SERVIcE-So DO WE
Chicago's high cafutin society
crew is peeved. Muchly so. And all
because of the rotten telephone serv-
ice recently. John Garner, commits
sioner of public service, reports that
complaints on rotten service have in
creased so per cent during the cold
spell. And most kicks have come
from society people.
1t would seem to loom up like this.
Our society bellies, as we all know, at
tend the opera with regularity. That
is, they do when the weather per-
mits. But, mercy me, they can't go
out into the cold damp air, when
slush and slop prevail, in their ia
shion gowns. 1t is too blamed easy
to catch pneumonia when dressed in
society style. And that is very true,
even though the society bellies only
strut from their front doors to their
limos and from said limos to the the
aer seats.
Hence and therefore, society has
been canoeing theater seats lately.
They have also been canceling after
noon tea dates and other dates. None
of your business. And there the
hitch comes in. Not on the dates,
but on the fact that they haven't
been able to get phone calls to the
theaters, etc.
by jove, we are perfectly paying
our telephone bills, va know, and we
must have attention on the WAR"
That's what society thinks about it
and society has raised kick.
incidentally, society is not the only
class that has a kick coming. Service
is punk all over. Garner promises
to get afte rthe company. But, may
be, now that society has howled, the
company will get busy anyway.

BROAD CHANGES
 FEATURE COTTON Heavy Trading Followed the Government Crop
 Report

New Orleans, June. I.-Broad price changes featured the cotton market to- day. Heavy trading and a rise of 13 to 15 points followed normal on May %, but afterward prices weakened and fell 12 to IA points under yesterdays close on heavy short selling stimulated by the weekly weather reports which were token to mean that conditions since May 25 had been very favorable. From the highest to the lowest there was a drop of 31 to 33 points on the trading months. The close was at net loss for the sea- son of 10 to 12 points.
 :, The market opened off to points on poor cables. There was a recovery on covering by shorts who wanted to even up prior to the condition report at 10 o'clock. At the best before this time the market was to points over yesterdays close. The trade looked for condition figures of about 80 and heavy buying re- suited when they came in lower. The hard spot which resulted, however. proved what many bearish traders were looking for on which to put out fresh short lines. The advance was brief and
 in the early afternoon the market was under severe pressure. Offerings of new crop months continued heavy until the end of the session.

WHEAT PRICES ON
 DOWNWARD TREND
Report That Oklahoma Will Ship New Wheat Within
 Fortnight Causes Decline

Chicago, June 1.-First offerings of the 1916 crop came on the wheat market to- day and quickly brought about a ma terial downturn in prices The result was heavy close, 1h@15sc to 17sc down, with July at s1.O55sd1. O5sz, and September at $1.o7ss@1.o71z. Corn lost 1zQ5sc to sc; oats finished, ..c off to ..c up and pro- visions at decline of 1Ga4Oc
 Although at first the wheat market showed some signs of strength, prices began to descend as soon as word went around that Oklahoma was offering to ship new harvested wheat within a fort night. Cutting was said to be already going on in the southern part of Okla homa. Bearish sentiment increased later, owing to the absence of any important export call. The only foreign purcha SC heard of was a single lot of 100000 bush- els at the seaboard. In this connection it was said that late English cables were especially disappointing to the bulls, as sales were reported on the other side of the Atlantic at to 5 cents below a ship ping parity.
 Corn declined with wheat. Besides. cash demand here was slow, notwith- standing that considerable improvement in the amount of trade was reported in the south and southwest. Houses with New York connections were credited with much buying of July delivery and with selling of September.
 In provisions the big stocks at Liver pool acted as a weight on the market. Under the circumstances an advance here impression

Avery's Letter

The private estimators all have their guesses. but the government is the final word. The government condition report of 75 per cent, as of May 9, was 2.3 per cent under the 10-year average, and very much under the lowest private con- dltion given by the private guessers.
 The market advanced 10 points "nene between after it's publication, but after wards sold off, probably on the theory that the good condition since the date on which the report was compiled off set the low condition up to that date.
 The most significant thing about the report to me, is the fact that all the states which last year raised about 7E per, cent of the total crop. this veal show the lowest condition. In other words North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Texas, which last year raised together 7937, ,1S0 bales show condition in order named of 76, 65. 7 and 7S per cent, an average of 73.3. However, as I have said before, the June condition report is poor criterion to go by. Weather conditions and the spot situation should be closely watched and remember that it is an exceptional July and August when we don't have crop scares and the eastern belt this year will be particularly susceptible to unfavorable weather developments, be- cause of the poor fertilization.
 There is the usual fear of what the manipulators might do to the July op- tion. This is a matter of individual opinion. With the existing demand for spot cotton, I cannot feel very much frightened over the situation.

