SAN ANTONIO WHOLESALE
I f MARKET PRICES TO DA TE
Cash Quotations on All Staple
Commodities and Current
Comment on Trade
Conditions.
Thursday was 11 quiet day In wholesale
eircles end nothing of a noteworthy
nature transpired. Aside from the
slightly demoralized condition of the
toinato trade, prices were unchanged
throughout.
♦ * #
In canned tomatoes, the Eastern trade
is interested in a rumor of the sale of
40,000 cases of Maryland full standard 3s
at $1.00. The rumor, while given cred-
ence in some quarters, lias not been fully
confirmed.
♦ * ♦
Advices from New York, under date of
Tuesday, say of corn: "Corn is strong,
and some appear to think that present
prices are low, considering crop condi-
tions, and other influences at work on
the corn market. No buying is reported,
but holders are firm in their views and
refuse to make concessions for the pur-
pose of securing biu;incs.^ Futures are
firm, with many packers refusing to
name prices, Extra Southern pack is
quoted at 60(5162Vic; fancy, 65<?/67Vi!C : extra
fancy. 67,/fc<irW0e, and Maine style, 60c
f. o. b. factory."
• • »
Czarnikow, McDougall & Co. say of
the sugar situation: "The improvement
recorded in our last report has been main-
tained during the present week, and
probably would have made further prog-
ress but for the heavy receipts, which,
being 10,000 tons in excess of meltings,
naturally made buyers indifferent to spot
offerings. As it was, however they took
everything put before them at last prices.
The business done in sugars for shipment
has been restricted,-owing to the firm-
ness of sellers in Cuba and Porto Rico,
who are asking prices equivalent to from
3.56c- to 3.62c landed for 96. degree centrif-
ugals. The crops in both islands are
drawing to a close, and the quantity re-
maining unmarketed is ho reduced as to
be easily held. As holders see the time
approaching when buyers must resort to
Europe or Java for some of their later
supplies, they (holders) see no reason
why they should not get a price nearer
to what buyers would have to pay in
those markets, In neither of which could
purchases be made at less than the
equivalent of 2.35c c. f basis % degree
for Cubas, or 3.70c landed for Porto
Ricos."
* # *
If the Senate accepts an amendment to
the pure food bill, adopted by the House,
the salmon packers on the Pacific: Coast
and in Alaska will fare much better
than they had reason to expect would be
the case after the measure passed the
upper branch of Congress. Under the
terms of the bill as it was sent to the
House, the salmon packers were made
liable to heavy penalties in <ase cans of
salmon failed to bear on the label the
weight of the fish and the quality of it.
An ♦amendment was submitted to the
House committee providing that the
Alaska canners be exempted from this
clause in the pure food bill so far as the
stock on hand and the product of 1906 are,
concerned. It was represented by the
packers that they had on hand a large
stock of canned fish, and thai the labels
did not signify the weight or the quality
of the contents. To relabel these pack-
ages would involve great expense and
probably wipe out entirely the profit on
the goods. Representative Sherman of
New York interested himself in the mat-
ter. however, and an amendment was in-
troduced and adopted by the House yes-
terday that eaiyied goods shall not be
regarded as mlsbranded unless the pack-
age states the quality and weight falsely.
Under the forms of the amendment it
will be unnecessary for the salmon can-
ners to change the labels on their cans,
and specific words indicating the weight
may be omitted as at present.

OFFICE OF THE SAN ANTONIO
DAILY EXPRESS, SAN ANTONIO,
Tex., June 28.—Aside from a vicious as-
sault upon the cotton market by room
scalpers today, trading was on a very
quiet scale and the volume of transac-
tions was small. Due to these assaults
and to the usual liquidation Immediately
preceding the issuance of a bureau re-
port, prices declined 3 to 10 points at
New York and 5 to 8 points at New Or-
leans. Around 10.23 for October, how-
ever, the market had plenty of support
from the big fellows thus forestalling
any serious break as a result of the
bearish attack already alluded to.
Liverpool continue to occupy a rather
indifferent attitude. The opening there
was about as expected, tut later in the
session the market succumbed to bearish
pressure and futures lost 1 to 2 points.
Spots gained 1 points, but the turn over
amounted to only 6000 bales. The mani-
fest lack of eagerness to make extensive
purchases at present pri e.s shows that
spinners still have hopes of a yield suf-
ficiently large to enable them to at
least purchase a portion of their sup-
plies for tlie next season below present
price levels. Hence it may be expected
that as long as this idea prevails with
them, they will await further develop-
ments in the way of crop news before
entering the market very actively.
Sentiment respecting the forthcoming
bureau report took another tack today
because of numerous private advices
from the belt showing improvement,
rather than deterioration in the crop,
and the belief is now very strong in
some quarters that it will be bearish,
hence until it appears much caution will
be observed by traders generally.
