New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton


 New Orleans, June 4.-Heavy selling which started on the opening sent cotton down for decline of about eight dollars bale today. There were no new devel- opments locally to explain the selling movement, which was almost altogether based on the decline of yesterday in the New York market and the weakness in Liverpool in the early hours today.
 The opening was lower in the face of unfavorable weather conditions in the belt, much rain in the eastern portions and very low temperatures and even snow in the western, and the initial de- cline persisted until it amounted to ll2 to 11s points. Around 10 o'clock and the time of the weekly crop report, there was pause in the downward movement but immediately after bearish traders claimed that the returns from the belt were not as favorable as expected although they talked of. deterioration in several states and reported poor progress generally. The decline was widened to 152 to 161 points before recoveries of any consequence oc- cured. July sold down to So.1S.
 Shorts took profits in the afternoon and brought about recoveries of 40 to 50 points. Last prices were at net declines of 96 to 116 points Spots were marked off 50 points to s2 cents for middling.

bULL|SH FACTORS HAVE EBEENOFFSET
 IN CORN MARKET
Oats Finished Unchanged To 34c Down, While Pro- visions Were 33c Up
 To 10c Down
By Associated Press s-

Chica go, June 4.-Evidence mani fested itself today that a majority of corn traders were disposed to assume for the time being that the market had more than discounted all bullish factors. Prices closed weak &c to 1Ac net lower. with July s1.7o1a Q 1.70% and September $16SB @161L Oats finished unchanged to B down and provisions varying from S5c de- cline to 10c advance.
 It was apparent from the outset that the buying side of the corn market had lost the energy which of late had been so noticeable. For the first time in several days rivalry for supplies was lacking on the part of industries and shippers. Whether the transient tightening of the money market yet had been material bearish influence as tc grain seemed an open question, but there was no doubt at all that many, commission houses were giving patrons advice to realize profits on holdings and to await new develop ments before investing further. The various small rallies which took place were ascribed to short covering and to news that 100000 bushels of oats had been bought for export.
 Increased rural offerings of oats had bearish effect that was not alto gether overcome by the liberal export business.
 Provisions averaged lower with grain

South American Opportunities

From Forbes Magazine.
 Few countries in the world offer bet ter prospects for cattle farming and for the carrying on of the meat packing in dustry than Brazil Those who have seen the enormous and wonderful cattle ranges of Rio Grande do Sul and other states of the republic cannot but be enthusiastic over the outlook for the future in this field of enterprise. Ameri- can interests have realized the oppor- tunities existing and have taken a lead- ing position in developing them. Some of the American companies that have en- tered the field have embarked in the manufacture of all kinds of by-products of the beef and have equipped their plants to handle very large amount of business.
 Mining is today and will for many years continue to be the principal source of wealth in Chile. Almost every known lie, and many of these are mined on a large scale. Chilean mining laws are liberal and all nationalities have the right to acquire claims. The general rights include the use of as much land as is necessary for the exploitation and survey of the mine. the erection of all necessary buildings, the laying out of roads and trails the use of necessary water and timberland.

The Cotton Outlook

Washington, June 4.-There was con- tinued unfavorable weather for cotton in most districts of the belt during the week ending Tuesday, the weather bu- reau's national weather and crop bull letin today announced.
 The rainfall was rather heavy in the central and southeastern portions of the cotton belt" says the bulletin, "and also in some western localities. The tempera- ture for the week as whole averaged below the normal except in the Caro- linas and Tennessee, the week being especially cool in Oklahoma and Texas.
 ''Conditions were rather favorable for cotton in the Carolinas and Florida, and the crop made satisfactory progress in most localities in those states; else where, however, the continued rainfall and wet soil were unfavorable for cultivation and growth.
 The condition of cotton continues satisfactory in Georgia, but it is de- teriorating from lack of cultivation and grassy fields. Progress during the week was poor generally in Ala bama and Mis- sissippi where little opportunity was af- forded for much needed cultivation.
 Grass is becoming serious in Louis jana and eastern Arkansas, but con- ditions are more satisfactory in the southwestern portion of the latter state The soil continued too wet for culti- vation in Oklahoma. where cotton made generally poor progress; the stand and condition are satisfactory in the south eastern portion of that state, but gen erally very poor elsewhere.
 Cotton made little progress in Texas during the week on account of wet soil and grassy fields. and chopping and replanting were delayed, but insects show less activity

MOVEMENT IS RENEWED AGAIN
 IN COTTON MARKET
General List Closed Steady At a Net Decline of 15 To 63 Points Under
 Tuesday
By Associated Press

New York June 4.--There was re- newal of yesterdays selling movement in the cotton market and a further sharp break in prices during today's trading Offerings subsided after decline to % 15c for October or about SO points be- low last nights closing, however, and rallies followed with that delivery clos nig at 2e.5oc and with the general list closing steady at a net decline of 45 to 64 points.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 15 to 2S points under overnight selling orders and in response to weak Liverpool cables. The weather map showed further rains in eastern belt sec tions and the weekly report of the wealth CT bureau was quite as bullish as ex- pected. These features failed to inspire any fresh buying of consequence, fact which seemed to increase the nervous ness of the scattering long interest and the market broke very sharply later with July selling off to 3o.20c and December to 2S.65c or about n to 1l5 points net lower on the general list. This made a decline of 26o to $40 points from the high records of last week and after the ex- ecution of stop orders selling became less active Prospects for further show CTS in eastern and central sections of the belt with reports that trade inter ests had bought a good many of the contracts sold on the early decline and bullish southern spot advices helped the rally which followed. Closing prices showed recoveries of about 20 to 50 points frcm the lowest. Reports from the goods trade that in some cases second hands were offering print cloths at concessions may have contributed to the early de- cline, although a generally steady tone was reported in the goods market

MONEY MARKET HAS |READJUSTED ITSELF AMONG bIG TRADERS

 situation which was largely responsible
 for Tuesdays liquidation on the stock ex-
 change readjusted itself today, the call rate for loans rSceding to the customary six per cent and prices took an upturn | in a session less congested and excited. This development was regarded with sur | prise in some quarters where the feeling had been that the decline was to be re- Isumed.
 Special adverse influences today affect led certain stocks, such as Lehigh Valley and Gulf States Steel, which declined re- |spectively 3 and 101z points after the for mer company had reduced it's dividend basis from 10 to per cent and the steel company had passed its quarterly dis bursement. Gulf States Steel later recov- tered about one-third of it's loss. With money more abundant speculative interests purchased extensively, and mo- tors, oils, rails, steels, sugars and most of the specialties benefited with ad- vances ranging up to about six points.
 This upward tendency was halted mo- mentarily after announcement of the un- favorable dividend actions and prices re- ceded sharply in some instances but the advance was later resumed with consid- erable vigor. Reading was a striking fig ure in the final advance, gaining four points in connection with it's favorable annual report Wilson Packing also lm- proved to a material extent and various other popular specialties again made ra- pid progress. The average rise in special ties was from ? to points.
