PRICES MOVE UP
 ON CURB MARKET
List Streng t h e ms Near Close In Sympthay
 With Big Board

NEW YORK, June 9.-Stock prices moved within a narrow trading area in today's quiet curb market, but the general list was pointed upward at the close. Considerable irregularity devel- aped in the oils in the early trading, but the list strengthened later in sym pathy with the rally on the "big boardr gains of 1 to 21a points being regis tered by Imperial of Canada, Prairie Pipe and Prairie Oil and Gas.
 A rise of nearly two points in Glen Alden coal, which touched 99A, was the outstanding development in the in- dustrial list. Lehigh Valley securities moved up oyer a point but there was a lessening of interest in other public utilities. Hudson and Manhattan rail- road bell back nearly a point. Durant Motors rallied from 14A to 15h, or full point above the previous close. Re- vival of activity in Hawthorne mines was the only feature of the mining list.

WHEAT DECLINE ON CROP REPORT Generous Rainfalls Do Away With Dry Wealth
 CT As Factor

CHICAGO, June 9-Generous rain falls that for the present did away with dry weather as market factor brought about declines in wheat prices today, the decidedly bullish character of the government crop report this afternoon being unforeseen. Wheat closed steady, E to %c net lower; July, $1.O4A and September $105as to $1.O5h, with corn showing 1 4-5 to Bc advance oats unchanged to h@Hc off and pro- visions varying from the same as Sat urday's finish to 5@7c down.
 It was generally expected that the government crop report as to wheat would prove bullish and this circum- stance helped to keep the wheat market from any sharper setback as result of the rains northwest both sides of the Canadian line. Business through out the day largely in the nature of evening-up to prepare for the govern ment figures but nothing developed be- forehand to indicate that the official forecast would show a radical output.
 Some export inquiry for wheat to be shipped from the Gulf of Mexico was in evidence.
 Announcement of 3,196,O0O bushel decrease in the United States visible supply was without much apparent effect on the market, the total supply being still about 8,000,000 bushels more than last year.
 Unreasonable cold, wet weather that hampered planting and interferred with growth was responsible for the price upturn in corn. Scarcity of supplies steadied the oats market.
 Provisions were easier, influenced by packers selling of lard.

COTTON MARKET
 SHOWS DECLINE
Improved Weather Re- sponsible For General
 Selling Wave

NEW YORK, June 9.-Improving weather and crop reports seemed chiefly responsible for general selling and sharp declines in the cotton market today. October contracts here broke to 25.02os or 66 points below Saturdays last quo tation and more. than 2 cents, below the high price early last week; closing at 25.38c. The general market closed barely steady at declines of 57- to GO points. T afz
 The market opened weak atsa decline of 28 to 39 points on the weather re- ports. Selling had been restricted to- ward the end of last week by apprehen- sions of unfavorable weather develop ments on Sunday, but the map was considerably better than expected and selling on more favorable crop reports was stimulated by continued complaints of depression in the cotton trade. Stop orders were uncovered as prices worked downward and the lowest levels of the day were reached in late trading when July sold at 27.S3e and December at 24.62c, or 60 to 66 points net lower on the general list.
 Exports for the day, 4,472, making 5,406,357 so far this season. Port receipts today, 6,794. United States port stocks, 57,994. .f.--,.

NEW ORLEANs COTToN

sS
 NEW ORLEANS, June 9.-The cotton market was dominated by reactionary sentiment today, due to more favorable weather in the belt. As a result, prices eased off steadily, July leading the de- cline. After trading at 2s.10c during the opening call, July declined, with only moderate rallies from time to time the close of Saturday. October traded at 24.SSc and December at 24.62c in the early trading, and the former eventual ly dropped to 24.52c and the latter to 24.27c, or 60 and 61 points below the previous close. All active months ral- lied slightly in the final trading and the close showed net losses for the day of 62 points on July and 61 to 55 points on new-crop months.
 The market started off with a sub stantial decline over Saturday on the weather map to bring bad weather to the western half of the belt. As Liver pool was closed, the market was without influence from. foreign sources. The weather map confirmed private infor- nation of the absence of rain of conse- quence in the belt-and much warmer weather. This added to the easier feel ing, and the downward trend of prices was also helped by weakness in the New York stock markets.
 Areas of low pressure in the belt and official forecast for cloudy and showery weather caused a slight rally around the middle of the morning, but, 1t was short-lived. A rumor from New York that Secretary Hester of the local ex- change would shortly make plus cor rection in his last seasons carry-over may have helped the selling in the northern market. 'The rurnor was promptly denied, Secretary Hester de- claring he saw no reason whatever to alter his original figures. -.,
 Another bearish development was the action of the tariff commission in re- fusing to recommend any increase in the tariff rates on imports of cotton and cotton goods. Most of the selling was in the shape of liquidation by last weeks buyers, although there was also fair volume of short selling.
