SHARP BREAK IN FLEECY STAPLE ON
 MORE LIQUIDATION
General Staple List Closed Barely Two to Nineteen Points Net Lower on the
 Days Turnover
By Associated Press

New York, June 1.-Further H. quidation for over the government crop report expected tomorrow led to rather sharp break in the cot ton market today. Just below the 20 cent level for October, however, rather better trade demand was reported and after selling off from 2o.sl to 1926 that delivery closed at 20.13. The general market closed barely steady at an advance of three points on January but generally 2 to 19 points net lower.
 The market opened steady at a decline of points to an advance of 5 and sold about s to It points net higher shortly after the call on re- ports of continued rains or showers in the south, relatively steady Liv- erpool cables and favorable reports from the goods trade. July sold up to 20.81 and December to 20.12, but the advance met increased offerings and pre-bureau liquidation became more active after the publication of
 
 and a less bullish weekly report than anticipated.
 For a time the market was ex- tremely nervous and unsettled with the decline catching stop orders. and before the break was checked July sold at 20.34 and December at 1883 with the general market showing net losses of 12 to 31 points. This made decline of approximately so to go points from the high price of last Monday and there were rallies of IF or IS points from the lowest on cov- ering and trade buying, accompanied ed by reports of price fixing.
 There were private reports from the south of firmer spot basis, but July was relatively easy. There was selling of the near month again pur- chases of October believed to be partly for the account of interests holding considerable cotton in the local stock. Three more private condition reports were issued ranging from 63.7 to Ills and showing crop indications of from S,500.000 to TO- 100000 bales. The average of esti- mates by New York Cotton Exchange members pointed to condition of 69.5.

New Orleans. June 1.-Further de- pressions in the prices of cotton to- day by liquidation for the long ac- count. although the market was not without it's periods of strength and tfere were stages when brokers called the market sold out as the re- suit of extensive realizing that had been done by long contracts of late. Weather conditions over the belt were again unsatisfactory. too much rain falling. although the weekly were considered to be somewhat bet ter than expected In the close prices were lower. Selling of July against purchases of the distant positions was effective. Liquidation was in evidence in the early trading but after q de- cline of ? to points a demand sprang up, being based mainly on the rains in the eastern half of tho belt. A recovery ensued which car ried prices 8 to 15 points higher than the finals of yesterday to 20.63c for July. These were the highest levels of the day. Following the reading of weekly crop reports, the market commenced to sag and sags persisted to the close, although at one stage of the late trading there were moderate upturns on new buy ing. stimulated partly by the rise in sterling exchange and partly by the large exports for the day. 64.6at bales from all ports. against 23,1SS this day last year.

BLACK RUST HAS
 APPEARED IN THE
 TEXAS WHEAT CROP
As Result the Staple DeveoIped Strength While Oats and Corn Went Off With
 Provisions
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 1.-Considerable strength developed in the wheat mar i, ket today owing largely to indiea-
 tions of better export and milling de-
 mand together with talk just before
 the close that black rust had been found in north Texas fields Closing quotations were unsettled at 1s to l1hc net higher with July $1.1g to
 s1.19% and September s1.17ss to s1.17a. Corn lost IS O A to ssc Oats finished A Q as off to 1sc ad vance and provisions down to ' cents.
 Gossip was current that Chicago houses had sold 1,250,000 bushels of wheat to exporters in the last few days and that vessel room had been | chartered here for 1,000,000 bushels of wheat to be shipped to Buffalo. Overnight sales of export wheat here were put al 750,00O bushels. Domes- 1 tic mills appeared also to be taking | wheat. In this connection the fact
 was pointed out that Chicago was l the lowest market in the country and 1 that No. 2 hard and red winter on track here was obtainable today at only half to one cent more than wheat could be contracted Tor 10 De
 delivered in Chicago during July. 1 With the passing of May delivery
 the total fresh arrivals of wheat
 here today dropped to 33 carloads as
 against many hundred cars daily of
 late. Higher quotations at Liver pool and bullish estimates of the Argentine export cables surplus tended also to stimulate buying. How ever, buIges in price brought out in-
 creased offerings and so too did fig
 ures from private crop experts sug- lgesting a domestic winter wheat yield l of eos, ,000,00O bushels this season. On the other hand, attention to pos
 sibllity of crop scare was count ling as a distinct bullish factor as the session came to an end.
 Corn and oats were depressed by
 heavy selling of corn. The selling was ascrihed to a leading long. Provis- 1 ions were easier in line with hogs.
