JULY LIQUIDATION
is MAIN FEATURE
COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, June 13.-The feature
in the cotton market today was the
liquidation of July contracts. A
transferring long accounts from July
to later deliveries as a result of
which there was sharp decrease in
the July premium over new crop
months. Stop orders were uncovered
on the decline which carried July
contracts off to 27.50c, or 81 points
net lower and cent a pound under
the recent high levels. That deliv-
cry closed at 2795c, or 25 points net
lower. Later months closed net IS
points lower to seven points higher
with the general tone of the market
irregular.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of II points on September but
the relatively steady showing of
Liverpool. Spot sales there were
smaller but futures were better than
due on the New York close of yester
day and there seemed to be quite a
good many overnight buying orders
around the local ring. Liquidation
of July contracts soon made its ap-
pearance, however. and continued in
evidence during the balance of the
day. While Liverpool was a consid-
cradle seller OF OCtODer. ms ndu an
unsettling effect on the general list,
which promoted reactionary senti-
ment, particularly in view of more
favorable weather reports from the
south and talk of increasing mill
curtailment. July broke from 2S,57c
to 27S0c, while October sold off from
25 20c to 24.70c or 35 points net lower
and later months showed net losses
of % to 81 points during the early
afternoon. After the execution of
stop orders. there were rallies on
covering and renewal of scattering
demand with last prices showing rail-
lies of some IA to rs points from the
lowest. The weekly report of the
weather bureau was considered
about a standoff and had little ap-
parent influence on the market. 1t
was reported that one OF the largest
New England mills was planning to
close down for week beginning
July 4, owing to continued dull de-
mand and that mill curtailment was
being resorted to in the Augusta dis
trict.

MATERIAL DROPS

NEW YORK, June 13.-Stock prices
generally displayed heavy tone dur
ing the greater part of today's mar
ket, despite another series of favor
able dividend developments, including
the raising of the New York Central
rate from IS to 81 annual basis.
Professional bear traders continued
their attacks on the market and sue
ceeded in forcing some material re-
cessions in the steels, oils, equip
ments, rubbers and motors, but many
of these rallied a point or so before
the close. Sales exceeded the million
mark for the first time since May 20.
On the theory that it reflected the
financial judgment on present and flu
ture business conditions of the Nor
gan, Baker, Vanderbilt and other
powerful financial interests, the in
creased New York Central dividend
was regarded in many quarters as
one OF the most instructive market
developments in many months. The
stock, which closed at par yesterday,
advanced to 102 in the early trading,
but dropped back to 99A on circu-
lation of reports while the directors
were in session that the new rate
would not be over Sc and that the
rate might not be changed at all.
The announcement of the 81 came
as surprise, the stock soaring to
1041s, a new high, often jumping half
point between sales. Approximate
ly $4,000 shares changed hands dur
ing the day, the closing price of 1o3A
representing a net gain of 80.
During the markets reactionary
periods another flock of new low rec
ords were made, including such
stocks as United States Steel COM
mon, Bethlehem Steel, General As
phalt, Standard Oil of New Jersey
Sinclair, Producers and Refiners,
United States Rubber, Kelly-Spring-
field, Goodyear, Goodrich, American
Sumatra Tobacco and Consolidated
Textile.

that there was no intention of in
creasing the dividend, the stock drop

ifornia Petroleum closed nearly
point higher.
Southern railway was again active,
closing nearly point higher. Other
carriers showed mixed changes, but
they were mainly higher.
Call money opened at Az, eased off
to Az and thence to 4, where it
closed. The time money market was
dull, with a few loans arranged at
AZ, but bankers asking ) for all ma
turtles. The bulk of the CONNER
cial paper business continues at 5
per cent.
Renewed weakness of German
marks, which fell below .0010c for
the first time, was the feature of the
quiet and irregular exchange market.

and French francs eased slightly to