Today is first notice day in Now York,
but it is hardly expected that any great
surprises will be sprung, still there is
no telling what manipulation may not
do before the session closes.

oversold. Trading has been light in the
local market as notice day is coming
tomorrow and the Government report on
Tuesday has imbued most traders with a
spirit of caution; consequently, when the
report is read there will probably be less
open accounts than at any time during
the last year. Such a great majority of
private reports tell of improvement "dur-
ing the month, that there are many
more people vxpecting a report from the
Government showing such a condition
than there are people anticipating de-
terioration. though in some directions it
is felt that the June report showed con-
ditions better than they really were at
the time, and that this report may show
little if any change, if any weak spot
develops from the bureau day we think
purchases could be made to good ad-
vantage.
New York Cotton.
NEW YORK, June 28.—Trading in cot-
ton was restricted to cvenlng-up by pro-
fessional operators, uncertainty as to the
effect of July notices tomorrow, the
usual considerations as to the week-end
and various anticipations as to the show-
ing of the July condition report early
next week. Fluctuations were nervous
and Irregular but comparatively narrow,
with the close steady, 3 to 10 points net
lower. Sales estimated at 150,000 bales.
The opening was steady at a decline of 2
points to an advance of 3 points which
was Just about as due on the cablcw and
was relatively easy on the old crop
months which, however, advanced in
keeping with new crop months right
after the call. But the steadiness was
of short duration, owing to the favorable
weather and crop reports and prices soon
sagged off under liquidation and selling
by some of the room bears. At a decline
of 6 to 8 points Julv sold at 10.12c and
December at 10.33c, the market steadying
on covering and rallied to about the clos-
ing prices of the previous day, but sold
off again in the afternoon under a re-
newal of liquidation and bear pressure
which was encouraged by reports of a
smaller spot demand and the fear of Jply
notices. The close was within a point or
two of the lowest.
Receipts at the ports today, 4170 bales,
against 4313 last week and 9352 last year.
For the week. 30,000 bales, against 31,223
last week and 75,548 last year. Today's
receipts at New Orleans, 1208 bales,
against 3228 last yefer, and at Houston, 229
bales, against 801 last year.
New Orleans Cotton.
NEW ORLEANS, La., June 28.—Cotton
spot closed steady and unchanged. Mid-
dling. 11c. Sales, 525 bales on the spot,
and, 650 to arrive.
Futures opened quiet, 10 points under
yesterday's close. The market through-
out was dull and narrow. A slight de-
cline was caused by good weather re-
ports. The close was steady with prices
at the lowest and showing a net dcclino
of 5 to 8 points.

Sanger & Ettelson's Letter.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 28.—The
undertone to the market was somewhat
easier today, values declining 11 points
for old-crop months and about 8 points on
new-crop arrivals. The third report, m
piecemeal fashion, by the New York Jour-
nal of Commerce pictured the crop out-
look in Arkansas as perfect, some cor-
respondents claiming prospects to be the
best ever known, dry weather having
been favorable to cultivation, resulting
in remarkably clean fields, and tlie plant,
though small, Is generally strong and
healthy. Improvement is reported for
Tennessee, although the cool weather
checked growth, the plant being small
and the season 10 or 12 days late. Farm-
ers have been able to keep up with their
work as a result of the dry weather, the
fields being clean, cultivation good and
the plant healthy. Meanwhile the above
States have been relieved by beneficial
rains. Thus far three States appear to
have a lower average condition than last
month, and five States indicate some im-
provement. By tomorrow Texas and the
Territories will have been heard from,
as well as the final average for the entire
belt. The latter, however, might be de-
layed for a day or two. In advance of
the Government's monthly crop report,
expected at noon July 3, the New Or-
leans Times-Democrat will publish the
second of its monthly crop reviews next
Monday, and there is no doubt but that
many of the reports from private sources
will be issued in the interim. The steadi-
ness of the market would indicate that
the trade is anticipating a bullish re-
port. a deterioration of about 3 points
being expected. In fact a New York wire
of today placed the probable condition
at about SO. gainst 84.6 last month. To-
morrow will be July tender day in New
York and as reported, more than 38.000
bales are expeeted to be thrown upon the
market, the effect of which will depend
upon whether exporters stop them or not,
Liverpool being the only possible dump-
ing ground. Friday's week-end figures
on movement of crop, the world's takings
by spinners and the weekly weather and
crop report of the New York Chronicle
are apt to work in favor of the short
side of the market, if only temporarily,
business in actual cotton in the English
market having been smsll and the rains
in the lower Mississippi Valley and «n
Southern Texas beneficial to the growing
crop.
The spot mrket ruled featureless today,
supply and demand limited, market ruling
quiet and about unchanged.
Liverpool is due 2 points lower tomor-
row.
