RENEWED STRENGTH ,
SHOWED BY COTTON
IN DAY’S TRADING
NEW YORK, June %.—The cotton mar
ket showed renewed strength today and all
deliveries making new high records for the
season. July coniractSi for instance, sold up
to 22.97, making an advance of no less than
fS.tS per bale from the low. level reached
on the reaction of Monday mornlngA Real
ising caused fluctuations later, but July
closed at 22.(ft with the general list clos
ing irregular at a net advance of 19 to <3
points.
The market opened steady at an advance
of 22 to 34 points In response to the strength
of Liverpool over the local holiday. There
was a good deal of realising at the start,
but It was absorbed on moderate reactions
and active months worked aoout^ftO to at
points net higher during the middle of the
morning. Setbacks of 10 or 13 points fol
lowed, with the tendency to take profits
promoted by expectations (hat the weekly
report of the weather bureau would make a
favorable showing. There may also have
been some selling for a reaction, but while
the weekly review of crop conditions Indi
cated an Improvement ae compared with last
week, it failed to bring out any Increased
offerings of consequence. This started cov
ering or rebuying by some of the early sell
ers, while there was a continued demand
from, trade sources and fhe market reached
j the highest point of the day during the mid- |
die of the afternoon. October contracts ;
sold up to 22.43 and December to 22.62, |
making a net advance of to 72 points on |
the general list and an advance of 112 to
117 points from the low of Monday morn
ing. The demand seemed to taper off at
this level and there were reactions of 20
points or so followed by bulges which left
the close within 2 points* of the best on
July, while Ister deliveries were within, 10
or 12 points of the top. Private cables said
the strength in Liverpool was due to buy- i
Ing orders from Bombay, good report* from !
Manchester, trade buying and spinners call- i
Ing. Both foreign and domestic spinners j
were credited with buying in the local mar- |
ket, and the talk was that Southern mills <
were buying contracts ae a protection j
against sales of goods for delivery extending I
up to Januaty, 1918. Recent Wall Street !
and Western buyers were believed to be |
taking profits on the advances and the
market was not as active as on previous
udvancei.
, N. O. "COTTON
i>a%v june e.—me cot
ton market opened at the advance today
and remained at the advance throughout the
session, making new high prices on all
I months. July traded up to 22.46 cents a
pound, the highest price futures ever have
reached in this market. At the topmost
levels the active months showed a net rise
of 59 to 73 points. The close waa at a net
rise of 52 to 68 points.
The opening was in answer to the strong
advance in the Liverpool market. Buyers
found only small offerings of contracts to
fill their demand and moderate buying
served to keep the advance going. There
were reactions of nbout 25 points several
times, but the market made strong recov
eries.
The strength of the statistical position and
the unsatisfactory new crop outlook were
the sustaining features. While the new
crop appeared to be doing better and the
weekly crop and weather reports from the
govenrment showed Improvement, here and
there In the cotton region, the bulls main
tained, and with success, that the crop still
was late, and that stands were poor to ir
regular on a smaller acreage than was
planted a year ago. The bear element had
little courage and much of the offerings
came from satisfied longs.

NEW YORK, June 6.—Absence of dis

hopeful feeling respecting Russian affairs,
despite the sharp decline In rubles to their
lowest record, infused fresh vitality Into
today’s market. Industrials and, other
shares popularly identified with the several
war groups were the strongest feature*,
many of those Issues rising to tho year's

as Republic Iron. Colorado Fuel and others

vances of 2 to alnvpst 10 points. The first

cated last week's high record, allowing for
the regular and extra dividends of' 4%
points.
Industrial Alcohol was the. most sensa-J
ttonal feature, making a steady ascent of
10% points to 156H and fully retaining vir- j
tually all Its advantage. Accumulation of;

