Coffee Market By Associated Press

New Orleans Cotton

New Orleans, June 15.--The early part of the session in the cotton mar ket today produced a selling movement that carried prices 33 to 40 points under the close of yesterday. but during the second half there was much covering of the short interest, particularly Tn the new crop months and the market except on July, was sent from net de- clines to net advances. July at it's best stood at 37.92c. or 8 points under the close of yesterday, but the new crops at their best were F to "A points over Closing prices were 10 points down tc 9 points up, net for the session.
 The recovery was based on two things, the desire of recent short sell ing for their profits and the evident fear on the short side that the con tinued dry and hot weather might lead to crop complaints that would rival the complaints which earlier in the season followed excessive rains There was much gossip on the floor of the exchange today of what hot winds in the belt would do sentiment
 The weather map, IS usual of late, was very favorable. being clear, warm and dry in all sections of the belt, and the forecast called for no change from these conditions. Reports from many sections were that the plant was grow ing very fast under high temperatures and a moist soil and Texas reports confirmed recent predictions that the first bale might be expected around June 20. Favorable crop and weather reports and poor cables stimulated the early selling.

Corn Firmed Up on Prospects of Falling
 Off In Future Receipts
Oats Finished at Good Gains, While Provisions Were Unchanged
 to Twelve Cents Lower
By Associated Pres,

Chicago, June 15.-Prospects of a falling offs In receipts after this week out did by in the corn market to- day the bearish effect of larger i'm mediate arrivals than had been ex- pected. As result. prices closed strong. 3Bc to 37sc net higher, with July Sl.773s to S1.77M and September s1.679s to S16S. Oats finished at A c to 14sc advance, and provisions un- changed to 12c lower.
 At first the corn market showed considerable weakness owing to the fact that today's receipts totaled 240 cars an aggregate which was general the bulls. There was an active de- mand from shippers. though it was not long before number of leading com mission houses turned to the buying side
 Meanwhile. attention focused main ly on gossip that this week would end the increased movement of supplies from rural sources and that for the next two months receipts would be light, pending completion of the wheat, oats and hay harvest. A big southern cotton trader, recently conspicuous as short in corn. was said to have GOV cred with great freedom during the last hour.
 Oats reflected the strength of corn. rains had some bearish influence but not of a lasting sort.
 Provisions were weak with hogs.

RALLIES FOLLOWED
 EARLY DECLINES IN THE COTTON MARKET
General Market Closed Steady, Net Ten Points
 Lower to Three
 Points Higher
By Associated Press

New York June 15.-Eearly declines
 were followed by rallies in the cotton market today owing to apprehension
 that high temperatures in eastern
 belt sections might continue and lead
 to a renewal of unfavorable crop ac- counts. October contracts sold up
 from 34.53c to S5.09c, closing at S4.90c.
 with the general market closing
 steady, net 10 points lower to points
 higher.
 The market opened barely steady at
 decline of 12 to 25 points under a
 renewal of the recent selling move ment.
 Offerings were encouraged by lower
 cables. unfavorable Manchester trade
 advances and a favorable view of the
 early weather map with reports of frn-
 proving crop conditions in some east ern belt sections. There was some trade calling in July and exporters were credited with moderate purchases of October, but the early market was weak under southern, Wall Street and local selling, the latter reflecting a stronger bearish sentiment around the ring. July sold off to 37.60c and De- cember to 33.40c. making declines of about 30 to 40 points on active posi- tions and of over 24c Q pound from recent high records on early new crop deliveries. Pressure then became less active and underlying nervousness over the crop outlook was brought to the surface by the detailed weather re- ports showing hsgh temperatures in Georgia and the Carolinas.
 There seemed to be no apprehension
 of immediate damage, but the market
 feared that a few days of dry hot
 weather would bring in renewed com plaints and prices rallied quickly, July selling up to 3S.04c and December to
 3393c, or about to 22 points net higher on the general list. The bulge met either realization or renewed pres- sure and was not fully maintained with near months relatively easy in the late trading. Exports today were 6,61S bales, making 6.0S4,431 so far this season. Port receipts, 4,971. United States nort stocks 60.505.

