Huckleberres are now on sale on Nor

June apples are also in evidence. Black

MARKET WEAKENS
IN THE AFTERNOON
Cotton Closes Steady at a
Net Decline of 8 to Is
Points

New Orleans June 1.-THE cotton
market was nervous and narrow in the
morning session today, With no decided
tendency, but in the afternoon there
was decided downward movement on
selling for both accounts, stimulated
by pessimistic reports from the stock
market and a general feeling that the
market was weak technically as the re-
suit of the recent heavy buying. Cos
sip of the floor said that the long side
missed the support that has been COM
ing from covering shorts. Many bears
claimed that the short interest had been
greatly lessened and that the market
was actually overbought. The unseas-
tonably cold weather in the belt and re-
ports of too much rain in a few sections
had little influence on prices.
On the opening the tone was steady
and prices We're | point up to l point
down. Gables were unfavorable, but
We're balanced by the cold and rainy
weather map and the forecast of more
precipitation to come. In the early
trading prices stood | to points up.
| This was the high level of the day.
During the morning the market went
| 5 to points under yesterdays close
| toward the middle Of the day there was
a partial recovery but in the afternoon
| the market weakened standing at the
\ lowest at a net decline of 10 to 10
| points, and closing steady at a net de-
| cline of to | 5 points.

DECIDED UPTURN
IN WHEAT MARKET
Important Enlargement of
Investment Demand
the Cause

Chicago June 11.--Important en-
largement of investment demand conse-
quent to some extent ON the possibility
of a dry weather scare in the spring
crop belt led to a decided upturn today
in wheat The market closed steady
at a net advance of u @11sc. Corn
gained q nc to,1 ;@1Ac, and oats Il q
sc to = a sc.
Provisions outcome was the same as
last night to 121sc C up.
Trade in wheat broadened from the
start. Besides the lack of rain north
west, there was .encoura cement for
bulls in the early cheerfulness regard
ing stocks and because of hints or re-
newed export inquiry. Aggressive lead
ership. too counted good deal in driv-
ing shorts to cover and forcing prices
higher.
Persistent buying of September wheat
for one of the largest houses attracted
considerable attention. Less notice was
taken of the fact that July delivery
was simultaneously being unloaded by
the same concern. AT no time was any
decided tendency to react apparent.
Late dealings were lnHueHceu Dy ulS-
patches showing that the need of rain
extended beyond the Canadian line
Seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour equalled 521 900 bushels; primary
receipts of wheat were 4S5,000 bushels;
a year ago. 236,000 bushels.
Corn finished at the highest level of
the season. Lightness of stocks here
and damage reports from central Illi-
nois formed the chief incentive of buy
ers. Most of the strength of oats was
derived from wheat and corn.
Profit taking by longs restrained
provisions from an all around advance
with grain and hogs. The close was
unsettled.
Eutllre nuOtatinus were a follows.

The market opened steady at a decline

CANADIAN PACIFIC
LOWEST SINCE 1871 |
Steel Below so for the First
Time Since 19O9-UniOn
Pacific Was. 1877 3-4

New York. June 1.-THE excitement
which attended yesterdays violent break
in stocks was absent from todays trad
ing. which was comparatively calm, ani
on a much smaller scale. Some progress
was made toward a recovery in the early
session, but the effect of this movement
was nullified by. {. severe break shortly
before the close Canadian Pacific was
the particular point of weakness, falling
nearly points from its high price of the
day to the lowest figure since 15f1. Steel
sold below so for the first time since 1909.
Union Pacific dropped to 137A, and a num-
ber of other low records were made, with
virtually the entire active list selling be-
low yesterdays close.
Bear selling was perhaps the principal
factor in the break which was a disap-
pointment 20 traders who believed that 4
substantial rally was due after yesterday s
collapse. This bel:ef was strengthened
by more cheerful reports from London.
and the rise in American stocks there, fol-
lowed by a material upturn at the opening
here. A further favorable factor was the
absence Of European liquidation which
has been dragging heavily on this market
smaller. being estimated at about 10,99
shares divided between purchases aud
sales Less Importance was attached to
the Minnesota rae case decision, as a
market factor. and there was some dlspo-
sition TO emphasize the points in the de-
cision, overlooked at first. which favor
the railroads
These considerations as well as the
technical condition. Of the market were
effective in supporting the list for a time,
but it WIS soon evident that there was no
sustained demand for stocks, either fror'
investors or speculators and the market
gradually lost its strength.
Conditions in the. money market came in
for considerable discussion. Rates ior
time loans were 81 -onger. and 1t was said
that-even these higher rates were nominal,
practically no tirle money being offered.
Short trm note issues amounting to nearly
$50 900 were announced, and it was ar
sued that they would impose an addition
al strain upon the money market.
