1t was because Of this leadership OF

designated in Representative Bren-

have not kept themselves informed re-

new art of communication. They do

EXCESSIVE HEAT
 IN WHEAT BELT
 SENDS UP PRICES
All Three Grains Made Good Advances, While the Pro- visions Outcome Was
 Rather Varied
By Associated Preas

Chicago June 14.-Brisk upturns in the price of wheat today accompanied reports of excessive heat west and southwest and of black rust north west. The market closed strong K to 2%c net higher with July s1.12h to s1.12A and September $112% to $1.13. Corn gained 11h to 1ssc to 2H c and oats %@h to 1%c. In provi- sions, the outcome varied from Pc de- cline to 7c advance.
 Temperatures ranging up to 1o4 in western Nebraska together with as- sertions that wheat near Salina, Kan sas was turning white as a result of the hottest June weather for years gave the wheat market a sudden im- petus toward higher levels soon after trading began. Later reports from the southwest made further mention of blight and told of premature ripen- ing of winter wheat in parts of Kan sas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Accord ing to a. leading authority, the Kan sas crop in particular was at criti- cal stage, susceptible to any unfav- orable influence. With government agents confirming the presence of black fust in North Dakota and with a prominent expert saying that the spring crop was two weeks late, but gave sharper attention today to news from the northwest as well as the field departments in other sections.
 Traders however, were chiefly ap- prehensive regarding winter crop damage. Profit taking near the end of the day led to but little reaction. I-1 .1- -I- .f.- S ticeabie increase of volume com pared with what has been the rule of late.
 Corn and oats derived their strength almost entirely from the action of the wheat market

RECOVERIES MADE AND SOME PROFIT

Higher Trend Was Manifest From the Outset and Con- firmed Idea Mondays Set
 back was a Help
Rx Associated Press

New York, June 14.-Sub1ect to in- tervals of profit taking. additional recoverles of to 3 points aecompa- nied today's moderately active and very broad stock market. extensive covering of short contracts being a pronounced factor. Sales amounted to ,o00 shares.
 The higher trend was manifest from the outset and confirmed the growing conviction that Monday s sharp set back was really in the na- tura of a much needed readjustment of an unwieldly technical position
 Oils, motors and rails were the most prominent features but the movement also encompassed many of the motor subsidiaries, feathers, textiles, cop pers, utilities, food speeialties and issues of no especial classification were f1rmer but net gains of l to 2 points were made by many leaders. Studebaker was the outstanding fea- ture, retaining the better part Of ita advance of almost points.
 Call money opened at 3 per cent, that quotation prevailing until the session was we'll spent, when the rate rose to { per cent presumably as result of tomorrow's heavy drain on local banks to meet federal interest payments.
 Resumption of dividends on Sinclair oil and an increase of the regular disbursement on Dome mines were among the days favorable incidents, but the failure of the New York Gen. tral directors to declare an increased dividend was something of disap- pointment.
 Shippings shared moderately in the days business. but those issues were retarded by the poor annual state ment of International Mercantile Ma rine company, coupled with the pes- simistic views of that company's chief executive respecting the current years operations.
 Improvement In the principal for eign exchanges was general, but quite moderate. Sterling rates were half a cent over yesterdays low quotations and the allied remittances were to points higher, German marks also showing some firmness. Most of the neutrals added to yesterdays declines. however. and the Greek rate was heaviest of all eastern European cur rencies.

UNCERTAINTY WAS FEELING IN COTTON MARKET YESTERDAY
General List Closed Steady at a Net Loss of Four to TWenty-one Points on
 the Days Turnover
By Associated Press

New York, June 14.-Yesterday's 8 sudden and sharp rally was followed by evidences of renewed hestitation or uncertainty in the cotton market today, although there was partial recovery from an early decline. Oc- tober contracts sold of to 21.ssc, or 45 points net lower. but closed at 21.62c, with the genera! market clos ing steady at net loses of to 21 points.
 Tho market opened barely steady at an advance of 1 point on Septem- Der but generally 15 to 1s points lower owing to relatively easy Liver pool cables and reports of good weather in the south.
 Most initial loses were recovered during the early trading, but the market weakened again after the publication of less unfavorable weekly weather report than looked for, This evidently promoted ,liqui- dation of scattering long accounts which included a good deal of ceiling for Wall Street account, and for a time the market was weak and un- settled with July selling off to 2f.4sc and October to 21.16 or about B to 45 points net lower on the general list.
 Scattering reports that the crop was already showing some improve ment in parts of Texas and the Caro- linas probably contributed to the break, but the volume of selling tapered off during the middle of the afternoon and the market rallied In the late trading on trade buy Ing and covering. Last prices showed re- coveries of 20 to 35 poin.s from the lowest with July relatively firm on reports of a good spot demand and small offerings in some oI the east ern belt markets.
 Private cables said tho decline in Liverpool was due to less active trade demand and reports that Man chester was doing only very moderate business. The census re- port showing domestic mill con sumption of 495,274 ba-es for May. compared with 440,714 with the same month last year attrao ed some bul- fish comment but was considered without much influence on the im- mediate market. Ports receipts were 9,232. Port stocks 4S2,64.. Exports today S,276, making 5,431 ,006 so far this season.
