EXV ORLEANS COTTON FUTURES
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS June 15.-The July position exceedingly strong in the cotton market today, and as 1t rose it pulled up the new crop months with it. The commonly accepted explanation for the strength of the summer month was that large spot interests were aggressive buyers of it. The demand frightened shorts into heavy covering, which cover ing extended to the new crop months. all though the volume of buying in them was not as great as in July Late in the day the market at it's highest, net gains of 30 to SS points, with July up to 27.9Sc. October traded high 24. 36c. The close was at net gains on the day of 34 to 45 points, with July al range of 27S5c to 27 9sc and October at q range of 24. 33c to 24. 36c.
 The early session saw an unsettled mar ket, after which there was sag to levels IS to 35 points under the close of yester- day. July falling to 26. 75c and October to 23 SIC. These were the lowest levels of the day. Back of this selling was what was generally considered to be the best weather over the belt thus far this season, practically the entire cotton region showing up dry and warm on the weather map.
 A private bureau mid d-month condition report of 6S.S per cent of normal. against 72.2 fortnight ago, appeared to touch the advance off. Buyers operated aggres- sively. and no selling followed either the forecast of more dry weather to come or the unfavorable items in the weeks sta tistics, mill takings being counted at 11s.- 900 bales against 232.000 this week last year.

market closed firm at %c to 1 1sc net advance, with July $1.117s Q1.l2 and September S1.09 % e 1.o95s. Corn finished 5sc to 1c up and oats scored gains of a shade to + In provi- sions, the outcome ranged from Sc decline to a rise of 20c to 22c.
 Kansas reports in particular indi- cated that excessive rains had brought about severe impairment of the probable yield of wheat and one authority was quoted as saying the Kansas crop was al such critical stage that the rain will be likely to destroy heavy percentage in the area which has shown the best promise. Something of an offset ap- peared in news that the moisture has been of decided benefit in south western Kansas, but this fact was virtually lost sight of in view of damage reports from other parts Of the state as well as from Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
 North Dakota and Minnesota led i'll effects of dry weather. On the other hand, downpours in various parts of South Dakota furnished re- lief for that state. The fact also that export demand was only fair and that there was evidence of hedg- ing sales here had more or less to do with causing something of reac- ton in prices about noon. Bulls again became aggressive buyers, however. and most of the days ad- vance was yet held at the close.
 Corn and oats sympathized with the wheat advance. Corn was bull i.hly affected, too, by predictions current that the government report July 1 will show corn crop condi- tions somewhat below normal.
 Provisions were firmer owing to an upturn in hog values.

COTTON FEATURE IS RECOVERY OF
 JULY CONTRACTS

NEW YORK, June 15.-The fea- ture in the cotton market today was the recovery in July contracts. After selling off to 26.S5c during the early trading under continued liquidation, offerings of July tapered off and there was an advance of over a cent pound, with that delivery selling up to 27.96c in the late trading. This made a net advance of S1 points, and the general market closed steady at net advances of B to 76 points, with July quoted at 27.91c.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of ' to II points. Liverpool futures were better than due. but the Liverpool spot sales were consid- erably smaller and there was selling here on. the favorable showing Of the weather map. The English mar ket eased off right after the local opening and prices here soon showed net losses of about IA to 30 points, with October declining to 24.90c and December to 23S3c The decline was checked around these figures by the publication of private crop reports making the mid-month condition 6S.S, compared with report Of 12.2 toward the end of last month. Pri- Vate reports published earlier in the week had indicated a somewhat less severe falling off in condition, and this morning figures evidently led 10 covering in the new crop positions.
 Otherwise buying was restricted by the very favorable character of the days weather news, but when July shorts turned to cover the gen eral list advanced sharply. october sold up to 24.97c, Or 67 points above the early low level, and December to 24.42c in the late trading when the general list showed net advances of 3S to S1 points. Closing prices were within a few points of the best. There was some scattered trading during the early afternoon on the bearish week end reports, but the figures were limited and the late afternoon was encouraged by reports of an increased business in cotton goods at Fall River. Exports for u e day were EPIC bales. making 4,517,414 so far this season. Port receipts were 4.091. United States port stocks, 351,6S7. New Orleans and local trade interests were be- lieved among the most active buyers of July on the afternoon advance.

Chicago daily grain letter. by private

Chicago daily grain letter. by private wire to Doremus, Daniel & Co.,;
 CHICAGO, June 15.-Wheat; The mar ket was strong most of the day. The de- mand was slack on rallies, and from ap- pearance of the market it will take con tinued wet weather and unfavorable har- vestins to bring in sustaining orders Some spots of Kansas are wet beyond any question. and there has been deteriora- tion in sections. but the Kansas secretary of agriculture is quoted as saying that the rains have helped prospects decidedly in some sections. Shows report on Kan sas was bullish,. and stirred up little favorable. Clearances for the week were 1o457,0 ,0oO wheat and flour. This prom genuine shipped 3,1s2,000 and India more than 2000. 900. so that the European mar ket will probably be easier again. Tem- porary weather conditions are too flimsy structure to base any definitely bullish program on, as few days of good weath, leave % the bulls without without much % support n't Corn: The undertone was firm and there was good buying at times although ap- parently wheat has to be strong to in crease the buying demand in corn to any extent. Prospects are for another decrease in stocks this week. Receipts are in creasing little. The cash demand was of fair proportion. but no big business was reported. The crop outlook is good, although the growth of corn is small for this seasn. The market will need better support than it has had recently to war rant any bullish position on it. Oats: The caSn demand aBdln was SLOW with the spot market relatively easy. Commission house trade was moderate. The market is dependent on other grains for any defi- nite trend. Crop reports were favora ble. Rye: Sales of rye to go to store were 100000 and the shipping demand was slow both here and at the seaboard The crop news is not very favorable. and the price level for rye is low. Provisions: The trade was influenced little by the high hog market 10@15c higher. with the top s7.15. Western receipts were S9,300 against 87,000 a year ago. Cash trade was fair.

NEW YORK, June 1b.-(SpeclaI. )-The opening rather surprise this morn ing because Liverpool was better than due. The selling orders in the ring checked any advance that might have occurred on the opening. and the market quickly eased off to around "A BOG for October. However. this decline was short lived, because of the fact that when Llv erpool market closed their curb up about 10 points on July and immediately there was considerable buying of July by was attributed to large straddle. July contracts quickly advanced much faster than the new crop months. The new crop months at present continue very steady in the face of good weather. We are be- ginning to hear 4eports of boil weevil damage and some deterioration. The ac- tion of the market will depend practi- cally entirely upon the weather.
