NEW ORLEANS COTTON.
 Ry Assoeiated press


 New Orleans. June 22.-1hc upward reaction in cotton continued today, the buying side being helped by the hurricane coming up the Texas coa st and which the latest reports stated was boring into the Texas cotto.i bolt. More or less buying was stim- ulated by a constant stream of boil weeyil complaints from the western belt and also by the weekly crop ac- counts from the governmen. which, while fairly favorable on the whole were not as favorable as expected and said rather more about the activities os the boil weevil. especially in Texas and Georgia, than anticipated. The opening was higher
 In sympathy with a better Liver pool than due, and the rise continued until it amounted to 3S to 43 points with July at 10.75e In the late trad ing recent buyers took profits and their selling finally reached such pro- portions that recesslons came about and the close showed net gains of but P to 2S points With July at 1G.59c
 Buying on the hurricane was done on the fear that the path of the storm through the cotton country would be marked by great damage to cotton fields and that, following the storm weevils would be spread in all direc- tions and that sensational damage would result
 The weather map showed consider able rain in the western belt and private messages fror. some points reported rain for the last two days while the forecast predicted rains for practically all parts of it, a..~of which intensified the effect os the boil weevil complaints coming in.

New York, June 22.-Less favorable weather crop advices combined with more hopeful view of the British labor situation, promoted further rallies in the cotton market today October contracts which had sod a. il 22c on the break of Monday ad vanced to 12.15c during todav's trad ing or 4S points above last nights closing figures This improvement was not fully maintained, but the market closed very steady in net advance of IS to 35 points wilh Octo- ber quoted at lf.91c bid.
 The early cables from Liverpool showed a better tone there with an increased volume of business which was regarded as reflecting reports that British coal miners were begin ming to weaken and that tneir ap- peals for the support of other work ers were meeting with very littl, re- sponse. The macket here opened firm at an advance of to 22 points and the covering movement was stim- ulated later by re ports that gulf storm was approaching the Texas coast and had already caused rains in the southwest This combined with a less favorable weekly report rom the weather bureau than antlcl- pated sent the active months about 2S to 43 points net higher during the early afternoon With July selling at l1.26c and December at 1s.6ac. The more urgent demand from stattarinY shorts then appeared to have been supplied and there were rather sharp ieactlons during the afternon in sym pathy with stocks and as -esult of realizing by early buyers for turn Trade interests were moderate buy CTS late in the day, giving the market steady undertone at the close. The weekly report of the weather bureau noted further improvement ia a good many parts of the south but sad that the condition was still unsS tis- factory in many localities This cast doubt upon maximum views O. the probable showing of end June fig ures, particularly in view of the southwestern storm. Some southern selling was reported during the day but it was said to be difficult to buy uuhedged cotton in the south at pres ent prices. Port receipts today were 2S,s37 bales.

Buying Orders Cause Weak Market In Wheat After Early Aduance

 By Associated Press

Chicago. June 2.--Exhaustion of buying orders weakened the wheat market today after an advance due largely to continued unfavorable con ditions in the spring crop belt. The close was unsettled at the same as yesterdays finish to Ac lower, with July s12S1z @1.2Sa. and September s1.221a Q1 .22s4 Corn lost l4c to 7sc and oats gained hc to ssc. In pro- visions the outcome was unchanged to BOG lower.
 At first the wheat market was in- fluenced mainly by reports of high winds and excessive heat in the northwest, especially South Dakota, where leading exporter said the crop was deteriorating rapidly. Word that black rust had made ts appear ance in North Dakota counted, too, as a bullish. factor, and so likewise did temporary strength in the New York stock market and fear of har- west delays in Kansas. Trade, how ever, lacked volume, and in the last hour a dwindling of values took place. Pit longs who had done most of the buying earlier found no one to absorb their offerings at the last, Renewal of down-turns in the New York stock market appeared to have considerable to do with the late weakness in wheat.
 Declines in the price of corn were ascribed more or less to reports that carriers were having trouble to get sufficient storage space here Tor corn which had been bought Ad- verse crop reports upheld oats, Pro- visions reflected the downward ten dency of hogs:

The course of the market is still under the influence of the weather and the labor situation abroad. No signs of large short interests covering has been noted up to this time. There are still some large blocks of short cotton to be covered and any storm scare may cause the shorts to cover.

LIQUIDATION AT
 CLOSE CAUSED A | SLUMP IN STOCKS
United States Steel Unable to Hold Its Early Advance and Dropped to Heavy
 Close
By Associated Press

New York, June 22.-Stocks made further substantial recoveries in the carly and intermediate periods of to- days active dealings, but gains were largely or wholly dissipated in the fresh liquidation of the final hour.
 Features of the reaction included Bethlehem Steel, the coppers, junior motors and sugars. Some of these issues declined to points to new low records. Among the heaviest specialties were Sears Roebuck, which lost "A points, and Chicago Pneumatic Tool the latter dropping points on news of the reduced divi- dend, but rallying slightly later.
 Mexican Petroleum maintained it's reputation as the most volatile of all speculative favorites. The stock fluctuated in radium of points its extreme advance of 6% points ending with a net gain of a mere fraction
 United States Steel was the most active issue, rising 8 points above it's low record of the previous day but falling away with the general list at the heavy close. Other steels, as well as equipments, motors and the various specialties compris- ing the tobacco, leather and food di- visions. manifested similar unstable tendencies.
 Reading and the high grade trans continentals featured the additional advance of the railway group, to- gether with many minor issues of the western and southwestern territories, but reductions were also general In those stocks.
 The money market and foreign ex- change played no part in the day movements. Call money and tune funds were unchanged and the lead ing exchanges were only lightly dealt in.
 Bonds followed the confusing course of the stock market. Liberty issues were irregular and domestic rails inclined to additional hrmness' Mixed gains and losses were regis tered by international issues. Total sales, par value. s12,375,o0o.
