CORN REACHED ITS HIGHEST QUOTATIONS
 IN THE CHICAGO PIT
Oats Were on Balance, While the Provisions List Gained Twenty
 to Thirty-twO Gents
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 16.-Corn scared today to the highest prices yet this season. Off,
 ferings were of insufficient volume to appease demand from shippers here. The
 market closed nervous at 1lk@17sc net ad-
 vance with July LISA a1 .7S7s, and Sep
 tember s1.69A@1. .6919, Oats finished un-
 changed to ssc lower. Provisions gained
 20 to S2 cents.
 Bulls had the advantage in the corn
 market throughout the day. Only tempo
 rary setbacks took place, and they were
 plainly due to realizing on the part of holders. The fact that corn available for immediate delivery was advancing 1 faster in price than either ctry or Sep tember contracts received particular at tention, especially as arrivals were rather liberal. There was no denying, however the rapdlty with which supplies were gobbled up, nor the smallness of accumu- lations at distributing centers. Besides, industries as well as shippers were active bidders. Strong commission houses led the buying of futures.
 Rains in Iowa Nebraska and elsewhere tended to ease the oats market. Fur thermore. the French government was re- ported to have cancelled purchases total ling 100000 bushels.

FLEECY STAPLE WAS
 SENT ID A SHARP
 BREAK BY WEATHER
General Market Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of 25 to B
 Points
By Associated Pre-.

New York, June 16.-The more favor- able average of crop news and the opti- mistic tone of the weekly weather re- port led to sharp break in the cotton market here today. Prices were higher early but there were increased offerings at 55.lse for october. and that delivery sold off to 34.5Sc in the late trading with the general market closing barely steady at net decline of 25 to 53 points
 The early advance was due to con- tinuation of yesterdays covering move ment and scattered buying, which found encouragement i'll relatively firm cables and the better early tone of the mar ket. The opening was ? points higher to points lower.
 Most of the demand came from recent sellers, however, and as soon as the cov- ering became less sctive prices turned easier. This encouraged renewed pres sure from local traders and the selling became more active and general after the publication of the weekly report, in- dicating that the crop had made good progress over the entire belt, with a sub stantial improvement in some sections. The scattering short interest had evil dently been pretty we'll covered on the early rally, which carried prices some so to 65 points above the low levels of yes- terday, and there was very little support in the late trade. July sold off to S7. 60c, while December was relatively weak. breaking to 33.25c. or 53 points net lower. Closing prices were at the lowest of the day and bearish sentiment was much in evidence late in the afternoon owing to the lack of improvement in reports from the goods trade and the more favorable View of the new crop possibilities.
 Port receipts today, 6,403; U. S ports stocks,' 964.9S9. Exports today. 1.s4i. so far this season, 6,0S6,072.

New Orleans Cotton Ky Aesoefatad Brace


 New orleans, June 16.-The trend in the cotton market was decidedly lower tooay, mainly as the result of the more favorable weekly crop reports by the government than expected, although in the late trading anticipations of an other warm and dry weather man to- morrow caused considerable selling. Offerings were heaviest late in the session, so that toward the close the trading months were 30 to 50 points under the final prices of yesterday. Closing prices were at net losses of P to 50 points.
 The only firm period of the session came in the early trading. when much was heard about the injurious effect on the crop of prevailing high tempera- lures, but this sort of comment stopped after the reading of the weekly re- perts which distinctly stated that high i temperatures and light rainfall had caused good crop progress. At the highest of the day prices were 12 to 22 points over yesterdays close, July ris- ing to 3S.02c and October to 34.95c. From these levels July fell off to 37.60c and October to 3440c
 After the reading of the weekly re- ports it was pointed out that while during June this year the condition of the crop evidently is improving, last year the crop deteriorated during June and the comparison caused more or less selling

Daily Wall Street Gossip
BY HOLLAND.

