NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
 By Associated Press New York, June 17.-The market elos'
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 By AssocIated Press

New Orleans, June 17.--Sman de- cIfnes in the early trading in cotton today were succeeded by show Of strength which carried prices of most trading positions up to the highest levels of the week. The buy ing was due partly to reports of fur- ther rains during the day in south Texas and partly to the fear that more eastern sections of the belt would go to complaining should heat and drouth persist. From declines below yesterdays close of to lt points there was rise to levels 10 to 20 points over; July first failing to 21.SSc and then rising to 22.50c, finally closing at 22.16c. On the close prices were to 16 points net higher for the day.
 The weather map hardly showed as much rain in Texas as expected, as the result of the passage inland of the gulf disturbance, and this caused most of the early selling. Exports of 34S59 bales from Galveston caused bullish comment and enough buying to check the downward trend and bring about partial recoveries. After the middle of the session the de- mand increased to a marked extent and it was met by limited offerings so that the market rose rapidly for while.
 Weekend reviews of trade in gen. eral were looked upon as highly fav- crable, in connection with the week ly, statistical statement for cotton. and helped give the market very steady undertone.

Steel Demand
 Was Actiue For
 All Near Deliuery
Bx Associated Prna.

New York, June 17-The demand for steel continued active for near delivery and the rate of production is increasing despite the fuel situa- ton. which, however, causes constant uneasiness. Prices are firm, with an upward tendency owing to the in creasing cost of production. Pig iron is strong and in good demand, al- though quotations are irregular, ac- cording to position.
 Copper quiet and easier; presum- ably having supplied immediate reeds. foreign demand has diminished and domestic buyers are also hold ing off, which has led to some shad- ing of prices by second hands and small producers. It is reported that small lots of electroiytic have been sold at 13%o delivered. but the larger producers are holding at 1sHc to 14c. Production of refined, according to estimates, Is 1o0.00o,o0o pounds a month. including imports. The ex- ports this month have been approx imately 50,00o.000 pounds but are ex- pected to fall off.
 Tin sold off but rallied on the cut in the English bank rate, improved London cables and buying by deal CTS. Heavy shipments are reported from the straits.
 Lead is firm with little available for prompt delivery. except at a premium. Demand is slow.
 Zinc quiet but steady.

Further Downward
 Trend Sums Up the
 Week on Wall Street
Rx Associnted Press

New York. June 1.-The further downward trend of prices on the stock exchange this week amounting at times to serious depression, indi- cated more than an accession of bear ish influence.
 Extreme losses of 5 to 10 points in many standard shares, and eonsid- erably more in speculative issues. suggested urgent liquidation and the passing of paper profits, made in the rise the first of the year. Mode rate rallies In the final session with Mexicans leading resulted almost en- tirely from the announcement of an agreement for adjustment of Mexi- co.'s external obligations.
 The attenuated demand for cer- tain specialties evidenced by further, enforced closing out of margined acs counts, sounded the death knell of many pools and put an effectual quietus on the operations of ven- turesome individual traders.
 Industrials and miscellaneous stocks suffered most. but the decline embraced numerous junior or low priced rails which had won temporary favor largely on their speculative possibilities. Shorts used the more ominous aspects of the labor situa- tion to accelerate the reaction.
 Better class rails suffered compara- lively little serious pressure. but the weakness of shippings reflected con ditions in the American merchant

Grain Market Has :. Downw0rd Trend
 During Past Week
By Associated Press

Chicago. June 17-Selling to an- ticipate much enlarged arrivals of wheat in the southwest, where the harvest is nearly general. has carried prices downward this week in the market here. Compared with a week ago. wheat this morning was Bc to 4Ac off. corn 1sc lower to Ac higher. oats varying from Pc decline to shade advance, and provisions at dif- ferences which ranged from a set- back of 12@15c to a rise of Pc.
 Falling of values in the wheat market went to point where the question was seriously pressed as to whether returns were already below the cost of production. British dealers, however, were reported as cancelling purchases, and bears were contending that a bumper do- nestle crop of winter wheat appeared to be almost a certainty. At this juneture. news of excessive heat in the west and southwest. together with discovery of black rust, north west tended to rally the market somewhat. Word of premature ripening ofrwheat in parts of Kan sas, Oklahoma and Missouri became a special source of anxiety.
 Exports business which broadened out on the declines In the wheat market had something of reassur- ing influence on holders as the week drew to a close. About 100000 bushels were said to have been taken here to Europe during one period of 4S hours. Gossip was current that this particular purchase disposed Of the largest single accumulation or wheat which was delivered here in May, and which has since been act ing as a weight on the Chicago mar ket.
 Corn was sustained in price by evidence of continued rural demand for feeding. On the other hand, liberal supplies made the oat mar ket sag. e
 Provisions were governed mainly by changes in the price of hogs.

