GOVERNMENT OFFER :. . HAS bEAR|SH EFFECT.
Corn Closes Lower, While Oats Dropped Into Same Rut-PrOvisiOns Aver
 aged Higher.
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 16.-United States gov- ernment offers to sell wheat to domestic millers had an evident bearish effect at times today on corn, especially after re- ports attracted attention that the flour
 market was glutted. Prices closed un-
 settled, F cent net lower to 1c advance,
 with February $1.S31zq1. .SSSs and May s1. 2Sss@1. .2S1A. Oats finished Ac off to 14c
 up, and provisions varied from 7c de-
 cline to 75c gain.
 Corn started weak. then suddenly
 bulged, and later underwent setbacks anew. The downturn at the opening ap- peared to be due almost altogether to the action of the government regarding g
 wheat. Country offerings of corn, how ever. were so meager that bearish views concerning the significance of govern
 ment wheat policy seemed to be much more than offset. Nevertheless. toward the e4d of the session houses that had been Conspicuous buyers took energeti- cally to the selling side. In addition to excessive flour stocks, the late bearish factors included virtual settlement of the Argentine strike and the fact that the federal shipping board had released all requisiioned vessels except those in the service of the American army. Oats simply followd corn.
 Provisions averaged higher owing largely to firmness of the hog marke, and to the scantiness of the supply of ribs here.

New York Futures
New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, January 16.-The cotton market reacted strongly today on efforts of shorts to realize profits. good de- mand was felt on the opening and it continued practically throughout the ses- sion In the absence of any fresh sell ing of consequence, the ring found IL difficult to supply the inquiry. Highest levels were reached in the early afternoon when the trading months were 90 to 9S i points up The close was 59 to 5 up. Bullish claims of an oversold market seemed to have the effect of stimulating | overnight buying orders and rise or sS | a bale resulted in the early trading | Around 25c for March the market hesl-
 tated for while but the gain was finally l increased to about 50 points Minor re- l actions were caused by the rather un- | favorable trend of political reports bu' eventually March was sent to zo'ooc' l Aiding the market at the advance were
 reports of a drop of 25 points in ocean | freights and claims that spot holders Ill | the interior were as firm as ever mere were also predictions of a heavier ex
 port movement during the second hail l of January.

WALL ST. UNABLE TOHOLD GOOD Indications At Outset Were For Broader and Strong CT Market, But Market
 Took a Fall.

New York, January 16.-Trading in stocks today opened with Indications of a continuance of yesterdays broad CT and stronger tendencies, but this was not fulfilled, the market soon fall ing into it's dull and contracted rut of the past few weeks.
 Rails constituted the chief draw back, moderate, selling ensuing on re- ports from Washington which sug- gested further divergence of official opinion anent the future of the coun- try's transportation system.
 Incidentally, distilling or whisky issues," suffered a sharp reversal CO., incident with the news that Nebraska had gone dry, virtually insuring na- tion-wide adoption of the prohibition amendment.
 Substantial gains of the morning in such speculative shares as Mexican Pe- troleum and Texas Company were swept away later rails, however, mak- ing moderate recoveries, while ship pings, Pacific Mail excepted, developed marked strength.
 Independent steel derives its varia- ble gains from the more hopeful trade reports, which included a demand for some of the staple products from for eign sources, but United States Steel i retained it's recent characteristics nov ing within fractional limits. and clos ing at a slight gain.
 More consistent strength was shown by such specia1ities as Tobaccos and feathers, these being at their best in the final dealings, when the balance oi the list was inclined to yield.
 The only noteworthy change in the local monetary situation was a slight reduction of time rates, call loans re- maining firm.
 Liberty bonds, especially first and second As. were strong, and interna- tionals also hardened, but domestic rails and industrials eased. Total sales, par value, aggregated $10,S5o,000
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call
 The final prices of liberty bonds were 3ks, 9s.16; frsts convertible 4s 94; second As. 93.70; first convertible 4As, 96.20; second convertible A. s5.oe; third 4As s5.96; fourth 4As 95.

GOOD IMPROVEMENT
 IS SHOWN IN COTTON
General List Closed Steady At a Net Advance of 25 to 62 Points Over
 Wednesday
By Associated Press


 New York, January 16.-There was sharp advance in the cotton market to- | day on covering after the recent break of about Az cents per pound from ths high level of last month and on reports Of improvement in trade demand. The general list closed steady at a net ad- vance of 25 to 62 points
 The market opened firm at an advance of IS to 36 points on steady cables. re- ports of rather a more active demand for cotton goods, and bullish spot ad- vices from the south. Early offers were well absorbed and the market developed | a very firm tone during the middle Of the day with May selling at 23.S9c and July at 2295c or about S5 to S9 points net higher.
 | January was relatively easy owing to expectations of further tenders before l the end of the month, but after selling off to 9. .95c or about 10 points net lower, rallied with the rest of the list and sold up to 26.50c. These advances met re- newal of old long liquidation and in creased selling for southern account un- l der which there was sharp late after 1 noon break of about 90 to 54 points, but l there was good support and the final | tone was steady.
 1 People around the ring said there was more trade buying in evidence today than | for sometime past, but attributed the bulk of demand to covering on the strong CT technical position. The continued lm- provement in shipping conditions was also 1 considered a factor on the advance or | approximately one cent pound rom 1 the low levels of yesterday. l There was further discussion Of the l proposed amendment to the cotton fu- 1 lures law, but no definite change was reported in the situation and uncertainty was again expressed regarding it's chances l OF enactment within the near future and it's effect on contracts already outstand- 1 ing.

Over McReynolds & Julian's Wire

Responding to better cables than due bad weather in western half of the belt, more favorable southern spot advices and improvement in the export outlook, market scored a sharp advance today. According to press advices the united States shipping board has released ts owners all American ships except those engaged in army service, and press ca- b.es are to effect that British government
 will do likewise, on March l.
 While this action on the part Of the American and British governments will provide more tonnage for commercial purposes in the future. the south is clam bring for further reduction in ocean freight rates in order to permit larger shipments of the staple to Europe.
 The official ocean freight rates on cotton from New Orleans to Liverpool on com pressed is s6 per 100 pounds for January shipment. .While exports have been Of fair proportions under existing conditions, they would probably be larger if the ocean freight rate was lower The ocean freight rate to Liverpool compressed for February is s4.S0 per 100 pounds and 1t is for this reason that shippers are walt ing to obtain the benefits of the lower rate next month when exports will likely
 be heavier Inasmuch as the war is ac-
 tually over, and there being no risk from submarines now the rate quoted for next month is considered entirely too high.
 The south is eager for the government to either lower the rate further or stabii- ize same in order that exporters may know where they stand and be in d posi- tion to do business under more favorable circumstances than prevail now This feature of the situation has served to de- press the market for sometime past, as lit is unreasonable to suppose that ship pers will pay s6 per 1od pounds for ocean freight, when it will be obtainable for s4.8O next month except where there is the immediate need of cotton for ship' ment abroad Notwithstanding the higher rate for ocean freights, January shipment there is about twice as much cotton abroad ships at New Orleans and Galveston than there was at this time last year, indicating that exports during the last half of this month will be large which is a favorable omen for he future when ocean rates will be lower, perhaps stabilized at the lower rates.-Beer.
