Gulf The governing consideration in
making this adjustment is that it was
demonstrated that the former buying
price did not, of itself, attract sufficient
TOW OF wheat to the Gulf ports to serve
the commercial requirements of Grain
Corporation in the conduct of its export
trade. IL is now calculated that the /
new price will probably attract to the
Gulf sufficient flow of wheat for the /
proper conduct of the marketing oper-
ntions of the Grain Corporation withou |
the necessity of furnishing that wheat |
flow to the Gulf at higher expense from
other markets and with increased bur
den on transportation thereby. The
forecast of probable export service to
be rendered by ala the ports of the |
United States totals such large euanti- ]
ties that Il is necessary to call on the I
Gulf ports for large measure of SER
vice than before, SO that II Is addition
ally necessary To construct their price
for a flow calculated to serve this larger
proportion of the total export trade
In view of the doubt of our authority
to continue to absorb on 4 theoretical
two dollar minimum at Intemountam
points, we shall retire altogether from
that absorption. The new basis pro-
vides "A net minimum OF s1.964 at Inter
mountain points included in the new
rail rate and since the literal enforce
ment of the guarantee would only make
the $500 price at the named
points OF salt Lake City. Pocatello and
Great Falls. and without this new Gulf
netting st.se4 the producer
would be Obliged to deliver this wheat
at these named points at $500 the re-
suit is that the grower Is getting better
net return than under the literal appl-
cation OF the guarantee as formerly
construed.

CROPS IN SIGHT PUT CORN ON DOWNWARD.
 SLANT IN GRAIN PIT
Oats Lost Over One Cent, While Provisions List Was Unchanged to
 S5 Cents Off
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 24.-Prospeets of ma terial increase of the crop movement next week did good deal today to send the corn market down grade, Prices closed heavy at & 99s4c net lower with July s1627s e 1.6S, and Sep tember s156@1.56Is. Oats lost 1@ 11sc. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to S5c off.
 Most of the increase of arrivals of corn next week was expected from Iowa, where planting appeared to be nearer complete than in Illinois. Bear ish sentiment meanwhile was further intensified by excellent weather con- ditions and by advices that Re gov ernment was reselling cereal goods which had been bought for export, but which would not no~ be shipped.
 Assertions that exporters were un- burdening pressed the oats market.
 Provisions fell with grain and as a result of word that the last relief ship of the food administration was being loaded and that the stock of packing house products in this country was still the largest ever known.

New York, May 24.-Cotton goods markets have continued very strong. Prices have advanced so rapidly that many selling agents have withdraMn all quotations to await more settled condition. The rise in gray cloths had been very sharp. Jobbers have been seeking to buy late into the fall, while several of the manufacturing and con verting trades have offered to buy to the end of the year Mills conceded a wage advance of 15 per cent to be- come effective June ?.
 Prints and percales have been with drawn from sale by the largest pro- ducers after large sales were made at the last high prices.

New Orleans Cotton.


 New Orleans, May 24.-The heaviest kind of buying was felt by the cotton market today from the opening prac- tically to the close. Wet weather in the belt and the continued expansion of busi- ness in the spot department were the main influences back of the advance. At the highest the trading months were 94 to 1a7 points up and the close was firm at net advance for the session of 80 to 57 points.
 The new crop months were stronger than the old because of the fear felt of the effects of continued rains in the belt January was the strongest month on the boards, while July showed the smallest gains, trading up to 30.74c. October sold as high as 29. 75c. representing discount of less than cent a pound on the new crop. Spots were marked up q points to 3O.75c for middling.
 The weather map noted much rain in tie western half of the cotton region, with the wet weather extending into the northern portions of the eastern belt This started the buying wave and the demand increased on private messages from Texas telling of the heaviest rains in three years. The forecast of gener- ally wet weather for the eastern belt caused further firmness, while through out the session reports of a large spot business at mounting prices in the in terior had their influence on values.

EXCITED ADVANCE
 CAUSED BY RAINS IN

 Friday
By Assnciafed Prns.

New York, May 24-Reports oi heavy general rains in Texas and parts of the central belt caused very ac- tive and excited advance in the cotton market this morning. For the first time this season the trade seemed tc be seriously alarmed over the new crop outlook owing to the continued wet weather, and there has been no more general buying movement since the beginning of the present bull market New crop deliveries were relativly strong with October contracts selling up to 30.45c or Al points above the close of Friday and GIT points above the. recent low level. That delivery closed at 30.S5 with the general list li2 points.
 The market was excited from the start. first prices being Is to so points higher on the unfavorable showing of the weather map. The buying became more excited and general after the pub licat ton of the forecast for further rains and heavy realizing sales were readily absorbed on the advance which extended to S1.10c for July and soc fol December, or 1eS to 146 points above Fridays closing figures.
 The close was a few points off from the best under profit taking, but there were a good many bullsh predictions around the ring notwithstanding the extent and rapidity of recent advances. It was believed that these latest rains were in time to affect the end-May condition figures which are to be made up as of tomorrows date and put on June 2, and local buyers looked fo sensational developments in Liverpool on Monday should there be further rains over Sunday.
 The continued strength and activity of the goods market and the big spot sales officially reported in the lead . ing southern markets at advancing prices, contributed to the advance, but the most prominent factor was the fear of unfavorable new crop developments The government sale of linters at tracted a good deal of attention, but was not considered an immediate fac tor in the market.

Automobile Stocks Take Precedence Over Steel and Equipment Crowd

Eev York. May 24.-~The confident view expressed by leaders of industry found further reflection in today's brief but animated stock market ses- sion.
 Steels and equipments were expect ed tc lead on Ebert F. Gary's hore- ful survey of trade conditions, but those issues soon gave precedence to the automobile division.
 Stutz. Studebaker, Chandler, Pierce Arrow. Maxwell and General Motors, also Stromberg CalDureter, United States Rubber, Ajax Rubber and Kelly Sprin gtield Tire were the strongest features at net gains of 21s to 6la points. High-grade rdiis were in pro- cess of accumulation, particularly Atchisen, Chicago Northwestern, Nor folk and Western and Chesapeake and Ohio, but minor transportat ations made only nominal gains.
 Tobacco and kindred shares were featured by American Snuff, Tobac- co Products, American Tobacco and united Cigars and Coapers derived dd- ditienal benefit from the prospect of higher prices for the refined metal
 ShlpplngS and oils were uncertain at best and closed mainly at losses, Royal Dutch issues and Mexican Petroleum denoting steady pressure.
 On its further rise of fraction to le7k United States Steel established new maximum for the year, some as- sociated issues gaining 1 to points
 The interesting item of the bank statement was the large contraction of SlSS,000,0G0 in actual loans and dis counts, excess reserves adding III od- erately to last weeks increase.
