NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, June 12.-While prices were depressed during practically the whole session today. the cotton market was very steady in the late trading and recovered in a fairly strong way. finally closing at net declines of only to 19 points. July winding up at 2s5oc and oc. tober at a range of 24 Acc to 24.5oc. At the lowest of the day prices were 37 to 46 points under yesterdays close on the more active months. with July off to 2S. zoe and October off to 24 20c.
 Selling of the day appeared to be main ly liquidation of the Old long interest. stimulated by the poor showing of the Liverpool market Some traders thought new selling was factor coming from interests looking for a reaction. The de- cline progressed in the face of compla aints of too much rain in several states of the belt, t.cluding Texas. and in spite of two bullsh private bureau mid month condition reports. one of 69.5 per cent of normal. which compared with 70 a fortnight ago. and another of 70 against 72 5N fortnight ago. The later report estimated the increase in acreage at only z per cent whereas fortnight ago the same bureau estimated the increase at 8 per cent.
 Early declines amounted to 20 to S2 points, after which there were small recov- cries. Around noon prices were at their lowest In the last hour recoveries were made on reports of better demand for spots in this market and on cablegrams from Liverpool stating that Turkey was increasing Its purchases of cotton goods.

INDUSTRIAL LISTS SHOW WEAKNESS
Renewed Decline Reported In Oil StockS-Profit Talk
 ing Heavy
By WALTER E. BROWN Editor New York Commercial


 NEW YORK, June 1z.-weakness in several spots in the industrial list finally undermined the market for rail stocks late in the day and prices closed with an average loss of s4 of point in fairly active dealings. News concerning the outlook of the crude oil situation has been fraught with disquieting rumors which have gained credence in some corners of the market. The decline in oil stocks, Which has been under way for some weeks, showed signs of renewal dur ing the session. This uneasiness soon spread to others of the industrial list and finally included rails before the day was over. In some instances the declines in rail stocks might be as sociated with profit-taking as the upward rush of some of the lowerz priced rail shares has been just a bit too rapid for those who insist upon an evening up of the technical position of the market every so often.
 The easing in call money from 5 per cent at the start to F per cent in the early afternoon, which ruled through to the close, aided the fin ish of the market, but much of the selling was jambed through during the closing hours, so that some of the technically strong stocks were un- able to give a good account of them selves.
 Cotton Reacts.
 The commodity markets suffered some. Cotton reacted after the 9O- point upswing of Monday, and wheat moved off in quiet trading. Foreign exchange finished generally lower, reflecting disappointment over the fact that the Curzon note to Poin- care did not cause much reaction in the French capital
 Bonds, however, were steady to firm at the last, with Austrian Is scoring a new high. All transac- tions in the bonds were done at prices well above the offering price of the loan of 90. Talk of an Irish loan of about f20,000,000, to bear a per cent coupon, to be offered at about 9S, is current. Part will be offered in Dublin and the main sec- tion in New York, though the Irish government is not immediately in need of the money. Judging from the competition that is being experi- loan. 1t is evident the issue would be successful.
 The moderation with which new security offerings are being made is giving dealers an opportunity to clear their shelves. Not few dis tributors have had considerable &C., counts of securities to dispose of, but 1t Is evident that the market is well prepared to receive new business and absorb readily.
 Private market letters sent out generally advise caution against talk ing strong position in the market at present, though many counsel the buying of stocks on all reactions such as have been experienced

DECLINE FOLLOWS EXCITED ADVANCE OF PREVIOUS DAY

NEW YORK, June 12.-The excited advances of yesterday were followed by a decline in the cotton market to- day. Fresh buying seemed to be held in check by reports of improv- ing weather conditions in the south and*a disposition to take profits on recent purchases was probably in- creased by the failure of the goods trade to show a more decided inn provement, and the easy ruling of Liverpool. July contracts broke to points and closed at 2S.44c. The gen eral market closed irregular, 21 lower to 12 higher net.
 The market opened barely steady at a decline of to 19 points on all months except August. There ap- wanted. and before they could be se- cured the price advanced to 2S.20c, or 32 points net higher. This had rather sustaining influence on the ether positions, which opened lower in response to lower cables, but soon as the demand for August had been supplied the general market turned easier. More favorable crop advices from the southwest and the better shwoing of the weather map were the features most generally mention ed on the decline but there were also DedrlSn comments on the 1dlluTe of low mid-month condition figures to stimulate buying as suggested that deterioration for the first half of the month had been discounted by yesterdays advance. There was covering and perhaps some trade buying on the declines. which caused rallies of several points during the middle of the day, but the upturns met increased realizing sales and the decline extended to 24.S0c for De- tober and 24.11c for December, with the general list showing net losses of 25 to 51 points. Offerings then tapcred off decidedly and there were sharp rallies in the last few min utes on covering. Last prices were about 20 to 31 points up from the

 HEFLIN, Ala, June 12.-(Special) ) The State Secondary Agricultural school of Lineville placed a very credible agricultural exhibit in Hef- lin last week. Profs. W Fl. McDaniel and w. G. Johnston had 56 field and garden crop specimen plants on dis play. The business men and farmers were very much interested in the exhibit. This display speaks well for the agricultural school at Lineville. MT. McDaniel is the principal of the agricultural school and MT. John- ston has charge of the vocational ag- ricultural department. From this exhibit 1t is hoped that many farmers in this territory will see it to their advantage to grow more legumes, especially winter cov- CT crops, and plant a variety winter vegetable garden.

