GROWING WEATHER
 FAVORED THE BEARS
Both Corn and Oats Take a Dip Under Previous
 Days Quotations

Chicago, June 13.-Ideal weather for the growing crop favored the bears today in the corn market. Despite some sharp buges in the last half of the session, the market closed heavy, 1 to 13sc net lower, with July s1.4S1zd1 .i35s, and Au- gust s1.45A.
 Most corn traders took the view that the prevailing clear skies and season able temperature would promote culti- vation and would force growth along as fast as desirable. The fact that re- ceipts were still of liberal volume tended also to give impetus to selling. Under general bear pressure from commission houses. the market averaged decidedly lower in the first two hours, but when made an upward shoot, the effect Of which was not exhausted until near the finish of the day. Covering by shorts seemed to be chiefly responsible for the transient advance, although reports of new wave of excessive heat in the far west had doubtless more or less temporary bullsh influence.
 Absence of demand from exporters did much to pull down the value of oats. Besides, hedging sales were decidedly in evidence.
 Provisions reflected the general weak ness of grain and hogs. Something or a rally, however, took place. owing to the late temporary bulge in the corn market.

Louisville Manager
 Visits Redwood to
 Land Promising Men

Manager Bill Clymer of the Louisville Colonels was an interested spectator at yesterdays game at Redwood. the Ken tuckian having come south to look over promising material He has no particu- lar player in mind but it is understood that one or two of the Barons may get
 jobs on Bills pay roll.
 There was rumor current yesterday to the effect that Clymer was here to investigate the new six-club league with a view to participating in its organiza- tion, but he would not confirm it. it seems that quite few of the Southern
 league players will still get an oppor- tInity to earn living at thelr favorlte avocation, for it is known that several of the American Association clubs have made attempts to land them.
 Hill Southworth hasn't yet been grabbed by big league team. but if he isn't soon it will be surprise to local fans and poor judgment on the part of the major ivory hunters for, as Blinkey Horn eays, Southworth takes up where other Southern league fielders leave off.

STEEL MAKES SPURT
 ON HOME STRETCH
Money Rates Were Undis- turbed By Withdrawals
 To Pay Income Tax

New York, June 13.-A gradual hard ening of prices. subject to moderate re- actions, accompanied today's trading on the stock exchange. Dealings were light until the final hour, when a spirited in quiry for United States Steel and some of the more speculative issues effected an active and strong close.
 News of the day, both foreign and do- mestic, seemed to exert little influence, although the first setback was coincident with the publication of the French war bulletin.
 Money rates were undisturbed by heavy transfers of cash to meet income tax payments, but the supply of time funds was Exceedingly limited.
 Pools extended their operations to stoclSs of secondary importance, includ. sng low-priced metals and miscellaneous issues, with sporadic upward movements in distillers, Industrial Alcohol. motors, oils, feathers and sugars. The demand for Unted States Steel, which made a net gain of points, infused strength to the entire list toward the close, rails and shippings alone holding back. Reading moved contrary to the general trend, for feiting practically all it's 1A gain.
 Tobac ccos also were extremely variable on the sharp setback to Sumatra in the forenoon. that stock later regaining half of it's 41a points decline. Lires or remit tances to Italy recovered sharply on an- nouncement of prohibition of arbitrase operations in that form of exchange.
 Liberty issues and the general bond list were irregular. Paris 6s again forfeited large fraction Total sales, par value, aggregated S4,676,OO0 Old United States bonds were unaltered on call.

above yesterdays last quotations, and closing at a net gain for the day of 8 to 4S points. Considerable short cover ing was in evidence and there was 3 good demand for long account, especially after the quoting of spot prices higher by D points, which put middling up to S075c
 Rains in the eastern half of the belt and high temperatures and complaints of hot winds in the west were the features that started the advance Contributing to the steadiness of the market were re- ports from northern mill centers that movement was under way to induce spinners to buy supplies of raw cotton ahead in order to obviate transportation difficulties next winter The rise in spots was generally unexpected and it served to round out the other bullish features of the session,
 It was generally predicted that tomor- rows census bureau report on consump- ton for May would be bearish, but these predictions did not weigh against values.

OLDAND NEW CROPS
 OF COTTON ARE FIRM
General List Closed Firm at Net Advance of 37
 to 5S Points

New York, June 13-Reports of an in. creasing trade demand for both old an1 new crop deliveries gave the cotton mar ket generally firm tone today and led to covering by people who had sold on the favorable crop news of yesterday. New crops were relatively firm with October selling up to 24Ssc. or b4 points net higher and closing at 24.s4c, with the general list closing firm at a net advance Of B to 5S points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points on July, but generally to II points lower under overnight selling orders and a favorable view ot early weather reports. July sold off $ to points right after the call, but the market quickly steadied on Liverpool buying of the near month to undo strad- dies, and buying of new crop months by spot houses. Part of the latter demand came from the south and led to reports that southern spot interests were buying hedges against sales for early new crop delivery to spinners. This idea was colored by reports of an improved de- mand in the goods market which was supposed to reflect a better understand ing of government proposals for prtee fixing or control. After Showing net advances oe about 20 to 8 points the market sagged off slightly under real izing but firmed up later in the after noon on renewed buying by Liverpool. continued covering and support from trade sources. July sold at 26c, or s points net higher, while new crop de- liveries showed net advances of 53 to bS points with December selling at 24c. The close was within point or two of the best. Detailed weather reports showed rather more rain than considered desirable in parts of Georgia and Ala bama. But except for talk of increas- ing boil weevil activity, crop complaints were little in evidence. No exports today.
