STRENGTH OF JULY FEATURES MARKET: COVERING NOTABLE
July Advances to 37.70c In Late Trading, 150 Points Above Saturdays
 Closing Price A
By Associated Press

New York, June 2S.-The strength of July featured the cotton market today, Alter selling at S6.10c early, July ad- vanced to S770c in the late trading, or 156 points above the closing price of Saturday Local brokers regarded this iu the nature of readjustment be- tween the price of the maturing month and middling quotations in the south The general market closed firm at a net advance of 40 to 40 points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to Is points and prices eased off right after the call. october and December sold down\about to points net lower, but the market soon firmed up on the strength of July.
 There was a good deal of covering by Wall street and local shorts at this point. October advancing to 3S.5sc and December to 32.S7c, or about 50 to 56 points net higher. Last prices were within a few points of the best.

New Orleans Cotton pv Assoclated Press

New Orleans June 2S.-The July po- sition in the cotton market today led the remaining months to much higher levels with the advance persisting from the opening to the close. when July stood 99 points up at 3705c. Others were 5S to so points up on the elose. July closed at the top. and the new crops were 6S to 66 noints, October trading up to 33.31c. Covering of the short interests furnished good part of the demand.
 July still stood far under spots. even though spots were unchanged today at 3975c for middling. while contracts were at the advance. The discount on July. as compared with spots. was actually the secret of the strength of the contract market.
 Weather conditions were considered favorable, except for the showers in Texas. and the outlook was for con- tinued favorable weather. but this was offset by renewed boil weevil com plaints from several states. In the early trading a private condition re - port of I'll per cent of normal caused some selling. but it was not kept up after another report of 70.6 made its appearance.

NEW RECORD FOR DULLNESS SET AT ! END OF SESSION Dealings on Stock Exchange Dwindle to Insignificant
 Total of 260,0cO
 Shares
By Associated Prsss

New York, June 2s.-The same fac tors and considerations which have governed the apathetic course of the securities market throughout the month, were operative again today in mere acute form. A new record for dullness was set at the end of the ses- sion, dealings dwindling to the insig n.ficant total of 260,0o0 shares.
 Events over the weekend were most ly of character to chill bullish sem t.ment, even if the technical position of the market had warranted construc- tive effort. Returns of the federal re- serve banks plainly indicated that the process of deflation had made little headway Industrial developments were far from encouraging.
 Steels, equipments, oils and chemi- calls led today's irregular reaction. Motors, metals, tobaccos and shippings were less severely affected. Intermit- tent selling if rails added to the gen. eral reversal, only a fw miscellaneous speciaIties holding their ground.
 Lower prices ruled in the very dull market. Total sales. par value, aggre- gated $11, 1,350.00o. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call

But the manufacturers are unable to
 meet this demand solely because they cannot move their cement to the places
 whence the call for it comes. They say that they cannot get the cars. ] And yet upon the flats adjoining the yards of some of the railroads whose | terminals are opposite New York city
 there stand hundreds of empty cars.
 And they so stand because it is im- possible to move more than a few of
 them each day. If these cars were available many of them would be speedily loaded with barrels of cement
 which would be hastened to the various
 markets from which comes the call | for them.
 | In the Chesapeake bay or it's vicinity
 there are some two hundred so-called | tankers which would be available for the shipment of oil were it not for the | fact that the Mexican oil which is | chiefly bunker oil, so-called. it so ! greatly in demand that the supply is 1 Tar below that demand One of the
 European governments is anxious to secure a large supply of oil industry ! in the United States in the hope that
 these leaders would be able to meet | the demand. But it cannot be done now. This foreign government wants the bunker oil chiefly for it's navy, but It's navy must remain idle until the shortage in fuel oil is overcome This l condition. however, is not due to rail-
 road congestion, but chiefly to the great disparity between demand and
 supply, in the banker or fuel oil in- dustry.
 A MASTER MIND
 The suspicion has become almost
 conviction that the various apparently | spasmodic and unrelated railway ! strikes rrflect the direction of some ! master mind. Sometimes a strike will
 occur, as happened recently in Phila- delphia. Then when it has progressed
 to point where congestion follows 1 the holiday, as the strikers call their 1 refraining from work, ends and they I report that they are ready to go back | to work. Then within two or three days another strike or so-called hodi- | cay is reported from another part oi the country. This was recently the | case in New Haven, Conn, and in one
 or two other places. When thess strikes are ended it is a certainty that
 others will be reported in different To- | calities so that it is now almost demon ] strated that master mind is direct ing these strikes and directing then
 with a strategy hitherto unknown The men themselves confess that they
 do not know why they have been cam. pelled to quit work. All that they dc
 know is that command has come tC them to talk a holiday and like sol
 diers they are bound to obey com mands and ask no questions.
 1 All this seems to point to the cul- imitation of a movement which has fol 1 it's purpose the unification of vas majority of the railroad workers in the
 United States.

Daily Financial Gossip
ny HOLLAND.

New York, June 2S.-(SpeciaD .-One million tons of steel are waiting trans portation from the Pittsburg and Youngstown, O., iron and steel manufac- turing district. It is finished steel and should have been at it's various destina- tons weeks ago. Instead of that, it is now gradually yielding to the assaults o fthe weather, although the deteriora- tion is slight. The manufacturers can not tell when this steel will be shipped and the customers are awaiting it anx- iously, although some of them are ex- periencing like endorsements because of the difficulty of getting their prod ucts from the plants to the markets. This enforced embargo is due almost entirely to railroad conditions. and these conditions are themseleves in some part due to strikes, but not entirely
 The Carnegie plants at Pittsburg quire about 800 cars every day for the distribution of the products of the plants to the various markets. But in- Pstead of 800 the company has been for tunate if as many as $50 cars are se- cured for each day. Therefore they say: What avails production if distribution is meeting with such an embargo as the Carnegie products are now experience ing?'
 The hope gradually is strengthened, however, that III the course OI lne Sutil- mer, perhaps by the first of August this halting in the distribution of products will be ended or at least partially re- lieved. At present, however, it does IT, tail some uncertainty of outlook into business conditions, at least manufac- turing conditions.
 The steel industry is not the only one which is meeting with embarrassment because of the lack of transportation facilities. One of the leading coal op- orators in the country said this morning that the various mines operated by his companies are now producing only l9 per cent of the normal output. The miners are ready and would be glad to work if they had opportunity. But it is useless to mine coal unless traffic fa- cilities are adequate. These companies have a full supply of able-bodied and able workers, yet the men are able to work on the average only about five days each month. The miners are in some distress on account of the lack of work. !rhe companies managers have found it necessary to furnish them food, look after their rent and to make good other necessaries of life. This curious condition arises at time when the de- mand for coal is unusually heavy and also at time when peace prevails with the miners themselves. But the railroad yards are clogged with cars which can- not be moved
 THE STORY OF CEMENT The manufacturers of cement can tell story which would perfectly match the tales that are told by some of the N3ders in the steel industry and also in the coal mining industry The demand for cement is very great.
