played With Less Selling
EARLY BREAK IN PRICES
After the First HUN of Selling the Mar

Covering BY shorts and Very
Good Spot Demand

New York, June 1.-The cotton market
showed continued nervousness today, but
trading was less active and fluctuations
less violent The sharp early break car

movement, but later the market had a
good rally and the close was steady at a
net gain of 2 to points.
The market opened steady at unchanged
prices to an advance of points on better
cables than due and covering. There was
a renewal of heavy Wall street and west
ern liquidation right after the openings;
however, weather condition were favor
able and with private condition and crop
reports in line with the recent more opti-
mistic view of the prospect prices quickly
broke July contracts sold off to l415c,
or 25 points below the closing figures OF
last night and points under the low
level of yesterday afternoonh while later
positions showed net loss OF about to
IS points
Stop loss orders were uncovered on this
decline, but after. they had been executed
the selling of long cotton seemed to be
less urgent, and the market rallied on
Liverpool buying and covering of shorts
and a demand for the new crop from
spot houses Fluctuations were more or
less irregular during the remainder OF
the day. but the general ruling of the
market was steadier and last prices were
within to points of the best

SUBSTANTIAL GAINS
ARE MADE IN WHEAT
Bull Movement Against Decline
Is Successful
SOME CROP COMPLAINTS
Corn Advances on Account of Better
Eastern shipping Demand and Small
Country Sales-Oats Advance
and Provisions Decline

Chicago. June PROMISES that the turn
would come sometime were at last ful-
filled today in the wheat market. There
was a successful bull movement with sub
stantial gains in prices for the first time
in man, days. Perhaps the most enec-
tive aid was the cash wheat demand
which kept at a better rate than had
been expected. The close was steady at
not far from the best prices of the ses-
sion. with a net advance of &c to lSQ
he. Corn finished 1s@Ac to &c up, and
oats 14@3sc to sc. Final figures for pro-
visions were at a decline of 221sQ321sc.
To some extent the Improvement in
wheat was due to natural reaction from
an oversold local condition. There was
help also by reason of r1rm ana higher
market at Liverpool Reports from the
spring wheat states complained of cool,
dry weather and slow growth.
The fact that sales of more than 20OO,OOO
bushels of cash wheat to millers had been
made In the last three days practically
disposing of all the No. l northern wheat
brought here from Duluth, was another
influence on the buying side of the wheat
futures. A local expert also gave out a
crop estimate placing the total at $780,
900, Oo0 against a yield ofs 737, 0oI,coO BUSH
els last year. On the other hand, an Of
fetal report from Oklahoma indicated that
harvest there would be the largest on rec
ord, 10000, 900 bushels more than last year.
A northwestern authority, too, figured
that the spring wheat acreage had in
creased 8 per cent in the three chief
states. Nevertheless shorts put the prices
up on themselves. Reactions were slight
and scarce. The cash sales here today
amounted to nearly 100000, including some
to so to Milwaukee Mills September
ranged between 91Ac and s2asc, closing at
92ls@9214c, a net gain of 1d11c.
Corn advanced principally on account
of much better eastern shipping demand
and because of smaller sales from the
country. The weather was still too cool
and shorts were free buyers. September
fluctuations had as limits 5s1sq5SAc and
5s%c. The close was steady, ss@1ac up
