FURTHER COVERING
 CAUSED A STEADY
 COTTON MARKET
Advance In July Was the Feature of the Price Movement - Other
 Months Vary
By Associated Press

New York, July 1.-Trading in the cotton market today was generally quiet, with prices ruling steady on fur ther covering for over the government report and the approaching holidays October contracts fluctuated between 53.25c. the early low point and SS.4Sc, closing at 3S.S5c. compared with 33.16c at the close yesterday Two or three July notices were reported in circula- tion but there was very little July for sale around the ring and a moderate demand from shorts sent the price up to 3S-6Sc, or eighty-eight points net higher and more than 500 points above october. July closed at 3S.40c, or sixty points net higher, while later months showed a closing advance of Is to 20 points.
 The market opened firm at an ad vance of fifty points on July and of Is to IS points on later deliveries, which were probably influenced by relatively steady cables. Liverpool re- ported continental and Manchester buying, but the demand here seemed to come almost entirely from covering and trading was in small volume dur ing the entire day. The feature of the price movement was the advance in July, other positions fluctuating with - in range of some Is to 23 points There was some selling of October above 33.40c, believed to be for Japan csc account, which probably accounted for the closing reaction.

CORN MARKET WAS STRENGTHENED BY
 BEARISH REPORTS
Both Corn and Oats Finished On a See-Saw, While Provisions
 Went Down 40 Gents
By Associated Press


 Chicago, July 1.-Predictions of fall ing off in the volume of receipts atte- this week rallied the corn market today from weakness that was shown during the first part of the session. The close was unsettled 1sc off to 1sc up, and pro visions unchanged to l0c down.
 The temporary advantage which bears in the corn market enjoyed during the earlier trading was due chiefly to cor rect forecasts of improvement in crop conditions as estimated by various pri- vate authorities. When shorts tried to cover they found that offerings had be- come far from plentiful At this junc- ture gossip was circulated that rural ele- vators had finished shipping corn, and that receivers were looking for a decided reduction in arrivals, beginning with the holiday next Monday On the bulge that ensued, that market touched the best prices of the day.
 Oats were governed mainly by the ac- ton of corn.
 Lower quotations on hogs tended to weaken provisions. 4

N AONEY THE PIVOT AROUND WHICH WALL
 STREET OPERATED
Call Loans Went From 10 to IA Per Cent, With Com mercial Borrowing
 Higher
By Associated Pres,

New York;, June 1.-Money was the pivot around which today's stock market again revolved in it's recent indolent fashion. A 10 to II per cent rate for call loans, higher quotations for commercial borrowing and meagre offerings for time funds testified to the steady contraction of credits.
 An authoritative survey of general con- fd.tions here emphasized the further con ,servation of cash. due, it was contended, to higher discount rates.
 Shorts evinced further disposition to cover contracts in steels and equip ments.
 In general, however, the approaching triple holiday was sufficient to hold deal ings, except among several favorites within extremely narrow and profes' sional bounds.
 Investment and speculative buying of railroad and industrial issues, as well as Liberty and Victory issues, imparted strength to the, active bond market.@
 Sales, par values, aggregated S15,95O,0OO.
 Old United States bonds were un- changed on call.

New Orleans Cotton Rx Associatad Presn

New Orleans, July l.--Less favorable crop returns from private bureaus and the forecast of showers for the eastern
 division of the belt gave the cotton mar
 ket an upward tendency from the start today and the advance persisted through
 out the session, the close showing gains
 of 1S to 40 points. At the highest levels
 the active months were g to 49 points
 up, July being the strongest month.
 Just on the close there was liquidation
 in the distant months which caused ire
 regularity. July was inactive in the early trading, but became strong and
 fairly active little later
 The main demand of the session came from traders who were impressed by the fact that nearly all of the private bu- reau reports on conditions today were
 below q. Of six reports received here, three were under 70, the lowest being 67 5, while one was 70.6 and the highest was 5l.5. A local report of 70.3 indicating a crop of but 100000 bales, helped to open the market at higher levels Bet ter cables than due caused some buying on the opening. The weather map was considered favorable because it reflected but little rain in the belt, but it caused little or no selling

growth may possibly offset the short
 age in acreage.
 Indian corn apparently is to do
 splendidly this year. possibly a record
 harvest of it may be gathered, more
 than 5000, 900 bushels A very large
 acreage was planted to corn, although
 somewhat late. so that the harvest
 may be two or three weeks late this
 year. Montana is apparently to har-
 vest many million bushels of corn.
 Taking the country as whole, these early midsummer days are giving much encouragement that the crops will equal the average and very likely some of 1 them will exceed the average harvest. If there could only be centainty tha- adequate distribution of the crops could be secured, then most encour- aging business outlook due to the har- vest will he obtained
 ONE GREAT CROP
 Whatever may be the harvest of other crops, that of hay promises to
 be phenomenal. At the present price of hay per ton the aggregate money value of the hay harvest should be not far from S00,000,00e possibly l. coo o,e00,0o0. It is likely far to exceed the money value of cotton this year,
 due. of course, to the disappointments which the cotton planters have met with. These have been occasioned in
 part by bad weather and also in part by the shortage of field hands
 WHAT RAILROADS ARE DOING In spite of earnest attempt to pro- vide a better distribution for the crops. nevertheless, traffic conditions especially in the northwest, show lit tie improvement. There must be im- provement or inadequate distribution will offset at least for many months the value of crops. In the northwest many crops harvested last year are still held over because the railroads cannot handle them. Desperate at tempts have been made to move sur CT this surplus will reach the markets before the new wheat is also ready for transportation.
 This embarrassment is not confined to the wheat and grain situation. h. adequate transportation has seriously affected many lines of business. This is especially true of the iron and steel industries. For with the exception of the plants which carry large stocks of their own manufactories which make use of iron and steel are serious ly embarrassed because they are ur- able to get the raw material from oth- CT parts of the country.
 AS IT IS WITH THE MINES Although agriculture in the north west is of more importance than min ing, nevertheless 1t is essential if there be-a speedy return to the normal busi- ness life that these mines be operated to their capacity. At this time they are falling far short of their capacity. The operators are calling for coal, but
 they get very little. They are seek ing labor. but it does not come rapidly. Tn Minnesota. it is true, mining ca pacity is estimated at 80 per cent and there is some increase in Montana. But the cost of operating the mines stead i1v grows and there also is a falling off in orders so that the mining indus
 try of the northwest is not at this
 time encouraging.
