/ GR. " LETTER

CHICAGO, ae 1S.-wheat in the early part actet- A little weak, owing to Liverpool market opening unchanged and closing A lower, which induced some profit-taking selling; but 1t was offset by continued good outside buy ing. There was considerable fluctua- tions, but good buy on all dips gave strength to the market, which closed slightly better than yesterdays close. Crop reports were mixed, with some apprehension of damage from hot weather in parts of Kansas and Okla homa; but, on the whole, prospects are not materially changed. Cutting has commenced in Oklahoma. Corn was given good support and closed un- changed to slightly higher for Decem- Der. Weather forecast for tonight and Saturday over the corn belt is cooler, with scattered showers, unfavorable for corn east of the Mississippi. Local weather forecaster predicts hot wave within a week. Kansas City and St. Louis are overlooking Chicago for cash corn. Oats: Good buying by commits sion houses absorbed most of the off, ferings. Prices averaged slightly high er.--H. and B. Beer to J. F.

WARM WEATHER AIDS WHEAT RISE Profit Taking Leads To Reaction After Early
 Gains s-

CHICAGO, June 13.-High tempera- lures threatening to damage crops in the southwest did a good deal to lift whetat prices today, but profit taking sales led to a reaction later. Wheat closed nervous at the same as yester- days finish to 3s higher, July $1.111s @A to $1.11A and September $1.l3 to $1.13A, with corn unchanged to x up, oats unchanged to shade higher and provisions unchanged to rise of 2 cents.
 Before uneasiness developed concrn- ing the heat wave, wheat traders here were largely guided by decline in Liver pool quotations and then by an advance at Winnipeg. Later with the mercury registering above 100 in Oklahoma and with Kansas also hot the wheat mar ket here climbed to point equaling the highest prices of the present move ment. It was asserted that if the heat continued the wheat prospect would be seriously endangered the more so as the charge had been sudden from long period of cold weather.
 Reports that cold weather in the Colby Kansas attracted special notice and so too did reports that spring wheat acreages was the smallest since 1872. On the other hand export de- mand for wheat from the United States appeared slow except that some No. 2 hard was said to have been sold for late June shipment by way of the Gulf of Mexico at 10c over Chicago July.
 Corn averaged a little higher with other markets out bidding Chicago. The hot wave, though. eased corn values at the last. Oats trading was light.
 Better export call for helped strengthen provisions.

JULY POSITION LEADS IN RALLY New Crop Months Pulled Up But Lose Part
 Of Gains

NEW YORK, June 13.-Early de- clines in today's cotton market were fol- lowed by rallies, again led by the July position. After selling off to 28.55c at the start, July advahced to 29.16c, or 36 points net higher, and closed at 2902c. New crop months were pulled up by the strength in July, but the advances were not fully maintained, the market closing barely steady. July was p points net higher with later months net unchanged to 9 points lower.
 The market opened steady at de- cline of 10 to IS points. The more ur- gent demand for July seemed to have been supplied yesterday and prices eased off during the early trading under liqui- dation with focal and southern selling encouraged by a favorable weather map. October declined to 25.S5c, Nmak- ing net losses of 25 to % points on the active positions. At these figures, how ever, the break was checked by covering and prices rallied in the face of bear ish weekend figures and a favorable view of weather conditions in the south except for the high temperatures in parts of the southwest. October sold at 26.20c and closed at 26.13c.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW ORLEANS, June 1s.-The sus- taining feature today in the face of good weather in nearly all sections of the cotton region, dry and warm almost everywhere in the interior, was the com plaint of high temperatures in the southwest and damage by grasshoppers in Texas. Until of late the general com plaint was of cool weather and too much rain. Now that the cotton region is being favored with the kind of weather generally desired, ,-the cry of high temperatures has been raised. Of course, if abnormally high tempera- lures in Oklahoma and Texas are of long duration. their persistence would likely be considered unfavorable but the plant has not reached the fruiting stage except in southwest Texas, con seQuently there can be no shedding from hot and dry weather. As the season draws to close, the statistical posi- tlon becomes stronger, so far as the supply in, the south, is concerned, of which Europe continues to draw freely in the way of exports, which is reflect ed in the firmness of the July position and in the firmness of southern spots. There were three holidays in England this week; and, as a result, spinner talkings were small, only 10000 vs. 12s,- 900, but this is only a passing influ- ence:--H. and B. Beer to ]. F. Willing ham & Co. @
 NEW ORLEANS, June. 1s.-Cotton slipped 25 to 30 points at the start to- day on selling induced by reports of improvement in the crop outlook and the belief that the weather is favor able, but recovered the loss later. There were enough buyers, however, who took the opposite view, to absorb the selling easily and pressure soon let up. The small takings were offset in large part by realization that the into-sight move ment has dropped to about the smallest on record, expectation of a big de- crease in mill and warehouse stocks in the census report tomorrow and claims that the small takings were due largely to the three-days holiday abroad this week.. The market acts like 1t is in an oVersold condition, and a good rally is due any time from technical, reasons.- Fenner 6 Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, June 1s.-The market was' extremely dull practically the en- tire day. The weather map was favor able, but yet it failed to bring any liquidation. This Is due to the feet that we are Approaching another gov- srnment crop report, and the market in all probability anticipated one that is not so satisfactory. For this reason, there Is little desire to sell. In fact, on several occasions this morning, fairly large orders for a quiet market were executed on the buying side. We cannot expect much advance in the market just as long as continued good weather remains over the belt, which is the case at present. The buying of Julys yesterday by houses who repre- sent the trade had a very salutary ef- feet on the market in general and I should go . long ways to cause this month to respond sharply to any

