 ".Hey, mister, it that your girl over there?'
 "'Yes, suppose so,' said l.
 "'Well, tell her to go home,' said he. "'Us felers wants to go in swimmin'
 ''I told the young lady of this odd request but she had not yet finished her bouquet and she said with laugh 1 must tell the boys she wouldn't look. She'd shut her eyes.
 This they were duly told. And they consulted gravely on it. Then the spokesman returned to me an said:

COTTON S[UMPS IN
EXCITED SESSION
Indictment of Cotton Men Is
Cause of Decline
-rx c-1r-1ar
SELLING VERY GENERAL
weather Conditions Are Better but a
Private BuIIish Report Is Issued
which Causes Upturn Before
the slump Comes

New York, June 17.-After a compar-
sion today's cotton market became ex-
cited owing to rumors that indictments
were to be asked for in the cotton pool
case and there was a sensational break
In the late trading which carried July
cotton off to a net loss of about 81 so per
bale. Covering and a renewal of bull sup
port caused a rally and despite general
nervousness the closing tone was steady
at a net loss of only to 20 points The
market opened steady at decline of =
to 9 points in response to lower Liverpool
cables and scattering liquidation, which
was also inspired by the more favorable
weather map.
The improvement in weather conditions
was Offset by a bullish private condition

S0.4 per cent against a condition of so s
per cent of the crop respectively report
ed by the same authority toward the end
of last month"; indicating an improve
ment of 40 of 1 per cent OF the period
between May 25 and June 10. Recent sell
ers who operated in expectation of a
bearish July bureau were surprised 1t
caused enough covering to steady the
market during the middle of the day, the
more particularly because leading bulls
bid for large blocks OF July and August
whenever the market showed any sign of
weakness.
In the last hour, however. rumors that
indictments had been found against the
bull leaders started old crop liquidation. as
a result of which July sold off to 14.s1c
net lower.
The new crop sympathized to the ex-
tent of 10 or II points, but when it was
seen that the bull leaders were giving
the market active support at the decline
shorts turned for cover, causing rally
of about 70 points on old crop positions
Spinners' takings for the week showed n
considerable falling off as compared with
the last week, probably by refiexing in

cles, but the into sight figures were small

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, June 17.-Cotton flu
lures opened steady at decline of

very favorable weather map. After the
call the declirp was widened to )
to points on a weather forecast that
promised continued fair weather in the
western half of the cotton belt. Bears
sent out many kilograms calling at
tention to the small spot sales in the
Liverpool market and this resulted in
commission houses receiving more SELL
Ing orders than usual from outsiders.
Scalpers, however, did the best part of
the business around the ring in the first
half hour of trading and their sales
held prices down to the low levels

statement was issued and 1t proved to
be very bullish, putting the amount of
cotton into sight for the week at only
3s.743 bales against 72,319 last year and

WHEAT IS HIGHER
ON CROP REPORTS
Fear of Damage By Rust Is
Factor in Advance
SHORTS COVER FREELY
offerings Are Light in Corn and With
Reports of Farmers Holding Prices
Go Up-Oats Close Higher,
Provisions Irregular

Chicago, June 17.-Belief that the spring
wheat crop Is facing the most serious
condition since the black rust year
elutched many spectators today. Light
showers and promises of more did not
greatly alter the conviction of the ma
jority Fine harvest weather in the win
ter wheat section received little notice,
and neither did the fact that Kansas
and Nebraska are expected to produce
more than was thought possible three
months ago. The market closed &c to
1A@1Ac higher than last nights figures.
Corn finished 3sQ1ac to 1sc up and oats
ss@1ac to sc. Last prices for provisions
were SC higher to 10c lower.
1t was prevailing view that although
general rains would do a great deal to
offset present unfavorable prospects for
spring wheat, scattered showers could
only help In a small way. Nervous shorts
covered freely refusing to go over till to-
morrow with losses. At the outset there
appeared hope that the weather and crop
situation northwest might be somewhat
improved, but soon advances began to
come from experienced people that lack
of moisture and high temperatures were
running things into a dangerous position.
simultaneously the crowd observed that
two or three big houses with private ad-
vices from the spring wheat states were
taking practically all the offerings. When
the northwest dispatches began to look
more alarming the trade here took to the
buying side of the market with rush.
Attempts at profit-taking led to several
reactions, but the highest prices of the
session were touched in the last 10 min
utes The close, however, was easy. Sep
TENDER ranged from 9Ossc to 92c, and
closed up at 91ssc. July wheat was said
to be working toward a carrying charge
basis, In anticipation of the movement OF
the new crop, and did not keep pace with
the more deferred months.
Offerings were light in a speculative
way in the corn pit and also from the In
terror. 1t was asserted farmers were too
busy cultivating to do any selling, but
the market, Influenced by wheat strength.
showed little tendency to slide back. Sep
TENDER fluctuations were between 5sAc
and 59kc, with the close steady at 59Ac, a
net gain of 1zc. The cash market was
firm No yellow closed at 591a@59s4c
Buying of oats was largely to cover
shorts. The selling was not heavy. Sep
TENDER price variations had as limits $3.50
and 3e14c, with the close CSC UP at s6lsc.
Barring pork, which was rather mac
tive. trading in provisions leaned to the
selling side, the supply of hogs being
larger than expected. At the end of bust
ness lard showed a net loss of SC to 5@
TIC. and ribs, b171kc to 10c. Pork was
unchanged, Be up.
