ALL GRAINS RISE TO NEW RECORDS Wheat And Oats Advance With Corn, Which
 Reaches $1.01

CHICAGO, June 20 Corn, oats and wheat today all outdid prices, hereto fore, the top for the present season. In creasing unfavorable conditions for the new corn crop, together. with scarcity of supplies on hand, forced the corn market to $1.0I bushel here for No, 2 yellow corn, immediate delivery. The corn market closed nervous, IFS @2% ( net higher; September, 93A @94c.
 Wheat finished unsettled 1N @25sC gain, July $1.16, and September $1.17H @1.17ss, with oats 1a @3c, up, and provisions unchanged to a rise of 12c
 Dearth of corn and oats here was so acute that some shippers reported buy ing .t Y grain from the east The trade future deliveries of corn as. stunned large proportions and it was only as the end. of the day approached that profit taking on the part of recent buy. CTS checked the advance of prices and brought about any important down. turn. .The fact that unsettled weather was pre- acted for the entire corn belt made the crop outlook worse for corn and. oats, and indicated that. farmers were likely to tighten their, hold on re. serves of both the feed grains.
 Reports from Iowa, the biggest corn producing state. said tfe best of future conditions would be without power to overet me the lateness of the crop, wash ed out hillsides and flooded valleys Special attention also was given to Min. neapolis advices that much of the corn crop in the northwest. would hardly mature before frost
 Wheat and oats advanced with corn, but wheat showed independent strength owing to an unexpected jump in Liver pool quotations and. to word of urgent need of rain in parts of the Canadian northwest. There was evidence of con- siderable foreign buying for future de- liveries of wheat here.
 Provisions responded to the upward swing of grain and hogs. l.

JULY ADVANCES
 TO THIRTY CENTS Cotton Market Again Dominated By Near
 Months Situation =.

NEW YORK, June 26.-The cotton market was dominated by the near months situation again today. Contin. uation of the covering movement sent the price of July up to 30 cents, or S7 points net higher, but freer offerings brought reactions in the late trading with July closing at 29.47c. The gen. eral market closed barely steady at a net advance of 34 points on <July and of 6 points on August, but from 4 to II points net lower on the new crop posi- tions. :<
 The market opened steady at an ad. vance of 2 points on July, but general. ly 3 to s points lower, because of rela- lively easy cables and U favorable weather report. Additional July no tices made impression. on the market which became active as nearas month shorts attempted to cover. Strength of the July position sent October up, to 25.73c or 26 points net higher, but as soon as July eased new crops were sold on the weather and crop news. Octo' Der closed at 25.3Sc.

STOCKS MOVE UP IN CURB MARKET New Weak Spots Develop
 In Oil Group On
 Liquidation

NEW YORK, June 26.-Stock prices moved irregularly higher in today's curb market with new weak spots de- veloping in the oil group on liquida- tion apparently prompted by the gov ernment's suit against 50 of the lead ing oil companies,
 Grand Stores again was an indi- vidual feature, moving up 6 points to S1, or 19 points above its opening price of Monday. Buying apparently was based on large current earnings which are established by the company at $7 share. Hudson and AlanhatS tan moved up a point to 20 and then cancelled half its gain. Radio stocks were firm. Trading in Lehigh Valley coal certificates fell but the closing price was slightly higher.
 Southern Pennsylvania oil moved up points and gains of to 2 points were registered by Vacuum and Gas and Standard Oils of Kansas and Nebras- ka. Revival of activity in Woodley Petroleum followed the publication of a report that the company had bought in a new POO barrel well in the Smack over field.
 Bond trading again was active, with a large volume of Swiss 5s of 1926 changing hands at par.

NEW ORLEANs' COTrON

NEW ORLEANS, June 1ss-The cot ton market advanced sharply today on further short covering in July, the ad- vance carrying new-crop months up in sympathy. All the gain was lost during the afternoon, however, and th the case of new-crop months slight net loss was established. July, after ad- vancing to 2S.55c, or 51 points net high CT compared with the previous close, declined in the afternoon 62 points to 27 93c and finally closed at 2S.05c, or points above yesterdays finish. Oc- tober advanced to 24.9Sc and December to A,72c, or 2s to % points net higher, and later reacted to 24.57c for the former and 24.32c for the latter month, or 40 to fl points down from the high. The close showed a net gain for the day. of l point on July and net losses of 2 points on new-crop positions.
 The advance during the morning was due to belated July short covering and fears of a return of the heat wave in the western part of the belt.
 The reaction of the afternoon was attributed to cessation of covering by July shorts and the absence of outside buying to sustain the market. One more private condition report was issued dur ing the day, making the condition aver age 6S.4, an increase in acreage. of 5 per cent and indicated crop of Il, 200, 600 bales. 2,

 Reflecting the firmness in the spot market and the liberal movement of refined, raw sugar futures advanced 8 to 2 points. The demand was not ag- gressive, however, and prices later sold off under realizing, with the close to points net higher. July closed 3.49c; September, s.6sc; December, 3.56c, and March, 3,36c.
