RECORD DAT CROP
 |SNOW IN DANGER
Hot Weather and Drouth Are Impairing An Other
 wise Bumper Crop

Chicago, June 19.-Hot weather and drouth, impairing the promise of rec ord breaking crop of oats, had a con- spicuous part today in forcing sharply higher prices on grain. The close was strong with corn up 15sc to 2S at $1. i51s G146 July, and $1.47M August. Oats gained BMSc and provisions 2o@65c.
 Oats took the leadership away from corn, both as to volume of business and as to upturns in value. The principal bullish factor was the weekly report which showed that actual damage had been done in Kansas, Missouri and Montana and rain was needed in some of the eastern states. Inasmuch as here tofore prices had been virtually based on perfect crop outlook. buying on a big scale developed, and the advance received additional impetus from export purchas- ing. Besides arrivals were scanty and consignment notices indicated but little likelihood of any immediate increase. Under such circumstances. reactions proved unimportant and the market closed at the topmost level of the day.
 Corn sympathized with the advance in oats, although no injury to corn was mentioned in the government advices. On the ether hand, however, expecta- tions were for decreased receipts of corn
 Provisions rose with grain, despite weakness of hogs.

New Orleans, Juno 19.-Hot weather in lexas aud portions of other states in the beit mixed with complaints of drouth, i'at eottan t1 higher levels today after a decline 2 ound the opening New buying Tor lons accounts entered the market in volume and shorts covered on a large seAie. The early decline amounted to 26 to 55 points; this was recovered and re- placed by an advance of 30 to 57 points over yesterdays close. Last prices were at net advance of 27 to 46 points.
 The opening was lower and selling continued for a short period thereafter on expectations of a favorable set of weekly crop reports from the govern ment. The reports on the whole were about as favorable as expected, but men, ton of the effect of drouth and heat in localities in Texas and of drouthy con- ditions in. sections of Mississippi and Georgia caused uneasiness. Nervousness over this new phase of the crop situation was increased by private messages from Texas predicting that serious damage would result with few days more of high temperatures. These features laid the foundation of the buying movement
 The demand was further increased by reports of the widening out of discounts or the low grades in Texas spot markets and by the report from New York that new government cloth contracts specified more liberal use of lower grades of raw material.

Over W. E. CampbeIrs Wire

New Orleans, June 19.-High temper atures in Texas and fear of the conse- quences to the crop of continued heat and drouth in that state and similar conditions in portions of Mississippi and Georgia caused buying movement of importance in cotton today.
 In the early trading offerings were liberal and sellers were confident but later offerings were scanty and the market firmed up rapidly. From net decline of 26 to 55 points it rose to a net advance of 30 to 57 points.
 Expectations were for very favorable weekly weather reports from the gov ernment and these expectations caused the early selling. While they were, in a measure fulfilled the mention of de- terioration in parts of Texas, of mod crate drouth in Georgia, and of suffer- ing through insufficient rains in parts of Mississippi, made the trade fear that a turning point in the crop might be at hand
 This fear was intensified by the hot and dry weather map and the forecast of fair weather for the entire cotton region.
 On top of everything were many tele- grams from Texas reporting terrific heat and predicting that serious dam age would result should present con- ditions continue even a few days longer. Shorts went to covering and much long buying came in and the mar l1et responded quickly to the pressure.
 Houston reports spot revision which widens the discount on the lower grades and New York says that now government orders for cloths will be under specifications calling for more lib eral consumption of the low grades. Taking it all around the situation hardly points to further declines for the time being.

 Opening at further declines, cotton soon shot upward on trade buying and cover ing. July closed at 26.25c, while the gen. eral list closed at a net advance of 26 to A points. Covering became active during the early afternoon on the com plaints of high temperatures in the southwest, the favorable war news and bullish spot advices. Liverpool was a seller of new crop deliveries. evidently on straddles The weekly weather report was favorable, as had been expected. All spot news was of a bullish nature.
 Hot weather and drouth is impairing the promise for a record-breaking crop of oats, and forced the staple up as high as Sc on some months Corn was also strong in the pit, closing 17sc to 2lsc up. Provisions followed the trail of grain in spite of weakness in hogs.

COTTON OPENS WEAK
 THEN GOES UPWARD
General List Closed at Net Advances Ranging From
 26 to A Points

New York, June 19-A further decline at the opening of the cotton market to- day was followed by sharp advances on 1 trade buying and covering. July con tracts sold up from 553c to 36c and closed at 26.25c with the general list clos ing steady at a net advance of 26 to A points. The opening was barely steady at decline of IA to 49 points under a renewal of yesterdays selling movement which was encouraged by the favorable weather map and the expectations of a oearish weekly report from the weather bureau. Brokers with western connec- tions were sellers of July presuma bly, to louidate long accounts, while there was considerable Liverpool selling of new crop deliveries, supposedly on straddles. These offerings were absorbed around 3. .45c for October and 23.42c for Decem- Der, or about 23 to 2S points net lower on the more active months The weekly report of the weather bureau proved quite as favorable as expected regarding progress of the crop for the period, but 1t failed to bring in any fresh selling of consequence. This fact in itself in- creased disposition to cover, particularly as the uncertainties of ultimate yields were emphasized by the official state ment that boil weevil were increasing in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. Con- siderable attention was also attracted by private complaints of dry weather and high temperatures in parts of Texas, and the buying became more urgent during the afternoon. Stop orders were uncov- cred on tfe advance which extended to
 463c for October and 4.30c for Decem- Der, making gains of S2 to S8 points from the low level of the morning and of 54 to 65 points from last nights closing figures. Last prices were a few points off from the best under realizing The more encouraging character of the war news. doubtless had a sentimental in- fluence while the advance was also pro- noted by the bullish average of the spot news.
