SHARP RALLIES ON
 STOCK EXCHANGE
Adjustment of Prices on Steel and Equipments In-
 fluence Market

New York, June 29.-Further unsettle- ment in speculative conditions charac- terized the first half of todays dull and professional trading, with sharp and very substantial rallies before the close. Motors shares, utilities and many minor specialties represented the chief elements of weakness, and rails also gave way moderately in the absence of develop ments regarding the freight rate situa- ton.
 Much of the beS-sted recovary resulted from short covering in such leaders as the steels and equipments, which were supported on reports indicating an ad- justment of government prices United States Steel made an extreme advance of 21s points from it's minimum of 12S and closed virtually at the top with a net gain of a point
 Independent steels and related shares rebounded from their early reversals of to points, with pronounced strength in Crucible and Iacawanna, Baldwin Lo- comotive and Republic Iron, Coppers, shippings and the more volatire specialties were responsive to relaxed pressure and motors in some instances made up the greater part of their severe losses. h. dustrial Alcohol maintained it's reputation for lrregularity, at one period showing net loss of more than points, which was reversed to an actual gain of 51a points. Ohio Gas and General Motors were among the other issues in which ma terial declines gave way to substantial net advances.
 Losses in rails ranged from 2A per cent in Delaware and Hudson to a point or more in Union Pacific, Southern Pacific Northern Pacific, Baltimore & Ohio, Northern Central and Southern railway preferred. Recoveries in this group were nominal Total sales amounted to 670,O0C shares.
 new low price of 221k for rubles reflected the mixed news regarding Rus sian affairs. Francs shaded trifie, but other European remittances were una1- tered. Transfer of about $6, GOO gold to San Francisco, en route to Japan, excited little attention
 Bonds were irregular, with a sale of liberty 312's at the new premium of 100 $50. Total sales of bonds (par value) were $2, ,6S5, ,0oO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Didn't Fill Requirement

From the 14adfes' Home JournaI.
 Once a high school principal was having a dispute with one of his teachers, vivacious young lady. She claimed that the word "man" meant mankind as a whole, while men" al- ways signified the masculine gender.
 The principal maintained that there were exceptions, and triumphantly quoted: Though I speak with the tongues of men and angeles"
 But the young lady answered, de- murely: That won't do. for. you see. both genders are mentioned there.'

GRAIN AND PRODUCE

Chicago, June 29.-Both sellers and buyers held off in the wheat trade today. pending congressional action on the food and closed at exactly the same as yes terday's finish, $2.01 July and $1.s11z Sep tember. The outcome in corn ranged from 2c decline to Ac advance and oats lost a shade to ss@15c. Provisions suf- fered losses of 17c to 25c net.
 At first wheat showed a bearish lean ing, influenced more or less by word of plans to insure joint action of the United States and Canada in regulating exports and milling operations as well as gen eral marketing requirements. In this connection it was pointed out that the Canadian supplies of low grade wheat were large and seemed to be pressing for sale at so low price as to come into competition with corn as feed. Harden ing of values nevertheless took place in the last half of the session, apparently as a result to some extent of gossip that the domestic wheat was not moving as freely yesterday as had been expected. Export activity put strength into the July delivery of corn, but distant options were heavy owing to optimistic crop reports. Toward the end of the session some sell ing was brought about by adyices from Washington that assurances of ship ments to Holland from the United States had been suspended.
 Oats were easy in consequence Of the favorable crop outlook. On the other hand, good sized reduction of the vis- ible supply total Monday was looked for.
 Provisions lacked any aggressive sup port. Lower quotations on hogs dis couraged buyers, and so, too, did the fact that cash demand was sluggish. Future quotations were as follows: " inb (rlnsa

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 29.-Rather nervous fluctuations within comparatively nar- row limits featured the trading in cot ton here today. During the greater part of the session selling pressure was on the market, but toward the end 1t lifted and prices recovered It was profess sional market and prices were easily in fluenced either way. Last prices showed net decline of 1 to points
 On the opening call there was bulge of to 23 points, but this hard spot called out heavy offerings. Liverpool was said to be a heavy seller on this side and offerings from local traders were rather heavy because of what were considered unfavorable features in the restrictions under which Liverpool today resumed business in future contracts Scattered showers in Texas also stimu- lated selling, although the early bulge was partly due to the fact that there was no rain in the west so far as the weather map showed. The market fell off to a net decline of 22 to 2S points
 Tho tone was steadier after the minus correction of 24,5S3 bales in the New York stock was announced and snort sellers of the early part of the session tried to take their profits but found lit tie cotton for sale.
