Heavy Buying by Seaboard
Connections Brings Bulge
OF 5 Cents.

CHICAGO, June 10. Resumption
Of buying of July wheat by houses
with seaboard connections and gen.
eral buying by local traders who
went short at the close yesterday
resulted in a bulge of around cents
in the July from the finish of the
previous day. while July was up 3h
cents. Offerings were not large, and
while harvesting was reported as
having started at Abilene, Kans., the
lack of pressure of cash grain and
further rains in various parts of the
belt. combined with a bullish con-
struction placed on the Inglis and
easily attained. The best prices
were not maintained, as profit-tak-
ing was strongly in evidence on the
bulge. Outside trade remains quiet.
Country offerings of new wheat are
small, and premiums on old spot

as compared with the finish of yes
terday, with sales at 90 cents over
the July for No. 1. Export demand

Corn and oats were lower early
on a continuation of scattered liQui-
dation, but the decline brought in
good support. and a rally to above

LIBERTY BONDS
SCORE SHARP RISE
Securities Reach S9.10 Before
Stopped by Rebound; Re-
action Slight.

NEW YORK. June 1o.-The bond
markets outstanding feature today
was practically its only feature
a sharp rise in Liberty avs. They
closed at $3.50 yesterday. went
down to ss.ls in the early trading
today, and then rose rapidly 81
cents to ss.l0 before running into
supply sufficient to cause a re-
bound. The reaction was slight.
The 3iks sold as low as $500 early
last week and closed on Saturday
at SssS Within ten days there
have been four sharp turns due in
great measure to speculation
which was thought yesterday to
have switched to the Victory AIS.
When the SIS became active today
the 4&s dropped back to an mac
tive position, moving within an ex-
tremelv narrow range of the Thurs
day closing price of ss.40. The
same may be said of the other Lib
erty issues, notably the third and
fourth AXIS. There was little in the
movement of European external
bonds to command attention. prices
holding steadily at yesterdays
levels. United Kingdom bonds
alone displayed a weak tone. the
5ks of 1929 dropping to seA. and
those maturing in 1887 down to
s3A. Further selling was noted
in the Mexican SIS. which reacted
little over a point to IS. a price
which compares with a high of 4sS
yesterday and with 5ok- ally this
week.
Railroad and industriaIs issues
were barely steady. Chesapeake
and Ohio convertible SIS and 4Iks
eased a slight fraction. Dupont
7i.s recovered from yesterdays
weakness. going to es. Hudson
and Manhattan income SIS declined
mose than half a point. Another
heavy issue was the Missouri Pa

clined to 5lSs.

COTTON SUFFERS
SHARP LOSSES
Dull Liverpool Trade and Un-
favorable Weather Brings
Sagging Tendency.

NEW YORK June io.-The Liy-
erpool markets were again dull to-
day and-as the weather conditions
throughout the cotton belt continue
favorable for the development of
the new crop, with more good rains
in Texas and the central part Of
the belt-incentives were still lack
ing for much new local or outside
buying. This gave the market a
sagging tendency from the opening,
as there was a small preponderance
of local and southern selling over
what buying support there was in
the market. Prices started at about
yesterdays closing and gradually
worked off to about IL to IL points
from those quotations by $40 p. m.
July was again under pressure at
times during the day from liquida-
tion as the contract stock here is
now up to about 900 bales out
of total warehouse stock Of near
ly 10000 bales. or six times as
great as a year ago. With the trade
demand slack and plenty of cotton
at the nearby terminal points in the
central and eastern parts of the
belt, those long of July contracts
are now inclined to either liquidate
them entirely or transfer their
holdings from that month to the
new crop deliveries.
July sold lown to l2.45c this aft =
ernoOn, against 13.e4c for October
of the new crop; December l373c.
and January to 1885, from which
there was little rally in the final
trading. At some points in Texas,
Arkansas and Louisiana today good
rains ranged from Ia to . inches.
This will stand the crop in good
stead for any dry and hot period
which usually occurs in the cotton
states after the middle of June. 1t
is expected the east gulf and At
lantic states will also be favored
with good rains over the weekend.
There was nothing new in the
late cables on the labor trouble be-
tween the British cotton mill work
ers and the mill operators. The
British board of trades statement
on the exports of yarns and cloths
for the month OF May showed little
improvement. Exports OF yarns for
May were 5000. 900 pounds. against
the same amount in April and a.
100000 in May last year and 10000
200 in 1919: while the exports of
cloths totaled $4,000. 900 yards in
May. against 1905. 900 for April,
443. 100000 in May last year, and
253.o00.0O0 last year. Liverpool
houses did very little business ~
contracts either way here today
Southern spot markets were a little
easier in sympathy with the mod
crate decline in futures here and
at New Orleans
On the British board of trades
statement the total exports of yarns
from January to the end of May
amount to $4,000, 900 pounds. against

Ject of recognition.
So far as domestic conditions are

note OF confidence in business af-
fairs ever since President Hard

letters from the big business men

Clearly shown every day.
steel Outlook Hopeful,
The statement of the United
States Steel corporation in respect
of its untitled orders on hand
showed decrease as of May 81 of
362,737 tons
1t Is estimated that cancellations
ter the month did not reach 100, 900
tons, which j" an indication that
the weaker contracts have been
eliminated and that there is greater
confidence of steel consumers to-
ward the future outlook.
The true explanation of the de-
cline in securities offered on the
stock market is the lack of buying
capacity. There is still an enormous
amount of money tied up in frozen
loans. and until the business of the
country begins TO get under way
with a little more activity it Is
difficult to see where the support
can come from. Practically every
thing on the list is selling below its
intrinsic value. and 1t would need
very little encouragement to starr
a substantial upward movement
