Over Campbell & Co.'s Wire

New Orleans, June Se.-Liverpool came a few points better than due and the weather showed rains in southern Texas parts of Arkansas and in the Memphis district. Our market opened about un- changed from Saturdays close. and after taking a little selling immediately ad- vanced some 24 points higher, which met a wave of liquidation by satisfied longs, which sent October down to 32.4lc, which proved to be the low of the day, finally colsing at 33.27c for October, or 57 points up from Saturdays close.
 We continue to receive bad reports from our friends throughout Texas, Ok lahoma, Arkansas. Mississippi and Ala bama of too much rain and boil weevils. We think it well to watch the weather closely, as we are now running into the most critical month for cotton growth and if we do not have some relief soon, we are likely to see very much higher prices. but for the time being we would prefer our friends to assume an even po- siton in the makret pending the govern ment report, which is due tomorrow morning at 10.
 Liverpool is due to come tomorrow + to 20 ponts advance.-W. E. Campbell & Co.,

New Orleans June 30.-While there was much realizing on the long side of the market today it's effect on values was offset by the continued rainy weather in the belt, increasing complaints of boil weevil damage and more bullish expec- ations then ever regarding the govern nent crop reports of tomorrow. In the ,arly trading, after an initial advance of to A points, prices fell until they were 29 to S2 points under the close of saturday. Here the market got it's real stride and commenced to rise, recover .ng all the decline and going to a net advance which constantly was widened Until late ha the session the trading months were 30 to 55 points over the last prices of last week.
 The government reports of tomorrow Ire due at 10 o'clock New Orleans time. They will consist of statistics on condi ion. acreage and yield, that is the yield indicated by the acreage and condition figures. Of 10 private bureau reports on
 condition, the average is 701. the highest being 7S.3 and the lowest 6S.2. Shepard X lSluck,

Over Stewart's Wire

New Orleans, June 30.-Liverpool showed The full decline due and eased further during the last hour. Spot prices 70 down. This suggests that the strike sit nation has not been entirely removed yet.
 The market opened about unchanged, talled 20 points on buying on weather, the Picayune report and forecast for bullish bureau tomorrow, but u broke down soon sharply 50 points on liquidation However, the bullish features above mention. and the fact that there has been good deal of liquidation since Thursday, and that the bureau tomorrow is liable to suggest to the world another small crop, developed stronger buying on the break and rallied prices again to opening figures.
 Unless the government condition ana crop estimate are much lower than the general expectation. which is found os'' and crop around il, 100000 bales - the weather conditions will be the deciding factor in the trading and good weather would enhance a disposition to realize.
 Spots are unchanged; middiing B cents; sales 1857 bales.
 Interior spot markets are unchanged to 40 higher; moderate business done. Gov- ernment report at 10 a. m. John F. Clark & Co.

 New Orleans, June 30-Continued wei weather in the belt and expectations Of unfavorable crop statistics from the gov ernment in the pending bureau reports put cotton higher today after a period ot unsettled trading in the early session While considerable liquidation, of a pre- bureau character, came upon the market. it was said. except for short time, easily absorbed so that late in the day price were 35 to 66 points net higher and the close was at net gains of 32 to 52 points.

 Around the opening prices were to "A points up on the weather map, after which there was a reaction under. real izng, which carried prices off until they were % to s2 points under last week close Uncertainty over Manchester la bor troubles had something to do with this easiness.

