Some Further Progress Up
ward, Though the Final
Changes Small
New York. June 13.—The Recent violent
breaks in stocks and the equally swift
recovery yesterday’ were followed today
by slower and calmer trading, with some
further progress upward. Final changes
in most cases, however, w'ere small. The
most urgent demands for short centring
seemed to have been met yesterday, and
while there was a further retreat today
by the bears, they were able to buy In
their stocks at better advantage. Invest
ment buying, which was a feature of yes
terday’s market, fell off considerably to
day. A fenf stocks, including Treading,
l*hion Pacific, Amalgamated and Can,
showed substantial gains at times, but
tho movement In general was narrow.
Ne\y Haven, which was affected unfa
vorably by yesterday's wreck, was ex
ceptionally weak, touching a new low
figure at 99U- *
Tn*spite of the slackening demand, sen
timent was more cheerful than for a
long time. Not only here, but irf Lon
don a better feeling prevailed. There was
wme buying here for London asroitnt.
The favorable deductions drawn from the
change of yesterday was reinforced by
tho events of today, particularly in the
tnoney market. Time rates were easier,
although over the year money was still
in scant supply. A spirit of caution still
prevailed, however, and speculative in
terests wished to ascertain, before mak
ing extensive commitments, whether a
definite turn in monetary conditions could
come. Forecasts of the hank statement
Indicated that, another addition to cash
would be shown.
The known movements of currency for
the week indicated a cash gain of $8,000,
000 or $9,000,000.
The bond market was firm. Total sales,
par value, $2,048,000. United States 3h ad
vanced ig per cent on call.

MUCH WANTED RAINS
IN THE MIDDLE WEST
Price of Wheat Lowered asi
Result—Decline 5-8 to
3-4c Net
—
Chicago. June 13.—Much wanted rains
that fell today lowered the price of wheat.
The decline was He to %c‘ net. Corn
lost 14-C to \c and oats Vic to Pro
visions at the finish varied from 2He oh’
to a rise of 7Hc.
It was pointed out that the downpoui
to which Kansas and Nebraska were
treated would be of immense value to
ward the final filling of the wheel crop
in those states, tout speculators attached
even greater importance to fairly good
showers extending through the western
part of the Dakotas, nnd the Canadian
prairies. Need of a soaking for the east
ern part of the spring wheat belt led to
a spasmodic rally. The show of strength,
however, was not lasting, and the bottom
figures of the day were reached .just
before the close. Chances of more rain
in the northwest formed the chief rea
son for the late weakness. It was ulso
noticed that primary receipts were three
times as large as a year ago; 671,000
bushels, against 217,000 bushels. Nebraska
especially was offering wheat here free
ly. Seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour equaled 863,000 bushels.
Heavy offerings from cash concerns
that were unable to sell to the east or
to local industries pulled down corn after
the market had touched a new high level
for the season. Good local speculative
buying caused the early advance.
Damage reports proved insufficient to
sustain oats when holders attempted to
convert paper profits into money.
Provisions, as a rule, scored gains.
Stocks on hand were light, and hogs rel
atively scarce.

COTTON MARKET
IS LESS ACTIVE
Prices Ease Off Under Real
izing—Reaction After
Sharp Advance
__ i
New York. June 13.—The cotton market |
was less active today, with prices easing t
olT under realizing or setting for a re
action after the recent sharp advance.
The close was steady at a net advance
of 1 point on August, but generally 1 to
5 points lower.
The market opened firm at an advance
of 6 to 10 points on the continued strength
in Liverpool and renewed covering, which
seeme 1 to come largely from Wall street
•sources. The more optimistic view of the
financial outlook probably encouraged
some fresh buying in connection with
reports with increased activity among
domestic mills, and an active textile trade
in the west, but old longs took profits
freely on the initiative advance, and
prices soon weakened. There were some
further complaints of low night temper
atures from the eastern belt, and re
ports of threatened insect damage in
central and western belt sections. Other
wise crop advances were generally fa
vorable, however, and indications for
good weather over the week end seemed
to inspire some selling; for a reaction.
Trading became comparatively quiet after
the first hour and the market fluctuated
within a point or two of last night’s
closing figures during the middle of the
day. but there was a little flurry of sell
ing in the afternoon on reports that a
prominent Memphis statistran made the
average condition of the crop over 2!
per cent better than when the govern-j
mont's June condition figures were com
piled. (’losing prices were at the lowest
point of the day with June and July
showing a minimum loss. New Orleans'
and Liverpool houses were credited with
selling rather freely here during the
morning, while comparatively light of
ferings were sufficient to unsettle the
market in the late trading, owing to the
absence of any important support. It
was rumored that about 1000 bales of cot
ton on the way here from the south fori
contract delivery, but it is also reported!
that 4200 bales are to be shipped from j
here to Genoa next week.

LITTLE DOING IN
THE COTTON MARKET
Price of Cotton Works Low
er After Small Initial
Advance
New Orleans. June 13.—After a small In
itial advance today the price of cotton
worked lower. The market had little of
die snap shown on several proceeding
sessions this week, the short interest ap
p<H;red to have been considerably reduced
and Jongs were apparently more disposed
(o tty for profits than for a further rise.
One reason for the lower trend of the
market was the more favorable turn taken
by the weather over the cotton belt. Tem
peratures were higher, next to no rain
was reported, the forecast promised con
tinued dry and somewhat warmer weather
and reports from the fields wet* that
work is progressing fast in the fields, al
though young plants to some extent:
showed the effect of recent cold nights.
Many of the moro advanced sections of
the belt reported blooms, and reports
from eolith Texas were* that the first bale
in the Corpus Christl district would make
its appearance about July 1,
The opening was steady at an advance
of 3 to f» points. In the early trading tho
advance was increased to & to 6 points,
which was the high of the day. Prices
gradually sagged until they were 0 to 30
points under the last quotations of yes
terday. The afternoon was dull. The
market closed barely ateady at the .lowest
of the day.

been generally favorable and yesterday,
a prominent Memphis, authority re
ported an Improvement on average con
ditions of over 2 per cent since the end

The firmer tone of the market there

result of any material change in the
new crop outlook, but the strength of
the old crop remnant, and an impres
sion that European spinners have tied
up a. large number of local contracts
against prospective requirements doubt
less rendered the trade nervous over
the possibility of less favorable crop
advices should unseasonably low tem
peratures continue.
Further shipments from the local
stock have reduced the certificated sup

Increasing the uneasiness of the near
month shorts, while bulls have had
