CORN PRICES BREAK ALL THIS SEASONS
 RECORDS IN CHICAGO
Oats Finished at Fractional Gains, While Provisions List Lost Five
 to Ten Cents
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 21.-Breaking of high price records for the season continued today in the corn market despite aggres- sive selling. The new upturn of values appeared to be due chiefly to the fact that receipts were much smaller than had been looked for There was an un- settled finish at 1zda4c net advance, with July sLs2%@1s2h and September s1.T2Q l.72A.
 Oats closed unchanged to hc higher Provisions lost 5 to 10 cents.
 Bulls in corn had the advantage throughout the day except at the open
 ing. Weakness at the outset was occa- stoned by fresh strike troubles on east ern roads and by consequent embargoes against freight shipments Active com mission house buying, however, found ing that subsequent fluctuations were numerous the general trend was upward good deal of the heavy selling on the bulge was credited to leading eastern specuator. Friends of higher prices had to contend also with generally accepted opinion that receipts tomorrow would be fairly liberal, and that more grain was ! in transit than many traders would of . late have deemed probable.
 Favorable crop reports kept the oats market relatively easy.
 Lower quotations on hogs weakened provisions. Packing interests were sell CTS and gave special attention to lard.

New York Futures By Associated Press
New Orleans Cotton By Associated Press

New Orleans, June 21-Selling pres sure opened the trading in cotton today and persisted throughout the session, the heaviest offerings coming in the last fifteen minutes of business with the result that the close was practically at the lowest, showing losses of 103 to 111 points, July winding up at 36.75o and October at 34c. The main reason for the selling was the comparatively dry weather map and the forecast of dry weather for every state in the belt Increasing the disposition to sell was the unfavorable foreign political news and the cablegrams from Liverpool stating that the market had weakened under unfavorable account from the Manchester textile market.
 The weather map was much less wet than expected, only scattered and light showers being indicated over the belt, leading to the claim that the rains at the end of last week were more favor- able than otherwise, since they were net long continued. The opening was lower under private reports ot & bet ter turn in the weather. Selling in- creased when the weather map was drawn and became more liberal after the posting of the forecast. Heaviest selling, late in the day, appeared to be due to the unloading of some of the long contracts taken on late last week when spell of excessive rains, was feared.

, Senator German beneved that 1T | there were adequate means of distri- button of the many commodities pro duced throughout the United States,
 production would take care of itself. He often said that he feared lest pro | duction would surpass the facilities for distributing products to the various markets. He asserted that the one predominant question at that time be
 fore the people of the United States so far as economic conditions and prosperity were concerned was the question of distribution. In order to secure adequate distribution, the rail- road companies must be encourag ged,
 he said, to expend .. every reason able way, also to make improvement l in their roadbeds and in their equip
 ment, which should reach the highest standards.
 In spite of Senator Germans earnest appeals. little attention was paid to them, perhaps because the people at 1 that time were beginning to cherish resentments against railroad compa-
 nies, resentments for which some rail- road managers were in part responsi- ble.
 WHAT JAMES J. HILL SAID few years agter Senator German urged the improvement of distribu- ton facilities. James J, Hill asserted that unless the railroads of the Unit . ed States received fresh capital amounting in the aggregate to billions whereby they could greatly improve their terminal facilities. as well as their operating methods, then it would be inevitable that more traffic would be offered to the railroads than they could handle. and painful congestion would follow.
 For several reasons, some of then; political some of them due to mis- understandings by the public of what the proper relation between the pub lie and the railroad should be, some of them traceable to the inability of the railroad to secure fresh capital and some of the emergencies of the war, chaos in transportation began and it is reflected seriously in the embarrassment some of the business interests of the United States are now meeting with. The report which has come to New York from the far north west furnishes good illustration of these embarrassments and the reasons why they exist
 The impression prevails in business circles and in the financial district that was the presidential election cam paign progressives it will be made clear to campaigners in both parties that the predominant immediate issue is based upon the best means of quick ening the railroads of the United States. of making it possible for them to gain financial assistance and that it will be a triumph for the next ad- ministration. whether it be republican or democratic. if in it's early years this railroad emergency be needed and fur thermore, if it will be that to be the truth, as many of the leaders believe it will be. that the rails instead of being in depression. will be entering an era of abundant prosperity so that distribution of the products of the country will be equal to the demands made for the handling of these prod ucts

