CORN REACHES TOP !. PRICES FOR SEASON IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Oats, on Other Hand, Went Down, While Provisions Were Unchanged to
 25c Higher
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 19.-It was a case of shorts bidding up the market on them selves t6day in the corn trade Never theless, new top prices for the season were reached. The close was firm, B ( to 1% c net higher, with July S1.S10 1.S1A and September s174A @174h. Oats finished 5sc to 2sc down and provisions unchanged to 25c higher.
 Although at the-opening and again at midday the corn market acted stale and showed tendency to sag under scattered realizing by holders, nerv- ousness on the part of shorts ruled values during most of the session. Moderate commission house buying on country account proved sufficient time after time to start shorts bidding against each other.
 Enforcement of the 100000 bushel limit on trading was an evident handi- cap on the bears. Besides attention remained forcused to considerable ex- tent on estimates that planted acre. age had been greatly reduced. whereas carry stocks were likewise very low
 Reports of improved crop conditions made the oats market easy Receirts were more liberal than of late.
 Provisions took an upward swing with corn At first, however. there was some depression as a result of a severe break in hog quotations and swing to minor labor difficulties u+ the stock yard here

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, June 19.-Lacking telling factor of railroad buying to roundsout market, demand for iron and steel is spreading to the extent that occasions widespread encouragement. Were transportation interests free to add their normal need to present moving tonnage, it is not difficult to picture the effect on the general situation that rrobably would result With this prin- cipal exception, buyers in growing number of lines continue to provide more confidence for their programmes covering the next three to six months Mill specifications are being received on a rising scale that warrants some increase in operations. Movement of importance to languishing plate mills is pressure being brought to bear on Washington this week by leading shipbuilders for final declaration re- garding government ship contracts. Yards have various opportunities to book private contracts, some of which are from foreign shipping interests. and they want to know to what extent their capacity may be freed of gov ernment requirements to enable tn sm to accept these. Some private con t-acting already has been done, includ- ing three merchant boats to Bethlehem
 
 and six. tankers to other yards.
 Structural work is keeping up well, both as 10 rev inquiries and lettings, the leading award being~13.000 tons for General Motors company's office building in Detroit Chicago reports i largest tonnage of any recent week l for the district. made up of miscel- 1 laneous jobs. There have been good sized lettings in Cleveland and New York districts. Genuine buying move ment in foundry and malleable pig | iron is being carried forward. In some districts bookings of the past , week were the heaviest yet entered. Cleveland interests sold probably 100, 900 tons. Buffalo an equal amount, New York about 5o.ooo tons, Pitts burg 25,oo0 tons and Chicago round tonnage Covering of large buyers to January 1 materially helped to swell 1 tonnage. Purchases of American Radi- ator company are put at about 50.0on tons, which went mainly to Buffalo | furnaces. At Buffalo. where freights have beef absorbed freely by furnaces, | the effect of recent bookings have been to cause two makers to move I back to regular schedule. Prepara- tions are being made in various dis tricts to increase product of steel making. Iron remains singular1y in- active.-The Iron Trade Review.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton.
By Associated Press

New Orleans, June 19.-Various rumors and reports tending to confirm the i'm pression that Germany would sign the peace~treaty put cotton strongly higher today, December. the strongest month. standing almost BIO bale up when the market was at it's best. Much of the buying was said to be for outside inter- ests. but the trade appeared to be buying
 in a large way and shorts covered in volume.
 In the early trading the unsatisfactory weather conditions over the belt put values up to the extent of 27 to 36 points but room traders were heavy sellers at the rise. being in the position of playing for a reaction, and the upward movement was checked. For while rather sof' |tone prevailed and the advance was re- duced to only to Il points. Here the real buying of the day started and IL continued until nearly the close. Late Tn the day the trading months were 1e2 to 195 points over yesterdays close, July rising to 32.S5. Last prices showed net Igains of 115 to 143 points.
 Spots were marked up "a points to 32l3 for rniddling Heavy exports during the day helped give the market it's firmness, the total movement amounting to e1'sll | bales. Galveston alone cleared 6o,lSz bales.

 report while greater confidence that
 Germany would sign the peace treaty was considered responsible for active Wall street buying.
 There was also buying on the larger exports and bullish spot advances were accompanied by renewed demand from trade sources, although local brokers at- tributed much of the support to cover ing. The market opened steedy at an advance of F to 8 points onf overnight buying orders, and in response to higher Liverpool cables. There was enough real izing to cause some irregularity right after the call but the market firrned up right after the publication of the west ern belt forecast for showers and some of the local map readers were predicting rain for Texas.
 Reports that advices had been received
 from Copenhagen indicating that promi- nent German papers were advising the government to sign the peace terms sermed to stimulate buying during the afternon, and the advance extended t~ l g. 4oc for July and 31.72c for December in the late trading This made net gain of 1S5 to 161 points on the active months, and the close was a few points off from the best under realizing.

STOCK TRADING WAS EXIRE MELY DULL DURING YESTERDAY
Call Loans Opened at 6 Per Cent, But Later Based Off, to 5 on Abundant
 Supply
B. Associated Prssa

F, Associated Prsss
 New York, June 19.-Stocks were less responsive today to the passing of the money crisis and trading, while we'll over the million-share mark, was smaller in volume and scope, the market fre- qpently lapsing into periods of absolute dullness
 Call loans opened at per cent, the lowest initial quotation since last Fri day, later easing to 5 per cent on an abundant supply. Offerings from local sources were supplemented by an in- flow of interior funds, but time money remained firm.
 Observers of monetary conditions pre- dict further shading of rates, including long maturities by the mid-year, when large sums will be available through heavy interest and dividend disburse- ments.
 News bearing on security values was mainly of domestic origin, advances from various centers confirming recent re- ports respecting favorable crop pros poets, industrial progress and general trade expansion
 The absence of excited dealings and wild fluctuations in oils, motors and other speculative favorites was the most conspicuous feature of the session, those issues ruling firm to strong until the AtifoA Alouf "iiCh PiOSSotS v P"AsA <. va. professional quarters, effected a short reaction.
 The reversal extended to other proni- nent shares in more moderate degree, but food, fertilizer and chemical issues pur- sued contrary course, scoring gross gains of ? to points.
 Rails, shippings and metals were also carried down by the setback towards the close the market ending with an irregular undertone.
 Trading in bonds was comparatively light and restricted but steady for the most part Total sales par value aggre- gated $9, ,35o,00o.
