new CORN TOP LEVEL ON
CROP SCARES IS FEATURE

CHICAGO. June 14.-Crop scares and
diminishing receipts have made corn
prices this week run up to new top
level for the season. Compared with
a week ago, values in the corn mar
ket this morning were 2Ac to SIC
higher, and oats showed gains Of liza
1ssc to 3Ac. At the same time pro-
visions had risen 42c to $500.
Bullish sentiment which developed
in the corn market was checked for
while by the re-establishment of
the zoe, 0,000-bushel limit as the maxi
mum Of trading for any single inter-
est. Federal reserve banking on
cials' efforts to restrain undue spec
ulation counted temporarily also as a
bearish influence. At this juncture,
however. dispuieting crop reports. to-
gether with evidence Of a falling of
in the arrival Of supplies. turned the
market strongly upgrade. Excessive
moisture formed one Of the principal
sources Of the anxiety that led to
many bullish estimates on crop losses,
and there was an unusual broaden
ing out OF demands. which was fur
ther stimulated by a nearly continu-
Gus ascent Of the hog market.
Uneasiness over the crop outlook
stirred up activity and strength in
oats, as well as in corn.
High-price records were broken
again and again by lard. Other pro-
visions mounted swiftly, too, with
cereals and hogs.

MONETARY CONDITION IS
WEEKS TRADING FACTOR

NEW YORK. June 14.-The govern
ing influence on trading on the stock
exchange this week was the none
tary situation. The Federal Reserve
Boards inquiry to member banks as
to the purposes for which loans were
being made, this action being accom-
panied by the information that it
was purposed to stabilize the specu-
,a.lve ,sa,; situation. provoked heavy
liquidation on Tuesday. and on each
succeeding day there was a rise in
call money rates. serving further to
oepress prices, which receded from
10 30 points among those specialties
which had for long time been lead
ers OF the advance. notably oils. ship
pings and motors. The decline was
influenced in part by the belief that
the speculation on the long side had
been overextended and that the mar
ket was ripe for a downward re-
action from the recent high levels.
ana there was much of realizing and
professional short sellings.
After the market had adjusted itself
somewhat to the new situation there
was decidedly vigorous rallyinR for
a time. special developments in con-
nectton with various stocks, such as
tooaccos, steels and coppers. becom-
ing powerful levers in reviving BULL
ish interest. But the upturn was not
maintained in the face of new in
huences. including the postponement
OF the Rock Island deferred dividends:
repeated rises in call money rates,
which on Friday touched IL per cent,
a new righ record for the year; the
decreases in steel tonnage figures
and the removal of the governments
embargo on gold.
This last factor and the week end
payments of the federal income taxes
combined to restrict money supplies
which might have been available for
loans, and the week closed with prices
on the down swing.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE cotton
market was quiet today, the volume of
business being smaller probably than On
any previous Saturday for more than "a
month. Prices consequently responded
readily to orders either way and an
early rally was followed by declines in
the late trading. which were probably
influenced to some extent by the rather
unsettled tone Of the stock market and
nervousness over call money rates. Oc-
tober sold of from SO to $3.50 and
closed at 3058. with the general list
closing steady at net decline of IA to
40 points.
o, The market opened at decline of to
2! points. with active months selling
about 20 to Is points net lower right
after the call In response to a favora BILE
weather map. rather than a bearish
view Of the week end figures and the
census report showing domestic mill
consumption Of 1879 bales for May,
against 575.sS2 bales last year. This
report, however, was about in line with
expectations. and the market stiffened
covering and little trade buying.
Reports OF a continued good retail de-
mand for goods may have encouraged
tho advance. but buying orders were
supplied on a scale up from 31lO to
31.40 for July and from 30.40 to 30.65 for
December. Prices then eased OF under
renewed liquidation. with July selling
on to 81 .05 and December to 1920 in the
late trading.
Reports from the cotton goods trade
indicated a smaller business at first
hand. as buyers were securing supplies
elsewhere at lower prices. Reports from
Manchester said that goods were being
sold there for shipment to the occupied
portions of Germany.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE trade
reviews Of the week reflect a con-
tinuation Of the healthy tone report
ed in other recent weeks. The delay
In getting the peace treaty signed is
said to have caused some deferring
in important commitments, but gen.
eral business Is moving well and
there are signs that it will continue
to do so. In commenting on the
situation. Dun's Review says, in part:
Neither labor controversies nor
foreign political uncertainties have
caused deviation from the forward
trend of business. and the con-
structfve elements in the situation,
which have undergone no essential
weakening. foreshadow sustained ex-
pansion. Where seasonal influences,
inventorying. impose restraint on op-
erations. the markets are now rather
quieter. but nothing suggests lasting
abatement Of activities and many
more points of gain than Of loss are
still apparent. The commercial re-
covery. in fact. has recently been
more rapid and far-reachinR than
seems to be generally realized, and
the lifting Of the embargo on gold
exports from this country, followed
Immediately by shipments of the
metal to South America, is another
step in the elimination of artificial
restrictions and Is significant Of the
movement toward restoration Of nor
NAL economic conditions.
While the vexing delay in the
actual adoption Of the peace treaty
remains an obstacle to a full measure
of progress. less is heard Of the de-
ferring Of important commitment on
this account as consumers needs de-
velop more urgency and buyers see
more clearly that further price re-
sition to anticipate future require
ments is spreading in many quarters"
Bradstreet's review OF tho week
says:
prevail in wholesale and retail trade.
ity is more noticeable in retail lines.
especially those supplying the de-
mand for lighter wearing apparel,
mems and women's furnishings. mill
linery. hats and shoes. which has
been further stimulated by warmer
weather. From a number of sections
reports continue to come that sup
plies Of needed merchandise are light,
an indication Of past conservatism
In ordering induced by authorizations
of lowered prices. This disposition is
now apparently less in evidence and
orders are given more freely.
"Distributive trade displays a freer
tendency and an enlargement in vol
ume. Manufacturers In many Sec
tions are reported as working to ca
pacity. and in most places as active
in filing orders. Makers and sellers
of footwear are meeting an active
demand. and leather prices are firm,
with the prospect OF advances. Build
ing activity is reflected In an in
creased demand for lumber and other
materials. including hardware"
