New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, June 11-During the cotton market stood at small declines, showing only narrow price movements and being steadied by continued crop complaints. chiefly in the form of re- ports of grassy fields and inadequate labor to clean them. continued spread of the boil weevil and abandonment or acreage, one private bureau statement being that abandonment was on the greatest scale ever known. The best weather prevailed over the belt, and the forecast indicated little change for the next 24 hours, but weather conditions encouraged surprisingly little selling. The market closed for the day at net losses of to 8 points.
 On the opening and for a short time after, the tendency was to sag under poor cables and favorable weather re- turns, but on a decline of 15 to 25 points the downward movement was checked and reaction set in which lasted until prices were ' joints higher to ? points lower than the close of yesterday. The market sagged again in the second half of the session, but only in a moderate way. Late in the day the tone was steadied by mill takngs for the week of 170, 900 bales of American cotton, against 125. GOO this week last year. A private bureau report on conditions of 65.S, show ing improvement for the half month Of only Is points, was construed bulliShly. A forecast of 900 bales as the con sumption in May in this country, against AS, GOO the same month last year, was also a supporting influence.

Industrial Alcohol American Linseed, American Woolen, Sumatra Tobacco, Retail Stores and United States Food Products.
 Extreme gains in this diversified list ranged from 2 to almost 10 points, Cru clble overlapping all and closing at net advance of almost s points. Of the important stocks, rails were the only ones to lag, few junior issues making moderate advances.
 The bond market derived little bene- fit from the strength of stocks and un- even tone ruling in most domestic groups. although Liberty issues were steady to firm. Total sales, par value, $11 500 0o0 Old v tied States bonds were unchanged

ABSENCE OF SELLING
 PRESSURE C A U SEES
 AN UPTURN IN CORN
Oats Follow Suit, While Provisions Were on See-saw, Unchanged
 to Seven Gents Lower

Chicago, June 1f.--Although absence of selling pressure led to a material upturn today in the value of corn, longs atterward unloaded freely and brought about a reaction. This close was un- settled at the same as yesterdays fin ish to 1 cent higher. Oats gained IA O G%c. In provisions the outcome was unchanged to 7c lower.
 Most of the demand on which the corn market advanced came from shorts who were uneasy at finding no signs of general bearish sentiment de- spite apparent likelihood of somewhat larger receipts next week. Bulls, how ever, contended that prevailing talk of an increased movement was based on agreements which various shippers had made to undertake their own car re- pairs. It was asserted also that next week would witness the end of the ex- pected greater run
 On the other hand. planting was re- ported as rapidly nearing completion, with a liberal acreage almost assured
 Chances of crop damage from hot weather tended to give independent strength to the oats market. and SO likewise, did continued meagerness of arrivals.
 Provisions were inclined to sag ow- ing to lack of any special demand
