In d u strial
Cotton

The features in the cotton market
of advices Of a big crop to inspire ag
gressive selling and the relative
strength of July contracts. The latter
delivery sold up to 1886, or 50 points
above the close of Tuesday, and 172
points above the low level of Monday,
.iosing at 1886. The general list closed
firm at net advance of 20 to 88 points.
1t is the impression around the ring
lists in July. Liverpool is believed to
be short here on straddle account, and
there appears to be trade short in
terest against actual cotton in the
South, which seems unlikely to be
brought here for delivery. and possibly
a speculative short interest which has
been looking for break in the spot
markets. Yesterdays demand tor July
appeared to come from all three of
these sources, and the tirmness of the
near month had a sympathetic influ
ence on later deliveries. Washington
advices reporting that the question of
utilizing low grades would be taken
up with the War Industries Board,
with reports of demand for cotton out
of the local stock, naturally served to
stimulate the covering movement in
the near month.
The market opened at An advance of
3S to 45 points on the more active posi-
1,ons. The disposition to cover which
lad developed Tuesday afternoon was
stimulated by firm cables. There was
good deal of realizing, however, and
after the publication of the weekly
weather report prices reacted several
points. But pressure subsidized rather
than increased in the setback, and the
market soon frmed up again, touching
the highest levels of the day in the
late trading, when new crop deliveries
sold 35 to AT points net higher.
Washington advices reporting that
the War Industries Board had decided
to fix prices on cotton duck and similar
goods had an unsettling influence on
sentiment, but only a momentary in
fucncc, during the middle of the after
neon. The attention of the trade, in
deed, seemed to be pretty we'll monop-
olized by the near-month situation,
and there were predictions that July
would show still greater premium
ever new crop positions. Exports for
the day were 9,991 bales, making
3,571, 664 so far this season, against
5,105,222 last year. Southern spot
markets, as officially reported. were ali
unchanged, except Norfolk, which was
80 points, and Galveston, which was 70
points net higher.

Coffee, Sugar and Tea

Coffee Futures-There was little SELL
ing pressure by trade interests at the
start yesterday and prices opened at
decline of 2 to points. Values held
close to this level throughout the day,
with little or no activity, and the
market closed net l to 4 points lower
The Brazil markets again showed
frn.ness, Rio spots advancing rs reis
and Santos showing gains of 200 reis.
Santos futures were irregular. 100 reis
higher to 25 reis lower. Private cables
indicated that the advance in Brazil
was due to government operations and
traders here were not disposed 10 fol-
low the upward tendency Stocks at
the primary markets are unusually
large and much coffee is believed to
still be on plantations owing to the
congestion at the ports It is esti-
mated by some leading authorities that
at the close of the season the worlds
visible supply of coffee will be at
least 100000 bags, Or about 4,00o,-
coo bags larger than q year ago.

both spring and winter wheat After
such long period of unsettled weather
it is hoped that conditions will be more
settled during the harvesting of the
winter wheat crop, as this would as
sure crop of high quality. The spring
wheat crop has yet to pass through its
most critical period, but because of the
cool weather which has prevailed dur
ing the spring, it is said, the crop is
deeply rooted, and consequently in
more vigorous condition to withstand
drought or blight Stocks continue to
decrease, and the American public is
asked by the food administration to
continue to economic in the use of
flour in order that there shall be no
falling off in the exports to Europe.
Corn.-The action of the corn market
yesterday showed that the heavy cover
ing movement OF Tuesday had left the
market IN weaker technical position.
There was moderate buying at the
start which sent prices up 4 to / cent
bushel on the assumption that shorts
would continue to cover. The demand,
however. proved less urgent than an
tlcipated, and when selling pressure
again developed the market eased off
rapidly, closing al the lowest. with
net losses of 81 to 15sc Underlying
conditions were tended to indicate a
drop in prices. Aside from rains in
Iowa, weather conditions were favor
able, and the weekly weather and crop
bulletin reported very satisfactorily
on the crop, the only complaints be-
ing that replanting will be necessary
in some localities. The cash demand
was slow, although it was said that
millers were buying in the West in
order to secure supplies prior to the
movement of new wheat, which it was
feared will result in falling off in
the receipts of corn until the early de-
mand for wheat has been satisfied.

PLEASING ENTERTAINMENT AT
 MEETING IF HE ALPINE CLUB

About sixty people attended the meeting of the Skagway Alpine club last night which was held in the annex lI the Presbyterian church. Before the business of the meeting was discussed the program commit tee put on a very interesting and entertaining performance, consisting of a short skit called "The Spring Frost" of two musical selections by Prosper Ganty, Jr. and Gould Flick ardt and of three caliiope selections on a human organ.
 Business under discussion in cluded the advisibility of renting a building for meeting purposes. This committee, consisting of Miss Agnes Moffati and Ralph Pedersen, sub mitted several offers for rooms to the club and recommended the or ganiza,ion accept the offer of Martin Conway for the old cable office building cn 5th avenue at $500 per month. Considerable discus sion took place, and the general Concensus of opinion seemed to be that the club could get room free of cost, and use the money for oth- CT purposes which would be of a permanent benefit to the town. Therefore the recommendation of U committee was voted down, and the same committee was continued to see what further could be done about securing a meeting place.
 The matter of the adoption of remaining points in the proposed constitution was brought up, and it was agreed to call a special meet ing in the near future at which time this would be finally settled, and at which tine the room committee
