CENTRAL Bears Aggressive and the Mar- ~ ‘ket Crumbles on a Report That Is Denied of a Special Issue of Railroad Shares to Pay Terminal Improvements, SELLING GOES ON TO CLOSE AND §00D ISSUES FALL. Deolines Ran from 2 to 4 Points _and None of the Leading Se- curities, Including Steel, Sugar, Colorado Fuel and Metropolitan, Escaped, “Stocks slumped in sensational fashion © the Exchange to-day, with New York Central ing the downward ‘movement. There was a break of two points in the active list, while the de- fines in the inactive group reached four and over, The bears were inclined to fee aggressive and hammered the weak while the market fell away, Al- ugh prices were brought to a low evel, trading continued dull, the deal- ‘mgs being restricted to a limited num- ber of the issues, "New York Central was the spectal oD- feet of attack on the renewal of an old Peport that the road intended to make ‘an issue of new stock to finance its ter- minal tmprovements in this city. A de filal wes immediately made for the New Tork Central, it being stated that the company would not need anything like the amount the Pennsyivania Railroad raised, and that there would be no dif- fienity in getting whatever was re- quired when the time came ‘or secur- fing the capital. But the selling went ‘en, and New York Central dropped to @ lower price than in years, it being at 181 1-2 in the final dealings, which was @sloss of 3 5-8 on the day, Steel, which had been a promising fsue in the early day, fell away when a report was circulated that the price of steel billets had been cut.

WATERMELONS FEW AND GHETT —e— Short Crop in Georgia Means that New York Must Deny Itself One of Its Chief Summer Delights. ‘There is a watermelon famine. ‘The big, green, Julcy junks of joy that come from Georgia at this season of the year are scarcer than they have been in many years. A fair specimen of melon costs $1 and a really first-class one $1.50, ‘The wholesaters can barely supply the demand even at the prices they charge for them, which ranges from # cents to $1 wholesale, ‘The “Harny" worm and the late sea- gon are to blame for all this. Down in whence New York gets i first supply of watermetons, it has been raining, ratning, and there waa no sun to make req the hearts of the big sreen frult. Wihen the sun dia get to work {t hatched out the ‘Harny” worm, and {ts voraciousness did the rest. The re- sult has beea that the output has been reduced one-half, New York {s a great consumer of early watermelons, and a ship's load from the Southern coast is distributed in the city so fast that it is as enow before a May sun. The tenements consume melons in muoh larger proportion than the dwellers in fine houses. There the TRANSPORTING THE WORLD: THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 9, 1903. ARE FAR BETWEEN.

BULLS AGAIN KITE COTTON PRICES They Rout the Bears in Fight for Control of Market and Send August Up 97 Points, While Other Options Follow. In the final dealings on the Cotton Exchange to-day the bulls, who had been aggressive all the afternoon, got full control of the market and sent prices kiting. August made a gain of 97 points and all the other options were up to high figures. ‘Dhe market closed firm, the last quo- tations being: July, 12.40 to 12.60; Au- gust, 12.2% to 12.28; September, 10.77 to 10.78; October, 9.96 to 9.97; November, 9.74 40 9.76; December, 9.71 bid; January, 61 t 09.68; February, 9.64 to 9.68; March, 948 to 9.
