HIGH LEVELS NOT
WELL MAINTAINED
Cotton Displays Nervous
Fluctuations; Close 3 to
6 Points Net Loss
s..............................sss

New Orleans, June 17.-Cotton displayed
nervous fluctuations today, chiefly be-
cause OF the profit taking operations Of
the long side on every little advance New
high levels for the season were brought
about, but they were not well maintained,
although the market responded very read
lily to buying orders and sentiment was
more in favor of the bull side and fur
ther advance than at any previous time
this season.
The opening was steady at a loss of to
IL points on poor cables and favorable
weather mapu. Private messages from
the Liverpool market stated that CONT
mental traders were accepting their profits
This stimulated realizing sales on this
side and in the early trading prices went
IA to Is points under the close of yes
terday. This was the low of the day.
Around II o'clock, the time of the post
ing of the weekly weather reports, the
ring displayed considerable activity and
heavy buying came out which put the
December up to 11.S0 and caused a rise
of to points over yesterdays final fig
ures During the remainder of the ses-
sion the market was nervous and narrow.
The close was called very steady at q
net loss for the day of to points.
The weather map was dry and warm,
except for light rains in Texas, and the
forecast promised continued fair weather
for practically the entire belt. In spite
of this showing the weekly weather re-
ports, making mention of cold weather
last week over the belt and drouthy con-
dltons in Arkansas, had a strong bullish
effect on the market

COTTON MARKET
SHOWS EXCITEMENT
New Crop Positions Again
Lead Advance-Final
Tone Steady

New York, June 1.-THE cotton market
was active and more or less excited to-
day, with new crop positions again lead
ing the advance and making new high
ground. for the movement. The final tone
was steady at a net decline of . points
to an advance of points
The market opened steady at a. decline
of to 5 points Cables were lower than
due and the weather map was considered
very favorable, while there were reports
in from the eastern belt Indicating that
the crop was making very rapid progress
with the prevailing warm weather. Prices
eased off to a net decline of some to
points right after the call in conse-
quence but offerings were well taken at
the decline and the market turned very
firm during the late forenoon on a renewal
of bull support and active covering. Stop
orders were uncovered on scale up
and October contracts touched 12.75c with
new crop positions generally selling IA
to 27 points net higher. The demand
seemed to come largely from Wall street
and uptown sources and was supposed to
represent support from operators who had
recently covered short cotton and were
taking the long side on the advance, while
old European and local long were cred-
tied with most of the selling. After the
stop orders were executed the market
turned a shade easier on the favorable
weekly weather report and in the after
noon, houses with foreign and southern
connections were heavy sellers of new
crop months. The close was to points
off from the best on active positions. July
was relatively quiet during the day, sell
ing only points net higher and showing
a net loss of 2 points at the close.

NERVOUS CLOSE IN
THE WHEAT MARKET
Rains Over Spring Crop
Region Has Bearish Eff
feet on Wheat

Chicago. June 17.-Rains over the
spring crop region had violent bear
ish effect today on wheat. There was
nervous close. Corn finished 5s q
q to &c down, oats q to 1c, and pro-
pisions varying from last. nights level
to 12s cents decline.
All the big commission companies
had on hand at the opening stacks of
orders to sell swheat. 1t was evident
the trade had undergone a complete
edge was off the drought scare so
far as the northwest was involved.
Low temperatures in that section added
to the troubles which fairly generally
downpours had been bulls Free Of
ferings in both old and new cash hold
ings counted severely against futures
and there was no sign of export call.
than 5per cent in Montana acreage
emphasized weakness in the final deal
ings, and so also did predictions of
further moisture
Primary receipts of wheat were 4S9,-
600 bushels; a year ago, 100000 bush
els. Seaboard clearances of wheat and
flour equalled $4,000 BUSHES.
Although temporary demand from
timid shorts carried corn higher than
yesterday, the market later was swayed
by rural advices telling of alleged
rapid progress, that the crop was
making in some sections of Illinois
on account of the unusual heat. Slim
ness from shipping from here cut con-
siderably figure too, in abating the
eagerness of speculative buyers.
Absence of rainfall in the big pro-
ducing states lifted oats to a new high
point for the season. A rush of profit
taking sales by longs, though, swept
prices later down with wheat and
corn.
Larger current receipts for hogs at
western centers counted against pro-
visions prices. The market likewise
suffered on account of the break in
grain.

SOME bR|SKNESS
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Vegetables Rather Scarce,
But Poultry Market Is
Easing Every Day

Trade on Morris avenue Tuesday was
characterized by the same briskness which
was so much in evidence Monday. Vege-
tables are rather scarce and bht few
shipments are being received. Canta-
loupes and watermelons are both said to
be short and prices are very high for
this season of the year.
The poultry market is easing little
every day and yesterday new shipments
were received. Practically all orders are
being filled now. Alabama eggs are not
being handled much by local dealers, as
they are said to be inferior to the Mis-
souri, product. Many of the eggs that are
being consumed by the birmingham public
are coming from Missouri, Tennessee and
other markets; but Qone from Alabama
The grain market is in very hourishing
condition and corn and oats are very
strong at the prevailing high prices. Bus
mess in the grain market is brisk but
it Is feared that the hot weather in the
wheat belts will cause a rise in the price
of flour in the local market

STOCKS FOLLOW AN
UNCERTAIN COURSE
Foreign Holders of Amer
lean Securities Sell Freely
Reading in Good Demand

New York, June 17-An uncertain
course was followed today by the stock
market which was dull TO the Point OF
stagnation much of the time. The close
found prices of many representative
stocks well above yesterday final figures,
although below the highest quotations Of
the session.
The slump of the market yesterday ap-
parently was discouragins to foreign
holders of American securities who sold
freely here. Foreign selling was large
factor in the decline at the opening and
London disposed of about 1000 shares here
on balance.
In spite of pressure from abroad and
renewed selling by traders who sought to
extend declines, the market quickly rallied
from the opening break. rising with an
ease which suggested that the short in
terest had been largely extended.
The decline induced no further liquida-
tion and bear traders finding the mar
ket moving them, covered. Reading was