Perkins called upon him so that he mlSht explain to the general why MT. fer6lns had taken no active part fin presidential politics and why he would be unable to attend the national con- vention. The intimate friends of Mir. Perkins have known for some time that he was suffering from a nerv- ous breakdown. Early in the winter he said that his physicians had com manded him to abstain from all work and to go to Florida, where he has a bungalow, near Palm Beach, and re- main there until the warmer weather came. He returned to New York not improved in health and there was gradual failure until at last it was tound essential that he be put in re- tirement. Apparently the nerovus breakdown was actual and not merely theratened
 When the war was in progress sev- eral of the business men who were called to the assistance of the gov ernment were so strenuously driven with work and so heavily laden with responsibilities that they found at last it was impossible to concentrate the mind. their nerves gave out and they went into retirement. Mr Per kins' retirement is not due to any business activities. He long ago with drew from all important business ex- cepting his association whit the United States Steel Corporation and the In- ternational Harvester Company. But he did not permit himself any leisure or any time for recreation. He main tained his offices in the Empire build ing and they were thronged every day not by the business men but by those who are aiding him in welfare work. He went tn Pqric Q loe ter hoping that he might be able to put an end to some embarrassments which the Young Men's Christian Association work was meeting with in France. Frequently he labored un- til long past midnight and permitted himself only a few hours sleep and these were restless hours.
 His system was weakened by his welfare work so that pneumonia seizeed him. Some six weeks passed before he was able to depart from the hospital, but there seemed to remain lingering germs of pneumonia poison ing so that it required the exercise of his very strong will in order to work at all. Upon his return to the United States he was necessarily oc- crpied with welfare work, frequent ly not being able to get to bed before two o'clock in the morning.
 MT. Perkins would have been glad to take active part in the preliminary presidential politics but discovered that he could not concentrate his mind upon that or any other subject He was falling, his nerves were yielding to the strain he put upon them. It may be that his extraordinary mental viz tality stimulated by temperament which caused him to enter into any undertaking with enthusiasm and high pressure began even in the years when he was in business life to make havoc with his nerves. He has been all his life man of abstemous habits, a model of correct personal department so that his present condition is not to be traced to any other cause than his ircessant devotion to welfare work

AND CL|QUES TRf n STIMULATE HE STOCK MARKET
Eas Money Favored the Professional Element, Call Loans Opening at z
 Per Cent
by Associated Pres,


 New York, June 16.-Efforts of pools and cliques to stimulate a degree of pub- lie interest in the stock market today were attended with slight success de- spite additional bidding up of various specialties. notably several of the closely held issues.
 Easy money again favored the pro fessional element, call loans opening at soon after mid-day. This fact was re- garded as noteworthy because of the further shifting of funds necessitated by heavy payments of federal taxes.
 Reports from other reserve centers in- dicated no disturbance of monetary con ditions. On the contrary, there were signs that banks at leading commercial sections were buying liberally of mer- cantile paper.
 The industrial situation was less re- assuring, advices from Philadelphia tell ing of further reduction of operations in the woolen mills. Extensive cancella- tions and lower prices for finished ma terials were assigned as the primary causes.
 An echo of the recent financial and industrial collapse in the far east was sounded by the Iron Age, which re- ferred to cancellations of Japanese busi- ness. The Dutch East Indies and even Europe, it was stated, has absorbed most of the Japanese rejections.
 On more circumstantial meager rumors issues of the prominent chemical com panies made further material gains to- day, especially General Chemical, Bar rett and National Aniline. These were irregularly shaded towards the close, as were the more moderate advances in steels, equipments and rails.
 Trading in bonds was fairly large, the activity, however, being mainly at the expense of values. Liberty issues and the foreign division eased. Total sales, par value, aggregated s18,S75,000.

Sugar Market Ru Assnciated Press


 New York, June 1.-The local market for raw sugar was easier today, and prices for Cuba were 15c lower to the basis of 1S1sc, cost and freight, equal to 19.56c for centrifugal. The increasing supplies from outside sources at below the Cuban quotations have finally made their effect on Cuba holders, and today they seemed more anxious to make sales. There> were sales of 5000 bags of San Domingoes afloat at 1SHc and freight. some Cubas afloat at 1Ss4c, cost and freight, at which price the market closed. There were also sales of 5000 bags of Porto Rican on the same basis.
 The market for refined was unchanged at 22c to 24c for fine granulated. Two of the refiners are still out of the mar ket. The movement of refined sugar is said to be improving, and there is less active inquiry although refiners are all pretty we'll sold up.
 The easiness in the spot market led to rather general selling in futures. and closing prices were 20 +o a0 points net lower or practically the lowest of the day
