New Orleans, June 12.-Cotton held it's firm undertone today, making mod crate gains on buying that at no time was heavy and rising in the face of continued good weather in the belt. The main surface reasons for the rise were continued boil weevil complaint, particularly from north Texas claimi of a somewhat better spot demand here and there in the interior and a feeling of satisfaction over the prog ress of events thus far at the repub- lican convention.
 The opening was better and the rise continued until July touched 3S.60a and the trading months were S2 to 36 points over yesterdays close. Realiz- ing from the long side became suffi-' ciently strong at one time to pare the advance down to to points, but to- ward the close there was something of a recovery and last prices were at net gains for the session of IS to Fl points Expectations are for bullish consumption figures for May from the census bureau at 3 o'clock Monday morning and this may color the early trading of the new week The weather man was warm and dry and the out look is for no change over Sunday, but good wea ther is not working against values, for the time being at least- Shepard S Gluck.

COTTON SHOWED
 STRENGTH ON NEWS

 Final Figures
By Associated Prvss

-
 New York, June 12.-Considering the character of crop news. the cotton market displayed a fair amount of strength today, and at the clt SC was steady with prices s points lower to t2 points net higher. Reflecting antici- rated liberal arrivals for delivery on contract. old crop months were less strong than the new crop positions, which were in dDmand by the trade, Wall street and to some extent by New Orleans interests, based on the possi- tinty of showers in Texas over Sunday. Elsewhere. however, excellent growing weather appeared and most of the pri- vate crop advices were bearish
 It was reported that wholesale dry soods business in the west was muc' ahead of last year, cotton goods buyers taking large quantities for immediate delivery. which indicated free move ment of cotton goods over retail coun- ters. Opening steady al points ad- vance to points decline, the market sold up rapidly to 35.73c for October, and S4.65c for December. or 20 to 2i points above the previous night.
 While there were occasional reac- lions from this level due to the even- inR-up character of trade, the under tone remained very steady and final prices were only about 10 points under the top.

New York, June 12-The market to- day was steadier than was the case yesterday. although around last nights closing prices. There were rumors that the National Ginners report showed an improvement in condition ranging from 1.0S per cent to per cent since May 25. These rumors were so contradictory that the report exer- cised comparatively little influence on the market except that it declined late yesterday. There is little or no selling pressure and there was moderate trade demand from Europe on the ini- tial decline this morning, which brought about the recovery to above last nights closing prices. The storm which threatened yesterday appeared to have dissipated over night and weather conditions through the south were generally very avorable.-Hubz bard Bros. & Co.

New York, June 12.-The (

New Orleans. June 12.-A steady de- mand on a moderate scale during the greater part of the session today kept the cotton market at small advances. At the highest levels the more active months were 92 to 36 points over the close of yesterday
 At one time enough realizing came from the long side to pare the gains down , to 9 points, but at no stage of the trading were net declines reached. Toward the close something of rally occurred and last prices were at net gains for the day of IS to 21 points. At the highest levels July traded at 3S.60c and October at 35.64c. Buying was based mainly on con- tinued boil weevil compla ints, espe- ciallyfrom southern counties of Texas, to a feeling of satisfaction regarding the course of events at the Chicago convention and to expectations of bull ish consumption figures for May in the report on American mills due early Monday morning from the census bu- reau.
 The weather map again was dry and warm and the outlook was for little change over Sunday, but weather con- ditions, while generally called very favorable, exerted no pressure against values.

Weekly Financial Review

 New York, June 12.-Interest in the stock market this week was at all tines eclipsed by political develop ments, the republican national conven- tion overshadowing the usual financial, industrial and commercial considera- ticns.
 Trading was limited to the profess sienal element and prices were uncer- tain at best. aside from the strength of few selected industrials and special ties and a moderate reversal in rails, the latter due to the cut in Chicago and Northwestern dividends
 Industrial conditions improved on further easing of the recent freight blockade.
 In trade circles, however, there were further reports of reduced activity and downward revision of price schedules for fall delivery.
 Credit restrictions were again coun- trywide, the local market evinclng greater firmness even for call money.

Stewart Letter

New Orleans. June 12.-The early forecast today showed generally flair over the entire belt, except probably showers near the Texas coast, but later reports showed showers and in- creasing cloudiness in the south and southwest Texas sections and in the Mobile and Pensacola sections These Indications may prove unsettled weather over Sunday
 The time is now at hand for the usual crop of semi monthly condition reports and as the weather has been favorable of late these reports are ex- pected to show gains in the condition average The National Ginners report the first of these private estimates to be issued, shows only a gain of LOS per cent. which is hardly as much as the trade expected. The greatest 1m- provement in condition of crop during June was 53 points in 1914 and unless the improvement this month is 1f points the July bureau will figure the lowest on record for that period, as was the June bureau. because the low. est previous July bureau on record was 70 points. last year. Any unfavor. able change in the weather. together with the assurance of a strong repub- 1ican nominee. will easily bring about a sharp rebound.

RENEWED PRESSURE ON RAILS DURING FINAL TRADING HOUR
General Bond Market Was Featureless, While Liberty Issues Held Well Dur
 ing the Day
By Associated Press

New York. June 12.-Todays short session of the stock market opened with an irregular advance under lead of selected issues, but prices sold off sharply in some cases before the close, when rails were subjected to renewed pressure.
 Shorts received another drubbing in Crucible Steel, which held all but a small fraction of it's seven points, but related issues and specialties forfeited much of their advantage at the first signs of another setback in the in vestment transportations.
 Selling of those stocks centered in the Hill division, Great Northern mak- ing an extreme decline of almost 3 points, and Northern Pacific falling 1.
 Halfway recoveries followed, but tLe entire list reflected this unsettle- ment standard stocks being af- fected to a greater extent than specu- lative issues.
 Directors of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads are sched- u.ed to hold dividend meetings next week, and rumors with the recent Chi cago and Northwestern episode in mind, persist that changes in one if not both roads are contemplated.
 The bond market was featureless, Liberty issues holding well, while pop ular rails and industrials repeated their recent irregular course within narrow limits. Total sales, par value, aggregated s5,775,O00.
 In the old United States bond list the 2s lost l point and the As a4 of poin on call for the week.
 Clearing house statement presented re features of interest, actual loans again contracting moderately. with an increase of about $9, 300, 900 in reserves, lifting the total excess to slightly over $3S.000.000.
