The confidence of wheat traders who have

Kcrcd at Iho opening by cab.es reporting
of the drouth-
Bood rains In some parts

of wheat on the curb nnd opening quota

NBW YORK , Juno 19.-Speculatlon In
stocks" has evidently reached a sort of
cquatorlnl tone nnd Is hopelessly becalmed
In the doldrums , with not enough headwny
to Indicate In which direction Its course
shall bo fin illy shaped. Denllngs todny con
tinued profoundly dull nnd outside of move
ments of a few special stocks which were
Influenced by Individual causes the dny a
events were Inconsequential As Is only
natural In a market where the bujlng de
mand Is practically nil. HIP drift of prices
was downward , even with a very small
body of offerings to weigh on the market
There was In addition the sympathetic ef
fect of an active liquidation , coupled with
bear pressure In Steel and Wire The net
rcnults for the day are losses In almost
all ca es nnd In quite a number of cases
amount to as much as n point or over
Steel nnd Wire showed Its weakness from
the opening and dropped by successive
singes without any determined support be
ing manifest tt a level nearly $1 per share
below the price of Saturday. The confu
sion nnd uncertainty as to the declaration
of n dividend nt the coming meeting , duo
to the contllctlng utterances of those con
nected with the property , showing the ex
istence of a dispute among the directors
themse ves , nre responsible for this wenk-
ness. He.'vy lines of this stock were tikfn
on by operators on the confident assump
tion thnt n dividend was to be declared
Federal Steel nnd other stocks of com
panies In the steel trade dropped In sym
pathy. A buying demand for Tennessee
Coal , which spread to Colorado Fuel , hnd a
large inllucnce In checking the decline In
the whole group nnd affecting a partial
re-coverv , except In Federal Steel , which
sold at the lowest on the last sale at a net
decline of over 2 points. The temporary
strength dlsp'.ajed by Sugar nlso served as
a sustaining Influence. The early drop In
the wheat market Htlffened the grangers for
nwhlle , but they yielded ngaln. The pre
vailing depression on foreign exchanges
was an Influence and the bears sold trac
tion stocks on the theory that western
street railway strikes might spread.
The Baltimore & Ohio stocks were rather
conspicuously weak , with no further ex
planation apparent than the decrease In
net earnings compared with last jeir. It Is
evident that the public and operators In
stocks are waiting for the future course of
events In the country's business and Indus
try to become moro clearlv defined. Al
though the buying demanft Is nt a standstill
present holders show no disposition to sell
at present prices There was some short
se'.Kng evident today , but the borrowing
demand for stocks Is so small as to pre
clude the Idea that a large short Interest
exists. The bears are apparently as disin
clined to operate as are the bujers. The
consequence Is the almost stagnant waiting
market.

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK , Juno 19 On light Liverpool
buying the cotton market opened steady .n
tone , with prices unchanged to 1 point
lower. As the session progressed trading
narrowed down" to opera'tlonsi ' of scalpers
and an effort ofotlio prominent Wall street
houses to dispose of July headings for reInvestment -
Investment in January. At no time during
the day could speculation have been called
active , nor did the course of values glvo
the least Idea as to the tendency of senti
ment generally. It was what brokers term
"a 1-polnt market. "
Initial English cables reported well sus
tained prices for spot cotton at Liverpool ,
but less activity than expected and a
nerveless sagging future department. The
reverse was cab efl from Manchester , trade
being reported as heavy at strong prices
Domestic news hold out no Inducement of
account to possible investors , Indicating
little If any change In tnc situation as n
whole. With the weather south favorable
the crop was said to be doing famously ,
though a superabundance of rain came to
hand Cotton goods were moving freely and
splnneis only controlled the cloth market.
After a momentary flurry of activity , dur
ing which prices broke under liquidation ,
tbo local market for futures closed barely
steady 2 to 4 points lower.

CATTLK The week opened with liberal
receipts of cattle , c ese to 100 cars of corn-
fed steers being among the offerings.
Quito a good many of tnese cattle were
shipped In In anticipation of a large export
demand , which did not nmterlalire. This
of Itself would have , been against the mar
ket , but In addition Chicago came way
lower and the result was a sharp break in
values nt this point. As a general thing
the market wan lOc lower and very slow at
the decline , In spots It was 15c lower. On
an average heavy cattle were the worst
sufferers , but at the same time there were
sales of light cattle which showed fu.ly as
much decline as heavy. The market as a
whole was a drag- from start to finish and
was very far from satisfactory to sellers ,
who were unwilling to make the concession
demanded. As a result the morning passed
with very little being done and It was late
before anything like a clearance was
eflected.
Cows and heifers were in light supply and
the maiket did not show any material
change as compared with the close of last
week. Buyers seemed to want supplies and
offerings were practically all taken In good
season. Bulls also sold at just about steady
prices , but It Is the time of year when It
would be only natural to expect heavy bulls
to sell a little lower , most any time ,
especially If the extremely hot weather of
the last two days continues.
There were a few Block cattle in the
yards , but speculators were not very
enthusiastic nnd the market was not very
acthe As to values they are not quite so
strong as they were the middle of last
week. Representative sales :

