For time the market showed considerable strength, with July selling up to 21.S2c and Decem- Der to 21.61c, or 19 to 25 points net higher, but. the demand seemed to come largely from shorts and as soon as the buying slackened, prices turned easier under scattered selling. which seemed to come partly from the south. Other private crop re- ports published making the condition from f1.9 up to 73.7. appeared more in line with local ideas as to the crops progress, and probably con tributed to the afternoons declines Numerous reports concerning the seriousness of the boil weevil out look and probable activity of the in- sect caused rallies from time to time, but the tendency was downward un- til July sold at 21.4s and December at 21.30, or T to 14 points net lower The close was 14 to 20 points up from the lowest on covering.

 NEW YORK COTTON
NEW oRLEANs COTTON


 New Orleans. June 29.--A most irregular market prevailed in cotton today and dur ing good part of the session fluctuations were extremely narrow, with some months frequently at small advances, while others were at small declines The close was typical of the whole session, prices being I points up to poipts down, compared with the last quotations of yesterday Much of this irregularity was due to the fact that July was under more selling pressure than were other months. owing to the circulation of few notices prob ably not over 10- July closed at 21.46c / There was no decided trend around the opening. Scattered selling caused slight depressions under which the market dur ing the first call stood up to down, compared with yesterdays close. Showers in the central and eastern divisions of the belt caused buying on which prices rallied for net advances of 12 to 23 points, July rising to 2165c. These were the high under the circulation notices and late in the morning prices were 10 to 29 points under yesterdays close, July falling to 2l.24c These were the lowest levels of the day.
 Daring the remainder of the day the un- dertone was better under complaints of weevils. from many parts of the belt and under the rather low private bureau re- ports, although some selling was caused late in the day by the report that the railroad strike had been called. Of sev- the day. the lowest was 69.7 and the high est T3.7. Figures on indicated ySc ranged from 1o,400,OOo bales up to H. 0,000, and estimates of the increase in acreage from 5.2 per cent up to s.s per cent

BLACK RUST AND A BULL|SH REPORT
 FEATURED GRAIN
and Corn Made Sub StantiaI Gains, Willie Oats and Provisions Were on
 a SeeSaW
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 2o.-Predictions of bullish crop estimates tomorrow, black rust reports from South Da- kota and uncertainty over railroad strike talk led to higher prices today for wheat. The market closed un- settled ssc to lsc u7, July, Sl-l4s to $1.f4M and September, $115% 10 s1.15B. Corn gained isc to % c, oats lost Ac to B c and provisions finished at a range varying from Dc decline to 15c advance.
 At first the wheat market showed a tendency to seek q lower level of values, considerable selling being in- duced by optimistic advices on the spring crop outlook and by weakness of foreign exchange, especially a new record downturn for German marks. Sentiment soon reversed itself how ever, fresh flood of disappointing threshing returns coming from all sections and being followed by gossip that crop experts would issue com- prehensive statements tomorrow indi- eating decided reduction in the estimated yield of winter wheat.
 la ion that black rust was spreading, and had been found on the stem of spring wheat in South Da- kota, gave further incentive to buy ing and so, too, did the fact that the first ear of new wheat received in Chicago proved to be of inferior quality. Increased tension regarding the railway strike situation counted also as a bullish factor. Notice taken, though, of steps by federal authorities to intervene led to little downward reaction in prices just be- fore the close.
 Liberal export business helped give strength to the corn market. Oats were depressed by slowness of cash demand and by sales to go to store here.
 HRovisions averaged higher in line with tha hog m a rIx at

New Orleans. June 2s.-( Specially While the cotton market was somwhat higher today. values ruled irregular and monthly condition reports being offset by cratic, builish weather and private unfavorable rail strike news. Cables were better than due. Weather remained un- settled In central and eastern portions of the belt. but generally fair in Texas with no indication for an important change in climatic conditions in the interior for the immediate future, which is favorable for the spread and activity of the weevii. There were other monthly private condi- tion reports issued this morning from 69.7 to 73-7 with exception of the Watkins bureau. which averages coalition at 74.9, estimates increase in acreage at is per cent pointing to yield of 11,674, 900 bales. Other of the accepted private au- thorities returns indicate small crop ranging from 1O,40o. 900 to II. 1.340,0OO. If Mondays s government crop estimate Is for q production of not more than II 250 900 bales. market will likely be sustained; probably advance if the official forecast Is for less than 11.O00,0oO bales, but if the bureau points to yield in excess of IT, 800, 900 market may sell off temporarily.
 Meanwhile the trade has to contend with the possibility of the railroad shopmen strike set for July l, which would like wise interrupt transportation but to what extent. time only will tell
 Then there is the uncertainty of what the government will report on Monday as the condition of the crop, the acreage and makes the near course of values difficult to judge. In the meantime nervous and cratic markets are likely to be wit nessed.-H. and B. Beer.
