FEDERAL COTTON REPORT
NO MARKET STIMULANT

NEW YORK. June 4.-The feature
IN the cotton market during the past
week was the publication of the gov
ernment's first condition report of
the season. This was very closely in
line with the average of private re-
ports previously issued, however and
failed to stimulate the market. Evil
IDENTIFY Its lack of bullish effect was
disappointment to scattering hold
ers OF contracts and there were re-
actions following its publication.
Realizing or liquidation was promote ed
by reports of favorable weather in
the south. the continuance of the Brit
ish labor troubles and feeling that
holders OF spot cotton in the south
were willing to supply buyers on
comparatively slight advances Other
wise, however. no selling pressure
very quiet toward the end of the
week, with the undertone steady.
The. government report making the
condition of the crop Sc was fully
ten points below the ten-year aver
age. 1t gave no figures on the acre
age planted this year or the indicated
crop. but the private reports which
had made the condition 656 on the
average pointed to a reduction of 2O.7
per cent in acreage and placed the
indicated yield at only 100000 bales.
The opinion is expressed by local
brokers that the market has not vet
accepted such low figures as a serious
forecast Of the yield, and recent bet
ter weather has encouraged the hope
Of some such Improvement from the
late start as that which occurred
last season.

WALL STREET, N. Y. June A.
For the first hour of the market this
morning the same sort of bearish tao
tics were employed against the share
list as on preceding days, A number
Of industriaIs were driven down to
new lows. among them most Of the
oils. some of the sugars. the Pierce
Arrow issues among the motors. and
Rubber. Harvester and Corn Products
among the specialties.
While these. declines were going on

the general market.
In the last hour there was an ir-
regular recovery as short contracts
were covered. and parts of the mar
ket seemed to indicate an oversold
condition.
Sterling Weak.
Another very sharp fall occurred in
sterling exchange and had an unset
Ting effect upon continental rates.
Sterling was carried down even below

time to come the factors working for
recovery in exchange rates.

easily. being led on the decline by
California Petroleum and Pacific Oil,

record price Of S6 on Thursday, these
bonds rallied to $3.50 last night and
to $3.50 today. The fact that the re-
covery was quite as rapid as the pre-
