CLOSE IS AT THE LOWEST

New York. June 24-The cotton market showed a reactionary tendency following the recent sharp advance and closed bare ly steady at a net decline of to 13 points under realizing
 The opening was steady at a decline of to points in response to disappointing cables, less favorable foreign trade ad vices and better weather reports. There was a good deal of buying on a scale down, but offerings were very heavy and the decline was not checked until the ac- tive months sold about to 10 points net lower. A rally to about the closing prices of the previous day during the middle ses- sion as a result of covering by recent sellers for a turn and local bull support was followed by rehewed weakness dur ing the afternoon under heavy Chicago offerings, active southern selling &C., companying the better weather reports and local liquidation for over the week. end. The lowest point was reached late in the day and at the close practically at the bottom.
 Private cables reported unfavorable trade conditions in Manchester and d slackening demand for actual, but other cables indicated that the easier tendency of the Liverpool market had been due to realizing on better weather. Such southern crop adyices as reached the trade were bullish but there was much less of this sort of news circulating than recently and this fact probably promoted more or less natural profit taking in view of the recent sharp advance, the ap- preaching weekend and the fact that next week private and official condition figures will be publshedr preceding a three-day adjournment.

MARKET BECOMES HEAVY

New York, June 24.-The rally in stocks extended to the accompaniment of very active market for a time today. The ex- treme dullness and heaviness of the mar ket after this demand had been satisfied pointed to the inference that it came from uncovered shorts rather than from re- newed accumulation of long stocks The Union Pacific preferred mystery retained its potency at the outset as was shown by the rapid rise in it's price to 110 which was 61s points higher than yesterday, and more than P points higher than the clos ing quotation of Monday of this week. Ingenuity exhausted itself in attempts to explain this movement by a supposed pending project for it's retirement on ad- vantageous terms, its share in coming disbursement of the company's holdings of securities or, in the last supposition, a manipulation movement simply for the purpose of helping in the distribution of stocks elsewhere in the list.
 The fact that much of the demand for the last few days for this stock was re- ported as coming from London added to its impressiveness on the minds of the traders and also increased the mystery surrounding the movement. Faith in the Likelihood of most of the rumors regard ing the stock waned when the scanty demand for it at high prices was per- ceived and it was allowed to slip back by wide intervals in the prices between the sales. It was reflected also that the brisk demand for stocks from London might be connected with the conclusion of a stock market settlement there and the existence of a large short account.
 The heavy decline which had occurred in copper industrials built up particular ly large bear account in that group in London, which rebound in the price of the metal drive to cover today. Holders of Union Pacific preferred stock con cluded that sales might be Effected to advantage at the high price touched to- day. The passing of this influence de- priVed the rise in the general list of most of it's inspiration. The continued ease of money does not put out of consideration the possibility of a rise in call loan rates about the first of July in connection with the half yearly settlements.
 The decision of the stock exchange au- thorities to keep the exchange closed from July 2 to the following Tuesday, offers chances for added pressure on stock mar let borrowers on call who would seek re- sources to carry the interval at period when demand for money might be ac-

WHEAT RECOVERS
 PART OF LOSSES First Reports from Argentina
 Aid the Market BULL LEADERS BUY FREELY Good Prospects for New Crop of Corn Cause General Liquidation and Prices Drop-oats Easy and
 Provisions Firm.
BULL LEADERS BUY FREELY

Chicago, June 24.-Wheat prices today regained part of the ground lost on the previous session owing to vigorous sup port by bull leaders. At the close prices were Ad5sc above yesterdays final fig ures. Corn continued it's downward course and closed weak. Oats were easy and provisions firm.
 Attention of traders in the wheat pit was turned temporarily from domestic conditions to the foreign situation partic- ularly that in Argentina, where frost is reported to have caused some damage to the growing crop. Shipments for the week from that country were also much smaller than for the corresponding time a year ago. The Liverpool market partial ly reflected these bullish advices in an ad- vance of 3lsQ315d. Several bull leaders, ignoring the extremely favorable crop re- ports that came in from all parts of this country, bought freely the greater part of the day. Their demand was chiefly for July delivery. but there was also good demand for the September and December options. The nearby delivery manifested the greatest buoyancy and advanced 1A from the low point of the session The arrival of three cars of new wheat at St. Louis, two cars of which were No. 2 red and were auctoned off at $1. 30 per bushel prompted considerable miscellaneous sell ing during the final half of the day The market closed strong with July at $1 137s
 The magnificent prospects for the new corn crop caused general liquidation in corn, resulting in net declines for the day of 1s@1c. The principal selling pres sure was on the July delivery, and that option showed the greatest weak ness. There was little demand for the cash grain and prices at the sample tables were off from 1c to 2c The market closed weak at almost the bottom.
 Cash houses and country holders were free sellers of oats early in the session. which resulted in considerable weakness. Later, however, the market developed a much steadier tone on covering by shorts. A decline of from 1c to 20 in the price of the cash grain was a bearish factor early in the session, but the principal in fuence was the favorable condition of the new crop. The market closed fairly steady, with prices a shade higher to 3sc lower compared with yesterdays final figures.
 Trade in provisions was quiet, but the tone of the market was firm owing to buying by shorts. There was also some buying on a decrease of hog receipts in the west. Prices at the close were 5c to 15c higher than the previous final quo tations

 Advices from Liverpool are that the clearing map and uncertainty as to bu- reau report probably accentuate the natural disposition to pause around six pence That feeling appears current here at about 1114 cents and there is more tendency today to take quick profits on the long side and favor the short one at least temporarily.

 Futures opened with the active months to points below the close yesterday.

Bene- ficial rains in portions of the southwest, where hot, dry weather has been in evil dence for some time. also served to send the market to lower levels In the ab- sence of any material bulish factors, the upward tendency which has been charac- terizing the future market was for the time seriously checked.
