l lSLOWNESS OF RURAL SUPPLIES C A U s ES
 GRAIN TO ADVANCE
Both Corn and Oats Close at Big Up ward Swings In the Chicago Pit
Nv A,,oeia,ed Pres,


 Chicago, June 1.-Corn and oats climbed rapidly in value today owing in the main to comparative failure of efforts to hurry the movement of rural supplies to the principal distributing centers. After the rise had amounted in some cases to 7Ae a bushel, corn closed nervous, 4%c to 634o net higher, with July Sl7219 to Sl.'5 and September S1.5SA to Sl.5ss. Oats gained 2c to 3Isc. In provisions, the out come varied from 15c decline to Dc ad- vance.
 Notwithstanding that most corn traders had expected $50 to 300 carloads of corn would arrive here today, the real total was only 275. A consequent rush to buy took place at the opening, and there was persistent buying later until shortly pe- fore the close. Disappointment over the meagerness of arrivals was emphasized by the fact that apparently sufficient time had elapsed for better results to be brought about by recent stringent treishV orders to the railroads in regard to fur- nishng cars whither needed. Besides wet weather suggested further interfer- ence with planting. On the other hand the supreme court prohibition decision led to considerable, selling near the end of the day Bullish crop reports addeu strength to the oats market. Declines in hog values weakened provisions some what.

Sugar Market n.. n..

New York, June 1.-The local mar ket for raw sugar was quieter today and while no business was reported, the undertone was firmer. with op- orators said to be willing to pay as high as 19&c c to 200 for Cubas. cost and freight, while there was nothing offering nor was there any indications of what price Cuba might accept. In the absence of business prices were nominal at 19Hc for Cubas. cost and freight, equal to 20.57c for centrifugal, the last price paid by refiners late last week.
 The arrival of some sugar from Czecho- S1ovakia over the holiday had little effect in the market here, as it was generally believed that all this sugar had been arranged for earlier in the season.
 There was nothing new in refined 261ac for fine granulated. The distribu- tion is said to be improving, but the demand is still active and refiners have little difficulty in disposing of their supplies. In fact, they are still be- hind on old orders and some of them out of the market.
 The firmer feeling in the spot mar ket Jed to renewed covering in futures and together with a fair inquiry from trade interests resulted in a sharp up- turn in values. with some of the active positions selling 100 points above the close of last week or the full maximum gain permitted in any one days trad ing. The close was pretty near the best and 10 to 100 points net higher.

 SELLING OF STOCKS
Little Money Was Available on Time, While Call Loans Rose to Ten Per Cent In

By Associated Press

New York, June 1.-Stocks were alter nately heavy to weak throughout today S lethargic session, further selling of the more volatile issues by professional in- terests being impelled by adverse hap penings over the double holiday.
 The higher rates of discount imposed by the local federal reserve bank, as hwell as by branches in the middle west, were supplemented by statements from officials of the main or governing in ssituton directing renewed attention to unsatisfactory credit conditions.
 Emphasis was laid upon the failure of production in some of tie more essential lines of industry to catch up with con- sumption and adoption by the lower house of tie cash bonus bill occasioned much unfavorable comment in fnanciai circles.

New Orleans Cotton Qu Assnrfated Press

New Orleans, June 1-Aside from advances of to IA points on the near months on the first call the cotton market today stood at small net de- clines throughout the session. Selling was due to the announcement Of new advances in interest rates by federal reserve banks, to fairly favorable weather over the belt and the promise that 1t would continue, to liquidation in preparation for the condition report scheduled tomorrow and to the uncer- tainty over the legal status of the fu- ture contract After the opening the market fell off to net declines of 2S to 43 points, which marked the low of the day. Thereafter fluctuations were within the limits of this low and the opening high. The price of July at the lowest was 37.6tc and the market closed for the day at net declines of 19 to "A points.
 Regarding the future contract laws, the local market took the attitude that the amendment to the United States cotton futures act, under which trading has been carried on for more than a year, did not expire until midnight to- night Therefore. trading was carried on in the face of suspension of business for the day in New York market. The uncertainty was not in regard to trad ing today, but regarding developments in Washington in connection with new legislation.

Daily Wall Street Gossip
BY HOLLAND.

