' , The Paris ndvanco of " "iOlc on reports of hot weather In Franco and Germany Influenced a good klonl of buying from shorts , and support j I from that Bourco was permanent throughout - I 1 out the session.

Nebraska reported 10.6 per cent crop In that Htate worthless on account of weeds , while Oklahoma re ported an Increase of 6UWOi.iO bushels tills ' yunr over last year's crop. Later advices Caused a moro bearish feeling. News from I 'Franco ' said Hio hot weather in that coun try and Germany did not t present threaten the crop.

Accounts reaching Now York 'from ' Texas were ns badly mixed today as ever. There was llttlo reliable daUi nnd the disposition to hold oft for something llko Intelligent reports was spread. The cotton market started out with a steady tone at a dccllnj of 1G2 points , gave way lf(2 ( ( points further and showed some Irregularity with a generally weak undertone of feeling. Crop reports , olll- clully and otherwise , outside of Texas had a bearish average. Later , however , the market rallied a llttlo on a special dispatch datd at Novosata , Tex. , published by a Nmv York news agency , to the effect that the cotton crop was dead from Waco to the gulf , a distance , of 400 miles ; that there was not nn aero that had not been over- flooded nnd that while farmers talked of replanting most of them thought It was already trio late. Creek bottoms were also reported to have- been ruined by floods nnd the loss in the state was placed nt not lets than 760,000 bales , after taking Into consid eration the benefit by rains. The market closed steady and 1 point lower to -point higher. Public and European cables re- fleeted n bearish foreign sentiment and a disposition to Interpret the weather bureau r ° ports as favorable to the Idea of lower prices , or at least against any advance. Helling for short account was not a feature , ns the spot markets were reported to be In generally ilrm condition , with parties lure claiming that the ofllclal figures on epot cotton 'wero considerably below the actual selling worth of the staple.

MnrK-pt SlinTroil Continued Strength nml lluyliiK On l.nrKO Scnlc. Nnw YORK , July 12. The stock market shewed continued strength and buying by professional operators was on n largo scale. There wns a good demand from outsiders through commission houses at the opening , encouraged by the. rls * in prlws yesterday find yesterday's professional buyers were free sellers to realize while this lasted. The market then cnmo to the customary halt after such a process before taking u , > an advance. An eager demand developed for Missouri ISicillc uid affected l.ear.y nil the Gould southwestern group In sympathy. Not only the stocks , but nil .the securities of this group of railroads were affected. Missouri Pacific held the leadership of the market throughout the day nnd made i late ndvanco to 4San extreme rise of 2 points. The motive of ithls buying wns the \Vnll street rumor of plans for merging the va rious railroad properties In the southwest In which the Gouids arc Interested. Good buying set In early for the grangers , Pa- clllcs and Atchlcon preferred and after midday Now York Central was suddenly pushed up an extra 2ii. Largo buying of Pennsylvania t an advance of 1U seemed to bo associated with the New York Cen tral movement , but an attempt WHS made to connect the latter with union Pacific and Northwestern by manipulating the price of these two stocks. All of North- western's gain was subsequently lost. The manner In which the buying demand progressed .through the railroad list , to gether with the upward tendency In Sucar , prompted the professionals to uueinpt ti movement In the Industrial stocks. Leather preferred , National Steel. Tlnplate. Federal Steel and General Electric were bid up be tween 1 nnd 2 points and Now York Air brake had a characteristic upward dash of 19 points. Mexican Central rows quite conspicuously 2V4 per cent under the sentimental Influence or the opening In New York of subscrip tions for the new Mexican refunding loan. Sugar , Manhattan and Brooklyn Transit dropped sharply from the opening llguroa nnd many of the gains in the Industrials were practically wiped out. Prices of the railroads sagged considerably from Iho top and the closing of the market -was - de cidedly heavy , net gains being only partly retained. The money market was easier today and confidence is felt that the supply will be come still more abundant t u very early date. Several large loans for the purpose of nc.w Industrial flotations are now re leased and the banks are gaining money from the subtreasitry. The bull traders are talking of a very favorable bank state ment on next Saturday , although the 5 per cent rate for call loans which held for tliu greater part of today does not Indicate a plethoric condition as yet. The New York stock market received some support today from London In spite of the continued heaviness thereIn either departments , but the sharp recovery in British consols and French rentes late In thv day , the fall In the price of gold In London and the ad vance In sterling exchange rates in Paris and Berlin today Indicate a relaxation of the money market pressure In London. There was n good business In 'bonds to day , St. Louis & Southwestern seconds .leading the market. Total sales , par value , J3,365,000. United States 2s , registered , de clined U nnd the 3s , registered , % . while the old -Is , registered , advanced Vt , in the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : The markets here were Inactive today ; they opened dull , but Improved later on a spurt of 11-16 In consols. The recent weakness In them is attributed to sales by discount , brokers who were unwilling to pay the stiff loan rates demanded by the bank. It Is rumored that the proposal to extend postolllco savings bank Investments beyond consols has been abandoned. A moro hopeful view of the Transvaal situation also prevailed. Money was harder. There Is talk of an advance in the bank rate tomorrow , but I think suc'h ' action improbable. Gold to uio amount c97COO In bars was bought by the bank and 10.000 taken for Rio. The price declined -to 77s94d. ! Americans were buoyant , closing at the best. .New . ork bought freely and London Is encouraged by the crop reports , the St. Paul traftlc and the news that grain rates are to bo ad vanced on August 1.