COTTON REACTION WASFOLLOWEDBY
 MORE FIRMNESS
The Market Closed Steady at a Net Advance of Ten to Seventeen Points on
 the Day
By Associated Press

New York, June 17.-Moderate re- actions were followed by firmness in the cotton market today with De- tober contracts selling up from 2t.7 ic to 22.o2c, and closing at 21.9Sc, con- pared with 21s5c at the close of yesterday. The market closed steady at a net advance of 10 to IT points.
 The market opened steady at an advance of to 10 points on over night buying orders. Not great deal of cotton was wanted, however and as soon as the early orders had been supplied prices eased off on in- dications that the gulf storm had disappeared with only little rain in extreme south Texas. In other re- spects the weather map was consid- cred favorable and there was scat tered southern selling as well as local selling on the early setback which carried July off to 21.82c and December to 2t.51c. or about to iz points net lower. Buying encouraged by yesterdays bullish week-en fig ures and favorable weekend re- views of the dry goods trade checked the decline and the market turned firmer in the mid-afternoon on the forecast for showery weather Tn Texas. Early sellers covered and there was some trade buying on the advance to 22 06c for July and 21.Soc for September, or. about IT to 9o points above yesterdays closing. Last prices were a few points off from the host under realizing.
 Manchester cable advices published this morning said general business prospects were encouraging and firm tone was reported in domestic goods markets. Sales of cloths Tn the Fall River market for the week were estimated at 200,00 pieces and the curtailment of production there was placed at 50,O00, or about the same as the previous week. Numer- ous reports continue to reach here from the south regarding heavy infestatlon of boil weevii and pros poets of damage from that source later in the season. According 10 local brokers apprehensions of this sort are modifying the market effect of better growing weather and talk of a probable improvement in the crops condition.

Fluctuations Were
 Wide and Variable
 This Week on Curb

New York, June 17.-Fluctuations on the curb were extremely wide and variable during the past week. On Monday Standard Oil of Indiana dropped from 1.10 to 1.03h, but had days. It was weak again in yester- days trading. followed by another rally. Standard oil of Kentucky was also weak on Monday and yesterday sold down to 92B. Imperial Oil of Canada ranged during the week from Hi to 107b. Anglo American, after selling at 23A dropped to 19h, with sharp rally yesterday.

Actiuity in Bonds
 Based on Stocks
nr A..nnIntad praan

New York, June 17.--I.ike the stock list, today's bond market owed much of its activity to the agreement reached between Mexico's fiscal rep resentatives and the international bankers committee.
 Mexican government 4s and 5s made additions to yesterdays sudden re- covery but those were cancelled in part on profit taking. There was some trading in issues of the national railways of Mexico. but changes in that quarter were not impressive.
 The demand for Liberty bonds was continued. the fourth scoring a new high at 100.i4. Final quotations in that group, however, showed nominal gains and losses.
 Changes among the speculative rails. industrials and utilities were narrow. transportations again inclIu- ing to ease because of the impending labor difficulties.
 Leading European loans showed further dullness and uncertainty, al though holding well, considering the renewed heaviness of most foreign exchanges. Total sales (par value) aggregated $S,649,000

CHICAGO GRAIN PIT HAS CLOSING BULGE YESTERDAY Wheat Closed at an Advance, While Oats and Corn Were
 Up and Down With
 Provisions

Chicago, June 17.-A closing bulge similar to the one yesterday was the only feature to an otherwise lifeless session in wheat on the board of trade today. Houses that were buy CTS late yesterday bought again to- day during the closing rally. The buying was believed to be for a big cash interest, which Is taking advan- tage of the technical condition of the market and force pit shorts to cover. At the finish wheat was 1s to Mc higher, July s1.11A to $1.11B and September $1.12A to $1.12A corn unchanged to 2c lower; oats were unchanged to hc off white provisions showed 7h to 12he de- cline.
 There was a lack of enthusiastic buying of wheat in the early trading. Scattrede showers were reported in Oklahoma and Kansas and tempera- lures throughout the southwest and central west were lower, although the forecast was for generally fair with rising temperatures. Disap- pointing threshing returns on wheat were received from Texas and Okla homa with mention of black rust damage in the latter state. Commis- sion houses bought September on moderate scale early and July came cut rather freely. tending to widen the difference somewhat.
 Corn and oats were dull. Local traders bought corn early while com mission houses sold and the market showed an easy undertone. Reports on oats continue poor but so far have had little effect on the market.
 Provisions were dull and easier with a light trade

Pittsburg Plus
 Again Attacked

Chicago, June 1.-The Pittsburg plus method of selling steel has added between s25.ooo,ooo and s5o.- ooo, 900 annually to the steel bill of farmers in II central western states. J. F. Howard. president of the Amer ican Farm Bureau federation, testified today at the final Chicago hearing of the federal trade commissions in- quiry into the practice of certain steel companies of adding the freight rate from Pittsburg to the point of de- livery to the price of all steel even though 1t was not shipped from Pittsburg.
 The hearings which have continued here for three months, will be re- sumed at Chattanooga, Tenn. Iune. 26.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-06-18

as showers are indicated for the western half of the belt over the week end, it is possible. if the rains materialize in the more northerIy sections of the western half of the belt over Sunday weevil may become more active in these parts.
 That the trade Is threatened with a possible famine in American cotton next season, is probable unless a large crop is made this year of at least 1s,Ooo,O0O bales.
 Unless the acreage this year is larger than yar cent increase over one year ago or about 33.sS5.0 0oo acres vs. 31.67s,000 last year, chances are the July bureau will not indi- cate crop over 11.56U.Doo bales H. & B. Beer.