New York, June 1.-(Special )-One ot the leading authorities upon the cotton situation reports that cotton may this year match relatively speaking the faii- ing off in wheat. If that should be the fact the results will be rather unfav- orable to general business. Few per sens realize the variety and extent or the employment of cotton in other indus tries than that which is confined to the making of cotton cloth. Cotton fbre has become as great an essential to American industry as steel, copper or oil.
 This authority stated this morning that the new cotton crop has had late and rather poor start. This does not iney- itably point to a heavy falling off in production. In 1914 somewhat similar conditions prevailed, but later there was recovery so that fairly good cotton crop was harvested Then, however, the cotton planters were not concerned about labor. They possessed it in abun- dance. Since then the deficiency of labor in the south has been very marked, and is explained by the migration of a large number of negro laborers from the south to the north. In 1916 this migration was so great that the minimum estimate Of the number of negro laborers who de-
  opportunities in the north was not far short of million.
 To New York come reports from Texas that sometimes as much as 10 a day is paid to men who do farm work in that state, and women and children have sometimes received as much as 30, even s7. day.
 At one time the hope prevailed that the falling off in the supply of labor would be fully compensated by an influx of Mexican laborers. But the Mexicans did not appear in any considerable mum bers and are not likely to do so In fact, the labor situation is so serious that the American Cotton Association is now holding a session at Atlanta for the purpose of considering the farm labor question.
 HOW MUCH OIL ARE WE USlNG!
 The latest estimate which is regarded as fairly accurate fixes the amount or oil now being consumed daily In the United states at 1,2l0,000 barrels ihls Is considerably in excess of the American production of oil about 4o.0V0 barrels daily. Therefore, it has been necessary to turn to Mexico in order to make up the deficiency.
 There are heavy imports of oil from other countries, the United States must hereafter rely more and more Tor SUI ficient amount of oil to meet the market demands.
 Those who are qualified to speak say that the expansion and use Of oil since the armistice was signed has been great CT than during the four years Of the way. This is especially true of fuel oil. and that is demonstrated by the fact that

COTTON EXCHANGE
 SUSPENDS TRADING ! ID STUDY CONTRACT
Up In the Air as to New Cotton Futures Act, Which Takes Place
 of Old One
By Associated Press

New York, June Lowing to uneer- tainty regarding the status of the con tract, the board of managers of the New early this morning, decided to suspend trading for the day, and there was more or less uncertainty late today as to whether the exchange would reopen for business tomorrow.
 The amendments to the cotton futures act, establishing the present form of con- tract, were passed by congress with the wheat purchase bill in March. 19l9 This bill expired by limitation on Monday, and with the new legislation passed by con- gress to make the contract permanent still to be signed by the President, the board of managers decided to keep the market closed until the contract could be given legal standing, either by the enact ment of the legislation, or by amend ment to the bylaws of the local ex- change.
 Such amendments to the bylaws had been drawn and approved by the board of managers. but owing to the fact that under the rules they had to be posted for ten days before action, could not be voted upon until today. As anticipated, the amendments were unanimously adopted, but the situation was complicated Dy later advices from Washington stating that, owing to a clerical error, the oill signed by the President contained the Conner amendment to the cotton futures act, which had been rejected in con ference This raised fresh legal aues- tions which will be discussed at spe- cial meeting of the board of managers of the exchange called for $40 o'clock tomorrow morning, at which decisioa will be made with reference to reopen- ing the market. Meanwhile, Washington advices state that Congress has already moved to repass the legislation without the Conner amendment, with possibility that this may be done and the President signature secured before the meeting or the managers of the exchange tomorrow morning. The New Orleans market, which was open as usual, showed slight de- clines owing to improved crop advlees. No exports were reported today.

HOUSE AT HIS SUMMER HOME

HOUSE AT HIS SUMMER HOME
 A few hours before Colonel House de- parted from New York for his summer home publication was made of recom- mendation attributed to Count von Bern storff that it would be an expedient and from all points ot view satisfactory dip- lomatic action if Colonel House was sp- pointed ambassador from the United 10 Germany. Colonel House is master of quaint comments, and this gift was again revealed when his attention was called to the Won Bernstorff communi- cation for he said Gerard will not like this"
 Colonel House goes to Magnolia, Mass, for the summer He has a charming place there facing the water not far from Gloucester. His winter and spring
 in New York have been for him among the most delightful of his experiences. but from one point of view these experi- ences were unexpected and strange. lie has Ina dabundant companionship. but it has chiefly consisted of men who are prominent in the republican party. His daily companion in his morning walk, which he always took unless the weather prevented was man formerly con spcuous in the republican council ana today strong republican,
 One reason why Colonel House has been Able to secure social companion- shin of this kind is to De 1ounu m tne discovery that he is a man of unusual mental gifts that are weir tempered by wise and cheerful philosophy and sup plemeted by keen understanding of human nature Moreover, he has charm of manner and also an adroit method of drawing out from his visitor every thing that is worth knowing, having skill in putting questions. For that reason he has been brought into personal touch with me of science with republican poli- tcians who do not talk politics, ana with some business men.
 There is now good understanding of the reasons which led to an intimacy which to many appeared strange between Presi- dent Wilson and Colonel House. Nobody but the President himself knows why that intimacy was of a sudden ended. Colonel House himself does not know
 Some of our ablest republicans who have talked to Colonel House say that he suggests to them in the range of his knowledge. in the profoundity of his thought and in personal charm Lord Grey. with whom at one time Colonel House was upon intimate personal reia- ticns. He has apparently retired perma- nently from all political associations. He ia living the retired life of philosopher who takes keen pleasure in observing all that is in progress and in the compan- ionship of able men.