New York, June 1.-The feature in the market for coffee futures today was
 renewal of July liquidation, evidently in preparation for the possibility of mo-
 tfces on Friday. No material change was reported in the spot situation or in the price views of Brazilian shippers, but the weakness of the near month pro- noted scattered selling in later deliver les and prices eased off to 14c for July and 1S.95c for December, with active months showing net losses of 14 to 20
 points. The close was at the lowest of the day, with net decline of 15 to 23

GENERAL SELLING
 IN COTTON MARKET WITH ONE-CENT DROP
The Selling Lis t Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Ninety-five to One
 Hundred and Five

New York, June 21.-Prospeets for clear ing weather were followed by a renewal of more or less general selling, and the break of approximately 1c a pound in
 the cotton market here today. Prices not only lost the improvement of late last week, but made new low ground for the movement. with October contracts selling down to S4.O7c, or the lowest price touched since the publication of the end-M May con- dition figures. That delivery closed at S4 20e, with the general list closing steady
 at net decline of 95 to 105 points
 The market was weak from the opening Evidently the buying movement of late
 last week had been based more upon fear that rainy weather would continue than upon a belief that there had been any serious damage To crop prospects, at any rate, the outlook for celarng condi- t!ons, combined with lower Liverpoo, cables and unfavorable goods trade led 1 to liquidation by recent buyers and first prices were 24 to 37 points lower The selling became more active and general 1 later in the day as prices declined with 1 out attracting any support of importance, and stop orders were uncovered during the afternoon. Higher call money rates probably accounted for some of the Wall street selling, while there was also con- siderable pressure from New Orleans ana other southern points. July broke to | 36. 70c and December to B Ole, with the | general list showing net losses of ga 1 to 116 points in the late trading. The 1 close was only a shade up from the low. est on covering, Manchester cables stat | ed that the demand for goods was still l very slow, and that manufacturers were stopping looms in some instances owing ! to lack of orders, and with better weather | in the south local traders seemed to be l laying more emphasis upon unfavorable | features in the general business outlook. | Port receipts today, 4,027.

BANK STATEMENT AND TIGHT MONEY
 RATES FEATURED
Resumption of Outlaw" Railway Strike and Fresh European Trouble Did
 No Good on Street
BY Assoeiatnd Prnss

New York. June 2L-An unfavorabe bank statement. 2 sudden hardening of money rates, resumption of the outlaw railway strike and signs of fresh com plications in the eastern European situ- ation were among the burdens imposed upon today's irregular to heavy stock market
 Although the deficit revealed in last Saturdays statement of the clearing house was primarily due to heavy tax payments, and therefore subject to speedy correction, the loss of reserves was di- Iectly responsible for today's money furry. Call loans rose to Il per cent in the last hour, when the market was most reactionary.
 The strength of sterling exchange was almost the only constructive development of the session, although still unsupported by evidence of immediate gold imports from London or the far east.
 Financiers with important international connections attached little credence to reports that recessions to the Bank of Englands bullion holdings represented French gold. More likely it was believed the gold came from British provincial institutions.
 Shippings, steels and food issues, as rep resented by the sugar group, contributed mainly to the occasional upward trend of the market with a sprinkling of chem icals and textiles. A F point advance in Delaware, Lackawanna and Western was reduced to ? points at the close
 Liberty Bonds were irregular but inter nationals and the domestic list, as a whole, eased fractionally. Sales, par value, aggregated $l1, ,450,O00.

| New York, June 21.-(speciaL)-
 From the northwest has come a report
 to New York that many of the banks
 in the Ninth reserve district. of which Minneapolis is the financial center, and | the farmers of that district are griev-
 ously concerned because the elevators are carrying large amounts of wheat,
 because this wheat cannot be moved. l The farmers are calling upon the banks for aid and the banks feel that
 they must do all that is in their power to relieve a situation which is due al most entirely to the railroad conges- | tion.
 | Therefore. a situation has now arisen
 in the northwest which some of the great railroad leaders of the past fore | cast and which they strove earnestly | to avert through adequate prepara- ! tions Yet they were sometimes called visionary. not infrequently accused of having money making associations
