RENO MARKET LETTER

Reno, Nev.. June 17--"hc supply
of hogs during the past week or ten
days has shown a substantial in
crease. The quality has been better
and very few light undesirable hogs
have been received
We are now paying for hogs as
follows:
Hogs weighing $50 to 35Olbs..
where they acreage over i75lns,
14&c.
Where they average under l75lbs.
IA &C.
Hogs weighing 100 to l5Olbs. 12c.
Heavy rough hogs lac.
Feeder hogs Toe.
Weighed and delivered Reno.
The market on hogs for the past
three or four months has continu-
alley been ahead of the market for
dressed pork and it would seem that
prices cannot so higher for live hogs.
1t is possible that there will be
fractional recessions in price, al
though we do not look for any mater
ial decline.
TIE high mar 1T for CEREALS Wiu'd
indicate that the hog market must
remain at high level for some time
to come.
The wool market continues to be
strong with higher tendencies, and
is quoted as follows:
Fine long staple wool 81. 40 to$1.5O
Fine mediums $3.50
y Blood 1.20
4 Blood .$l.20
Clean basis delivered Atlantic sea
hoard
There is still more or less talk
of Great Britain releasing some of
the Australian wool, and we under
stand that negotiations are now be
ing carried on with this end in view.
The market on spring lambs con-
tinues to be high locally, although
there has been decided slump on
the eastern market; the decline am
outing to from SIC per lb.

not suited to your digestive organs
If you eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat hut little meat

 Wire)


 Wire.)
 New Orleans, June 20.-The sudden sus- pension of the Liverpool future market caused wave of liquidation to sweep over the American cotton markets today and a resulting loss here of 165 to 1S2 points on the most active months. The real effect of the Liverpool action lay in it's suddenness. It was not altogether unexpected and many traders have pre- dcted that Liverpool, sooner or later, would be forced to close. According to the official announcement the suspension is temporary, but this is a very in definite term Trading for the purpose of liquidation will be permitted at fixed prices until the close Friday.
 The local market assumed better tone late in the day and reacted strongly. The close showed net loss for the day of 59 to 6S points. Coupled with the liquidation was much short selling. The efforts of shorts to take their profits toward the close gave the market steadi- ness.
 The weekly weather and crop reports from the government passed unnoticed. They were, on the whole, written In a very unfavorable vein and do not indi- cate anything like the improvement which should take place in June. The June condition period ends Monday, and it looks like a foregone conclusion that the percentage of condition will be low. We see nothing in the situation to point to permanently lower levels.

EXCITED BREAK
 ON COTTON MARKET
Suspension of Liverpool Flu ture Market Caused Wave
 of Liquidation

New York, June 20-The announcement closed pending conferences between cot ton exchange officials and the British Board of Trade, was followed by an ac- tive and excited selling movement in the cotton market here today October con- tracts broke to "A 40c, making a decline of 173 points from last nights closing figures and of $11 bale from the high record established yesterday At this level offerings seemed to have been pretty well absorbed however, and there were sharp rallies with October closing at 53c and with the general list closing steady at net decline of 66 to S2 points. While recent sensational advances had indicated very acute sitution in Liver pool, local traders had received no inti- nation that the market there was to be closed this morning. The news disturbed sentiment among recent buyers who may have been influenced to some extent by expectations of still higher prices abroad, and the local market opened at a de- cline of 46 to 69 points. There was good buying around the initial figures, and demand was active enough to cause oc- casional rallies during the morning, but the sellers were active and excited, with the spread of the Liverpool news, and margin calls to meet the early break bringing in increased offerings late in the morning. The break extended to 24. 65c for July and 24.53c for December, making a decline of about 160 to 17S points under last nights close. Stop or ders were uncovered and after their exc cution offerings became much smaller and there were rallies of about 1c a pound from the lowest during the after noon on covering and a renewal of trade buying. Rather a bullish weekly report from the weather bureau probably helped the recovery, while there were also rumors of favorable political devel- opments in central Europe and some hope that pending conferences between Liverpool cotton men and the British Board of Trade would result in increased exports.
 There were no exports today. Exports so far this season, 5,051, ,771, against 5,356 S02 last year.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago. June 20.-Reports that Presi- dent Wilson was likely soon to exercise his power to place an embargo on grain shipments that might go to Germany through neutral countries led to heavy liquidating sales today, especially in corn. Prices for that cereal closed nervous, 15sc to 4c net lower. Wheat also de- clined, finishing 1c to 4c down. with July at s2.01 and September at S1 .sO Oats lost A99sc to 1Ac. Provisions gained 21zc to 15c.
 It was said that recent unusually large purchases of corn for European neutrals had aroused suspicion and that the new authority of the President could provide an effective bar to any of the proposed shipments falling into hands that were hostile to the United States Rains that broke a serious drouth in north Texas and in Oklahoma counted to some ex- tent in further weakening the market. After the break, however, a fair class of buying developed and a moderate rally was in progress as the session came to an end.
 Hedging sales from the southwest had depressing effect on wheat. New crop offers increased rapidly but buyers were scarce at relatively low figures. Rains in the spring wheat region were deemed of particular advantage to the bearish side of the market.
 Oats were chiefly governed by the same influence that ruled other grain, especially corn.
 Assertions that the Belgian commission was seeking offers helped to strengthen the provision market. Upturns in the value of hogs were also of some assist ance.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 20.-A break of S9
 a bale on the weakest months was the
 response in the local cotton market today
 to the announcement from Liverpool that
 trading in futures on that exchange had been discontinued temporarily. Heavy lquidat ton set in the opening and pressed against the market until the middle of
 the day. Mixed with it was much short
 selling, bearish traders construing the
 action of the English market in very unfavorable way. Late in the session there was sharp recovery from the de-
 cline and it appeared to be chiefly due to efforts of the early short sellers to buy
 back their cotton. At the lowest active months were 165 to 1S2 points down. The close was only 59 to 63 down.
 | The decline was one of the widest in the history of the market, but it was not at all out of proportion to recent upward movements. Only at times was the market very active. During the greater part of the day the ring was comparatively quiet
 The weekly weather and crop reports
 were regarded as more unfavorable than
 expected, but they were entirely ignored
 at the time they were issud. It was con-
 sidered by some brokers that they had
 something to do with the reaction late
 in the day.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-06-21

could do it. The Liverpool exchange closed in the middle of the session and American markets broke better than Sl0 per bale before the decline was checked. his is the danger of such market, and 1 have been preaching for several weeks that this very thing might come about True, the market reacted from the low levels, but it has taken some of the starch out of the wild bulls. The explanation for the sharp rally was said to be due to a rumor that Austria had broken with Germany. This was not con- hrmed and as the bull crowd must have bought a world of cotton on supporting orders, further liquidation is inevitable.
 The latest news from Liverpool said that market would be open tomorrow and Friday, but only to iquidate open contracts. This action of the Liverpool exchange ought to be the handwriting on the wall to American speculators. Whether they take it or not remains to be seen. c. F. AVERY.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York June Special )-As a result of the violent fluctuations in Liy- erpool and the consequent demoraliza- tion from Manchester trade. The Liver Ipool cotton exchange was closed today,
 until further notice. Probably this &C., tion was taken on the representation of the British Spinners' association, as lforeshadowed in the recent interview with the President, published in the press The result was a decline here of some 12O points until support came from the brokers who have been prom inent during the recent advance, and under this buying more than half of the decline was recovered. From the action of the market the weather report was more favorable than expected as the lowest prices followed it's publication. Traders expected that there would be support given to the market at some point today, because of the very con f1dent ideas on the part of the outside interests
