RAILROADS AND SECURITIES

ket for raw sugar was easy agaln ana prices declined early to the basis of IT 1-2 cents for Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 1856 for centrifugal. There were sales of HOO bags of San Domin- goes in store at IT 1-4 cents, eff, but no sales of Cubas were reported.
 The market was little steadier in tone at the close. although prices were unchanged from the early decline.
 There were no changes in refined sugar prices, which are quoted at 22 to 24 cents for fine granulated. The demand is less active and it was said that some allotments made by refners are being declined. One of the leading refiners is offering some Argentine sugar to the canning and packing trade 2130 less two per cent fob New fork, for August, September and early Octo- Der delivery
 Price changes in futures were 1rregu- lar and at times quite violent The opening was unchanged to 50 points higher on covering and trade buying, but eased off quite sharply under re- newed liquidation with active months at one time five to ten points below last nights final quotations. In the afternoon, however. there was re newed buying and prices rallied as rapidly as they declined in the fore- noon regaining all the loss again and closing at IS to 80 points net advance for the day.

MORE STRINGENT
 MONEY IN SIGHT
 FEATURE OF STREET
Bond Market Traders Were Interested In Increased Activity and Strength
 of Belgian Bonds
By Associated Pres,

New York, June 24--Cumulative evil dence that money is likely to become tighter or more stringent in the firal days of the current month overshadowed interest in tn estock market today.
 Call loans opened and renewed at per cent, rose to 10 per cent at noon, grad ually advancing to IA per cent, rate only once exceeded this year, in the final hour. For all material purposes time money ceased to exist, further bids of Sh to per cent bringing out only the smallest supply.
 Local banks reported similar monetary tendencies at New England and middle western centers, where financial instisu- tions were making preparations to strengthen their reserves to meet un- usually large midyear requirements.
 Foreign exchange. particularly the Lon don rate, continued to react from the high quotation of recent days. In this connection, it was noted that the weekly statement of the Bank of England gave no hint of prospective gold exports to this market. The Bank of France reported only nominal gain of bullion, while it's discounts and advances increased also 70000,000 francs.
 The stock market was inclined to move forward in the early and intermediate periods of the dull session, but most gains were cancelled when money became the dominant factor. Crucible, Mexican Petroleum and Baldwin Locomotive were among the few issues to overcome thls unexpected development rallying briskiy and imparting semblance of steadinsss at the end.
 An element of interest was injected into the bond market by the increased activity and strength of Belgian 7Es, which rose a substantial fraction. Other foreign issues were steady to firm, but Liberty bonds and some of the raiis, notably Southern railway 5s, were mostly lower.
 Total sales. par value. aggregated sl2'- s50,000.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

PRIVATE REPORTS ON COTTON CAUSE A SEVERE BREAK
The General List Closed Steady, at a Net Decline of Thirty-five to Fifty
 seven Points
By Associated Press

New York, June 24.-Bearish private crop reports led to more general and aggressive selling in the cotton mar ket today and very severe break in prices. July was relatively weak. sell ing nearly one cent below the closing price of yesterday, owing to apprehen- sions of notices tomorrow, while Oc- tober declined to S2.95c. or 67 points net lower. That delivery closed at 3S25c, with the general market closing steady at a net decline of 35 to 57 points,
 The opening was irregular, with August SS points higher, and other months points higher to points lower, but the market quickly weak ened, owing to reports that promi- nent southern authority estimated the condition of the crop at T2 per cent of normal, and placed the indicated yield at 11,440,00 bales. There had been considerable selling lately on expecta- tions that the end-June condition fig ures would show an improvement, but this report was a surprise to the gen eral trade. After showing net losses of about 17 to 26 points, prizes rallied on covering, but met renewed pressure encouraged by the favorable weather details, higher call money rates and unfavorable trade notices. Old long lines came out on the afternoon de- cline, which uncovered stop orders with July selling off from 36.31 to 35.25c, and December from 32.67 to 3tS6c, or into new low ground for the move ment. and 62 to 72 points net lower on the new crop positions. Another private crop report was published making the condition 671, but even this indicated record breaking i'm provement in prospects as compared with last months official figures, and while the ten-year average for June 25 is 79.S, the figures evidently made a very bearish impression Last prices showed rallies of 20 to 40 points from the lowest Exports today 6,371, mak- ing 6135SS0 so far this season. Port receipts 4.0S2. United States port stocks 942,S11.

 DEPRESSING EFFECT

 Cents

Chicago, June 24.-Persistent selling. together with larger receipts than were expected. had a depressing influ- ence today on the corn market. The close was nervous, ? to 4Mc net lower, with July s1.7s% to s1.77, and Sep tember s1.671a @167A. Oats lost % to sc, and provisions Is to 22c
 Corn was under bear pressure throughout the day and showed but little power to rally The fact that re = ceipts were rather liberal put at an evident disadvantage. the friends of higher prices, especially as shipping requirement here gave signs of having been overfilled for the time being, I'm mediate needs of industries, it was said. had also been fairly well pro- vided for. During the last part of the season weakness became more acute largely owing to an opinion expressed by leading authority that prevailing prices were 25 to BOG a bushel in ex- cess of feeding values. Contrary as- sertions that there had been decided readjustment of late between corn and live stock prices failed to attract much notice.
 Oats gave way with corn, although declines were retarded somewhat by the fact that crop news regarding oats was of pessimistie character.
 Provisions reflected setbacks in the value of grain and hogs. Scattered commission house longs did most of the selling.
