DECIDED SETBACK
 IN VALUE OF CORN
Growth of Staple Is Above Normal and Subject to
 Damage

Chicago. June B.-Corn underwent a decided setback in value today, largely owing to the spread of opinions that the present growth of the crop was far ahead of normal and that serious damage from hot weather was unlikely. Prices closed weak, 1&Q2Ac net lower, with July $1. 4S7sd1.44, and August s1459s91. 45l1S Oats lost 1scQ3sc.
 In provisions the outcome ranged from 55c decline to an advance of Pc. Gov ernment reports that the force of the hot wave had been broken throughout a wide section did much to put the corn bulls at a disadvantage. Selling pressure increased to q material extent compared with what has of late been the rule. and although numerous small rallies took place, ensuing declines shsowed a great deal more impetus.
 In the end, many early buyers were attempting tc unload. and the market was without support, despite some fall ing off in receipts and notwithstanding assertions that fair shipping business had been done of late with the east.
 Lower temperatures and excellent crop reports weakened oats. A slight revival of export business, though. acted partly as an offset.
 Provisions sympathiZed with the weak ness of grain The only active demand was from shcrts in lard.

 Loan Pleased Traders

New York, June 1s.-The stock market was becalmed today. trading diminish ing steadily after the first hour with an uncertain drift, although gains out numbered declines at the stagnant close
 There was again a complete absence of incentive or any developments bearing pertinently upon values. War bulletins were of a hopeful tenor and Secretary McAdoo's statement regarding the rate or interest on the next Liberty Loan evoked favorable banking comment.
 Italian exchange continued to improve, rates on neutral countries hardened more perceptibly and further gold imports from Canada were reported, making a total of $20, ,000 from that source since last week.
 So far as important stocks displayed any tendency at all, they were guided largely by the irregular course of such leaders United Sites Steel nd other prominent equipments, also Reading and shippings. these comprising fully 50 per cent of the small turnover.
 Additional gains in Royal Dutch Oil, General Cigars and other highly specu- latiye issues were partly cancelled in the gradual setback of the final hour, when the list yielded again from sheer inertia.
 Call money stiffened in response to broader inquiry, holding at per cent, but time funds for the shorter periods eased, with an increase of supply.
 Liberty Bonds were irregular at the close, after showing moderate strength, but internationals, mainly British issues, strengthened Total sales par value. aggregated s6,65o,0Oo. Old United States bonds advanced from 1s to F per cent on call

Alabamians Are Asked
 to Stop Nonessential Work

Montgomery, June B.-(Special)-At the reouest of the war industries board, the Alabama council of defense today appealed to all citizens of the state and all public authorities to discontinue all construction work and improvements which are not directly connected with the military needs of the nation until the end of the war in order that the money may be available for war purposes and labor, which is needed on the farms and in shipbuilding and other industries, may be obtained at the moment 1t IS needed.
 Reports have reached the state coun- cil that certain work is being done in the state which need not be completed until the end of the war. It was suggest ed that all persons thinking of making improvements might consult the state council in order that support for the enterprise may be obtained.
 The war industries board has informed the state council that it can lend no encouragement whatever to any person who desires to construct or improve prop erty which is not connected with the military campaign. It stated that all such construction and improvements should be left undone until the end of the war because there is a big need for money and labor.
 The appeal of the state council was directed toward any county and munici- nal authorities which may be planning Iinnrovements in their property and to nriyate citizens who may be thinking or improving their property and to cor norations not engaged in war work which may contemplate improvements

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, June 1S.-Liauidation i'll July
 which began at the opening was the fea-
 ture of the early market and brought
 ab bout a decline both in the July premium
 and the general market. This liquida-
 ton began from the west, which has been speculatively long on the near position
 and continued from local sources. Wea-
 ther conditions continue favorable and
 coupled with optimistic crop reports,
 have had some influence upon prices
 There was little or no trade demand
 which was partly due to more talk of price-fxing. It is not clearly understood by the trade what steps will be taken in this connection, although it is hoped that a margin between the raw maternal and the finished product may be the method adopted as this would be gen. orally advantageous and would leave the raw material market free to reflect the coming crop. The local feeling IS stili that something will occur to inJure the present excellent crop prospects.-Hub- bard Bros & Go.

New York Cotton Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 1S.-With the entire belt sending in the most favorable crop reports today the price of cotton suf- fered wide declines under general sell ing July switched from being the strongest month on the boards to the weakest. standing at its lowest 112 points under yesterdays close. On the new crop months the lowest prices were A to 47 points under yesterdays finals. Clos ing prices showed net losses of 36 to 5l points. The market remained at the de- cline throughout the session.
 The weather map was called favorable and intensified the effect of private crop returns.
 Considerable short selling appeared on the beiief that the weekly reports from the government tomorrow would be very favorable. July reached it's lowest level in the morning session, but the new crops did not reach their lowest until in the afternoon, following the quoting ot spots 20 points lower
 Some traders were of the opinion that the fact that next Tuesday, June 20, is first notice day for July had something to do with the selling movement in July, although there still is much uncertainty over tenders.

COVERING OF NEAR
 MONTHS IN COTTON
Rumors Are Heard That Liverpool Interests Are
 Still Short of Staple

New York, June 1s.-A subsistence of
 near-month covering proved the signal
 for liquidation and more active selling on
 favorable new crop prospects in the cot
 ton market here today. July led the
 early break, selling off to 25.73c, or 76
 points net lower but steaded from that
 level, while new crop deliveries reached
 the lowest prices in the late trading,
 with the general list closing steady at a
 net decline of 51 to 70 points
 The market opened steady at decline
 of to P points, but quickly weakened
 under scattering near-month liquidation which was stimulated by the sudden break in July at New Orleans. There
 was also selling of new crops on the con tfrued good weather in the south and eX- pectations of a bearsh weekly report from the weather bureau tomorrow. Private wires attributed the July weak ness in the southern market to the fact the uneasy shorts had covered and that longs were lquidating in advance of the notices which might be issued erly next week. The decline here was checked
 at 25.73c for July by the buying of houses with Liverpool connections, supposedly to undo straddles Buying of this sort has been considerably in evidence for the past several days, but it seemed the 1 impression that there was still a Liver | pool short interest of some importance and July later in the day was relatively steady. New crops sagged off owing to 1 the detailed weather reports, showing 1 very favorable conditions throughout the 1 belt, with October selling at 24c and 1 December at 23 65c in the late trading, or l 5 points net lower. Closing prices were
 at practically the lowest point of the l day. Spot advices were generally bullish and exports for the day were larger. l These features may have helped the tone | of July during the afternoon, but other wise had little effect, with the market showing increased sensitiyeness to the favorable character of the crop news.

 Company Is Reduced

Montgomery. June 1S.-(special)-Be- cause of the heavy decrease in express business due to the vitiating Of all con tracts with the railroads when the gov ernment took over the transportation
 lines, the state board of equalization to- day reduced the intangible assessment of the Southern Express company from $600, 600 to $4o000o and set the tangible assessment at s6o.277, the same as last year.
