Governor Hawley vetoed just
one bill calling for a bond issue
OF all that reached him. This
one called for $4,000 for the old
state road between Boise and

because the road had fallen into
dlsuse, the governor said, and
the county authorities had not
done their duty in keeping it up.
4 Two of the so-called health
bills went to the scrap heap to-
day IS the result of the govern
or's veto. One of these was
house bill No. 1877. This was the
weights and measures bill. The
Veto was on the grounds that
this should have been an amend
ment to the present pure food
laws in order that there might
be uniformity.
The second bill vetoed was the
one intended to regulate the sale
OF syrups, molasses and glucose.
1t was vetoed on the ground that
1t was not in harmony with the
national pure food law and the
pure food laws of adjoining
states, that it would require a
different standard from neigh

 COTTON MARKET Optimism of Weather Re- ports Influences Bet
 ter Buying

New York, June Z7.-The cotton, market showed a firmer tone today on covering of old crop shorts and better buying of new crop positions. which appeared to be inspired by the failure of weather reports to show further rain in the west ern belt and rather less favorable crop edvices. The market closed very steady from 18 to 90 points net higher, with old crop positions relatively strong.
 The opening was steady at an advance of to 10 points in response to better cables than expected, and in the first few minutes new crop positions sold from F to IS points above the closing figures of yesterday on reports of dry weather in the western belt, the forecast for generally fair weather in Oklahona and Texas, and 8. private crop report indfcat- ing that an area producing about 1,5oo.- 900 bales in Texas and Oklahoma is in- juriously dry and liable to severe dete- rioration should rains not fall within the next ten days,
 There were also rumors that prelim- mary returns to the National Ginners association showed a slight deterioration in the condition of the crop during the past month but around 13.24o for Octo- Der offerings became heavier and the new crop months eased off slightly from the best The old crop, however, con tinued very firm and during the after noon July contracts sold up to 14.70c or 32 points net higher on covering, while August advanced to 14.64c with shorts evidently influenced by claims that near months have been depressed be- low a parity with foreign markets and that exports from the local stock were likely.
 The strength of the old crop positions helped to sustain the new months dur ing the afternoon notwithstanding the rather more favorable weekly weather report and rumors of showers In tho southwest. and closing prices were only a little off from the best.
 Exporters were buying here in the late trading and there was a continued good trade demand for early new crop deliv- cries. although perhaps the bulk of the new crop buying came from covering of shorts.
 Receipts today 1889 bales, against 2b2S last week and 1856 last year For the week 5000 bales, against 7O56 last week and 25,s43 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 455 bales, against 1886 last year. and at Houston 1s2 bales, against 1si last year.

WHEAT MARKET E
 GIVEN A HOIST
Prices Receive Special Sup port From Big Owners of
 Contract Stock

Chicago, June T.-Disclosure of an. un- usually short interest in July wheat gave a hoist today to the market as whole. Prices received special support from the big owners of the contract stock. In con- sequence latest figures were Kc to 1%c higher than last night. Corn showed a net gain of %c to 1@11sc. and oats a rise ic to 1NQ1ssc The outcome in hog prod umts varied from 10c gerater cost to 221sc decline.
 July wheat was at one time full 1cent above September. as against a discount of Ac last night, Such a wide premium. however, did not last throughout the day. The marlkable display of strength in the market came after an early break due to rains and lower temperatures in the spring wheat states. The buying had as leaders former prominent bulls, who forced shorts to cover. Sentiment, too, was largely influenced by the upward tendency of coarse grain. There was also a hint of danger from frost in the north west. A big decrease in the worlds avail able supply counted in favor of the bull side. Once the bulge had started, no i'm portant backset occurred, though the fina- tone was easy at a slight recession from the top level of the day. During the ses- sion September ranged from SSssc to 9os4c with the close at 901ac, net advance of 1@dhc.
 Reports that three-fourths of the corn crop in Oklahoma was beyond help ow- ing to excessive heat and to lack of mois- ture helped swing prices for the cereal into line at the advance of other grain Forecasts of higher temperatures west had a similar effect, September fluo- tuated between 5s1ac and 601sc, closing easily, but 1@11sc up, at COG flat. Cash grades were firm. No. 3 yellow finished at 56A@57Ac.
 Oats advanced to the highest notch of the season thus far and kept strong to the last. Estimates of the shortage In the crop ran all the way from 25o,0Oo,00O bushels to 375,oO0000 bushels less than last year. An official report from Iowa showed 30 to 40 per cent damage In that state and there was excited speculative buying as a result. Upper and lower linn it's touched by the September option were 451so and 43ssdD431sc, with the close lc net higher at 447sc.
 There was heavy tone in provisions, de- spite the strength of the grain list The cause appeared to be an idea that lead ing longs were changing over from July to September, and would not accept prod net next month. At the end of trading, pork was down 1211d221ac, with lard and ribs irregularly strung out, 10c each way from the figures current 24 hours before.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans. June 27.-Cotton futures opened quiet at an advance or to noints on good cables and continued dry weather in Texas. Good buying orders were Is evidence on the first call and A little later the market firmed up on increased activity and, an increase of speculative interest in the situation Re- ports from several sections of Texas and Oklahoma were unfavorable, indicating that moisture was needed badly.

PEACHES SCARCE ON LOCAL AVENUE Seems To Be No Limit To Supply of CantalOupes
 and WatermelOns

Only a small portion of the peaches were able to withstand the attacks of frost this year. Reports received from farmers throughout the state are that the orcp will be far short of that anticipated, and what few shipments arrive from time to time are easily disposed of at tfancy prices.
 There seems to be no limit to the sup ply of cantaioupes- Crates are arriving by the hundred daily. watermelons are also plentiful, and there. is a good demand for both cantaloupes and melons.
 Vegetables have not yet fully revived from the recent drought. A few ship ments were received yesterday. but these were of very little consequence toward supplying the local demand.
 The fowl trade has been good 8. far this week. Hens are firm at 13 and If cents,

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York. June 27-tspecial)- Liverpool was favorably affected by a bullish crop report that the drouth was severe in Texas and not relieved On these adverses our market quickly ad- vanced some 15 points on the new white The old crop recovered some 30 points from yesterdays close. There Is some uncertainty as to the accuracy of the reports of the rainfall from Texas, offi- cial and private advices differing as to the extent of the recent showers. Never theless the market is and will be con- trolled by the lack of rain in the south west and unless rain comes in few days the market will advance. The near positions appear to be in demand from spot houses on the basis of the low prices of yesterday.
