The plan of the chairman of the

to organize all the women of each
county for patriotic work Of every
description The committees will be

The wolnen's committee Is to be the

and to second their efforts in the way

Oats finished un- changed to Ssc lower, and provisions with gains of 12 to 40c
 Sales in the corn market were pre- ceded by liberal declines due to im- proved weather conditions and to sub sfdence of nervousness in regard to likelihood of damage from rains in Iowa. Sentiment changed later how ever, owing to a renewal of advices that cultivation in many sections had been delayed. and that the crop move ment would be hampered. Bears were further intimidatcd by assertions that industries were endeavoring to accu- mulatc a surplus so as to be fortified against any shipping preference which might be given to wheat in the harvest time rush. At the close fresh notice of peace gossip acted as soine- thing of a weight on values
 Correct anticipation that the gov ernment crop report would prove bear sh caused the oats market to be rela- lively weak Besides, demand from the seaboard was not urgent
 Strength of hog prices gave an up- ward slant to provisions. There were signs, too, of enlarged requirements for dry saltcd meats.

WEEKLY COTTON

New York. June 1.-The features Which have been most generally commented on in the cotton market during the past week have heen the failure Of high off cial condition figures to inspire fresh selling and the relative strength of July contracts both in New York and New Orleans. The market was rather nervous and unsettled at the beginning of the week. The appearances of German suD- marines in American waters created no real apprehension of anything more than temporary disturbance of shipping, out for a tune there was some confusion over the effect on marine war risk in- surance rates, while the decline of Nor day was also influenced by the expecta- tion of bearish crop figures and con- tinued good weather in the south. The market was steadied by covering anu trade buying on scale down, however, and IS room as it was certain that the optimistic view of the new crop start had been discounted prices turned firmer. The governments report placing the con- dition at S2.3 proved even more favor able than ordered. and was followed by very favorable weekly report from the weather bureau on Wednesday, but ucllNtT Ol licSe features fSQ tO any PIcS- sure of consequence. and the advance later in the week was stimulated by the evident nervousness of near-montn shorts. July contracts sold as high as 26.52c on Thursday, comparing with A 23c. the low point of Monday, and 23o5c the recent low level Reports of an improving demand for low grade cotton and of continued demand for spots ou. of the local stock, seemed to modify the expectation of heavy deliveries next month, and shorts were very active buy Z CTS on the advance until July showed a premium of about 25s point sover Octo- Der. Offerings then increased slightly. and the market showed reactions during today's trading under realizing for over the week end. There has been very littis discussion of the Washington news re- garding an investigation of cotton ex- changes by the house of markets, the outcome of which appears to be waiting without anxiety by local brokers who have been doing business in keeping with the provisions of the cotton futures To

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 7--Fairly wide ad- vances in the morning session in the cot ton market today were succeeded by declines in the afternoon. The strength or July sustained the whole market in the early trading, but liquidation came rom the long side at the advance and 1t caused an unsettled tone eventually. The rise of 25 points in spots was one of the features of the session and it caused a quick upturn toward the end. so that net changes for the day were slight. Last prices were points lower to points higher than the last prices of yesterday.
 In the early trading there was pressure to buy July and other months rose in sympathy, the new crops being helped to some extent by the rains in the east ern belt and the forecast of more mois- ture to come. Complaints of boIl weeyil and the favorable war news of the day were also sustaining influences At the highest levels prices were .7 to 1T points up From this there was slump until the market stood F to 52 points below the closing level.
 On the close today July was 26. 45c bid. which compared with 303Sc as the price for middling on the spot board This; attracted considerable attention in view of the fact that the first notice day for July is less than three weeks away.

 The market opened at an advance of 16 to 25 points under relatively firm cables. renewed covering. and further Liverpool buying of July and October to undo stradd1es. The demand was by TO means as active or urgent as it had been on the previous day, however, while it seemed that July premium os 25s points was attracting increased offerings. Selling was partly of July against purchases of October to undo old straddles by traders who evidently felt more inclined to accept existing profits than run risk of unfavora b le new crop developments. which would lead to a narrowing the difference be- tween old and new crop months. Sell ing the later deliveries was held in check by prospects for more rains in the eastern belt where showers have been more or less general during the past few days. It was apprehended that continuation of the wet weather would lead to complaints of grassy fields which would be considered more than usually unfavorable this season owing to the scarcity of labor. The buying of new crop months against sales of old crop positions also helped to steady October around 2334c and December at 22.SSc. or about 20 to 25 points net lower. Prices rallied later on.

Bradstreet' s Review
York June 7.-Bradstreet's

New York June 7.-Bradstrest's tomorrow will say:
 Government domination of a myriad of lines of industry and trade and al- most unanimously favorable crop re- ports are the two great outstanding features of the situation. Government communicating of the iron and steel, wool and heavy leather outputs are ac- complished facts; further extension of its control of manufactured textiles and of food supplies and prices of same seem inevitable Great basic changes are therefore proceeding under the new and fast moving monopolization. of hu- man activities. directly or indirectly in the war Man power is being taken up steadily and rapidly by the seccnd draft and the attraction of female la- bor into lines formerly monopolized by men is growing apace. The results are the increasing difficulty attending the obtaining of supplies of goods or raw materials for civilian use, while at the same time largely increased earning capacity of women puts added strain upon supplies of good suitable for the latter.
