END-MONTH CROP REPORTS BULLISH
 EFFECT ON PRICES

NEW YORK, June 21.-The first of the private end-month crop reports to make it's appearance was pub lished in the cotton market this morning and evidently made bull ish impression on sentiment. Early advances were followed by reactions under a renewal of July liquidation. but as soon as this had been ab- sorbed the market frmed up again on covering and trade buying. July which had sold off from 26.S9c to 26.40c, advanced to 27.25c in the late trading, while october sold up to 24.SSc. The close was irregular but within a few points of the best, showing net advances of 43 to s5 points on the more active months, while June was nominally II points higher.
 The market opened steady at an advance of 29 to 45 points on old crop months and of 6 to 20 points relatively steady cables. There was some selling on the favorable ap- pearance of the weather map but 1t was very readily absorbed and the market showed an advancing ten dency which was encouraged by the steady tone reported in the stock market. This became more pro- nounced following the publication of a report from New Orleans placing the condition of the crop as of June 17 at 677, the increase acreage at 7.7 per cent and the indicated yield at 10,500,000 bales. This evidently stimulated some buying, but the ad- vance met a renewal of July liqui- dation which had an unsettling effect on the general market. October eased off from 24.6oc to 24.40c, while the market was under near month pressure, but the July offerings were lighter and more scattering than recently and as soon as they had been taken, prices rallied. There was trade buying of July on the advance which followed and some trade buy ing was also reported in the later months, accompanied by reports that ocean freight room had been engaged for 75,0O0 bales for September ship ment out of Galveston. Private cables reported trade buying to fix prices in Liverpool and Liverpool bought July here October sold up to PASS in the late trading. Exports today, 4,433, making 4,56S,34S so far tks season.

Bond Market Fails To Show Renewed Power

NEW YORK, June 21.-The bond market today failed to participate to any pronounced, extent in the strength shown by stocks At inter- vals during the morning, selling pressure was applied very persistent ly against varied list of domestic issues and foreign bonds, losses run ming in, some instances from 1 to 3 points.
 In the last half of the session the complexion of the market underwent a decided change for the better, many of the earlier declines being reduced to small proportions, while some popular liens sold materially above yesterdays final figures.

ACTIVE TRADING
 BRINGS RECOVERY
 FROM B|C LOSSES
Expert Finds Nothing Matter With Coqditions In New
 York Market
By WALTER E. BROWN tEditOr New York Commercially nensed Wire to The AEe-HeraId.D

NEW YORK, June 21.-In one of the most active days trading, the stock market has witnesses for some weeks. a good part of Wednesdays loss was recovered. It was largely in the nature of short covering, as there has been a very large short in- terest rolled up in the heavy selling of recent times. If the market could only be let alone, there are substan- tial reasons why it should advance, but the things that have been hap pening to it of late are analogous to the Mexican Petroleum raid of some months ago. Having in mind the fact that the bucket shop failures were due to criminal practices and that the failure of the two German houses were due primarily to con- ditions in Germany. It was realized that there is nothing the matter with actual market conditions themselves. Operators Buying Stocks.
 A great many shrewd operators are realizing that this is pretty good time to buy stocks. The mar ket is due for an advance and is be- causes, which, from the nature of things, can only be temporary Credit and banking conditions are good. Labor is fully employed, the crop outlook is faNOrable, ana the only trouble is the temporary impair ment of confidence. If, for example, money were tight, if there were ac- cumulations of goods in consumers hands, if industrial concerns were laying off employees, If trade reports were guarded, or actually pessimis- tic If any one of these conditions eX- isted when these two important failures were announced, there would have been something resembling panicky stock market.
 O O O
 Took Blows We'll.
 It must count for something that the market took these blows as well as it did, for even though they were German houses both of the stock eX- change concerns that failed had long and honorable careers. There is no suggestion of crookedness In either of them, and creditors are not likely to suffer severe losses in the one case or much, if any loss, in the other The probability is that the strong conservative interests will take hold of the Wall street situa- tion and rescue it from the hands Of the irresponsible ones who are now dominating it. Those who are view ing Wall street from a distance should keep all these facts clearly In mind and particularly should classlfy these failures as they belong.

EXPORT BUSINESS GIVES STRENGTH TO WHEAT PRICES.

CHICAGO, June 21.-Export busl- ness estimated at more than l,ooo'- 900 bushels gave fresh strength to the wheat market today after both the September delivery and December had touched 8 new low price record for the season. Wheat closed firm, 3s cent to 1 cent net higher. with September 104 3-S@104 1-2 and De- cember 107 to 107 Is. Corn finished 3-S to 1-4 cent up, oats at l-S cent decline to 5-8 cent gain and proVls- ions lower by 5Q7 cents to 15 cents
 Wheat started with an upward ten dency that was ascribed chlefly to buying on the part of previous seli- CTS. Besides, estimates were cur rent that the probable yield of wheat in Europe this season had been rs~ duced 25,000,000 to 40,O0O,0OO bushels owing to unfavorable weather of late. The initial bulge in prices here, how ever. attracted rather free seilins which with temporary pause in demand led to a somewhat sharp set- back, forcing September and Decem- Der to below the seasons minimum level heretofore and dropping July fa i2a. s,s cents 0"0'f sA'D'DA, .
 Buying to remove hedges against sales for export came into evidence in the wheat pit at this stage. and the market developed decided up- ward swing at the last. Prices here were said to be on a full export ba- sis. Forecasts of showery weather in the southwest likely to interfere with harvesting of the winter crop were likewise of some effect as bullish influence and so too was mo- flee of black rust in Minnesota.
 Corn was strong all day, reacting at times with wheat but invariably run ming into good demand. The out look was that the supply of corn on July would be extremely small. oats averaged a little higher in line with other grain.
 Weakness of hog values had de- pressing effect on the provision mar ket.
