Market Letter.

New York, June 13.-During the
past week the market has advanced
slowly, but steadily, and with London
showing an increased interest in our
market, opening prices today were at
about the highest of the movement.
Thereafter fractional declines brought
about by profit taking. were general
throughout the list 1t is not to be
expected that the upward movement
will be continuous or without reac-
ton, although today's declines were
insignificant and the tone of the
market was always relative steady.
During the morning hours tocay
wheat declined to the low point of
the movement, but subsequently raj
lied a cent and ruled strong, though
dull, to the close. The decline I'D
prices during the past week has ABOUT
discounted the favorable crop report,
but continued favorable weather VIII
check the growth Of any bullish sentl-
ment. At the present level, however,
there does not appear to be much
profit on the short side and any bad
crop news will cause a sharp rally.
We favor the purchase OF the SepLem-
Der options, which are at present
showing the greatest relative strength.
Today's market for cotton was eX-
cited and irregular. An opening
break exceeding twenty points was
quickly followed by an almost COM
plete recovery, after which prices
again sagged off below the opening
prices. AS a considerable part OF the
short interest has been covered, the
technical position of the market is
weakened and the new crop months
should be a sale on any further ad-
vance.
Today's crop reports are decidedly
more favorable and the crop is APP

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, June 13.-Cloudy
weather and the decline in futures
checked the movement in spot cotton.
Sales $50 bales, including 100 to ar

were irregular and about 100 points
lower at the opening. The lower prices
were attributed to the decline in New
York 1t was a narrow market and
neither bulls nor bears showed any
special disposition to operate. In the
summer positions fluctuations of ten
points were frequent, while there were
some bulges and breaks of 20 points
between succeeding dates. The bulls
appeared to be we'll satisfied with the
position and did not attempt to boost
the prices. At the lowest levels cotton
was quietly picked up, presumably for
the account of the leading longs. In
the trading July first lost 1 s points
from Saturdays close at 1928 ad-
vanced to 1850, declined to 1902, re-
covered to 1925 and declined to 1908.
There were also frequent fluctuations
in other positions. The market closed
quiet with net losses of % to 5 points.

(By the Associated Press

New York, June 13.-The cotton
market opened weak at a decline of
1904 points in response to lower
English cables and the generally fav-
cradle average of weather news over
Sunday. The declines attracted con-
tinuatiOn of the covering noted toward
the close of last week, however and
after a further loss of two or three
points on the active months, the list
rallied violently, recovering most OF
the early loss. But demand slackened
at the advance. 1t looked as though
most of the weaker short interests had
covered and with private crop adviceS
continuing favorable the market soon
lost it's firmness and began to drop
downward under liquidation, New Or
leans selling, the continued weakness
of Liverpool, where prices did not re-
spond to the local rally, and talked of
renewed bear pressure from Wall
Street sources. AS the list declined,
trading became somewhat less active.
There were frequent short periods
during which there would be slight
reaction as a result of room covering,
but in a general way prices ruled easy
right UP to the close, which was with
in a point or two of the bottom, but
a steady decline of ESQ 81 points, Au
gust leading the decline.
Transactions were estimated at 400,-
900 bales. 1t was reported that two
bales of the new crop cotton had been
brought into sight at Brentwood,
Texas, one of which was to be shipped
to st. Louis and the other to Calves
ton. This is much earlier than usual,
but the trade seems to take it that the
cotton question has been the result of
an extra effort in that direction, and
that the actual crop is rather behind
than ahead of the average. Selling
was encouraged by expectations that
the weekly crop report tomorrow
would make favorable showing. bar
ring possible illusions to the recent
complaints of overfows in the south
west and by bearish advices received
from private sources concerning the
slackness of spot demand in the South
ern markets.
Receipts at the ports today were
2,309 bales, against 2,126 bales last
week and 1.477 bales last year. For
the week $4,000 bales against 1924
last week and 1885 last year. To-
days receipts at New Orleans 1,13S

Stocks and Bonds.

New York, June 13.-The flattening
out of the speculative upward move
ment in prices was a sore diSappoint-
ment today to the professional trading
element. The rise which developed In
the latter part of last week had arous-
ed great hopes that the market was al
last stirred out of it's rut. The pre-
sumption was widespread that the adj
vance in prices had received counte-
nance and assistance from some of the
large banking and railroad interests,
for whose cooperation in the market
has been vainly looked for by the trad
ers for many weeks past. mere was
no evidence today of buying of this
character and when the smaller class
or SPECTATORS attempted TO TAKE
pronts on some of the holdings takeI
over last week, they found they mac
the market to themselves and no ab-
sorpuve power for their moderate OF
ferings. The reasons which the habit
ual trades expected always to be pres
ent Tor movement of prices were
Varlously assigned. Probably the true
explanation would be that suppositions
as to the influential character of last
weeks buying were mistaken. The
opening advance was promptly chilled
by the heaviness of United States Stee
preferred and unfavorable conclusions
were drawn from the personality Of
the brokers employed in that stock
who were supposed to be Informed OF
trade affairs. The weekly discussion
of railroad traffic by officials was de.
cidedly peSSimiStic and served to upset
the calculations that better traffic con.
ditions for the railroads would result
from the better crop conditions of last
week.
