GOODS ARE SENT
 THROUGH SWEDEN
 TO THE ENEMY

LONDON, Nov. 10.-The Swedish army officials were accused of con- spring to furnish millions of dol lars worth of wool to Germany, in the course of an action in the Prize Court here
 The case concerned a shipment of 1500 bales of wool, consigned tC the Swedish army, but destined, ac- cording to the Attorney General, foI | German firm in Leipzig. Tho shipment is valued at $7OO,O00, be ing only one of several seized en- route from the Argentine Republic.
 Intercepted documents, produced in court, showed that the wool was not intended to remain in Sweden That the Swedish army had no in. tention of using the wool was indi. cated, it was asserted, by the fac that it's representatives made no ap Dearance in the court and put in nc claim to the cargo
 The presiding judge, in giving his verdict, condemning the entire shipment as a lawful prize, said The intercepted documents show hat the wool was intended for Ger many. How it came about that tho name of neutral government wa Ised by the real consignee we dt lot know, and it is not for us tC make observations in the matter We can only express our surprise hat the repute of a neutral govern nent has been employed to get ab iolute contraband into Germany. We ind that the destination of tho 1oods was Leipzig ,and they src condemned as contraband destined or the enemy

months moderate buying serving 10 bring about the advance. The weekly weather and crop accounts from the weather bureau were undoubtedly more unfavorable than expected and on top of this was the rather general feel Ing that the monthly figures on Amer lean consumption due tomorrow from the census bureau would be likely to reflect the filling of war orders.
 Around the opening prices fell away to a level S3 to 9s points under yes terdays closing, the chief influence at work being the poor Liverpool. al- though the trade was inclined to re- gard the weather map in a favorable light This decline met with new buy ing and short covering and a quick rally ensued which shortly carried prices to a net advance of s2 a bale. Increasing strength was shown from then on, although the market had many minor reactions from the ad- vance. At the highest the trading months were 52 to T7 points over yes- terday's last quotations.
 The close was at a net advance of 25 to 61 points.
 Liverpool is due from IT to. 25 points up tomorrow morning
 The market appears well liquidated of any unwieldly long interest and the price levels reached undoubtedly at tract constant short selling For the time being. however. we think it a wise policy to refrain from fresh pur- chases. We believe in awaiting a good reaction.

TRADING IRREGULAR
 ON COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of
 9 to 34 Points

New York, June 13.-The cotton mar ket showed continued excitement today with fluctuations extremely nervous and irregular. New high records were es- abolished for all deliveries, with October contract selling up from 24,15c to the 25- cent level, or 65 points above last nights closing figures Reactions followed with that delivery closing at 24.69c and with the general list closing steady at a net advance of to S4 points.
 A sharp break in Liverpool just before the slocal opening was followed by de- cline of to 22 points at the start here, with July relatively easy on reports that many inquiries were being received from the south with a view to shipments for delivery on contract. Prices almost tnn- mediately steadied up on buying by houses with Liverpool and New Orleans connections. however, and by the middle of the morning, active months were sell ing SS to 36 points net higher. This bulge met increased offerings, with the dispo- stion to take profits proomted by ex- pectations of a favorable weekly weather report at midday and there were reac- tions of several points. July was again relatively weak selling a point under last nights close while later months lost 25 or 30 points of the early advance. The weekly report of the weather bureau however, seemed disappointment to some of the early sellers, and was fol- lowed by another big bulge in prices on covering. There also seemed to be a re- newal of trade demand, and the advance was stimulated by strength in New Or leans. July contracts sold up to 25,36c and December to 25.14c, making advances of A to 65 points from last nights closing figures.
 There seemed to be more cotton for sale at the Decent level for October, and later fluctuations were extremely irregu- lar, with the new crop relatively firm.
 Exports for the day were 2400 bales, making 3131 so far this season. Port receipts, S944; United States port stocks, S59, TAO.

Avery's Letter

Today's cotton market was a repetition of yesterday, with the exception that Liv- erpool did not display the excitement of yesterday, and final figures there caused American markets to open at decline.
 After backing and filling for several hours, prices took another squirt which again resulted in new high levels and the close was around the top figures.
 During the last few moments of the close, there were rumors of a bad sub marine report for the week, and had the market been open five minutes longer, no doubt a considerably lower close would have been the consequence.
 All conservative brokers are either dis couraging trading altogether or asking prohibitive margins. Some are taking trades for the day, but I cannot advise even such trades as this market has the potentiality of volcano in either direc- ton.
 In the excitement of watching prices mount higher and higher, the average trader forgets the disaster that overlook nearly everyone on February 1.
 The violent fluctuations, in themselves, indicates the extreme nervousness of the rings and such state of mind could easily turn to panic at moment g notice.
 Advise leaving the market alone Wait for the break which is bound to come, for purchases. F. AVERY

