New Orleans Cotton RY Assnclafnd Prnsi

New Orleans, June 10.--Covering of the short interest furnished the mo-
 tive power for rather surprising ad-
 vance in the cotton market today, con
 sidering the very favorable state of the weather over the belt In the last few minutes of the day. however, the market went all to pieces and finally closed at net losses for the session of 2 to points. Rumors that private bureau report showed gain in con- dition of points, talk of tighter money and feforts of early buyers to get their profits were responsible for the break, and the market closed on considerable short selling.
 A good demand was in evidence on the opening, traders here being i'm pressed by the strength of the near l months in the Liverpool market. After , q rise of 12 to 16 points the demand became well supplied and reaction | carried the market off to levels ? 1 points higher to opints lower than 1 the close of yesterday Here the real buying movement commenced, in 1 spite of the weather map and pros l poets that the good weather would i continue, and the market gradually
 rose until late in the day it was 3f l to 39 points over the final prices of yesterday. The weakness of the late trading carried prices off to net de- l clines of to IS points on the m lost ] actiYe months.

King Georges Trousers

From Leslies
 The world do move. King George of England has ordained, decreed or de- clded, whichever be the proper kinely terminology, that the royal trouserloons shall be crease don the side in place of the conventional front and back crease Well and good. Kings still have a few rights left and this is one of them. Whatever the object of this royal in- noyaticr, the effect is said to be such that ytii can not tell whether his majesty i; coming or going. Time ~as when the London dandies would have hot footed 1t to their tailors tc have the royal side ways crease implanted in their own gar ments No such rush has been reported. This looking like a nnG is a mighty dan gerous and unpopular Usiness in Europe these days, with nearly half of the avail able kings lcoFirg fer jcbs and not find ing them. while the ether crowned heads are rattlirg around on tfeir thrones in a very nervous and unstable fashion. Small wonder that the London Beau Brummels shy off at the royal sideways crease and decide to 'flet George do it'' by his lonesome. Yes, the world do move. albeit slowly at times.

SLUGGISH MARKET FEATURED BY PIPER CENT CALL LOANS
Prospects for Additional Gold Imports Were Heightened By Bank of
 England Statement
By Associated Press


 New York. June 1O.-Apart from an un- and slight increase of breadth and ac- tivity, today's stock market differed tn no essential from recent sluggish and inconclusive sessions.
 The trend of events at Chicago was followed with greater interest, a mod crate rally ensuing on news that an agreement had been reached regarding the treaty plank. improvement proved of short duration, however, another general reversal setting in when rails lost ground.
 The maximum rate for money came Just before the irregular close and afforded a pretext for further pressure upon in- dustrials and specialties. The only note- worthy exceptions at the finish were Vanadium Steel and Consolidated rex tile.
 Announcement of the new capital offer ing by Chicago and Northwestern was not accepted as a bullish factor, trad CTS acting on the assumption that other railroads also would come into the money market for new equipment and construc- tion.
 Prospects of additional gold imports were heightened by the weekly statement of the Bank of England, which disclosed another large gain in that institution holdings of the precious metal.
 Well informed financial interests pro- fessed to have no knowledge, however, of another gold movement to this center, and rates on London were relatively un- changed
 The bond market repeated It's recent ir- regular tendency in the domestic list, in- cIuding Liberty issues, most of which were lower.
 Total sales, par value, aggregated $l4,- S7o 900. Old United States bonds were un- changed on call, but the 4s lost l per cent on sales.

Iron and Steel Review

Cleveland, O., June 10.-The Iron Trade Review says demoralized traffic condi- stions in iron and steel are being cleared up so slowly that the restoration of nor mai operations of these works still is far remote. Present productions does not average over 60 to 70 per cent; an irreg- ular improvement in the movement of materials is going forward and crowded sidings are being well freed of stag mated ,consignments,s but new shipments are in limited amount The resources that many plants still are forced to struggle against the stifling effects of overloaded yards, and some of them in the wees have been forced to make a fresh cur- tailment of output to meet the situation
 The outlook in the Pittsburg district, particularly where the largest producer still has 100000 tons and another com- pany over 130,000 tons in stock piles. is not reassuring. The chief and continuing diff ficulty from the manufacturers stand point is the lean car supply. Placements with various steel companies are running about 40 to 50 per cent of daily needs.
 Forced to work out some insurance against delays of raw material, particu- larly fuel, many industrial companies now are entering the market for freight equip ment on their own account Large ca pacity hopper cars, chiefly for the car riage of coal. are being contracted for. These purchases overshadow railroad buy ing for, the moment.
 Prices for finished steel still resist any general softening, and this fact'has been more clearly shown since the volume of new business on the whole has been larger The wide spread between the quo fations of the Steel Corporation and the
 independent mills remains substantially unchanged.
 The Carnegie Steel Company now is &C., cepting steel bar contracts from regular customers whore their circumstances war rant it for third quarter or last half spec Ii1cations, but for delivery at the mill convenience in the present condition of order books, this virtually >means 1921 shipment.

RENEWED COVERING
 IN COTTON WAS THE FEATURE OF MARKET
General List Closed Barely Steady at a Net Decline of Five to Twenty
 Points
By Associated Prcss

New York. June 1O-There was re- newed covering in the cotton market dur ing today's trading, but the demand tap cred off around 35.95 for October and prices broke pretty sharply during the last half hour with that delivery sell ing down to 353S and closing at 35.42 The general list closed barely steady at net decline of five to twenty points. The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 4 points to decline of points and showed considerable firmness dur ing the middle of the day.
 Scattered selling on the continued good weather and favorable forecasts was absorbed by trade buying on moderate reactions and there were overnight re- ports of an improved spot demand. July sold at 3S60, or Il points net higher while new crop months sold 37 to 4( points above last nights closing figures but late in the afternoon offerings be- came heavier and there were rumors of bearish private mid-month condition fig ures
 Closing prices were at the low point of the day on most positions.

MAN AND WIFE ARE
 REPORTED SLAIN BY
 INFURIATED TENANT

Heflin, June -(SpeciaL)-As the re- suit of a row about the planting of cer-
 tain crops, a Tallapoosa, Ga, man and hi swre are both dead at the hands of a tenant named King, it is reported here. According to reports King is sid to have owed his landlord, Sol Bennefield, for money advanced on crops. When King was told to vacate he refused to leave his COW for the payment of the debt It is said that Mrs. Bennefield remonstrat- ed and King used abusive language. at which Mrs Bennefield went into the house to get a shotgun. When she came out Of the house, King elashed her throat from ear to ear with 8 large pocket knife, 1t IS alleged In some manner the gun went off, and Bennefield came running from hir field. As he reached the scene, King turned to him and dealt him the same fate It is said that King at once went to Tallapoosa and gave himself into the hands of the officers at that place.

to the credit stringency, and there are reports that some mills wish cotton car ried for thirty to sixty days by the seller before making purchases. The local sentiment was rather less bearish today owing in part to the fact that no real liouidation appeared on the recent de- cline, and in part to fears of the weather. We should say that the future of prices over Sunday depends entirely on whether this anticipated wet spell occurs or does not. If it does not, 1t is doubtful if further advance from this level will hold. If it does, it should have marked eff feet on prices, as the crop is in no shape to withstand any more bad weather Hubbard Bros. X Co.
