CORN MARKET REACTS
SLIGHTLY AT CLOSE

Chicago, June There was a
sharp bulge in corn today. the ad-
vance being mainly due to the fact
that the heavy receipts anticipated
for today failed to materiaIize.
Cash demand vas GOOD and opening
prices showed yellow corn un-
changed to a shade better. while
white was 1 to cents lower. The
advance in July of 4 cents narrowed
the spread between the cash and
the futures and 1t looks now as
though futures will sell closer to
the cash. not by the cash breaking,
but by the futures advancing. Corn
reacted slightly at the close. but
last prices were AIS to 61-2 cents
higher than the previous close.
Cash corn closed unchanged from
saturdays close. and the spread be-
tween the cash and the futures had
shrunk to about cents.

MONEY.

New York, June There did
not appear any material change
this morning in the purchasing
open market rate for acceptances
by the Federal Reserve Bank.
Some brokers sold bills at the rate
prevailing last week. In the gen.
eral bankers acceptance market
rates were up about u per cent.
Brokers were bidding SIS for prime
member s0-day bills and while
they were not offering openly at
the figure. 6% per cent could be
made. In call money a fairly good
demand was reported at 6 per cent;
in time funds. the demand was
good at S1a per cent and little
money was available.
In mercantile paper circles the
inference drawn from the higher
discounts was that higher rates
were inevitable. measured by the
extent to which the banks would
require a proportionate advance on
paper over the rates charged the
bankers by the New York Federal
Reserve Bank. Paper of choice
quality has been ruling at a mini
mum of 7h per cent with local
banks asking higher figures.

New York, June important. l. de-
velopments are looked for at the
directors meeting of General Mo-
tors Company tomorrow in connec-
ton with plans to finance the COM
pany's expansion program. 1t may
be that a plan viii be adopted at

orally discussed would result in the
stockholders having the right to

II is believed that large interests

CALL MONEY HIGHER
Practical Assurance of
Bonus Bill Being Re-
jected Helps Market

New York, June 1.-Stocks closed
slightly lower today and quiet un-
der the influence of a 10 per cent
call money rate. Despite the ad-
vance of the discount rate by the
Federal Reserve Bank call funds
were 6 per cent most of the day
and only a few belated borrowers
were compelled to pay at the high
price. In the early morning there
was some hesitation on account of
the passage of the bonus bill by the
house. The Street has assurances
from Washington that there Is no
intention of letting the bill go
through the Senate and even IL 1t
should slip through the Senate the
President is pledged to veto 1t. So
the market was strong most of the
day and the final decline was not
considered anything more than the
usual profit taking.

Tobacco Stocks Strong.
Oficial announcement of the
March production of tobacco in
this country caused good buying in
all the tobacco stocks which were
strong throughout the session. The
government figures show that ciga-
rettes are now being made at the
rate of $4,000, 900, 900 a year in the
United States. This is an increase
of 1913 per cent over March Of
last year. Cigars show a gain of
81 per cent in volume of output.

SNUFF, 27.6 per cent over the out
put of March, 1919. The increase
in the cigar business is considered
the most remarkable feature Of the
situation.

Coca Cola enjoyed a brief period
of strength when announcement
was made that suit against the

Railroad Stock.
Investment bankers and specula-
tive brokers are joining now in ad-
vising the purchase of railroad
stocks and stocks of railroad equip
ment companies.
They are doing this on the theory
that the appraisal by the govern
ment will fix railroad values so high
that under the law the Interstate
Commerce Commission will be en-
sbled to grant rates putting all rail-
roads in strong financial position.
The first thing they will have to do
will be to buy equipment