 OILS ARE LOWER
Strength Of Lehigh Val ley Coal Certificates
 Is Feature

NEW YORK, June 13.-Activity and strength of Lehigh Valley Coal certificates, which closed points high CT at 33%, owing to total transac- tions exceeding 50,000 shares, was the outstanding development in today's ir- rgeular curb market.
 Oil shares were inclined to yield on selling inspired by the fear of further reductions in crude prices as result of lessened consumption due to un- reasonable weather Standard Oil of Nebraska broke eight points to 22S. Ohio Oil dropped one, and a number of the others yielded fractionally. Vacu- um moved against. the current trend showing a net gain of 1A points at the close.
 Gillette Safety Razor advanced four points to 279 and Lehigh Power se- curities moved up nearly two points. Bonds were more active.

NEW oRLEANs CoTroN

NEW ORLEANS, June 13.-The cot ton market was a narrow affair today, with frequent but moderate fluctua- tions. The trend was upward after the easier opening on good weather. The low levels of the day were estab- lished in the early trading, when prices eased off from 23 to 30 points below the previous close. July rallied later to 2s.77c, or back to yesterdays closing level, but eased off again in late trad ing October advanced 36 points, to 25. 5.41c, and December rallied 33 points, to 25.15c, or 10 to II points above the previous close. The new-crop months receded- moderately in the late trading on realizing. The close showed a net loss for the day of IA points on July, no change on October and net losses of 2 to points on later new-crop months.
 In the absence of- cables from Liver pool, that market again being closed, the start was under the influence of continued favorable weather and pri- vate advices reporting the crop mak- ing excellent progress, and the low points of the session were established in the second half of the morning. Texas advices reported increasing dam age from grasshoppers and complaints that the high temperatures were be- ginning to injure young cotton. Later official reports showed temperatures of 100 to no at 25 points in Texas and Oklahoma. These advices frightened shorts into covering and new-crop po- sitlons regained all the earlier loss, and 10 to II points advance over the previ- ous close was ultimately established.
 The advancing tendency was checked by mill takings of only 70,000 bales, the smallest on record. This started a re- action, which, however, did not go very far, as it was realized that the small total was largely due to the many holidays abroad during the week and to the small movement into sight.

OILS AND STEELS UNDER PRESSURE Bullish Demonstrations
 Staged By Specialties 1 And Rails

NEW YORK, June 13.-Bullish demonstrations in several high priced industrial specialties and further ac- cumulation of the rails, fifteen of which established new 1924 highs, were the outstanding developments in today's ac. tive and irregular stock market. Oils, steels and coppers yielded to selling pressure, but net losses in most active issues were held to fractions.
 General Electric was the outstanding individual feature, being run up more than z points to 230N despite official denials of rumors that the company would split up its stock and increase the dividend payments. Kresge jumped 10 points to 355 on two transactions and Woolworth climbed 6A points to 94, new top.
 Friday, the 18th, also failed to dampen bullish enthusiasm in other sections of the industrial list, Consoli- dated Gas moving up nor, than 2 points to a new peak price of 6SMc and gains of F points or more being recorded by United States Cast Iron F1pe, Fisher Body, Iron Products, Rey- holds Tobacco issues and others.
 Selling of the \oil- shares followed circulation of unconfirmed rumors that another cut in Mid-C Continent crude was likely. Atlantic Refining, dropped 4 points to 98, a new minimum price for the year and then rallied to 10O% Standard Oil of California and Cali. fornia Petroleum dropped about a point each, the latter to new low.
 Establishment of new peak prices by the Rock Island issues, the common selling more than 2 points higher at 3lA, was one of the outstanding incl dents in the trading in the railroad shares.
 United States Steel common closed unchanged at 965s and the other ply otal stocks showed only nominal changes. International Paper turned reactionary on reduction in newsprint prices by Canadian mills.
 Call money continued to rule at 2 per cent on the stock exchange, all though outside loans" were reported below this figure. Little interest is be. ing displayed in the time money mar ket with loans up to 60 days reported as low as 3 per cent. There was a good demand for commercial paper, the bulk of the prime names holding at per cent. Foreign exchanges held relatively firm. Demand sterling ad. ,vanced slightly to around 4311h and French francs were quite active around 515 cents.

COTTON SEED OIL

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-06-14

NEW YORK, June 13.-Early prices were easier, but scattered covering of July set in again and caused an up- ward reaction, the new-crop months sympathizing with the strength in July. The weather and forecast was favorable, crop reports were better and spinners' takings were small, so the steadiness of the market must be attributed to congestion in July. Whether or not there is a concentrated long interest in July ready to take any cotton rendered is not known definitely; but, if there is, they can run very pretty squeeze, as contract cotton is apparently not ob- tainable in the south, except at a cent or two higher than July quotations. If the near month continues strong, 1t will offset to considerable extent the bearish effect of good weather on the October and December positions.-John F. Clark & Go.
