RESULT OF CHILEAN
 PRESIDENTIAL VOTE
 REMAINS UNCERTAIN

Santiago, Chile, June 2S.-Uncertain- ity exists as to the result of the presi- dential election held last Friday. A compilation of the returns received by the government up to noon today of the liberal alliance. 175 electors, and Luis Barros Borgono. liberal un- ionist, 173.
 President Sanfuntes today requested Fetlerico Cuga Borne minister of the interior, to renew his efforts to recon struct the cabinet with representation in it for all the political parties
 The uncertainty of the final results of the election, coupled with continued demonstrations. virtually paralyzed the result of the capital today. Street car traffic remained tied up. all the large stores closed their doors and troops were parked in the Plaza de Armas, near where the college of electors of the department of Santiago is counting the votes.
 La NaciQn. today publishes with re- serve report that railway strike was imminent It added that the gener- al suspension of work in some quarters constituted a significant demonstra- tion on the part of labor. The Mercurio, dealing with the demonstrations and the continued paralysis of transpor- tation in the city, characterized them as absurd. It added that neither the strike nor the street disordes would change the result of the election. The newspaper pleaded for confidence in the constitutional regime.

Berlin, June &--In a speech at the opening of the new Reichstag today. honstantin Fehrenbach, chancellor of the German government, declared that the German people scarcely recognized the burdens imposed in the Versailles treaty. He said it was necessary for Ger many to fulfill all the stipulations of the treaty, as far as possible
 Above all," the chancellor continued, Germany must honestly, and without mental reservation, fulfill it's liability to diminish the size of her army to mini mum necessary for the preservation of order, and also must fulfill the other de- mands and repar ton stipulations

Stewart Letter

New Orleans, June 2S.--A good Liv- erpool and reports of a good deal rain in Texas, which brought on more boil veevil talk, caused a better opening this morning, but the market ruled quiet under dull trading until the lat ter part of the session, when July de- veloped immediate strength. The open ing was 10 to 15 up. October sold as low as 32.75c around the opening, but closed at the days high figure, 33.3lc July was 100 points up. The main flea ture today was the strength of July This was due to shorts covering, be- cause of story going the rounds thai a large Carolina firm was long 25,00( or more bales and would demand the cotton. If this is true, there is : chance for a tight squeeze in the spot month, as there would seem little chance for shorts to get that much ten. derable cotton by the time the optior expires, congested transportation ane longshoremens strike in New York was another bullish feature in July, making the shorts who intended to ship cotton there in July afraid of limited time
 Clement, Curtis & Co. made the con dtion 70.6, with 2 per cent decrease in acreage, and the Southern Products Company figure was I'll. No doubt the government report next Friday will be bullish, and the market has prob atly seen it's low for a while.-S. R Stewart x Co.

New Orleans, June 2S.-(Speciai)- July led the remainder of the list in the cotton market to higher levels to- day, making an active session of 1t and taking away some of the interest that might otherwise have been dis- played in the events of bureau day. The wide discount on July as compared with spots and fear of what may hap pen before the month is 1iquidated caused much covering of the short in terest in the incoming spot position, forcing the price to 37.05 on the close, a rise for the session of 99 points. But even at this gain the discount on July is wide, since middling spots today are quoted at 39.75c, unchanged compared with Saturdays quotation. The new crop months at their best were 5S to 66 points up. The close on the list was a a net gain of 5S to 99 points.
 The weather map was favorable out side of Texas, being warm and dry. Texas reported too many showers to be called favorable, and boil weevil reports from that state increased. For a while some selling was done on pri- vate bureau report of Ill, but this was offset a little later by another report of res, accompanied by figures show ing a decrease in. the acreage of per cent and an indicated crop of 100000 tales