HUBBARD'S LETTER

NEW YORK, Juno 12.-(Special. )-The e market rested after the upturn of yes terday, but the undertone was extremely good. There was a moderate amount of profit-takine both from Liverpool and local interests, but contracts were well absorbed. It is generally believed that the market will do better and a more fav- orable opinion is gaining ground in view that the weather has not been at all favorable to the growing crop. Natural reactions are bound to occur, but in view of the fact that we are well along in June now and the usual good June weather has not made its appearance to date and the theory that the market usually goes down during the first part of June has not worked this year. The market is continually under the influ- ence of the small supply of cotton now on hand.
 Futures in Liverpool are due tomorrow July l6.b1d, October 3,75d.-Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.

Corn: Sold off rather easily, showing that the bull features have been temporarily discounted and stale market-wise for the time being. Corn prics steady. with only fair demand. Weather conditions in the main are favor able and there Is ample moisture at the present time. Country offerings are not heavy and local stocks continue to de- crease moderately Temporarily the lack of buying power is against the market, but unless the movement Increases ma trially the market will be easily congcst ed, so that we look for quick rallies. Oats: Easier trend. The cash demand was slow and sales were only 20000. The cash sit uation is a little firmer relatively as feed dealers are. apparently buying more oats on account of the cheap basis compared to corn. Rye: Northwest crop reports are a little bullsh and the Canadian re- ports are now to the effect that the win ter rye in that country also is spotted. The export demand. however. does not warrant any great price optimism. Pro visions: There was little rally in prod ucts today. shorts and commission houses buying.

STEyvART'S LETTER

BIRMINGHAM, June 12.-Liverpool quotations came over { points lower on spots and 10 lower on new crops, with good sales reported at 5000 bales. and an advance of 30 points in their middlins prices. Cables stated business fair in cotton goods Our markets opened Is to 20 points lower than Mondays close on the lower Liverpool and eased off 25 to ularly in July, less urgent demand and somewhat better weather. There good buying on the break and prices rallied some near the close. finals being 20 points loss for the day. Spots were generally quoted unchanged to 20 lower, prices 20 75c at Galveston. Sales were around 1000 bales for the day. The technical situation in futures was considered much less acute because of the heavy covering yesterday. Weather details showed scat tered but light showers in Arkansas Mis- sissippi, Louisiana, Alabama and Geor- gia. The forecast was for mostly fair in the western belt. showers central and east. A rumor that the National Gnners made the semi-monthly condition 69. 5 fell flat on the market. Gossip centers on the outcome of the July New York posi- ton. Doubt is expressed that the con- centrated long interests. if there is one, of 7s,O00 bales should 1t be rendered. on notice day and carry 1t into October these premiums plus carrying and classification charges. It would seem doubtful If the New York stock could be sold to mills at it's present prices com pared with new crop cotton available in August or September much cheaper. Should the weather improve. selling of Oc- tober would be in order.-S. R. Stewart & Co.

BETTER WEATHER
 RESULTS M SAG IN WHEAT PRICE

CHICAGO, June 12.-Wheat aver aged lower in price today largely as result of better weather for the harvest in the southwest and be- cause of slackened demand. The close was unsettled at a range vary ing from 5sc net decline to 1sc ad- vance, with July s1.1o9s Q1.1oh and September s1.09. Corn lost ss to lc and oats 1s c 1ac. In provisions, the outcome was 10 to 17c gain.
 With word at hand that cutting and threshing of wheat was under way In parts of Oklahoma absence or rain over the southwest gave an i'm mediate advantage to the pear sue of the market, inasmuch as fear or a wet harvest has of late acted as something of a prop to values. Ihe fact that Liverpool quotations snow ed a decline was likewise factor III bringing about price setbacks here by giving emphasis to current EOS sip that in view of the wheat 'sufplus in North America and the 1mpenolhS movement of the new crop, forelgn- CTS saw no reason for anxiety rela- tive to supplies, and would continue to buy in only a sparing manner.
 Absence of influential buying or a domestic character as well as the meagerness of export business char acterized the day in the wheat mar ket except that spreading operations formed something of feature in the late dealings. As consequence of the spreading, July lost some of its Dremium over September. Mean- while, December also gained on ehs other future deliveries and closed at 1sc advance in contrast with de- clines for July and September
 Hot weather predictions led to an increase of selling pressure In tha corn market. oats followed corn, and the September delivery or oats touched a new low record for the season.
 Provisions rose in response to an upturn in hog values.
