rooms
during the early hours today, but very
little trading. Buyers having orders to
execute were generally seeking the mid
dling grade, and as that article is de
cidedly scarce at present there is small
opportunity for them to fill their require
ments. Sales 1675, including 750 to arrive.
Quotations unchanged.
Futures opened tame at an advance of
1 to 2 points. Shortly after the first call,
Influenced by New York, an advance set
in, and the Improvement was rapid until
July reached 9.20, a gain of 13 points.
Other positions showed corresponding
strength and all along the list there were
gains. After frequent fluctuations the
market at the close showed net gains of
15 on June, 14 on July, 7 on August. 4 on
September, 3 on October and 2 points each
on the other months. The trading was
fairly active at times.

New York, June 4.—Conditions In the

Prices have been made for fall prints

for the purpose of inducing fall trade.
Outside of this little can be noted in the
way of development.

C. VV. Lee & Co.’s Letter to H. D. Coth
ran & Co.
New York. June 4.—Following the de
cline of 44 points In August and 48 in
July In about two days, the market today
was reactionary. On the advance, how
ever, which was due to short covering
more than anything else, cotton came out
and the afternoon prices were lower than
at midday. This was the result of a run
ning In of shorts, lack of support and
pressure on the new crop owing to good
weather. Liverpool steadied somewhat
this morning, but there was nothing excit
ing about the advance. The report of yes
terday was too good. Everything now de
pends upon the weather in the South. No
man can tell what the summer will bring
about. A change may take place before
Sunday, and there may not be a change
In weeks. This seems beyond question:,
As long as no change takes place prices
will sag. The new crop options may sell
at 7%. 714 or 7 cents before the change
comes—no man can say. There's nothing
to bull cotton on as conditions are. The
chances fa^or declining prices. It will
take bad weather to put the market up.
A year ago at this time we were advising
everybody to buy cotton because the price

which would have resulted in the
prisoner being delivered to the federal
authorities. Logan was remanded to
jail.

healthful region In which to spend the
heated term is among the resorts along
the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway In the Mountains of the Vir
ginias. These resorts vary In attitude

for grand and picturesque surroundings,
variety of mineral waters, and an exhil
arating climate with mildly warm days

an energy and buoyancy which bespeaks
health and promotes enjoyment. There
are over 300 Summer Homes In the moun
tains and on the Senshore reached by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, varying
In rates and character to suit those of ;
very moderate means, who seek rest only, |
and those also who desire gaiety anei
social life. For booklet descriptive of