American GIn Compnny Secklnp ; Kx
termination of MJtior Tnctorlon.
Notice has been served on distributors am
large consumers of window glass througnou
the United Statce , reports the Chlcag
Times-Herald , that the American Glas
the market of thl
compinywhich controls
country , will seek a war of absolute ex
termination of the few scattered manufac
turers who essayed during the lost year t
focure n small portion of the Immense trad
which the prosperous condition of the coun
try gave to the giant monopoly. In additlo
the present officers have secured options o
fully 80 per cent of the window glass fac
torles of the country and will form a trus
along modern lines , with a capital of $24 ,
000,000.
The notice , containing , as It does , a velloa
threat to all Jdhbers and manufacturing con
sumers , such ns sash , door and blind mak
ers , that they may not buy this season out
clde of the combination , is attracting a groa
deal of attention In the trnde nnd Is creat
Ins n great anxiety on the part of all In
terests handling the product. To nn out
sldor there Is nothing In the communication
except the ordinary honeyed words of the
merchant hoping to extend his trnde ; bu
to those who nre famlllnr with the matter
there la no chance to mistake the fact tha
the cpmblnatlon Is swinging a largo club In
n vigorous , determined and merciless man
ner.
ner.Tho club , which Is not concealed from the
trade. It in the granting of sppchl rpbntc
to those who berln with the oppnlng of the
1ST-1900 ) "flrp" September 15 next , by buy
ing all of their glass of the combine nnr
continuing up to July 1 of next year. It
will bo observed that the rebates nro with-
hpld for n period of nine and one-hall
month * , so that the mnnigers of the com
bine will bo In porfest position to know
whether the buyer has kept faith with it or
not. Bettor still nnd hero I * the point that
Is giving the trade lt nnxlety the tled-up
rplnte * may represent the distributors' pn
tire profits for the trade year.
Whllo the combination allowed the dis
tributor who bought Its products exclusively
during the last year n fair margin of profit ,
there Is no guarantee that It will do the
same this ypnr. In fact , with the Jobbers'
capital In its own coffers , there Is no reason
why thu cumulnntlon should consult any
body except Itself In this llttlo mntfpr , nnd
IhH Is one of the points over which the
{ rado Is doing some very painful wriggling
For the Jobbers to go to any one of th
few Independent manufacturers of window
glass for rpllef Is to Invite complications
of ( \ bii'lnpss nature thnt may turn out
seriously for nny distributor with the hnrdl-
hood to break away from the combination
Should the Independent factpry bo unable ( ft
keep up with the trnde requirements of thi
Jobber whci'o wants are usually too dlversl-
flixJ to be met by any one factory the Jobber
would bo absolutely unable to nil orders
nnd would have to turn hi * trade over to hla
corrwotHor'J ' To attempt to Import Is futllfi ,
aa the tariff gives to the homo manufncturcr
a protection of 141 per cent The freight
rates Tiinltn the difference even greater to
trade centers well removed from the sea
board
In order lint the control of the market
during the next year may be ns absolute ah
It was last and that the sposulatlng public
may alee contribute Its capital to Its sup >
port the officers of the American company
nre no - arranging for a consolidation of nil
of the factories , Independent and othernlae ,
Into a trust along the improved modern
lines Tor this purpose options have been
TOcurcd on 80 to 85 per cent of the capacity
and these options are said to run to October
1 It will bo observed that this Is fifteen
; lays after the earliest date that glasa mak
ing for the flro of 1899-1900 can be resumed ,
and this of course leaves the present com
pany a llttlo leeway In whlh to operate
iouard the further confusion of Its enemies
The contemplated capital of the new or
ganization U $24,000,000 , of which half will
he common and half preferred stock Th * >
capitalization will cover property that could

WASHINGTON , Juno 10. The Inilustrlnl
commission has nonionhnt changed Its plan
for the work of the * ub-commlMon * ( hiring
the summer months b > revoking Us order for
the appointment of special cominUMon * to
Investigate the elevator trust nml the tnliilUK \
Industry west of the Mississippi rl\er , ami '
Instead authorizing nil the regular sub-cum- j
missions to sit during July nml August Uu. I
der this nrrnucement the agricultural com-
mission \\llf take up the elevator question ,
going to the northwestern states tor this
purpose , nml the mining commission will go
west for the purpose of looking Into the con
ditions affecting mining In that region Iho
latter commission will hold Its first meeting
In Deincr on the 12th of July The sub-com
mission on manufaclinors will mnko a tour
of New Hngland during the summer.
James Harrettlco president of the
Georgia Stnto Agricultural society , was the
only witness before the commission todi > .
Ho spoKc upon the agricultural conditions la
the south , sa > lng they were worse today than
they had o\cr been In the history of the
country. He slid the cotton Interest was es-
pcclallj depressed , prices last > car amount
ing to a little o\cr 4 cents a. pound At till *
prlco a man could not sa\o himself If ho pild
wages amounting to more than $3 a month.
Planters generally pay about $ G a month for
wnges , and at such prices they could not
prevent loss If they received less than fi
cents per pound.
Crops
Mr. Barrett said that nine-tenths of the
cotton grown vvn * mortgaged before It ma
tured. Rates of Interest nnd commission
wore high and the merchants were gradually
coming Into possession of the hnd.
The banks charge 10 per cent for money
for six months' time. Ho ad\anccd the ldt-\
that the national bank act had done vast
damage In outlawing real estate as security
for money loaned to these banks , and that
all told this act was to the south the moat
damaging legislation that liad over bt.en
enacted.
The witness said that nearly all the plan
tation labor was done by negroes nnd that
there was practically no Immigration because -
cause of the cheapness of labor and the
social conditions.
The railroad rates \\cro such as to render
It Impossible to longer make watermelon
growing profitable and the same was true
of other garden products
"Tho railroads are tooth the daddy and
the mammy of the trusts , " ho asserted.
Mr. Barrett said the census of 1890 had
shown that Augusta , where ho ll\es , was the
meet Illiterate place In the United States ,
nnd ho thought this fact was duo to the
presence of too much politics In the schools.