STOCKS MOVE ID
 HIGHER LEVELS
General List Showed Activ- ity and Bonds Are Favor
 ably Influenced

NeN York, June 1.-Disregarding the more ominous aspects of the Mexican sit uation and the cumulative uncertainties Of domestic political conditions, today s market was plainly disposed to move to higher levels after an early period of hesitancy. Rails supplied the chief incen- tive, Norfolk and Western showing the way by it's gain of points to the new high quotation of 130. Simultaneously, Norfolk and Western convertible 41as gained 25s points
 Other coal shares strengthened in sym pathy, notably Reading and Lehigh Val- Icy with moderate gains in some of the Pacific, including Hill shares. Changers and eastern lines were firm to strong, deriving strength from additional state ments of earnings, to which Baltimore and Ohio proved a striking exception
 War issues, particularly bonds, were again favorably influenced by peace ru- mors, which persisted despite denia1s and protestations from high sources. Anglo French 5s attained a new high record at $l.021s and Japanese 415s, bearing the German stamp and implying former own ership in the latter country were up a point.
 Shipping shares, Rubber issues, Motors and Sugars featured the specialties Mer- cantile Marine preferred made an ex- treme gain of 2ls on reports of an ap- preaching agreement among the opposing interests, together with a brilliant state ment of cash resources, and United Fruit came into renewed prominence with an advance of 2ss points. Among obscure industrials the common and first and sec ond preferred shares of the Gulf States Steel company attracted attention by their further gains of 3A to g points, and Lee Rubber made a new high record at 56.
 MeXicans, especially oils, were under the cloud created by the firm attitude of the Washington government toward the latest note of the Mexican authorities and some of the less prominent muni- tions and kindred issues were moderately heavy. Highest prices were shaded just before the close on renewed selling of Reading.
 Receipt of more gold from Canada, bringing the total on the current move- ment from that country up to about ST. 00O000, was without effect on sterling rates, which were barely steady with firmness in francs and slight ease in marks.
 Firrnness marked the trend of the gen. eral bond list, with increased inquiry for speculative issues. Total sales, par value, were $3,7S0,000
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

MARKET WEAKENED
 UNDERL|QU|DAT|ON
Government Cotton Crop Report Caused Violent
 Fluctuations

New York. June 1.-The first govern lowed by violent fluctuations in the cot ton market here today. After selling at 12.7Sc on the opening. October contracts. for instance, sold up to 12.95c imme- diately after the publication of the report and later broke to 12.66c, closing at 12.69c. The general list closed steady. but net decline of 6 to 12 points for the day.
 The market was comparatively quiet during the early trading The opening was l to points lower in response to relatively easy cables, but the tone was steady, as off rings were light and prices stiffened up several points during the early trading. This seemed to be the result of covering for over the govern ment report, as the talk around the ring suggested no fresh bullish feature, and after showing net advance of about f points, fluctuations were rather nar- row and irregular until the condition figures appeared. Trading then became very active and for the first 10 or 15 minutes after the report of 77.5 per cent against 80 per cent last year and a To- year average of 79.S per cent was issued prices worked rapidly higher. July con- tracts sold up to 12.S0c and December to 1312c, while January touched 131oc, or about 14 to 17 points above last nights closing figures. The private condition reports issued during the past few days had pointed to about 79 per cent on the average and the official statement was evidently disappointment to recent sell CTS The demand, however. soon petered out and when 1t became evident that ha ra inspiring any immediate bull interest ir consequence, the market weakened under liquidation and scattered selling for a re action. There was also southern selling here while the favorable weekly weather report served to strengthen the bearisf view of the crops progress since the gov ernment data were gathered.

According to Farm and Preside, q number of Missouri orchardists com plain that rabbits are attacking theis fruit trees which have been coated with protective washes. and are injuring the washed trees even more than those that were unwashed. Even rabbits, it seems can develop taste for drugs and un. savory connections.

1arket, but as the government made a

market but as the government made a statement that condirrons in the Caro- hnas and Georgia (where the low reports were from) had decidedly improved, the advance did not hold The weekly weather reports was excellent, and this, together with the failure of the report to bring in any fresh buying, caused liqui- dation by well known Wall street house which had been heavily long of the market on the idea that early pace would take place. The past two weeks of continuous good weather in the south has begun to have it's effect on senti- ment, and any further liquidation will unQuestionably bring lower prices. We find little mill buying on the decline.
