New Orleans Cotton
RY Assoclated Press


 New Orleans, June 1S.-Declines in the early trading were succeeded by advances during the second half of the session in cotton today. The revision of spot quo tations interested the trade more than the heaviest trading, buyers taking hold on the theory that the contract had been made more valuable and that the posi- ton of July had been strengthened. The revision widened the differences by 50 points On the two lowest tenderaole grades, leaving all other grades unchang- ed. middling being quoted at 3l.Ss. Following this contracts moved up 10 the highest levels of the day where July traded at 31.30 and the market stood at net advance of fifteen to 23 points. The close was z to IS points S2~ net. Around the opening and for some time after moderately heavy selling was feit. It was based on improved weather over the greater part of the belt and pros- poets that 1t would continue in the im- mediate future. The market fell off un- til the trading months were at net losses oe 35 to 40 points. The weekly reports at 10 o'clock did not have much of any effect, either way, their favorable and unfavorable features about balancing. Toward the middle of the day. the ru- nor that Germany would sign the peace treaty caused quick upturn which wiped out all losses and put prices to points over yesterdays close. After hesitatins for a while another and stronger up- turn occurred and was still being felt on the close.

Cotton Review
By Associated Press


 Washington. June 1S-Weather condi- tions during the week ending yesterday were favorable for the advancement of cotton in most sections from Alabama and Tennessee eastward, but from the Mississippi valley westward continued cool weather and wet soil was detrimen- tai in many districts. according to the weekly weather and crop reporting bulle- tin of the department of agriculture.
 The week was most favorable for ad- vaneement of the crop in Arkansas, eS- cept in the southeastern portion. where it continued too wet. The crop deteriorated in the lower Mississippi valley and made little progress in Oklahoma. Some inn provement was reported from Texas ex- cept in the eastern and southeastern DOT tions, where heavy rains fell.
 Conditions were favorable for cultiva- tion in most central and eastern portions of the belt. but there was considerable complaint of grassy fields The condition Of the crop generally is satisfactory ir most localities from Alabama eastward but generally poor in most sections tC the westward.
 Weevils are numerous in northern Flor ida, and there were many complaints oi the pest in central and southern Alabama and localities in South Carolina and southern Texas.

DECLINES ARE FOLLOWED BY
 BRISK RALLIES

 Tuesday

New York, June 1s.--Early declines were
 followed by rallies in the cotton market
 today with October selling up from 2sc
 to o.46. and closing at sO 40, and with the
 general list closing very steady at net
 advance of ' to 1s points.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to 15 points with active months selling about 40 to 5S points net lower during the early trading, under re- | tnewed liquidation and scattering pressure , inspired by a better weather map and
 easier Liverpool cables Private advices attributed the decline in the English mar | tAet to Manchester selling on labor trou- bles, but if anything Liverpool was a buyer by balance here and the market turned steadier as soon as the first wave of selling subsided-

This combined with the bet l ter tone reported in the stock market probably led to covering on the after noon advance which carried July up from | 90. 4o to 31.10, and December from 2s.5S to S015, or about F to q points net higher l on the general list Later fluctuations were somewhat irregular but the close was within a few points of the best General business was comparatively quiet during the day, but brokers with Jap anese connections were reported buyers ot October on the early break and there was covering by brokers with Wall street connections on the afternoon advance. The weekly report of the weather bureau said crop conditions were generally sat- isfactory in eastern belt sections, but gen. orally poor in the west

Coffee Market

New York, June 1S-The market for coffee futures was active and excited heavier than on any previous day since the opening of the exchange last De- cember, while there was an extreme ad - vance of about 60 to 75 points in prices This was due to the sensational strength or the futures markets at Santos. Spe- cial cables being received during the day showing an advance of 725 to 775 reis rom last nights closing figures. The local market opened at an advance of Is to g points and sold up to soc for July, 2050c for December and 20.4 40c for March, during the early afternoon. There was heavy covering and trade or specula- uve buying on the advance to new high records. but there was also a good deal of realizing by old longs and the close showed reactions of 15 to 30 points from the best. although last prices still showed gains of 40 to 46 points for the day.