[ must undertake and are undertaking.
 On the third day of the republican convention syndicate of banks and prlVate bankers announced the com
 pletlon of negotiations for financing
 the needs in one case of a railroad company and in the other of a city of
 the midwest the aggregate of which was S19,00O, 900. Later in the summer railway securities issues must in or
 der to make them negotiable, obtain the approval of the interstate com merce commission. But the impress
 sion prevails that the commission will not procrastinate as in the past 1t sometimes did but will aid in facili-
 tating the financing of railroad se- curities. providing. of course that the propositions are regarded as reasoh- able by the commission.
 It is spoken of as somewhat unusual that at time when a railroad com pany reduces it's long-maintained divi- dend as the Chicago and Northwestern recently did it should also have been
 able, through the aid of bankers, to market S15,00O,0O0 in bonds bearing per cent interest Later in the year
 another railroad must be prepared to
 meet obligations amounting to $20,- OOO,O0O and no one is able to forecast the number of railroads which will be in the market between these mid
 summer days and the coming of the
 frost for the purpose of securing funds with which to make improvements, se- cure equipments and to perfect ter
 minal facilities.
 CITY OF HIGH CREDIT
 The treasury department offers cer- tificates of Indebtedness to run one
 year upon which interest at the rate
 of per cent is to be paid. But this
 does not mean that the credit of the
 government is impaired. So also the
 city of Cleveland. whose credit Is very
 high, nevertheless, in seeking a mar
 ket for s4,000,000 in gold bonds, found
 1t necessary to allow interest at the
 rate of per cent in order to market
 these bonds with a syndicate of bank
 CTS If Cleveland is compelled to pay
 at the rate of 6 per cent in order to sell its bonds to a banking syndicate or to the public. it is reasonable to assume that the City of New York, if It approaches the market, as 1t prob- ably will within a short time, for the purpose of securing the sale of $50,- 000,000 in bonds will also be com pelled to pay interest at the rate of
 at least F per cent, and probably as
 much as per cent.
 So again it Is demonstrated that, notwithstanding the excitement and perhaps the doubts which will be oc-
 casioned by the presidential campaign, financing upon an enormous scale will be carried on. The banks will
 have a very heavy burden and yet they
 are undoubtedly to realize even
 greater prosperity this year than was
 their good fortune even during war
 days. One evidence of that is the very
 large expenditure banks are making
 on improvements in buildings, and
 another is the proposition for an in-
 crease of capital stock of one of the
 larger banks, an increase which the
 stockholders are sure to accept be-
 cause it will justify the colloquial term
 "cutting a melon" this melon, meas
 ured in dollars appointing to about
 $200 for each share.

lEASy MONEY WAS
 APERTURE DURING
 DULL TRADING DAY
Pools Were All That Bol- stered Up the Stock List, With Professionals In
 Charge
Ru Assnofatah pr.,,


 New York, June 15.-Almost the only noteworthy feature of today's som nolent stock market session was the relative ease of money. Call loans ruled at per cent, regardless of the enorm- ous transfers of cash incidental to pay ments of Income and excess profits taxes.
 Time money quotably was unal- tered, but canvass of leading banks and other lending institutions failed to disclose more than meagre offer ings. These gains were mainly in the form of mid-year renewals for thirty and sixty days.
 Stocks derived their sole support and occasional upward impetus from pools, the professional element being unusually active in specialties, embrac- ing the chemical division, where gains attained substantial proportions.
 Higher quotations for independent steels and kindred equipments were traceable to the same influences. Their purchase proceeded in part from the belief that the result of the Chicago convention favors the steel industry.
 Crucible Steel was a conspicuous ex- ception to the general industrial list. at one time showing a loss of about 10 points under constant hammering but recovering almost half it's loss when pressure relaxed.
 Better advices respecting the Mexi- can situation restored part of yester- days loss in that branch of the oil group, motors also making moderate gains with shippings. Rails owed their perfunctory rally to favorable crop prospects and unofficial denial of re- cent adverse dividend rumors.
 There was a marlNd decline of deal ings in the bond, market, prices in gen. ,era1 easing. Early reactions in Liberty bonds and Victory notes were par tially recovered. International issues, including Anglo French 5's were com paratively steady. Total sales, par value, aggregated s11, 650, ,000
 Old U. S. bonds were unchanged on call.
