Wheat. Despite the restrictions TO
oneratiops and the feeling OF uncer-
tainty which prevails regarding the
probable terms of the food control Dill,
which have a tendency to discourage
operations. il was evident yesterday
that the wheat market is feeling the
inhuence of the new harvest. Prices
broke 1Ok to lose in the Chicago con-
tract market, while cash prices IN the
winter wheat belt were IL TO Is cents
lower and in the Minneapolis spring
wheat market they were down l6 TO 20
cents. The limitations which exist IN
tho market make sudden and violent
fluctuations possible and consequently
ororators are inclined 70 be cautious.
New fall wheat was offered from ,he
Southwest in somewhat larger volume
and the action of Chicago suggested
quite strongly that hedging sales were
taking place in that market, while the
absence of new buying. which IS pro-
hibited. left prices without support,
aside from that which was furnished
by those who are willing 70 cover out
standing short contracts.
The weather was quite ideal Tor the

Cotton

Still higher prices were reached in

season on reports of unsatisfactory
crop progress, the sensationally firm
showing Of Liverpool and the con-
tinued strength of the goods situation.

and of 17S points from the low level
reached on last Fridays reaction. That
delivery closed at 1888, with the gen
eral list closing at a net advance OF
81 to ~ points.
The Liverpool market showed an ad-
vance equivalent to about , cents a
pound before trading here started in
the morning. Private cables reported
an accumulation of Continental buy
ing orders over the week end, also a
continued good trade demand, and il
was supposed that Liverpool had been
Influenced by the low private condition
figure. One of these reports which
had been published on Saturday, when
Liverpool was closed. showed an i'm
provement of less than | per cent,
compared with conditions at the end
Of May. Another made public here
during the morning placed the cond'-
ton at iii. compared with 20 toward
the end Of May.
Little was heard Of the Southern
selling against actual cotton. which
seemed to be developing here during
the middle of last week. There were
further complaints Of drouthy condi-
tions from the Southern half of the
cotton belt. and the detailed reports
showed unreasonably low temperatures
over Sunday. The weather was warmer
Yesterday, however, and some of the
scattering reports now being received
suggest that the crop is making better
progress. The high prices are reported
TO be stimulating planters to extra
efforts i'm parts OF Texas. and II -
said that in some fields ground Is
being prepared and planted to cotton
as rapidly as grain is harvested.
