NET GAIN IN COTTON
 IN NEW ORLEANS
Wet Weather in Eastern Half of the Belt Helps
 the Bulls

New orleans. June 1.-Cotton made con siderable show of strength today cn wet weather in the eastern half of the belt and late in the session stood P to Is points over yesterdays last quotations. Inc close was at net gain of to 12 points, Less attention than usual was paid to the political situation and the first govern- ment report of the season on the eondi- ton of the crop putting the percentage at so on May 25, had no influence on valres. Around the opening the marke. haF d waiting attitude and sentiment wds hNdr- ish on the strained relations rronsht about by the German reply to the Antri- can note on the Lusitania No srca amount of selling appeared. however. and prices went a couple of points under yes terday's close. The condition figures ae Il o'clock just about met average expecta- tions and as soon as they were digested buying orders poured into the ring on the theory that the condition of the crop had fallen off since May 25 because of eN es- sive rains. The forecast of more rain in the Atlantics increased the buying move ment in the afternoon.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June 1.-(Special. )-Liverpool came lower under the influence of the German note and sent selling orders here which were executed al a decline Of from 10 to 12 points. Apparently this was the only supply. because the recent rainy weather in the cotton belt has made the trade a little less positive on the condi- tion of the crop. The government esN- mate of condition as so on May 25 was about as expected, because the trade felt that the condition as given last season was too low. After it was published the market slowly advanced, closing steady at the prices of last Saturday. This inn proveInent was due to a small covering demand, finding few sellers rather than to any change of opinion of the trade. which remains bearish on the belief the political situation may at any time be- come acute.

SHARP DECLINE IN
 PRICE OF WHEAT Bearish Crop Estimates Send Market Downward.
 Corn Suffers

Chicago, June 1.-Estimates that the 1915 crop of wheat in the United States would be 50,0O000O bushels more than was indicated for the growth at this time a year ago had good deal to do today with a sharp decline in prices. The market closed steady but &@4ssc under Saturday nights figures. Other leading staples showed net loss-corn, 7sQ1c to 1h@1Ac; oats, 1A@1ssc to 1s4917sc. and provisions. 5@f1hc to 20c.
 Corn suffered chiefly owing to sympat..y with the break in wheat In oats as in corn the principal guide was the action of wheat. Provisions went lower with grain and hogs. Packers were said to be free sellers of lard.

WAR SPEC|A[T|ES ] LOSING GROUND Following Publication of German Note Stocks
 Are Heavy

New York, June 1.-Stocks were dull and heavy today, following the publication of Germany's reply to Washington's note of inquiry. Affairs in Mexico. which point to decisive action by this government, also entered into speculative calculations. Opening prices were lower by to 8 points, war specialt&s and other manipulated is sues losing most ground. Later some of these stocks made general recoveries.
 Foreign exchange continued to reflect the sensitive state of the European money markets Local time loans were easier. Domestic developments were mainly fay- orable, ranging from the g, 100000 net in crease reported by the New York Central system for April, to another dividend in- crease by one of the large copper conn panies. Western freight shipments of va rious classifications are up to last years average.
 Bonds easier with little investment in quiry. Total sales, par value, aggregated s1,274,0O0.
 United States bonds unchanged on call.