SHEPARD & GLUCK
NEW ORLEANS, LA., June 6.—Th® cot
ton market made a surprising show of j
strength today in the face of the high price
levels now prevailing and the rather favor
able tone of the weekly weather and crop
reports from the government. The situa
tion apparently simply amounts to this—
that famine conditions are having their way.
The old crop shows signs of exhaustion
which the new crop does not promise to
cure, for, no matter what may now be said
In favor of the new crop, the fact cannot
be overlooked that it is late and that stands
are unsatisfactory over a great portion of
the belt. The situation may be summed up
in a nut shell by stating that the crop in
the best portions of the belt is only what
the entire crop should have been a month
ago to have started the new season off with
good promise.
Liverpool encouraged much of the buying
of the day and buyers found only limited
offerings of contracts to supply their de
mand. The technical position Is not as
strong as it was but there is continual
liquidation which keeps the market fairly!
healthy. At the same time, it would be
Idle to say that reactions are not to he ex
ported at these levels and after such ad
vances. It is a market in which caution,
common sense and wide margins are the
best safeguards.
Opening at the advance, the market rose
with moderate reactions to a net gain of
5» to it points, closing at a net Improvement
of 52 to 6ft points.

CORN HITS HIGHER
AFTER BOARD FIXES
A MAXIMUM PRICE
CHICAGO, June 0.—Sensational price ad*
vances in the corn market with buying on
a tremendous scald rssulted today from
action of the Board of Trade directors Mon
day night establishing 11.65 a bushel as a
maximum limit on quotations of corn In
store eltner for Immediate or future do*
livery. The extreme consequent Jump In
values today was 10% cents and the mar
ket closed firm 6 to 10% cents net higher,
with July at 91.51% and September at
91.44%. Wheat gained % to 4% cents and
finished unsettled at 92.19%. July; and
91.95%, September. The outcome In oats
was a rise of 1% to 2%c and In provisions
a decline of S to 22 cents.
Whatever hopes were entertained that the
fixing of a maximum price would have a
sedative effect on the corn market took
flight the Instant the trading began. • In
stead of reducing the cost of the cereal the
circun stancei that a maximum limit bad
been degmed necessary acted on the bulls
Hke the waving of a red flag, and there
was a Jump of 9% cents shown on the very
first transactions. Apparently the establish
ment of a maximum had been widely taken
to Imply the atrength of bullish predictions
that unless a limit was set the market wae
likely to reach 92. Excessive rains and fur
ther unseasonable cold tended likewise «d
excite apprehension.
Eagerness to purchase corn proved so
great that the crowd completely overflowed
the arena and It was decided to remove
the corn trade as soon aa possible to the big
space formerly devoted to wheat. Mean
while reactions from the excited upward
swing of the market were brief and com
paratlvely unimportant. Late factors in
cluded smallness of rural offerings, advices
that much replanting would be necessary
and the fact that shippers and Industries
had been llbc.al buyers today of corn for1
Immediate delivery. North American avail
able euppllea of corn were estimated at 4,- I
559,000 bushels as against 10,905,000 bushels ;
a year ago.
Wheat and oata hardened because of!
sympathy with corn/ Improved crop proa- i
pacts aa to both wheat and oate tended, ;
however, to offset to a large degree the ef- |
fecta of the corn bulge.
Provisions eased down on continued dull
ness of caah demand and to weakneae In

HAAS-PHILLIPS TO
SHIP OUT POTATOES
General Improvement In the produce trade
of Montgomery was reported by various
dealers Wednesday, due chiefly to the pro
sracted warm spell and absencd of rain,
which has had the effect of drying up local
gardens. Prices on produce and fruit were
practically unchanged.
M. P. Wilcox received a car of California
oranges, worth $4 a box. and a car of Cali
fornia lemons, selling at 96.50 a box. Both"
are advancing.
Perhaps the first car of local potatoes to
be shipped from Montgomery will be sent
out by Haas-Phillips Produce Company
within the next twenty-four hours. This
concern has enough potatoes to fill one car,
and Is hopeful of shipping a second car.
The company Wednesday received ship
ments of lemons, tomatoes, squash and
cucumbera
Nathan Segall has Just gotten in ship
ments of cantaloupes, green corn and bell
peppers, and a car of bananas.