Burwell, King &. Co.'s Letter.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex., June 28.-The
market appears to be settling at this
level for a decision by the coming bureau
report and business around the rings has
narrowed down to a kind of miniature
warfare between professional scalpers.
Hardly a trade passed at the opening.
Considering this a propitious omen, a
vicious attack by room scalpers followed,
throwing October baek to 10.23c, at which
price large houses absorbed all offerings,
and trading halted in expectant dullness.
A point that is being noticed is
the signs of diminished strength and sup-
port in the near positions in Liverpool
compared with the showing of the past
weeks. Futures gave way more readily
and the turn over in spots was small,
total sales today amounting to only 6000
bales.
Weather conditions in the belt must
be called favorable. Further light show-
ers fell in Texas and the Central States;
continued Southeast winds guarantee
cloudiness and probablv more moisture
as predicted by the official forecast for
the States west of the Mississippi. The
Eastern States had very little precipita-
tion and that mostly in the coast dis-
tricts. Generally fair weather is pre-
dicted for Georgia and the Carolina*,
which is exactly the condition required.
Speculation about the tenor of the
coming bureau report is the principal
topic on the floor and. strange to say,
opinion shifted again to the bear side.
For a while It was thought that, closing
its reports on the 25th of this month or
before the recent rains, the condition
figure might tihow a decrease from last
month; but the account given by the
Journal of Commerce of the Central
States and private report;-, of stands ate
so good that opinion now leans to the
opposite direction. It is safe to predict
that a small reduction in the condition
figure would have little effect on the
market. On the other hand, a higher
condition figure than laRt month would
cause free selling. Owing to continued
good crop accounts from all around, the
feeling is so intensely bearish that It
would break away from the check in
which it has been held so long.
The spot demand was much quieter to-
day, more cotton offered and quotations
barely obtainable.
The into sight for the week is estimated
at 47,000 against 94,453 last year; 39.223
in 1904 and 41,420 in 1903. The visible
supply statement for the week Is ex-
pected to mike a less favorable showing
than that of last week.
Liverpool market is due to be from 1
to 2 points lower tomorrow.
San Antonio Brokerage Co.'s Letter.
SAN ANTONIO. Tex.. June 28.—Cables
were about as expected this morning.
Contracts closed 1 point lower, but spots
were 4 points higher, although sales were
again very small, only 6000 bales.
There were additional rains over a por-
tion of the drought district, and private
reports ot the most flattering character,
such as that issued by the Journal of
Commerce, only tended to increase bear-
ish sentiment.
The general opinion now seems to be
that the bureau report on Tuesday next
will show little, if any, falling off in eon-
ditionsince the last report, and many are
inclined to look for an improvement.
The week-end figures tomorrow are ex-
pected to be rather bearish than other-
wise. compared with last year, when the
visible supply fell off 98,824 bales for the
week, and spinners' takings were 194,000
bales. The market opened about un-
changed from last night's close, but the
tendency was distinctly downward, and
prices ran off 5 to 9 points before the
close.
Despite the bearishness, however, which
appears to be general, the market appears
to run against a stone wall below 10.25c
for the new crops, and while it has been
rather plain sailing for shorts while
weather conditions were in their favor,
the critical period of cotton growing is
still ahead of them, and must be reck-
oned with, and for this reason we would
prefer waiting for rallies upon which to
sell.
There was very little doing in spots to-
day. but prices are unchanged from yes-
terday.
Liverpool in the morning is due to como
in a shade lower.
Ware & Leland's Letter.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 28.— Cotton
was extremely dull today and a smaller
amount of business was done than
for a long time past, even with all the
dullness that has prevailed. No outside
business came in and room traders did
very little. Sentiment was very bearish,
but the already large commitments on
the short side prevented fresh short sell-
ing. which seemed justified by continued
good weather and uniformly bearish crop
news. Liverpool struck a non-committal
attitude, but the weather map was fa-
vorable, and this gave the mrket an easy
tone around the opening. July was of-
fered freely and it looked as if some
longs were Mtling out their holdings .n
that position and were buying December
at 35 points' difference. The leading bull
interests offered 110 support at all, and
the game seemed to be to shake out to
the last man those who could not stop
soot cotton. The idea of the bulls m
July just now also seems to be to keep
( the price down so as not to attract too
much of the actual stuff in the direction

San Antonio
of New Orleans. During the morning
piioe» showed only a moderate decline on
both the old and new cropn, and this was
due more to crop news than to the efforts
of the bears themselves*. The short side
is still too busy trying to take profits to
think of New Orleans. On the map lit-
tle rain was shown and the forecast did
not promise much more, which is Just the
kind of weather desired. One telegram
from Waco this morning said that
weather conditions were ideal and that
the crop was as near perfect as It possi-
bly could be. Snots were in moderate
demand and supply. Prices were easy,
but hardly quotably lower.
