Chicago Grain.

Chicago, June 27.-Wheat prices showed a decided down grade tend ency today as result of assertions that immediate embargo restrictions on wheat shipments from the United States were likely and that the Can adian surplus would be given prefer ence in suppling European needs. Op- ening quotations which reanged from the same as yesterdays finish to 1 cent lower were followed by sharp general descent and then something of a rally which, however, failed to last.
 Bearish crop estimates from the sur plus states both in the spring and the winter wheat belts counted sub sequently as further depressing fac tor. Besides, belief spread that the government would fix a price for the whole 1917 crop. The close was steady, 1 to cents net lower with July at $2.05 and September at $1.83.
 Embargo talk had a bearish effect on corn as we'll as on wheat. Selling though, was not of an aggressive sort. After opening unchanged to cent lower, recovered somewhat and later underwent fresh sag all around.
 Gossip that further buying of corn and oats for the entente allies was expected, gave the market consider

New York Cotton.

New York, June 27.-Still higher levels were reached in the cotton mar kct during today's carly trading. The failure of the weather map to show any further rains in the southwest served to restrict offerings, while there was scattered covering and a renewed demand from trade sources. The mar ket opened firm at an advance of 15 to p points and sold 30 to IA points ret higher during the early trading with all deliveries making new high records. July contracts sold at 26.95c, October at 26.SSc and December at the 27 cent level before the end of the first hour. Private cables reported rather more liquidation in Liverpool, with the offerings absorbed by fair trade buying.
 A private report making the condi. Ition 6.5 was followed by another furry of buying late in the morning. July sold up to 27.28 and October to 26.96c making net advance of 52 to 5S points. Prices eased off few points after midday on favorable showing of the weekly weather bureau.
 October eased off from 27.00c to 26.S5c and December from 2714c to i270Oc, with business quiet during the early afternoon. Light offerings re- ported around the ring were attrlbut- ed chiefly to realizing.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, La, June H.-Con- tinued dry weather in the Western belt stimulated buying of cotton on this market today and prices rose 20 to 43 points in the first half hour of buisness. Offerings came principally from recent purchasers of contracts who were willing to take their profits. A condition report of 66.5 per cent of the normal, and the bullsh features in the weekly government crop account further stimulated the demand. To- ward noon the active months were at a net rise of 45 to 55 points.
 While the market was quiet in the afternoon, it was very steady, the rise of 3S points in spot quotations helping lit. At 1 80 the active months were at net advance of 49 to 57 points.
