Avery's Letter

Rains in the eastern belt offset the good cables this morning. Wall street and the Renakorf crowd sold the market on the rams and Weld was said to have taken profits on nearly 10000 bales, mostly new crop months.
 North Texas also had rains, but they were followed by a drop in temperatures to as low as 40. This weather should nave onset the beneficial rains in the east. but the disposition was to let the market drift. Mitchell bought some of the Julys. The market has had about S2 per bale reaction from the advance of around $5 per bale, and the differences be. tween old and new crop positions are mar rowing. This Is as it should be if we are going to have a genuine bull market based on lack of old cotton to go around A decline of B per bale certainly must have accumulated a short interest and under the circumstances I am rather in- clined to favor buying July.

WHEAT PRICES TAKE
 AN UPWARD TREND
Reports of Damage to Crops by Hessian Fly Force
 Prices Up

Chicago, May 16.-Increasing evidence that immense damage had been done by Hessian fly in parts of Kansas forced the wheat market today upgrade The result was firm close at s4111sc net ad- vance, with July $1.171a and September $1.171k@1. IFS. Corn gained 1s@Ac to 5sc and oats A9asc. In provisions the out come was 5@25c decline.
 Persistent buying, largely on the part of the new investors characterized the wheat market almost from the outset. Just at the opening transient downturns were witnessed owing to reports of plentiful stocks in Great Britain and to a forecast of increased shipments from Australia. More emphatic advices than ever regarding destruction wrought by Hessian fly in the central counties of side. As the central counties have the largest wheat acreage in the state, traders were not disposed to question big reductions in crop estimates, some of the exports putting the total wheat harvest for Kansas this season as low as 85, coo bushels, a shortage of 21, ,000, 900 bushels compared with the yield in 1915.
 Oklahoma as well as Kansas furnished indictment to buyers of wheat. Compre- hensve dispatches from Oklahoma em- phasized the need of rain throughout the state, and drew sharp attention to fore cast there of dry, warmer weather. Ac- cording to one authority, the Oklahoma harvest as compared with last year will show falling off of 100000 bushels.
 Firmness of oats came about chiefly through the influence of other grain. Some of the buying, nevertheless, was due to Oklahoma reports concerning green bugs and dry weather.
 Provision values suffered more from lack of support than from any unusual pressure to sell. The shrnkage in de- fnand seemed plainly the result of de- cided setback in the price of hogs.