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June Especial )-To- day the feature has been the gradual liquidation of long cotton by cotton houses who have been bullish for some time and the buying by Wall street houses on a larger scale. Thus the market would move quickly and vio- lently on comparatively small transac- tions. In fact, this was quite as much feature as the buying by the Wall street houses. The interest in July is being rapidly transferred from this crop to the next one. Private crop reports continue to show improvement, while the government report was con- sidered unfavorable and led to the ad- vance of the afternoon. Outsiders are very bullish Late this afternoon the selling by those who have led the ad- vance was the cause of the recession.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, June 13.-Optimistic forecasts regarding the yield this season in the Dakotas, Minnesota and some other sec tions tended today to cause a decline in wheat values. Largely as a result, the market, although steady at the close was 14c to Pc net lower with July at 2.s1c and September at 2.O71Ac. Corn finished 1sc to 27sc up and oats gained Ac to 1asc.
 The outcome in provisions was a set back of PEG to 25c.
 One of the leading authorities in the wheat trade estimated the 1917 production in North and South Dakota and Minne- sota at 160,0O0,000 bushels as against SS. 900 bushels last year. There were also continued favorable reports from Canada which were partly offset, however, by as- sertions that three of the provinces would not harvest within 100000 acres of the 1916 total. In connection with the gen eral increased bearish outlook much in- of growing wheat from Ohio which were said to indicate the largest yield ever known in that state
 Corn rallied sharply from an early selling rush that was due to expected warmer weather. On the decline, heavy buying was said to have been done for seaboard account.
 Firmness in the oats market developed in the main from signs of a liberal ex- port demand
 Liquidation sales by holders weakened provisions.

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 13.-Although there was hesitation in the early trading in cotton here today, the market gradually strengthened and in the afternoon rose to new high levels for the season on the new crop months. Buying was based on the fact that the weekly weather and crop accounts did not show as much inn provement in the belt as expected and on anticipation of bullsh monthly mill figures from the census tomorrow. considerable volume of short selling was put out in the early session, and the cov- ering of this was an important factor in the advance later.
 Around the opening prices were 33 to 3S points off in sympathy with poor Liverpool. Also, the weather map was generally called favorable and the trade looked for bearish weekly crop reports. The initial decline did not last long, as 1t met new buying which caused a quick recovery and advance which finally amounted to about $2 a bale. Further re- actions followed. which all but wiped the net advance, but the afternoon the tone firined up and prices rose to a net ad- vance of from 52 to IT points. From the lowest to the highest there was a rise of S5 to 115 points on the most active months The close showed net gain for the session of 25 to 61 points, July making the least gain

RENEWED ACTIVITY
 ON STOCK EXCHANGE
Steel Issues Establish Rec ord-Liberty Bond Cam
 paign Week Success

New York, June 13.-The market ac- quired new lease of life today, primarily ol the overnight decision of the directors of the United States Steel corporation to declare another extra dividend of per cent or the common stock for the cur rent quarter.
 This action, it is believed. virtually in sures full dividend returns of r per cent on the common shares for the calendar year. Moreover it bespeaks the confi- dence of eminent trade authorities in the future of the steel industry. Declara- ton of other increas sed or extra dividends, the whirlwind windup of the liberty loan campaign with its rush of small sub scribers and the stability of money rates was additional factors of sentimental value.
 United States Steel was absorbed in countless lots of 1000 to 20,00O shares, the price rising steadily to 1343s, an overnight advance of 3al points and closing at 13S1s. At its top steel equalled 1883, including recent devidend payments, and ex- ceeded It's previous maximum by A of a point
  lished new maximum at 155 and Indus trial Alcohol recorded a similar achieve ment at 171M, both issues receding mod erately at the end. A majority of the other equipments and affiliated indus trials rose to highest prices of the year. A general increase of demand was mani fested in all parts of the railway di- vision, the inquiry ranging from high grade investment issues to many of the low priced or reorganized roads. Ex- trenle gains of 1 to over points marked the trading in these stocks but these, too, were partly forfeited on realizing sales.
 Shippings, oils, motors. utilities and nu- merous unclassified specialties partici- pated in the rise at gross and advances of 1 to points. The only stock to dis play heaviness was Dealware and Hud- son which yielded almost 8 points on litigation involving payment of the next dividend. Total sales amounted to 1,24,- 000 shares.
 Bonds were irregular, few important issues tending downward. Total sales, par value, aggregated $2,225,0O0.
 United States bonds issued declined A to per cent on call.

New York, June 13.-The cotton oil market was higher early, particularly new crop months on local buying in- spired by the strength in cotton.
