 Curb Market Feature
Rv AasocIated Presx

New York, June-The attitude taken by Senator LaFoIlette was used As basis for pressure against the oil stocks on the curb exchange today and those issues were in large enough supply to show material losses during the first half of the day.

SHORT COVERING SENT UP WHEAT IN
 SPITE OF REPORT
Corn and Oats Were About Balanced While the Provis- ions List Showed Some
 Good Gains
By Associated Press

Chicago, June S.-Although most wheat traders had figured out cor rectly in advance the bearish nature of the government crop report this afternoon, the market took an up- ward turn at the last today as re- suit of covering by shorts who want ed to prepare for any bullish sur prise. Closing quotations were un- settled at the same as yesterdays finish to 11zc higher. with July s1.14 ro $1.14b and September s1.13B to SI14. Corn finished unchanged to B@Ae up, oats unchanged to a shade advance and provisions at gains of 2l2 to 10412ac.
 1t was only in the final hour of trading that the wheat market got above yesterdays close. Aside from private crop estimates very near to the contents of the government. bene- ficial rains in the northwest tended to make values here decline at first, and so too, did failure of the Liver pool market to respond to yester days advance in America. Another bearish factor was announcement that harvesting of wheat was in progress as far north as Vineennes, Indiana.
 Enlarged demand for cash wheat in all positions, however, helped in some degree to lift prices during the late dealings. No. ? hard wheat sold at 112e better premium today, and exporters bid Sc over July eff Buffalo for that grade. Millers were out bidding exporters, though de- sirlng smaller amounts than seaboard

COTTON MARKE I. SHOWED STRENGTH. ON MORE RAIN NEWS
General Staple Close Was Steady at a Net Advance of 20 to 25 Points on the
 Days Business
By Associated Press

New York, June S.-The cotton market showed renewed strength and activity today on further rain news from the south and reports of an in- creasing inquiry for cotton goods, ac- companied by rumors of mill buying in the raw materials markets. There. was some hesitation early. but after selling off from 21.3S to 21.04c, Octo- Der advanced to 2f.95e or 7s points above the closing price of yesterday and cents per pound above the low price touched last Friday. There was heavy realizing later and October closed at 21.53c or 42 points off from the best, with the general market closing steady at a net advance of 20 to 35 points.
 The market opened steady at 8 decline of five points on January, but generally to 13 points higher In response to relatively steady Liver pool cables and overnight buying orders. AS soon as the latter had been executed prices eased off under liquidation by yesterdays buyers who seemed to feel that the weather map showed less precipitation than antici- pated and that the prospect was for clearing weather in the belt. July sold down from 21.3s to 20.9Sc and December from 21.24 to 20.9Sc or IT to 22 points net lower, but the mar ket turned firm following the publi- cation of the detailed weather report confirming private rain news and re- ports from the uptown goods district that inquiries were being received from bot hbrokers and the interior which probably would result in large sales of cotton goods should raw ma terial markets hold. For a time the buying was very active and excited a good many stop orders being un- covered as prices advanced into new high ground for the movement on July and for the season on new crop months. July sold at 21.91e and De- cember at 21.S5c, making net ad- vances of about 63 10 73 points on the general list. As soon as this buying subsided, the market showed the ef- fects of heavy realizing sales with last prices some 80 to 42 points off from the best. Port receipts today 22,529. United States port stocks S56,227. Exports 23.094, making 5,373,972 so far this season. Tomor- row will be holiday in the Liver pool market.

 Ry Assocfated Presa

New Orleans. June S.-Strong ad- vances were again made by cotton today, after q period of unsettled trading in the early part of the ses- sion. and prices were sent to new high levels, July touching 21.S6c pound. In the late trading the mar ket turned rather soft under heavy liquidation sales from the long side and the close was at 21.45c on July. were 6S to 80 points over the close of yesterday, while last prices were but 2; to 3S points up.
 The strong upswings of the day were due mainly to more wet weather In the belt and to increasing com plalnts of the numbers of boil weevli and their damage to fields of cotton which had produced young squares. Many localities, both in the eastern and the western divisions of the belt. claimed that the weevil was taking the squares as fast as they were formed.
 In the late trading liquidation of long contracts by traders who wanted their profits was hastened by the rumor received by local brokers that the German loan had been abandoned. Comment on the floor of the exchange also was that Chicago interests were heavy sellers. In the early trading. following an advance of 21 points on July, there were moderate recessions. Followed by recoveries and further reactions, all on a small scale. the market at its lowest standing 16 ia IS points under yesterdays close, wISh July off to 20.91. The subseouent rise carried the price nearly a hun dred points up from the lowest.
