ADVANTAGE HELD
BY BEAR TRADERS
IN WHEAT MARKET

CHICAGO, June s.-With pros
poets apparently less promising for
a settlement between Germany and
France. and with harvest wealth err
favorable in Oklahoma, bears had an
advantage in the wheat market to-
day. Crop estimates from Washing
ten proved moderately bullish as to
wheat, but were issued after the
trading here had ended. Closing
prices for wheat were unsettled at
the same as yesterdays finish to
IA lower; July $1.10A 41.101s and
September S1.0S& IS @ loss. Corn

oats unchanged to Il off, and pro.
visions 15c to soc down.
General selling which took place
at the opening of the wheat market
vas ascribed largely to the fact that
Germany's reparations offer mad met
with only adverse comment from
French and Belgian sources, where
as considerable recent buying has
agreement with Germany was near
at hand. Word that clear. warm
weather prevailed in Oklahoma,
where harvesting is to begin on
Monday, tended further to weaken
values because fear had existed that
hindrance.
Trade evening up to prepare for
the government report helped some :
what to steady the wheat market
during the late dealings, and per
sistent talk of crop damage in Kan
sas and Oklahoma caused relative
strength in the July delivery. Mean :
while, export business was described
as slow, but world shipments for the
week were estimated as larger than
last weeks total and more than
double the aggregate a year ago.
Scarcity of offerings made corn
prices average higher. Oats were

DEMAND FOR JULY |
is WELL SUPPLIED
AND PRICE BREAKS

NEW YORK, June S.-There was
a continued demand for July con-
tracts in the cotton market today
but it seemed to be pretty well sup
piled on an advance Of 27.90c for
that position and the price later
broke to 27.50c. Later months were
relatively weak during the entire
day and when July eased off, DC
tober contracts sold down to 23.93c,
or CT points net lower That month
closed at 24.15c with the general
market closing very steady at net
declines of Is to 60 points.
The market opened barely steady
at a decline of to "a points owing
to the rather easier showing or Llv-
erpool and smaller Liverpool spot
the eastern belt were factor IN
decline which soon extended to 24l3c
for October and 23.19c for January
or about Al to 81 points net lower
on the new crop positions. July
was sustained by continued covering,
however, and became stronger DUR
ing the middle of the day on reiter-
ated reports that cotton was being
sold for export out of the New York
stock. There were also reports that
the larger spot business reported at
two or three of the southern mar
y
result of an Improvement in the ex-
port demand, and the advance to
27.9Oc for July carried the prices
here into new high ground for the
movement. The demand tapered off
at this level, however, and as soon
as July showed signs of easing, Of
ferings of new crop positions be-
came heavier. They were probably
influenced by reports of improving
crop weather in eastern sections OF
the belt and the decline went to
23.35c for December and 22s9c for
January, or about 81 to 81 points
net lower on these deliveries. July
sold % points net lower but met
renewed covering on the decline and
closing prices showed the Fall River
market for the week were estimated
at about $4,000 pieces and there
were reports of increasing mill cur
tailment which probably continued
to the decline during the early aft
ernoon. Exports today were $4,000
bales, making 4.4S0,461 SO far this
season. Port receipts, 5,446. United
States port stocks 263,951.

Told by Private Wires
HUBBARD BROS. & co

NEW YORK. June s.-The market lost
some of its buoyancy this morning when
Liverpool cables came worse than due.
with the exception OF the near position.
News cables also indicated that the for
eign interests were looking for a reaction
in our market. which did occur. but IT
was quite natural as a certain amount of
long cotton was bound to appear In view
of the recent advance. The weather map
is still unfavorable. Talk of further de-
terioration throughout the eastern belt is
reaching us. New Orleans wired that the
spot basis was little off today, but there
still existed II pretty good demand for
spots. Outside OF profit taking there was
pressure evident. AS consequence
believe this decline to be only temper
airy, and expect the market to work
higher on continued poor crop accounts

NEW YoRKtoTToN FUTURES


NEW ORLEANS, June s.-Rather pro-
nounced easiness was manifest by cotton,
mainly on account of the political events
abroad In the early trading the selling
was due mainly to the rejection by France
of the latest German proposals, following
which there was period of comparative
steadness and minor recoveries, but after
the middle of the session the market
broke to its lowest level on the receipt
over private wires of cable messages from
Paris stating that France had sent a
strong note to Germany demanding that
resistance to inter-allied military control
cease Immediately.
Around the opening July advanced 10
points over yesterdays close to 2Sc a
pound. but other months had less strength
and during the first hour of the day de-
clnes on the list amounted to rs to As
points. Recoveries Of 20 points were
caused by profit taking BY recent sellers,
but no great steadiness developed and
late in the day there was break to
levels SO to II points under the final prices
of yesterday, July falling to 27.54c and
october to 23.30c. Just on the close there
was more realizing by shorts and last
prices We're at net losses of ~ to 81 points.
July closed at q range of 1850 to 21.7lc,
and October at range of 23.5oc to 2S.54c.
What was considered to be better
weather over the belt contributed to the
early easiness and traders the long
side were disappointed over the colorless
Liverpool. Recoveries following the first
downward movement were in part due to
the minus correction in the Barcelona
stock of $4,000 bales Of American cotton.

REPORT ON CROPS

American Steel and Wire companys
report of farming conditions refers
to blowing up of cotton and replant-
ing with corn and sorghum, etc.
General cotton prospect Is regarded
as indefinite. Corn Is good but late.
The report says:
Temperature conditions In the past
week were somewhat higher than in
preceding weeks. There were rains
and showers over large areas of the
country which were detrimental in
the more southerly states and bene-
fetal in others.
Cotton acreages, which are being
plowed up, are going into June corn,
sweet potatoes and n-saccharine
