COTTON DECLINED;
 TRADE BUYING AS
 PRICE GOES DOWN
General Market Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Twenty five to Thirty-eight Points
 on Days TurnoverS

New York, June 5.--An early de- cline of some 30 to 40 points in the cotton market today was attributed to selling on expectations of the usual June improvement in crop con ditlons. Considerable trade buying was encountered just below the 20c level for December contracts, how ever, and after selling at 19.95c that delivery rallied to 20.1Sc on covering. It closed at 20c with the general mar ket closing steady at net decline fs25 to 3S points.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of Is to 21 points under New Orleans and local selling pro- noted by a favorable weather map and the long range forecast for gen. orally favorable weather In the south this week. Therelwas also somc scat tered southern selling which showed tendency to increase on slight ral- lies andthe, market was nervous and unsettled during the morning with prices selling off to 20.20c for July and 20.03c for october or 30 to 43 points net lower on the general list. The relatively easy ruling of July was attributed to selling by spot peo- pie against purchases of October, and probably increased the disposition to l1QuluaIe long contracts Tn later months on the more favorable weather news. A better demand de- veloped around the 20c level, however. with the trade a moderate buyer, and the market firmed up during the early afternoon on covering by early sellers who seemed to be somewhat disturbed by the apparent ease with which their offerings had been ab- 1sorbed on the forenoon decline. Most months male new high prices for the day in the late trading, with October selling at 20.07c or 24 points up from the lowest and within 14 points of last weeks closing quotations. Last prices were a shade off from the best under scattered realizing. owing to the Whitsuntido holidays the Liverpool market was closed.

EARLY DIPS IN THE
 STOCK LIST MET BY
 GAINS IN LEADERS
U. S. Steel Was the One Prom ising Feature Among Lead CTS, Going to Record
 at the Close
nr Aesociated Fress

New 1Ofk, June h.-CiIetlnBs pA market leaders frequently exceeded the buying power of the stock ex- change today, these conflicting movements causing considerable un- certainty throughout the session. Cross currents were most pro- nouneed among the popular oils. steels. rails and numerous miscel- laneous stocks. Early declines of l to 4 points in such issues were balanced by gains of like extent. but the forces of reaction were in con trol at the markets close. Sales amounted to 100000 shares.
 Incidents over the weekend, not ably the publication given to the promotions phases of the Republic Midvale- Inland steel merger and the extravagant speculation of pools in comparatively obscure specialtits, provoked fresh short selling and liquidation for the long account.
 These tendencies became moro ob- vious in the last half of the trading periods on the news that the federal trade commission had taken steps to prevent the merger of the Bethle- hem and Lackawanna steel com- panies. Rumors then current in the financial district declared that ac- tion aiming at the abrogation of other projects of similar character would be taken by the federal au- thorities.
 United States steel was the one promising feature among leaders. rising to a new high for two years at 1031a in the final hour. but the so-called independents closed at net losses of 1 to 2 points. oils rally ing moderately on the strength shown by Standard Oil of New Jer- sey. Lake Erie and Western com rails at a 4-point gain and DuPont was foremost among specialties. adding 6A points to last weeks gain of almost 25 points.
 Constructive features of the day embraced another buoyant rise in sterling exchange, easier money rates. further advances in prices of crude oil products and optimistic trade reports from interior centers.
 Call money opened at 4& per cent, refleeting last weeks expansion of clearing house loans, but the rate gradually eased to SA per cent. Conditions affectinF time money were nnaltered, accommodations again being limited to 30 and 60 days at 1 E per cent.
 The high rate for the day for Londe der and exchange was 4,50M per cent, but that quotation was shaded later as buying diminished. All the allied quotations were firm and duties and Scandinavian bills re- covered part of last weeks reversal, but German marks were almost points under their recent maximum.