CATTLE The market on cornfod cattle was not quite ) so active to open this mornIng - Ing as It has been on some days and still there was a fair demand and buyers got , down to business dn reasonably good season. I I Where the cattle were the kind that they i ' wanted the market was steady , but the holders of offish cattle , or such cattle as buyers did not seem to take a fancy to , were quoting the market a little lower. On the other hand , there w ro Individual sales at prices that even looked strong. Later on In the morning advices were received from Chicago Indicating that the market at that point was lower and In consequence of that the feeling on such cattle as re mained unsold was a little easier. Taking the market as a whole It was In pretty good shape and as a rule satisfactory to the sellers. As will be noted from the sales below , there were plenty of good cattle In the yards. Good dry lot cow ? and heifers were about steady , but grass stuff was 510c lower. Grass cows nnd heifers have been bringing very high prices * , while they have been showing more and more grass signs , and the shrinkage at the pacldng houses has been getting larger right along. This morning buyers were on the lookout for grass stuff and were on the lookout for it , with the result that prices as a rule wore lower , as noted above. The bull mar ket did not show much change , at least none of material Importance , and the same was true of calves , though there was a dis position on the close to bear down on most everything In the way of butchers' stock. A few stockers and feeders were among the cattle received , but the market was featureless. The prices paid were prac tically the same as yesterday. Representa tive sales * BEE1 < - STEERS. No. Av.

The trade was quite active under the influence of tile good demand and a good many hogs changed hands in a short time. A large upmber of the early sales were' on the basis of Ji.02'04.05 ' for such hogs as brought $3.95 yesterday. Borne Choice light sold at J4.10. A little later on , OB it bscame apparent that the receipts were somewhat larger than had been antici pated and that there were plenty of hogs to fill all orders , buyers seemed to come to the conclusion that they were paying too much monev , and acordlngly lowered their hands a little. That 1 , such hogs as they paid J4.05 for In the morning they wanted to guy at Ji.02',4 a little later on , and if they were not right good loads they would offer in many cases only J4 , Sellers , aH a matter of course , were all asking the best prices of the day for their holdings , and as a re sult the market became rather slow for a time. Jit finally closed slow and weak and Z'Affioo ' lower than ths best time. Today's advance carries the market to the hlgheot point touched since June. 4. 1S93 , when hogs sold on an average a little above $4 , the KaVne as today. Another fact that may bo worth noticing is that th're has been no time during the month of July when hogs have sold as high as they are now selling since 1695. Representative sales ; No. Av. &n , Pr.
