CORN MARKET WAS
 BULL|SH IN TONE
Closed 31-Sc Higher, With Oats and Provisions
 Following

Chicago, June 10.-Corn developed notable strength today owing largely to prospective curtailment of receipts. The market closed form, 2% to ssc net higher, with July $1.3sA &1.40, and Au- gust $1.407s. Oats gained Tsc to 1ssc. The finish in provisions ranged from 30 cents decline to 5c advance.
 Upturns in corn prices began soon after the opening and were first as- cribed chiefly to unfavorable weather conditions such as lack of warmth and excessive moisture. Predictions of generally fair skies and of higher tenn peratures for next two or three days brought about temporary bearish re- action, but the readiness with which offerings were absorbed soon led to a fresh advance during which much talk was current that notices of consign- ment from the country showed fall ing off and that the crop movement hereafter was likely to be less liberal than has been the rule. In the late trading shorts covered freely and the close was at virtually the tomost level of the season.
 Oats reflected the changes in corn. Cereal interests were good buyers and it was said export business amounted to 100000 bushels.
 Big exports of lard and meats made provisions average higher. However, realizing by longs set in and the finish was weak.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 10.-StronS rises were stored by the new crop months in the cotton market today on complaints of too much rain in the belt and the growing scarcity of labor. July in con trast to its recent strength, dragged behind the new crops and gave the mar ket an irregular appearance. Last prices for the day were 21 points off, net, on July and fl to 47 points up net, on the new crop months.
 In the trading around the opening there was a general rise of 10 to F points, but moderately heavy selling met this small bulge and a quick reaction carried the market 6 to 90 points under the close of Saturday. July made the widest loss and the selling apparently was due in a large measure to liquidation of Ions contracts. The wet weather shown on the map, the forecast of more rainy weather for the eastern belt and priva-e accounts of too much rain falling Tn many localities, combined, with reports from all sections of the cotton region that .he supply of labor was extreme.y small, created a buying wave on which the new crop months rose strongly until they were 4e to 50 points over Saturday s finals On this upward swing the best that July did was to stand six points over Saturdays close. The market was dull late in the session with buyers manifesting disappointment over tha dull and unchanged spot market

GIANT STRIDES
 IN SHIPBUILDING
By HOLLAND

New York. June 10-tSpecial.)-lf 1t were possible to transport the skilled artisans and wage earners who are now France within a week then the Amer jean army now in France, if the conn mon understanding of it's size be correct, would find itself overmatched in num- bers by those American workmen.
 The soldiers are fighting and the workmen are laboring for a common cause. The estimate made this morning by the National Service section of the Emergency Fleet corporation fixes the number of artisans and wage earners in the shipyards and in the industrial plants that are occupied in manufacturing ma chinery and other equipment for the ships at about seven hundred and fifty knew something of the marvellous activ- ity the United States is now directing in the building of ships and equipment for them yet only few can have real ized until this senni-official statement was made this morning, that this industry dioh0 ShtoiiS ,Ho SAnP'Osi iAieHl VI ofS' seven hundred thousand artisans and wage-earners.

 cries felt the influence of crop complaints

WALL STREET TAXES
 DAY OFF IN TRADING
Trading Restricted to More Popular Issues-Bullish
 Initiative Lacking

New York. June 1o.-Transactions in shares, the smallest turnover in almost a month. Trading was restricted to the more popular issues and bullish initi- alive was lacking.
 Resumption of the German drive in the direction of Paris and indications of a continuance of enemy U-boat activ- fly in nearby waters were the principal factors in giving pause to the market.
 Domestic influences contributed to the general apathy, the decrease of about 10000 tons reported by the U. $. Steel corporation in thrilled orders for May somewhat exceeding estimates. This makes the fourth successive contraction since last January and reduces the cor poration's bookings to the smallest total since the early part of 1916.
 United States Steel moved listlessly within narrow radius and closed al one point loss Related stocks fluctu- ated in similar degree, but few specu- lative issues, including Sunatra Tobacco, Texas company and Baldwin Locomotive recorded variable gains.
 Rails were a negligible quantity, some of the high grade shares remaining in complete obscurity throughout the ses- sion, but shippings were firm to strong, Marine preferred making an extrem. gain of 2Z points.
 Call money eased perceptibly on last weeks strengthening of bank reserves and time funds for the shorter periods were in better supply.
 Railway tonnage at western centers fell off slightly. and business in those sections is waiting on an expansion of transportation facilities.
 Paris sixes rallied, but other inter nationals were irregular. Total sales, par value, aggregated ss,25o,Ooo
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York, June 10.-The market today was steady at as sharp advance from Saturday, with considerable local buying of the fall positions. On the advance the south was a slow seller in conse- quence of continued favorable weather for the new crop, but the local feeling is that weather conditions will change and thereby alter the present prospect, which is certainly most favorable. The July premium was reduced considerably in consequence of outside liquidation. and it would appear that the interest outstand- ing had been very materially reduced last week. Local sentiment is rather bullish, more on the idea of what may happen to the crop than because of any actual damage. As yet we do not note any material increase in trade demand
