A VERY SMALL STOCK MARKET The Movement Shows Profes sional Character Plain THE DEALINGS FALL OFF The Strength of a Few Favorltea Helped Along for a While, But Later These, Too, Re lapsed. % - New York, June 11.—The desultory movement of prices in today’s stock mar ket demonstrated the professional char acter Into which It has again relapsed. The volume of dealings fall back near to the level which was reached previous to last week’s spurt of activity. Diminished Interest showed a tendency to- become congested In a few stocks. The strength of these had some Influence In sustaining the general market, but this waned In the latter part of the day. The opening made a good show of strength under the combined Influence of favorable Interpre tation of the government crop report, published after the closo yesterday, and the rumors which came thick from Lon don that peace was imminent In South Africa. The crop report had the greater effect on account of the short selling which nad been done by the bears during the past week In expectation of a showing of great deterioration in the crops. Not withstanding the decline in condition of the winter wheat crop during the month, and the decrease in acreage of the spring wheat crop, experts are able to figure a bumper crop on the government showing. The rains which have fallen since the first of the month, which is the date of the government’s computation, were also taken as an offsetting factor to the un favorable features of the report. The short covering which developed yesterday afternoon therefore continued with ener gy this morning. There was an attempt nevertheless to distinguish In detail the effects of the reports os bearing on differ ent states. The spring wheat grangers were consequently strong, while the Texas, Missouri and Kansas lines were held back. A sharp raid carried Texas and Pacific down to 2% from the high point and Missouri Pacific itself fell un der last night. The whole market suf fered from realizing untU the aggressive movement In Missouri Pacific fhecked the decline. This stock touched 122% on well defined expectations of a coming divi dend. There was a rumor that the company’s bonds will have the option exercised In their behalf. The pressure on Texas and Pacific was attributed to a change in the ratio of Its proposed exchange with Missouri Pacific stock, which has been supposed hitherto to have been two shares for one of Missouri Pacific. The Mexican Central issues were largely dealt in con nection with a report of a refunding plan which would bring the stock nearer to dividend claims. The appearance of controling Standard Cil interests in the directorate of the American Linseed Oil Company was responsible for the strength of those stocks and of National Lead, which, it is said, will benefit from the change. A number of the high priced specialties, such as Sugar, Amalgamated Copper and American Tobacco, fluctuated feverishly under the influence of what seemed purely speculative operations. There were some sharp advances in less prominent specialties, which were unex plained, including American Express, North American. General Electric, Vir ginia-Carolina Chemical and others, In which the gains ran from 1 to 7 points. The money market was free from dis turbance, but reports of a transfer of several million dollars in currency to Philadelphia yesterday, In connection with steel combinations, was an Influence upon sentiment. The selling pressure gained force at the last and the closing was heavy at about the lowest and gen erally below last night’s declines from the top, ranging from 1 to 4 points in the principal active stocks. The sales of 100, 000 shares of Northwestern preferred was made 13 point lower than the preceding sale. The demand for bonds was well dis tributed and prices advanced. Total sales, par value, $3,975,000. United States bonds all unchanged on last call. New York 8tpck Market. By Private Wire to Murphy A Co. “ o b r Q S e 1 e STOCKS. 3 a- o K 5 I M Ampr.

COTTOI MARKET WAS VERT ACTIVE Opened Steady and Advanced from 8 to 9 Points SHORTS BECAME ALARMED And Scrambled for Safer Ground and Added Greatly to the Strength of the Market—Bullish Govern ment Report. New York, June 11.—A scare of near months shorts and investment buying of August exerted a leading influence In to day’s cotton market. Events here in turn dominated the markets in the South and abroad, despite the fact that outside points were weak. Liverpool cables wero a disappointment to the trade here and with favorable weather news led to mis givings among the bulls Just before the opening. But shorts were cautious with the result that the market opened steady one point lower to one point higher. Then heavy buying of the near months for Western and Southern account sent prices up eight to nine points with a rush and Induced buying of an investment nature. Shorts became alarmed and scrambled for safer ground and in so doing added greatly to the strength of the market. Liverpool and New Orleans were quick to follow our advance and even furnished liberal buying orders here. At noon the weekly government crop re port was Issued and it proved to be very bullish. On this news there was a fresh rush to cover and "buying for Wall street account became a feature. During the rest of the session the market displayed a *flrm undertone with the near months absorbing the bullish attention. July jumped to 8.22, August to 7.63 and Octo ber to 7.19 in the half hour on a burst of general buying. Shorts were constantly menaced by August buying orders from the West.

New Orleans, June 11.—There have been no new developments In the market for spot cotton*. Offerings continue to show some slight Improvement and buyers would have no great difficulty now In making selections of either high or low grades, but the purchasing element Is operating very conservatively just at this juncture, refusing to do more than fill urgent orders at ruling prices and the re sult Is a meaggr movement. Factors as a rule are holding well for full figures, and In some Instances they are asking l concessions. Sales, 1,250 bale, including 50 to arrive. Prices advanced l-16c.

By Private Wire to Sledge Commercial Company. Birmingham, June 11.—London news was more encouraging, with prices for Americans V4@% above parity, and this, together with the bullish interpretation of the government crop report, brought about a higher range of values with M. P., St. Paul and American Linseed the features. Trading broadening during the forenoon and there was a general ad vance, but later the whole market sold off under the pressure on Missouri Pa cific. The close was irregular. Missouri Pacific was the feature throughout, leading the decline under the heavy pressure brought to bear on this stock with a view to breaking the whole list and thdh*beiAg the secfitity in which late buying orders were centralized on the report that insiders had given it out that there would soon be an important deal announced in connection with the property. Texas Pacific was another stock that suffered from selling pressure for the same reason as Missouri Pacific, though it was reported that the selling was caused by the rumor that this road would not share in the forthcoming deal as favorable as had been expected. Stocks favorably affected by prospective dividends were L. & N., on which 6 per cent is talked; Steel, common, on which 4 per cent for common is being rumored almost with certainty. An extra divi dend on St. Paul and the forthcoming one in Southern Pacific. L. & N. is scarce in the loan crowd and is being bought by a strong pool on ex cellent earnings and cheapness as a divi dend payer.