WALL STREET WAS IN POOR FRAME OF MIND WITH TRADING DULL
Call Loans Opened at 6 to 6K Per Cent, Rising Later to 8 for Mixed and 10
 for Industrials
By Associated Press

New York, June 30.-Trading in stocks today was occasionally remi- niscent of the dullness and hesitation which in pre-war times marked the advent of the new fiscal year and it's attendant uncertainties.
 Despite last weeks better bank statement, call money opened at to 615 per cent, rising later to per cent for mixed loans and 10 per cent for all industrials, indicating increased discrimination against the latter form of collateral
 The new order created by the Yer sailles treaty found no very clear re- flection in the course of quoted values, aside from the sustained strength Of shares which have assumed fixed place among so-called peace and in- dustrials.
 General news embraced many May statements of earnings by secondary railroads, these in the main compar- ing very favorably with the preceding month. Transportations shared only moderately in the days movements, however, except Texas and Pacific, which was again responsive to sub- stantial accumulation.
 Rubber issues related to the motor division extended last Saturday S gains, Ajax, Keystone. Kelly-Spring field and United States Rubber record- ing gross advances of to points, but motors were re.atively backward.
 Food shares came next in specula- tive favor, Wilson Packing, Jewel Tea and Corn Products rising to points with affiliated issues. notably Amer ican Can and Continental Can.
 Baldwin and American Locomotives, Central Foundry common and pre- ferred. Central Leather, Hide ard Leather preferred. American Woolen American Express and International Paper were conspicuous among the other strong stocks.
 Bonds. issuing Liberty and genera issues. were inclined to ease fraction ally. Total sales, par value aggre- gated s10S0oo00 Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

 FEDERAL REPORT
General List Closed Steady at a Net Advance of 2S to 50 Points Over
 Saturday
By Associated Press

New York, June 3O.-The cotton mar
 ket was unusually quiet for the day pre-
 ceding an important government report and showed a generally steady tone al
 though it seemed that traders had pre-
 viously prepared for very low condi-
 ton figure tomorrow. After selling off
 from s3.5oc to 3S.0Sc. October advanced
 to 33.75c in the late trading and closed
 at 8 Use, with the general list closing
 steady at a net advance of 2S to 5e points
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of6 to 24 points in response to a disappointing weather map and another private crop report making the condition only 6S.2. Liverpool, however, was rela lively weak with cable advices indicat Ing a continuance of the Lancashire strike and prices here eased off shortly after the call under realizing for over the government report. The forecast for the weather in the eastern belt increased the disposition to take profits in longs, and there was some selling on the bullish expectations tomor- row. Offerings were well absorbed on decline to 32 95c for December or about 15 to 25 points net lower, and the mar ket then turned steady on the continued bullish character of the crop news and trade buying. The failure of liquidation l to become more active on the decline was probably a disappointment to early sellers for a reaction, and there was GOV ering on the afternoon advance to B SIC | for December and 8 soc for July, or 3 | to 5S points above last nights closing fig ures Ten private condition reports have been issued ranging from S.2 to B B and averaging 7o.1, and the average of % estimates by members of the exchange was 692 The government report tomor- row will compare with S5.S last year and SO3 the 10-year average.

Preachers-Plus

Ralph E, Diffendorfer in World Outlook
 The modern preacher has to be more than a good talker. If he lives in the city slums, he must understand industrial conditions, be able to help his people se- cure work at living wage under health full conditions. If he is in lumber camp, he must be able to render first aid in time of accident or sudden illness. If he is in factory town, he must understand the problems between labor and capital and be able to advise impartially and wisely.
 All this means work and extensive train- ing. It puts preaching in a class with any other specialized trade. The day has passed when any man who has good
 ideas and is eloquent in his expression of them, is fitted for all types of relig ous ministry.
 It means that the strongest and finest men and women of America are needed for the job of carrying on for the church. Social service makes a strong appeal to youth. Youth. with it's accompanying energy and enthusiasm is what the church needs.

Today's Church

Ralph E. Diffendorfer in World Outlook
 The. church needs to be 100 per cent ef- ficient If 1t is to hold it's own in mod ern life. it must meet face to face the conditions-all the conditions-of the life of today The time is past when the church could be thing apart from the everyday life of the people. It must all ways be a place for prayer and worship. But it must also be a clearing house for every problem and perplexity which com munities or individuals can know. The church of today must find nothing too commonplace. nothing too secular to en- gage it's attention. Clean hands and a pure heart were linked together by the Psalmist and after all these centuries, the church is realizing that it's business is with one as with the other.
