BETTER WEATHER IS CAUSE OF COTTON
 MAKING B|G SLUMP
Trade Buying Checked the Decline and Rallies Followed on the Covering
By Associated Press


 New York, June 6.-The market for cot ton showed renewed weakness today with all deliveries making new low ground for the movement owing to improved weather reports and less satisfactory advices from the goods trade. The market opened easy at decline of 26 to 49 points, owing ito weak Liverpool cables and the failure of the weather map to show as much rain as indicated by pri- vate reports late yesterday. Many of yesterdays late buyers were credited with selling on the decline which soon carried active months some 50 to 62 points net lower. There was trade buying around 2S.50 for October, which checked the decline and rallies of about 20 points followed on covering. The favorable forecasts and prospects for good weather over the weekend served to restrict buying otherwise, however, and the faiI- ure of demand to broaden was disap- pointment to some of the early buyers This led to a renewal of pressure and liquidation during the afternoon. Stop orders were uncovered on a scale down. ward with July selling off to S75 and Decemoer to zh40 or about I25 to l3I points net lower. Private reports were received from Texas claiming that with a week of the present weather the crop there would be in excellent condition all though farmers were now behind with their work. The quieter ruling of the goods market and reports that second hands were still offering supplies at con- sessions, helped to unsettle sentiment, al- though there were reports from Boston of an increased demand from spinners.
 There have been further alloeations of tonnage by the shipping board for June shipment.

RSSOctdIeu
 New Orleans, June 6.-The selling move ment in the cotton market gained new headway today and prices were carried off to new low levels for the week. The undertone was easy throughout the sea- son and the close was at the bottom, where the trading months showed net losses of IT to 132 points. Much better weather conditions in the belt were the main encouragement for the sellers. The opening was lower on poor cables and offering swel1ed by the dry and warm weather map. In the early trading prices lost 70 points on the weakest months.
 The appearance of liquidation late in the day was the signal for increased off, ferings for short account and the market became very active and very weak. July fell off to 2S.9S, which price compared with the spot quotation on middling of Si5o. Spots were lowered by 25 points.

R. D. Burgers Letter

New Orleans, June 6.-Easier cables than due and more favomhle weather in the interior influenced further liquidation and a lower market today. There is less demand for spots in the south and ir Liverpool, sales in the English market dropping to 4000 bales, with quotations 64 points down. Cotton goods markets are ruling rather irregular of late. Gray goods easier: finished materials higher.
 The government is receiving sealed bids. which will be opened on June 15, for 5.ooo.O00 yards of textiles. This sup DIV of goods will likely have tendency to relieve the shortage of textile supplies to some extent.
 Indications are for the continuance of better weather in the cotton region in the immediate future.
 Press advices from Paris are to the effect that hope is entertained there that the allied rejoinder to the German coun- ter proposals will be ready for presen- ation next Monday.
 It is understood the enemy will be given a period of five to six days in which to accept or reject the treaty, making it probable that Germany's de- cison will be made known not later than June If.
 Sresident Wilson is quoted as saying that he stands by his fl points while word comes ITOHl beIlili tHdt tiC 'Si mans will not sign unless the treaty is broadly amended.
 While it is possible for the market to work lower. in event of the continuance of good weather, we do not think the decline will go much further, as lower prices would probably cause a revival in the spot and trade demand Therefore, we favor buying on any further decline of importance, as the first sign of eli matic conditions becoming unfavorable again would likely lead to a renewal of general buying.
 Indications are that exports will be large in the near future, as there is z, large quantity of cotton on shipboard at gulf and south Atlantic ports awaiting clearance for Europe Recently three additional ships arrived at Galveston to load cotton and other commodities for Europe H. & B. Beer.
 Chicago, June 6-Selling of corn was general. as large traders were cleaning ont their lines in excess of POO, 900 bushels. the new rule going into effect tomorrow. The receipts were again large, and com pared with holiday last week, making total thus far in excess of three times last week. This has tendency to weaken cash market and induce selling. On further declines buying may be ex- pected.
 Oats were off from ssa7sc The cash demand is fairly good, but the visible and nearness of the new crop keeps s contant trade selling bearing the mar ket, and this will continue for sometime. The market will hardly be purchase unless the new crop is in sight when the pressure will be over.

tive demand is revealing past ultra con- SCI atism in ordering in shortages of merchandise in many lines. Especially Is this noted in retail lines, which have spurted under the stimulus of summer months. The only lack of favorable uni- foHmity is that noted in crop reports from the south, where continued rains are putting cotton furtEer in the grass. aad from the southwest where harvesting of bumper wheat crop is interfered with by the sams trouble.

THE GRAIN MARKETS

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Corn averaged lower in price today and gave evi dence that the buying side of the mar ket was unpopular as a result largely of agitation against the high cost oi living. Prices closed unsettled at IA C net decline to Ac advance with Sep tember S1.91 to $1.91A and December $1.52% to $1,53. Oats finished 9sc to 1c up and provisions varying from 55 cents decline to a rise of cents.
 Absence of demand rather than any aggressive disposition to sell charac- terized the corn market. Develop ments in the nation wide effort to re duce the outlay for food and for like personal necessities obtained much more general notice from the majority of traders than was the case with any other factor, but after yesterdays per sistent hammering down of corn val ues bears were inclined to eau tious.
 Seaboard buying tended to lift the oats market.
 Provisions were dull and weak for the same reason as corn. Advances in the hog market seemed to afford no stimulus.

 The volume of business dwindled al most to the smallest total of any full session in many weeks, sales amount ing to only 775,000 shares.
 Unlike previous days the opening was heavy, evidently as a direct re suit of pressure from the short inter. est, which centered mainly in steels and shares of belated groups.
