COTTON

New Orleans June 23.--The net change in prices in the cotton market last week was a loss of ' to 55 points, Favorable crop accounts made for losses which at one time amounted to s3 to 140 points. but toward the end of the week the dry weather in Texas. together with high tempera- lures and the favorable trend of war news, caused a reaction from the low est levels.
 The first bale of cotton from the new crop, marketed at Galveston Fri day. was something of depressing in fluence, especially as 1t was accom- panied by offers to sell new crop cot ton for July shipment from Texas points, making the crop appear some what earlier than usual
 Spots closed net unchanged for the week on midd1ng at 31 cents. The discount on the lower grades contin- ued to widen and reports from dry goods centers were that new govern ment orders for cotton contained spec ifications which would permit more lib erai use of the lower grades,
 This week the trade probably will be chiefly concerned at first with July tenders, since Tuesday Is the first notice day for that month, unless war news Is of sufficient importance 10 absorb all interest. Tuesday also ends the June condition period and during the remainder of the week there will be several private bureau estimates on the percentage of condition and probably also on acreage, since the June condition figures will be accom- panied by the annual preliminary count of the area planted, The wsa- ther over Texas and Oklahoma will be of importance because of the drouth spots in those states and be- cause of recent reports of high tenn peratures. Continued hot and dry weather, especially If hot winds should develop, would be factor of considerable influence.

THE WORLDS MARKETS
METALS

New York, June 23.---The advance of the price of ore 45 cents after June SO agreed upon by the war industries board and representatives of the American Iron and Steel institute, was greeted with satisfaction in the trades, There was some disappoiiit- ment. however. that steel prices were rot advanced also.
 Government orders last week were exceptionally heavy, particularly fof railroad equipment and shipbuilding, the bulk of requisition being for plates. shapes and bars.
 Orders for fabricated steel during May reported by the bridge builders and structural society were equiva- lent to 50 per cent of shop capacity. or 10S,000 tons, nearly all on govern- ment account Steel corporation plants are producing at the rate of 9S47 per cent capacity. Other pro- aucers are presumed to be equally busy.
 Iron is distributed to consumers closely in accordance with the new regulations and in proportion to their requirements for essential products. Production is heavy but deliveries leave no surplus,
 The producers lead committee have decided to fix the price of lead at 7S215 cents New York and ITS cents East St. Louis. It is presumed that prices fixed by the committee will suon govern the entire market.
 Spelter is firm and is advancing steadily.
 Tin is quiet at irregular prices. CcA- sumers are we'll supplied at the mo- ment and show little interest. Spot tin is quoted at s2 to sS cents. New York

Taking Their Pay in Trade


 Maynard Owen Williams. in the Chris
 tim Herald.
 From Erivan we went over to the base of Ararat at Igdir where the relief work established by the lord mayor of London s fund has it's center. It was pitiful to see the number of women who came in asking for spinning wheels so that they could earn something to keep themselves fed and clothed. and who had to be put off until more wheels could be made An interesting item in ohe work is the fact that for spinning a pound and a half of cotton the women are allowed to re- ceive pound and a half of cotton cloth, so that the committee Is giving the raw material and the labor of weaving to the women, who spin the cotton into thread. But each woman is allowed to receive only three pounds of this cloth instead of the money. This scheme has been worked out so as to allow the workers to receive part of the reward they earn in materials instead of roubles which will buy prac- tically no materials. since they are none to be had except those produced by the relief committees and some home indus try.

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, June 2S.--Trading in stocks last week was again highly professional, with a decided reduction of the previous weeks activity. The tone of the market continued to express the unwavering confidence of leading financial interests in the ultimate re- suit of the war.
 In point of fact, foreign develop ments exerted less influence than usual, interest concerning mainly in home af- fairs The course of tax, legislation at Washington. the labor situation and the further regulation of commodities by the government were more potent in their effect
 Contrary to expectation. the war schedule for steel and iron was with out detriment to the stocks most con- cerned. A substantial advance in iron ore offered hope of an upward revis- ion in allied products should the ne- cessity arise.
 There was marked relaxation in money conditions at this cener, sub stantial amounts of time funds for the shorter periods being offered at the lowest rates in several months. Call loans also eased perceptibly on a pro- nounced expansion of offerings.
 Unofficial statements dealing with the next Liberty Loan contributed to the weakness of existing issues early in the week, but prices strengthened later on denial of any advance in the interest rate.
 Measures recently adopted to sta bilize exchange on Italy proved effect i've and similar action is expected in connection with remittances to neutral centers. including Spain, where eco- homie conditions have caused some dis location of rates
