 As the month advances and 1t becomes niore and more certain that the next re- port will be a good one. the tone becomes weaker It will be difficult to prevent lower prices and It seems reasonably certain that between this and the bureau in July. the market Is likely to go lower than 1t Is now

 Wheat-The market developed some strength carly on the rainy weather and unfavorable European crop advices, and there was enough In the news to star shorts to covering, while St. Louis bough on renorts of rust In Illinois and unset tied weather in the southwest.
 There was some buying by the seaboart but the close could not be called strong although with unsettled weather condi lions during the next few days 1t ma, create enough apprehension to start buy Ing, but on sharp rallies we would favol sales.
 Corn Trading was rather active In July a stronger feeling developing, althougf European statistics were bearish, but the strength in wheat was a bull help It was sealpers' market and changes may be slight. although should further declines appear we look for an increased demand
 oats-sample lots were half to one point lower, but shippers were good buyers, while the futures were in demand, trade being light, however There were reports from the southwest of new oats being harvested this month, but crop reports from Illinois and Indiana were not favor able.
 Provisions-Receipts were 5000 under es- timate, and were in demand at to 10 cents higher. which gave the market a strong start on products with a stiff de- mand for lard the advances, however, meeting with sales from English houses. The Cudahys and Armours bought lard and ribs while there was selling by some of the smaller packers. The situation is , strong, and If the run of hogs is not greater, prices ray be boosted some.
 Stocks.-'rhe stock market today was alternately strong and heavy. Special ties were prominent. The undertone of the general list was strong. We believe the outcome will be improvement this week Buying of Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit and selling of Metropolitan and heavy short covering in Southern Pacific consti- tuted the features of the market.

Caldwell & Wards Market Letter.

By H. & B. Beer.
 New Orleans, June 20.-Manchester's weekly trade review stated that there was no lack last week in the demand for cloth at figures that generally were unavoidable, though they were isolated, instances of moderate lines being sold, but most buyers are waiting for a lower range of prices. There was considerable demand from China. however. and bleaching cloths were in demand for au- tumn delivery. To keep up their assort- ments. India, South America and the Levant bought small quantities. Yarns of England and American make were easier, the turnover being moderate As has been the custom some time past, pri- vate Liverpool cables gave expressions favorable to a higher range of values, the general opinion being that prices were at safe point, market having discount ed all bearish features. European mar kets were said to have a good undertone and that any favorable circumstance would cause an advance as there was far more desire to buy than there has been for some time, trades being indis- posed to sell. Such sentiment were re- hected in better opening of the English market than looked for. Instead of re- suming trading at about Saturdays close. near months at Liverpool were 5 points up at one time, new crops points high CT, but prices gave way berore the ciose, old crop going out at to points down. new points lower, while spots were ad- yanced points to 6.40d for middling, sales 5000 bales. American markets were governed principally by weather condi- tions over Sunday by news from the spot markets and by reports from the fields. all of which were against the sus- taining of prices. There was little or no rain during the past forty eight hours ex- cept in central and eastern districts where benficial showers fell, though no state but Alabama complained for want of moisture last Tuesday and in this in- stance only in few southern and west ern counties. As if to make conditions look better official forecast promised scattered showers in all sections, partic- ularly for east Gulf and south Atlantic states where 1t is claimed showers are wanted. Our crop advices by private wire today, and we received them from every district of the belt, showed further inn provement in crop, especially in Texas where there is less talk of damage bv boil weevils, and in this connection we can expect a favorable crop review to- morrow.
 The local market opened steady and shade lower than last night; July re- acted to 11.0S October g A, but pressure of offerings influenced values to lower level, July declining to 10. 75; October, SPA at about which level the market closed.
