COTTON TRADERS BUSY EVENING UP
 IN N. '. MARKET
General Market Closed Steady at a Net Decline of Three to Sixteen Points on the
 Days Trading
By Associated Press

New York. June 30.-An early de- cline was followed by partial re- coveries in the cotton market to- day, but business generally was quiet and the bulk of trading was attributed to further evening up of accounts for over the approaching government report.
 October contracts sold up from 21.41c to 21.59c and closed at 21.62c, with the general market closing steady at a net decline of to 16 points.
 The market opened easy at declines of 31 to 21 points in response to relatively easy Liverpool cables and reports of improving weather condi- tlons. Selling was not active or az gressive, but there appeared to be few buyers around the ring and prices sagged off until July touched 21.4Sc and December 21.23c, with ac- tive months generally showing net losses of 20 to 23 points. There was nough covering to steady the market around these figures and rallies of 10 to IS points from the lowest were prompted by more numerous com plaints regarding the presence and activity of boil weevil in the south.
 July sold up to 21.59c and Deeem- Der to 21.39c, but this improvement was not fully maintained, last prices showing reactions of to 9 points from the best. There were two more private condition reports, one of them published by an authority here making the condition 724 and the in- dicated crop of 11,224.000 bales. Later New Orleans report placed the condition at 75, or the highest fig ures so far mentioned. According to a canvass made today, New York cotton exchange members, on the average expect a government next Monday of 732. Privates cables re- ported a quiet market at Liverpool with a less active spot demand but said that Manchester was steady and doing good business with India. Reports received here from the southwest said the chances were against a good crop owing to boil weevil and that no satisfactory method of exterminating the insect had yet been discovered in Texas. Port receipts today 11.030; U. s. port stocks 747,127. Exports today D. S25, making 5,66s,7sS so far this season.

BLACK RUSTL|FTS
 PRICES IN WHEAT 
 IN EARLY TRADING
Later in Session the Figures Dropped, All Three Stand ard Grains Going Off With
 Provisions List
By Associated Press

Chicago, June 30.-Although black rust reports from the north west did good deal to lift wheat prices today, the bullish effect failed to last, no actual damage yet to the spring crop being noted. The market closed unsettled at 5sc net decline to ssc gain, with July s1.14A to $1.14as and September $1.15B to s1.16. Corn lost Ac to E @sse and oats 1sc to Ac. For packing house products, the finish varied from 10c off to a rise of 23kc.
 Bulls in the wheat market had an initial advantage, owing to an un- expected upturn in Liverpool quota tions and because of correct fore casts that unofficial estimates of the domestic winter crop yield would be reduced sharply. Uneasiness regard ing chances of a railroad strike tended also to stimulate buying. Black rust gossip, however, taken in connection with much increased strength of values at Minneapolis soon became the dominating factor and for while the dealings were on a broad scale.
 With only a short session of the board of trade tomorrow and on Mon day and then a full holiday, slacken- ing of demand became evident in the wheat market nevertheless be- fore business ended. Efforts during the last couple of hours were de- voted chiefly to transactions of an eyening-up character. It was at this time in particular that the absence of any damage reports from the places where black rust had been discovered was the subject of in- creasing cornment, and had much to do with practically wiping out the gains which were scored earlier in the day.
 Rains in Iowa. Illinois and Ne braska improving the outlook for the new corn crop. tended to ease the market for corn and for oats as well, despite bullish crop estimates whica were current.
 Provisions averaged lower in line with hog values.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
By Associated Press

New Orleans, June 30.-Whue the cotton market was depressed from the opening today the decline at no time was wide and the undertone was steady during prac- tically the whole session It was much of a pre- bureau market with traders of all kinds more inclined to even up than to enter into fresh commitments Lowest prices were reached in the early trading when the list showed losses of 20 to 22 points, From then on price changes were very narrow. Recoveries carried the list back to within to points of yesterday 8 close and last prices showed net losses on the day of but to II points. October at its lowest sold at 20.95c and that month closed at 2f.0bc.
 Selling on the early part of the session was due to fairly favorable weather con- ditions over the belt. great amount of rain being reported. to uncertainty over the railroad labor situation and to poor cables. During the day private condi ton report of 75 per cent of normal was issued. but it did not result in any fresh selling of consequence. although 1t was the highest private condition report yet issued.
 The steadiness of the market was caused by reports of good spot demand in the markets of the western belt, statistics showing further shrinkage in supplies, the total visible of American being counted by Hester at 2.467,0S6 bales against A. 245,3sS a year ago. and continued prom inent mention of the prevalence of the boil weevil in nearly all crop accounts.

Small Transactions
 In the Bond Market
By AssocIated Press

New York, June 30.-In keeping with the dull stock market, trading in bonds today, was comparatively small. but the undertone was one of firmness, occasionally verging on absolute strength.
 Liberty issues furnished the great CT part of the business with a new top for the fourth 4 4A s at S100.30 at net gains for most of the group. Among foreign loans the Dutch East Indies issues of 1947 and 1862 made material gains. French governments and Brazil Is and Cuba 4hs fea- tured the other strong internationals. while Danish 6s and Cuba Is eased moderately.
 Advances of large fractions to full point were registered by var ious issues of the leading railway systems. including Great Northern 4As and 513s, New York Central de- benture 6s, Atchison As, Southern Pacific collateral As. St. Paul gem eral 4hs and Chesapeake and Ohio convertible 5s.
