WEEK END SESSION
UNUSUALLY STEADY.
Market Makes a Moderate
Net Advance in New
Orleans

New Orleans, June 1.-THE week -end
session in the cotton market was sur
prisingly steady after a week of bull
operations. Much to the surprise of the
ring traders the market made mod
crate net advance; they had put out
short cotton on the idea that week
end liquidation of long contracts would
cause at least moderate setback.
The advance was all the more sur
prising because it was made in the face
of the most favorable weather map Of
the week, while the forecast promised
fair weather for Sunday over the en-
tire cotton region and indications were
for further warming up in temper
atures. Reports from the belt were
more encouraging than otherwise and
they claimed that fast headway was
being made with work in the fields.
Except for a slight decline around the
first call. bearish news had no in
fiuence on prices.
The opening was steady. unchanged
to points down, compared with the
close of yesterday. Cables were better
than due. but they were offset by the
favorable weather returns and bear
fsh crop accounts and a little short
selling from scalpers who looked for
a weekend reaction. At the lowest the
trading months were to points un-
der yesterday s,close. The market grad
ually did better until late in the MORN
ing 1t stood to 10 points over yester-
days final figures. The close was steady

vance was generally set down to buy

Indications Point to Con-

New York, June 14-An early setback
was recovered In the cotton market this
morning and the close was very steady at
net advance of to 8 points. The OPEN
ing was steady at a decline of 8 to points
with the active months selling about 6 to
points net lower during the early trad
ing. Gables were about as expected and
reviews of the cotton goods trade indi-
Gated continued good business. particu-
larly in the west, but the outlook was for
generally fair and warmer weather over
the week end, and in addition to realizing
there appeared to be some local selling on
favorable new crop conditions and a feel
ing that the short interest had been ma
teriaily reduced. Offerings were checked
at the decline, however, by a bullish view
OF the census report on supply and distri-
button for the month of May which indi-
Gated continued active consumption by
domestic mills, and the market later raS
lied on covering in the absence of any i'm
portant offerings. Houses with foreign
connections were moderate sellers of the
near months here, and Memphis was cred
tied with selling new crop positions, but
New Orleans bought some crop deliveries,
and there was considerable scattering
demand from Wall street sources during
the late trading.

WEEKLY REVIEW Of
COTTON MARKET

New York June 14.-Jobbers are buy.
ing their fall requirement of domestic
cottons in very careful way and are
supplying only a small portion of nor
NAL needs. Few operators are providing
any goods to be held, and the absence
of speculation of any character gives
the market an unusual appearance of
hesitancy The combined influence of
tight money and tariff uncertainties is
apparently the controlling force in the
situation The strong feature of the mar
ket is that stocks in first and second
hands are unusually low and the spot
sales are frequent enough to keep prices
steady. Revisions of prices for fall trad
ing have been made on wide and narrow
sheetings, tickings and bleached muslins,
and after fair purchases, values have
stiffened again.
Fruit of the loom A bleached muslins
were reduced from S9sc to SIC, at which
price all the goods offered were taken,
and the goods are not at value prepara-
tory to an advance. Wide sheetings were
revised only cents yard. Hosiery and
underwear manufacturers have named
prices for spring on basis ofslast sea-
SON. and the men now on the road are
getting moderate sized advance orders.
Wash goods sales in the jobbing houses
were very successful during the week.

TURBULENT WEEK IN
SECURITIES MARKET
More Hopeful Feeling, How
ever in the Financial
World

New York, June 1.-THE most violent
decline in stocks of the year, followed ny
recovery almost equally rapid. made the
week a turbulent enc In the securities
market. Pessimism had prevailed for
months in the financial district. Values
had fallen steadily until many leading
stocks were Is 20 25 points below the high
figures of ire year. World wide money
tension, tariff legislation, a railroad re-
cevershp, European selling of American
securities, evidences of contraction in
some lines of business, all tended to In
crease the weight under which the mar
let was staggering. Then came the SUI
preme courts decision in the Minnesota
rate case, which Wall street hastily con-
strued as decidedly unfavorab1e to the
railroads.
That a reaction should have followed
was to be expected in the usual course Of
affairs growing out of technical market
conditions. But the extent of the reac-
tion and the continued strength shown
throughout the remainder of the week
made 1t evident that a change in sentiment
had at last come over the financial dis
trict While it is recognized that unfavor-
able factors still persist there is, tempor-
arily at least, more hopeful feeling.
Hastily drawn conclusions regarding the
Minnesota rate decision were modified on
second thought The distinct Improvement
in the political situation abroad helped tn
lring about a change in sentiment. There
were indications that a plan for dissolu-
ton for the Hartman system would be
officially approved in the near future.
More important still was the change in
the money market 1t has been recognized
for months that the monetary situation
the world over was the chief cause of de-
preston of the securities markets, and
the more liberal Offering of money by
leading banks was of direct effect. Large
amounts of commercial paper were alb
sorbed and freer offerings of time and
call money resulted in a relaxation of
rates. Secretary McAdoos announcement
that he would approve the issuance or
emergency currency was of value chiefly
for it's effect on sentiment
In spite of relaxation, the financial out
look in its broader aspects was little
changed The situation abroad was unre-
lieved Banks were still reluctant to place
except for short periods and continued
to pile up reserves for the crop movement
season Prospective borrowers saw little
to encourage tho belief that requirements
of the corporations for. new capital can he
met advantageously.
From some lines of trade came further
reports of a ,low'ng down in business.
Crop reports were favorable.

New York. June 14.-The advance in
stocks. which came after the violent
break earlier in the week went on un.
changed today. Virtually every import
ant stock in trade shared in the days
rise. which added substantial amounts
to the large gains achieved since the
upturn began. Many stocks were car
ried above their prices of a week ago,
having sustained a complete recovery
from the downward plunge after rem
dition of the Minnesota rate decision.
Operations for the long account were
carried on more confidently today, bull
traders having been encouraged by the
markets demonstration of firmness
yesterday. Concerted efforts were made
to drive in the short interest, which
was forced to retreat. The advance was
continued through the halliday session

ADVANCE IN WHEAT
Prices Take Violent Upward
Swing Impelled by Of
ficial Forecast

Chicago, June 1l--Wheat prices took a
violent upward swing today. impelled by
an official forecast of protracted dry, hot
needed rain, and there were reports that
permanent damage from drought had al
ready been done. The market closed firm,

ished 1ssa1Nc. to 17sc up. oats with gain
of 11sG1Ac to 11sc. and provisions varying
from 10c decline to rise of 21ac.
Except for q mome1tary dip at the out
set when the market was affected by
some overnight showers in the Dakotas
and Canada, wheat showed remarkable
strength all day. Clear skies and soaring
temperatures made shorts uneasy, and
when announcement came hat an in
definite period Of such conditions could be
looked for, lively scare developed.
Brokers supposed to be acting for bull
leaders were conspicuous bidders for Sep
tember wheat. The special incentfc> for
this purchasing was said to be an opinion
from a well known expert. that without
general soaking rains within a week, the
losses in the spring wheat belt would
reach a heavy total.
Seaboard clearances of wheat and flour
equalled 10000 bushels. Primary receipts
of wheat were G36,o0o bushels year ago,
$4,000 bushels
Pessimistic field advices from Illinois
and other important states excited the
shorts in corn. Offerings were extremely
small Besides, receivers predicted fall

Oats crossed tho 40 cent line, and closed

causes were unwelcome heat and absence