CORN ACREAGE OFF MILLIONS OF ACRES
 0N LATEST FIGURES
Staple Jumps to Record Quotations as Estimates
 of Crop Continue to Come In
By Ameelst,d Pres.

Chicago, June 1S.-Estimates that the planted corn land in the eight largest states had been reduced in extent this year about s,O0O0o0 acres, made all deliv- cries of corn jump today to the highest prices yet this season. The market closed strong at 25s to A net gain, with July 1.791z to 1.79A and September L72st to IFS Oats finished 13s to 1A up. In pro- visions the outcome ranged from 6oc de- cline to rise of 21zc.
 Bullish sentiment ruled the corn market as soon as traders understood that the current estimates meant planted acreage this year would be the smallest since 1909. Ideal weather had at first led to a dip in values, but this influence was almost immediately forgotten Assertions on the part of bear leaders were also in vain that pending the government report July 1 the S,o00,0 acre reduction estimate. equal to the entire acreage of Iowa, was too daring to be trusted.
 Despite considerable profit taking the reactions from the top prices of the day were relatively slight.
 Fear of crop damage gave some tnde- pendent strength to oats. AS in corn trade was on large scale.
 Provisions were weak, owing to sharp declines in the value of hogs Besides foreign news concerning lard was bear iSh

Over ". I. phelts & Co.'S Wire

New Orleans, June 1S.-Early de- clines in the cotton market today were not well maintained. latent strength being displayed which on several occa- sions caught the short side unawares. Opening lower, in the face of good cables, the market fell off until 1t showed net declines of 35 to 40 points. From this there was a quick recovery and advance until prices were to 8 points Nhigher than yesterdays close. After hesitating while the net gain was widened to to IS points.
 Offerings were liberal in the early trading because of the greatly iln- proved weather map, no great amount of rain falling anywhere in the belt, and the forecast which predicted con- tinued dry weather over the greater portion of the cotton region. The weekly reports from the government were favorable for the eastern belt but unfavorable for the central and western portions. Little trading. either way. resulted from them. Toward the middle of the session there was a sharp upturn on the rumor that Ger many was certain to sign the peace treaty and another upturn followed the spot revision, which swidened the diff ference on the two lowest tenderable grades by 50 points, thereby increas- ing the value of the contract.
 Sentiment is more mixed than 1t has been. If the weather continues to im- prove a strong character of selling will arise, but, on the other hand, should European politics take favorable turn the long side would hall it as a reconstructive event-Shepherd & Gluck

always quiet but showing a better un- dertone than for some days. While the advance from the low point caused by the decline abroad was slow. it was based on the anticipation of demand upon the signing of peace. All felt that the treaty would be signed on time with out doubt, despite the newspaper dis patches. Weather conditions are some what better with no effect upon the up- ward movement Liverpool advices were that the threatened strike in Lancashire would be settled.

R. D. Burge--s Letter

Chicago, June 1S-New high levels for the season were made for all deliveries. Lowest prices of the day were made early with a break of sSQ1Ac from the previous days close, but the market quickly developed an oversold condition, and with strong commission houses on the buying side in small lots the surplus was taken out of the pit and wave of short covering followed.
 This carried values up over cents from the early low and into new ground for the season. Sellers of offers were forced to protect themselves on the bulge. but there were numerous sharp reactions witnessed throughout the day. The sen- sational reduction of around 7,5O000O acres in the suggested acreage in the eight leading central states shown by the price current grain reporter sum- mary was the dominating influence. Weather reports were ideal for the proper development of the plant, but had no ef- feet in view of the prospective large loss in acreage Sample values were 1 to 4 cents higher with the basis somewhat firmer as compared with future.
 July gained 1Ec, September 1%, De- cember 17sc The latter made a new high level at 727sc. The receipts for the three days are 3o0.000 less than last week, and the shipments 10000 more Conditions favor keeping to the long side of this grain.
 Provisions were again lower, lard show ing the most weakness on rather free selling led by packers. The further sharp were the depressing factors. The action of corn stimulated a good share of the days buying.
 The hog market was quoted 40 to 50 cents lower; f.0O0 hogs estimated for to- morrow.-Clement, Curtis & Co.
