FURTHER INCREASE
IN JULY PREMIUM
Activity of Old Crop Posi-
tiOns Again Features
Cotton Market

New York, June 6.-The activity and
feature in the cotton market again to-
day, leading to further increase In the
July premium over October and other
new crop deliveries Closing prices were
steady at net advance of to 20
points on the old crop, while new crop
months were points higher to 3 points
lower.
Ihe market opened steady at an ad-
vance of 1 to points on renewed COW
erng of old crop months, inspired by
relatively Arm cables, increased English
spot sales. further loss in local
stocks and the appearance of continued
buying by houses with foreign con-
neetions. Weather reports were con-
sidered generally favorable, particular
ly as the outlook was for lower tenn
peratures and showers in the western
belt, but new crop months were in
fuenced by the strength of near pasi-
tions, and after some early irregularity
the whole list worked up to a net ad-
vance of from 1S to rs points on July
and August, with the more active new
crop positions selling to points net
higher. The difference between New
York July and Liverpool narrowed TO
about 100 points during the morning
and there was some foreign selling of
July, presumably for the purpose Of
realizing on old straddles, but Liver
poQl people seemed to be buying Au-
gust, while there also was a consid-
cradle demand for old crop months by
local interests, who were selling late
new crop deliveries. Toward the close
offerings increased probably in the way
OF, realizing over the Weekend and the
last prices showed reactions of several
points from the best. July contracts
sold as high as 11.S6 or fully so points
above the low level of last Monday and
at the highest price reached since last
April. There was a little southern SELL
ing of old crop positions on the advance,
supposed to be against low grade cot
ton in the south, but offerings from
this source were not heavy and other
crop buyers were predicting that fur
ther advances would be necessary to
attract any important shipments from
the south.

COTTON NERVOUS
AND UNSETTLED
Strength of July Position
Blocked Influence of
Bearish Crop

New Orleans, June 6.-Cotton was nerv-
Gus and unsettled today. The strength
of the July position blocked the influ-
ence of very bearish crop and weather
reports. Longs bought just enough cot
ton to hold the market up and the gos-
sip of the floor charged them with try
ing to take profits at every favorable
opportunity. Several times the market
sagged under what looked like realizing.
Shorts bought some cotton, but at times
fed out moderate amount of fresh con-
tracts based on the favorable news from
the fields.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices to points up. Cables were
better than due and much bullish gossip
was afloat concerning the July option
Until late in the day July showed more
strength than any other month on the
boards but August closed IL points up
while July closed points up
Other active months displayed a net
gain of only / point. 1t was a day OF
nervous and narrow lamentations. Al
one time October showed net loss OF
point. but the other months did moi
drop off as far.
The weather map was cloudy with scat.
tered showers in the cotton region. The
forecast predicted showery weather over
the belt Crop reports said that young
cotton was growing fast Some boil
weevil talk came from Mississippi and
Alabama, but it attracted little serious
attention.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. June 6.-(Special 1.-The
feature today was the early demand
from Liverpool for August, apparently
based on the belief that July would
be taken up and shipped .his In turn
must have been based upon the ease
with which the English importers have
been able to dispose of the cotton taken
on May shipped to Liverpool.
When many of the local trade found
this demand. they decided to reverse
the recent straddles they have been
making and proceeded to buy August
and sell the new crop. Just at the close
the market was depressed by these
transactions. Many took profits on
July. thinking Liverpool would sell
rather than receive now that the two
markets had come closer together, but
this does not explain the foreign pur-
chases of August.
The market closed confused with
traders looking for lower foreign mar
kets tomorrow.

Chicago. June 6.-Sensational crop dam

wheat an upward whirl today. The close

gains: Corn. 1-164lsc; oats. Bc to l4@9sc,

an average condition of 50 per cent. were
declared by experts to have receded to a
condition of so per cent.
The last named figures were said also
to make wide allowance of possible ben
eft from future rains. Because of hot
winds, a huge share of the grain in the
section named was asserted to be actually
dead, and the situation in general far
worse than had been supposed. Conges-
ton In the July option here added to the
fears of shorts. There were signs that
July contracts were largely held by
strong interests, and might be forced to
stiff premium over September.
On the other hand ST. Louis reported
July relatively weak, owing to the near
ness of new wheat and because of threat
ened insurance difficulties. Profit taking
led to a decided setback at one stage but
the upward tendency was again in full
swing at the end.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
equaled 1,125000 bushels Primary re-
ceipts of wheat were 5S1,000 bushels,
against 222,000 bushels. year ago
Corn received help chiefly from the
wheat bulge. Attempts by specula-
tive leader to acquire a big line of Sep
