HOT SPELL IN BELT HAS BEEN BROKEN Hedging in Oats Weakened Staple-Povisions Were
 Sympathetic

Chicago. June 22.-Corn prices aver aged lower today, influenced by exccl- lent crop conditions and by the effectual breaking of the hot wave. The market, however, closed unsettled, $1.44 to s1.S0 July, s14e1s for August-14c to sc up compared with 24 hours before. Oats finished %c to 1c down and provisions varying from Pc decline to 7c advance.
 Weekend adjustment of trades rallied the corn market sharply in the last hour, but otherwise the bears seemed to possess almost entire control. Cooi weather over the whole of the chief pro- ducing territory gave downward slant to values right at the outset.
 Hedging sales weakened oats. Besides crop and weather conditions were favor able and export interests were out oi the market.
 Provisions declined with grain and hogs, but later rallied owing to cover. ing by shorts. Trade was light and iE pork had next to no volumne at all

COTTON MARKET
 QUIET YESTERDAY General List Closed Steady at Net Decline of 8 to
 IS Points

New York, June 22.-The cotton mar ket was comparatively quiet today with fluctuations irregular. enough to suggest evening up for over the week end. After selling at 24.50c early, Oc- tober rallied to 24.77c, but eased off, closing at 24.61c, while July reacted from 26.76, closing at 26.44c. The gen. -eral list closed steady at a net de- cline of to IS points on July and Au- gust 80 from 30 to points higher on later deliveries.
 An opening decline of 3 to points reflected scattered selling which was probably promoted by local map read
 CTS who thought they saw prospects
 for slightly lower temperatures and
 showers in the southwest. These early offerings were soon absorbed however
 while the official forecast was for gen.
 erally fair weather in Texas and Okla homa and the market firmed up during
 the middle of the morning on cover-
 ing. July advanced from 26.39c to
 26.75c. while December sold up from
 24.13c to 24.3Sc, making net gains of
 about 20 to 24 points. The volume of
 business then tapered off, suggesting that the demand from shorts had been pretty we'll supplied, and the market was easier late in the forenoon. Ac- cording to the travelling representa- tive of local spot firm rain is needed in some sections of Texas with the crop beginning to suffer as cotton has nearly stopped growing with the plant small The official forecast for cooler weather with scattering showers in Arkansas suggested that Mondays weather map might show more favor- able conditions in the southwest al- though no definite promise of either showers or low temperatures was held out for Texas or Oklahoma. Reviews of fhe goods trade indicated that husi. | ness wvis sill restricted by uncertainty regal ting price fixing plans with re spect to which an Announcement of some sort is expected as result of yesterdays conference in Washington

New Orleans Cottnn


 New Orleans. June 22.-Price changes in cotton were not wide. the market assum- ing a. waiting attitude because or the nearness of the first notice day for July, next Tuesday, and the pending bureau re- ports on condition and acreage. During the greater part of the session the mar lxet held quiet and steady at a small net advance as the result of the favorable war news.
 Around the opening the market fell 6 to noints, but this decline was quickly recovered and the trading months were , sent ls to 2s points above the level of yes terday's close. Last prices were points higher to 6 points lower than the final quotations of yesterday. Reports of scat tered rains in the western belt caused moderate sagging tendency toward the close.
 July showed more steadiness that did the new crop months, apparently as the result of short covering. This served to give color to claims that July tenders will be taken up. should they appear on the first notice day.

Birth of Standard Time.

the American continent is divided
