THE WORLDS MARKETS
STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, June 16.-The course of the stock market throughout last week offered additional proof of the under iying strength. Dealings seldom rose above moderate proportions but the all most uninterrupted advance indicated q scarcity of supply.
 United States Steel's undsputed lead ership was perhaps the most reassur- ing feature of speculative interests, that stock closing at it's top quotation of the week. with a net gain of 61s points.
 All the equipment shares and the bet ter known war issues closed at varying but material gains. feathers and nu- merous specialties tended substantially higher.
 Pools extended their operations to many of the lower grain and obscure miscellaneous issues. shippings and to- baccos receiving less attention from those sources.
 Rails of the better class were again under partial restraint investors show ing no inclination to take up those stocks pending some definite understanding be- tween the railroads and Director Gen. eral MeAdoo regarding the form of con- tract now in dispute. Minor transpor- tations reflected in moderate degree the further brilliant crop reports, but the movement in that group did not em- brace cotton carriers. southern and south western shares being neglected.
 Banking interests viewed with interest the revival uf gold imports from Canada, the first n almost year.
 The crisis in the war situation was without effect on remittances to Lon don and Paris and Italian exchange ral- lied sharply.

COTTON GOODS

New Orleans, June 16,-A higher tendency was shown by cotton last week. especially toward the close when shorts covered on a large scale and ran prices up on themselves. July led all other months in the advance, being in fluenced by the strength of spots. In the early part of the week July re- peatedly traded at q discount of 400 points or more under middling spot; but on the close the discount was mar rowed to 2a5 points under, July clos ing at sS.o5c and middling at S1c.
 Highest levels were reached on the closing session, when the market stood 77 to 136 points over the previous weeks close on it's final quotations. During the week prices moved over a range of 102 to 195 points.
 Many bearish influences developed during the week, but their effect was only to bring temporary recessions. The weather over the belt was consid- cred almost perfect and the market was flooded with the most bearish crop and weather accounts, which led to ex tremely high estimates of conditions, some bureaus placing the percentage as high as S6 for the normal Statistics took a bearish twist, mill takings be- ing small and the decrease in the vis- ible supply light, but the firmness with which spots were held and the strong demand for the better grades offset all other influences. On the closing session July bulged 102 points on short covering.
 The outlook is obscure this week be- cause of conflicting features as the re- suit of the situation in spots and the excellence of crop prospects. A further demand for the actual stuff will create a demand for July and many traders think strength in the old crop will be reflected by now crop months to con siderable extent, owing to the wide dis counts on the latter. On the other hand, continued favorable weather will make it certain that the June condition report from the government will be very high, state of affairs which bear ish traders believe would have to be discounted in the end by lower mar ket, irrespective of any temporary pressure to buy spots.

METALS

New York, June 16.-The supply of steel for indirect government requirements is being scaled in order of preference. Re- sponsibility to consumers for nondeivery is shifted to the government and manu- lecturers of luxuries and other non- essentials will suffer for a time. About 4oLOOo tons of plates. shapes and bars for government freight cars have been placed, deliveries to begin this month unless they interfere with requirements for shipbulding. Some large orders for navy tankers have been placed and inquiries are in for structural steel for a ne wordnance plant and for railroad bridges and viaducts.
 Coke receipts are now sufficient and pig iron production continues steady, but is still inadequate. The furnaces accept little new business. but some iron has been placed in the east. In some in- stances the government has issued pri- ority orders, but it is said these will be limited and that the contractors will have to find their own iron.
 Lead continues to advance with light CT offerings and good consuming de- mand. At the close of the week. how- ever, there was a slight reaction, which left the price at 7$tc, New York. !. Spelter is also firmer and gradually advancing.
 There has been little demand for tin for several days. The spot price is s1c to 92c.
