RUMORS SEND
 COTTON DOWN
Period of Steadiness at the Opening Followed by
 Decline

New Orleans, June 26.-After period of steadiness around the opening today the cotton market took on heavy feeling and went to a net decline. Late in the day unfavorable rumors regarding the Mexican situation resulted in some sell ing and the market went to it's lowest levels, a net loss of to 15 points. The close was to 12 down.
 Around the opening prices were to 6 points up. First July notices, estimated at around $500 bales, appeared to be promptly stopped and feeling was rather bullish on complaints of too much mois- ture in the belt over Sunday. Longs commenced to offer considerable cotton, however, and the market sagged.
 Gossip of the market indicated that much of the liquidation of long con- tracts was due to uncertainty over the bureau reports on condition and acreage at the end of the week. Further de- clines in ocean freight rates were re- ported but without stimulating buying of consequences. It was said that July notices were stopped chiefly for the ac- count of exporters and southern mills.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-27
NEW YORK PRICES
 WORKING LOWER
Cotton Unsettled Under More or Less
 Realizing

New York, June 26.-The cotton mar ket was unsettled today with prices working lower under more or less gen eral realizing or liquidation. After sell ing at 13.41c early. October contracts eased off to 13.222c and closed at 19.24c, with the general list closing steady at a net loss of 12 to 15 points.
 A private crop report published in Memphis made the condition 7S.S per cent compared with 80 per cent last month, but neither this showing nor the firmness abroad seemed to create any fresh buying power of conse- quence, after selling about to points net higher right after the call, prices turned easier. For the first time in a considerable period, houses with Liver pool connections were active sellers here. This was taken as refecting a feeling abroad that a firmer tone was soon likely to develop in the matter of ocean freights, with a consequent widening of the differences between foreign and American markets. There may have been some local selling on this theory, while weakness in the stock market and Mexican uncertainties were considered partly responsible for Wall street liquidation under which prices broke to a net loss of to Il points be- fore the end of the morning. The de- cline was then checked by covering and there were rallies to about Saturday s closing figures during the middle of the day when buying was promoted by the detailed weather reports showing rath- CT heavy rains in Oklahoma and the Carolinas. The demand was by no means general, however, and prices weakened again in the afternoon under renewed Wall street and scattering liquidation July sold off to 13.06c and December to 13.3Sc, or 13 to IS points net lower and the close was within or points of the lowest on most positions. July led the decline as a result of scattering liquidation in preparation for the pos sibility of notices tomorrow.

ADVERSE CROP CONDITIONS Wheat Market on the Up- grade as Result of
 RumOrs

Chicago, June 26.--Reports of black rust and other adverse crop conditions in the southwest, together with increased pros pect of war with the de facto govern ment of Mexico, tended today to bring about an upturn in the wheat market. Largely as a result, closing quotations, although unsettled, were 1ac to 5sc net higher with July at $1.O11s, and September at $1.04ss. Corn finished unchanged to Tc up, oats varying from 1sc decline to Ac advance and provisions at a rise of
 71ac to 200.
 Notwithstanding some hesitancy which at the outset was displaced because of
 ideal weather and field reports from the northwest, the wheat market soon turned decidedly against the bears.
 Predictions that the British blockade on Greece would be lifted without de-
 lay gave further impetus toward an ad
 vance. Then came word that heavy rains
 were continuing to interfere with the har
 vesting and shipping of the new crop in
 Oklahoma and Kansas. Word that black
 rust had developed in Kansas wheat car ried prices here to the topmost point of the day. It was said, however, that
 the rust was not of the dread spring wheat kind and that possibly the damage would be confined to fields standing in water. Only 100000 bushels of United States wheat was reported as having been sold today to Europe
 Coarse grains were strengthened by an improved demand from shippers, includ in export sales of 100000 bushels of corn and 250,000 bushels of oats It vas said 1,500,0O0 bushels of corn would be shipped from here this week. Higher tempera- lures, though, acted somewhat as a bear ish offset corn. Excellent crop re- ports made the bulls timid regarding oats.
 Highest prices of the season were reached for pork and ribs (bacon). The basis of the advance was rise in the value of hogs. Announcement from Liv- erpool that a movement was in progress there to boycott meat from the United States appeared to have no effect on tho markee here.
