Grafton from the top soil. The rally
was also partly traceable to the eror-
nous decrease in the worlds avail
able supply 100000 bushels, against
l,0sT.00o year ago.
Late in the week decidedly strong
er feeling was noticeable. but espe-
oially in the Northwest, and particu-
larly in the distant or new crop con-
tracts. which advanced more rapidly
than July, and as result there was
material lessening of the wide
breach between July and September n
Minneapolis, which is now about II
cents, against 12k@123.4 cents last
week
This radical change in differences
created little wonderment as there was
continued apprehension regarding pros
poets for the growing crop in the
Northwest, the outlook being consid-
cred somewhat gloomy in view of the
protracted drought and the extremely
hot wea Their, the mercury in some places
registering higher than any June days
in ten years. Therefore 1t was feared
that the July report of the Department
of Agriculture would show a materially
lower condition unless copious rains
should fall within few days. Because
of the facts described. many holders of
July for the rise We're unloading ana
replacing with September or December.
A factor In the general upturn was the
encouraging cables, European markets
being stronger under the influence OF
less favorable Continental crop re-
ports, and also the exceedingly small
worlds shipments, which promise to be
even lighter than last week. and hence
another big reduction is expected in
the quantity on passage
Exporters have been idle most of the
week, as their limits We're too low, and
especially on spring wheat, which was
offered sparingly and at higher figures,
but winter wheat was offered rather
more freely to arrive at comparatively
low figures, because Of the excellent
harvesting returns from the Southwest

conspicuous features in corn markets

MUCH UNCERTAINTY
OVER THE JULY DEAL

New Orleans, La. June 19.-The cot
ton market this week has been quiet
and uncertain, but showing decline
for the week.
In the first place. there is the pres
ent uncertainty over the July deal. to
say nothing about what may develop
in the case against the bull clique. Any
developments in this directions will only
make more uncertainty in the market
itself, some traders are inclined to
believe that the first notice day for
July will bring some sort of an answer
to the question of what is to be done
with that delivery, but the first no.
tice day for July will not be reached
this week. On the close of last week
il was freely predicted in market mat
ters that 1t would be the policy of the
leading bulls to allow matters to drift
along until July should be the current
month. 1t is generally expected that
a policy of bulls is not to put prices
up so long as there is danger of at
tracing any great amount of cotton
to New York to be delivered on con-
tract Because OF the nearness of
the first notice day for July, IL is
probable that trading by outsiders in
the July delivery will be less in volume
than heretofore. and chiefly confined to
the liquidation of old lines. rather than
to the accumulation of new lines Au-
