Hobook attended these national conventions

Teller, Thomas, Hughes ODonnell and Adams attended

NEWS STORY

More than half million freight
cars, one-fifth the freight car owner
ship in the country, are used annual
ly by the Ford Motor Company's main
plants and various branches, accord
ing to figures just given out here.
The average freight charges paid
through the Detroit offices direct to
railroads, that paid by branches ON
minor shipments, and freight charges
on direct shipments made from man
ufacturing institutions to branches
approximates s7s,2oO,OO0 annually.
Adding to this about $4,000, 900 paid
by dealers on shipments of autos re-
ceived by them, brings conservative
figure of sl50.000,00O paid every year
in freight charges through the in
, strumentality of the Ford Motor Co.
An average of $50 car loads of
freight are handled every day in and
out of the Highland Park and River
Rouge plants alone, and it is esti-
mated that on the Ford Motor Com
pany's account 5O.O00,OO0 pounds of
freight in car load lots are handled
every day in the Detroit district.
Shipping space economies, effected
through the company's unique meth
DDS, are seen in the fact that while
parts shipments to the assembly
branch plants are figured at ten units
per freight car, in rail shipments of
completed cars from the branches to
the dealers, only six assembled cars
and trucks can be loaded into a
standard 36-foot box car.
The larger part of the Ford freight
is shipped with the Detroit, Toledo
and lronton, the Ford railroad, as
either the initial or participating
carrier and especial attention is paid
to the classifying of all freight, 50
that not only the company but the
dealer as well receives the benefit of
expert services in freight classifica-
tion and rate adjustments.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-The cotton market was again a very narrow affair today, as far as trading was concerted, but prices developed an advancing trend which kept up all through the session. Trading was mainly of an evening up character, but the evening-up appeared to be altogether on the side of the shorts. July frightened up further in the process of final liquidation of the short interest and advanced 53 points over yesterdays. close, to 27.99c. Despite this and other recent advances, the near month here shows the unusual discount of 200 points under New York. New crop months also advanced, but not nearly as. much as the near month. After establishing a gain of 12 points at the start on better Liverpool cables than due, October trading at 24.22c and December at 23.99c, both months ad- vanced further during the day, October reaching 24.44c and December 24.23c, or 34 to 36 points net higher. The close was near the top, showing net gains for the day of 45 points on July and 32 to 34 points on new-erop months.
 Rather too much rain in the eastern half of the belt and more reports of weevil increase and damage were the stimulating factors as far as new-crop months were concerned. As the long interest had been pretty thoroughly liquidated, the market wore an over sold appearance, which induced covering by timid shorts.
 Three additional condition reports by private authorities were issued today ranging from 6s.1 to 69, and increases in acreage from 3.5 to 4 per cent. The average for all the,s private bureaus is 68.4. The average guess as to the gov ernment condition by 91 members of the New York Cotton Exchange is 69.

JULY COVERING
 BUOYS COTTON
Report Of Excessive Rain In South Aid
 Advance

NEW YORK, July 1.-The cotton market was higher today on renewed covering by July shorts and reports of excessive rain in some parts of the south. July sold up from 29.25c to 29.95c and closed at 2990c, or 70 points net higher. August showed net ad- vance of 60 points and later months of 9 to 3S points. The final tone of the market was steady.
 The market opened firm at an ad- vance of II to p points on higher Liverpool cables. Reactions followed some southern selling and commission house liquidation, but no July notices were reported and the market soon turned firmer. '.'
 July shorts found very few contracts offering and the strength of the near position started covering in the later deliveries, stimulated by. rains reported in the eastern belt and Rio Grande val ley. New crop months sold 33 to Al points net higher with October advanc- ing to 25.24c. The close was a few points off from the best under realizing.
 Private crop reports showed condi- tion of 6S.4 on the average and indi- cated crop of 11,455,000 bales. The average of. condition estimates by New York cotton exchange members was 69. compared with last months government condition report of 65.6.

ALL DELIVERIES OF CORN JUMP Lowest Condition Ever Recorded Is Forecast
 In Estimates

CHICAGO, July 1.-With the new corn crop unoffieially estimated today as ranking only 75.6 per cent of nor nal, the lowest condition ever recorded for this time of the year, all deliveries of corn jumped to new high price records for the season, but then quickly declined as result of prOfit-taking. Corn closing prices were easy, 1s to 4 net lower, July 96 and September 94k @94Ac Wheat finished unsettled at as@1hc off to an equal advance, July $1.15% and September $1.16Ss@ F to S1.161a with oats $@N@1c down, and provisions showing Pc to 7c loss.
 Highest prices in the corn market came with a rush of buying right at the outset. On the other hand, the days low point was reached just before busi- ness ended. Estimates issued by vari- ous experts put the 1924 probable yield of corn at 2,529, 100000 bushels to 100000 bushels against harvest of 3,048,00G,000 bushels in 1923. The fact that weather conditions were a lit tie more favorable and that cultivating was being resumed had some bearish effect.
 In the wheat market, adverse crop reports from Canada were offset by in- creasing receipts of new wheat south west and by suspicious harvest condi- tions. Meanwhile, worlds available stocks of wheat showed 9,412,00O, bushel decrease for the week.
 Oats prices reflected bearish esti- mates of oat crop improvement during June.
 Provisions were governed chiefly by the corn.

Mixed Price Movements Take Place In Days
  Trading

NEW YORK, July 1.-Mixed prioS movements took place in today's curb market, but the main trend still was upward.

STRENGTH AGAIN SHOWN IN STOCKS All So-C Called Pivotal In- dustrials Touch New
 Highs

NEW YORK, July 1.-Stock prices gave another impressive demonstration of strength today with all the so-called pivotal industrials touching new highs on the current upward movement. An increase. in the call money rate from Z to 8 per cent due to the heavy demand for funds for mid-year requirements, brought about some profit taking just before the close, but with few excep- Ntions, the reeessions were slight.
 Brokers reported that much of the demand for high grade industrial and railroad issues represented the reinvest- ment of July dividends and interest payments. An active resumption of pool operations also was noted, parti- culary in several industrial specialties. A score of stocks established new high quotations for the year, including such widely diversified issues as American Express, Kresge, Lorillard Tobacco, Allied Chemical, Texas and, Pacific, American Radiator, Utah Copper, United States Cast Iron Pipe, Railway Steel Spring, Colorado Fuel ani Loose Wiles Biscuit.
 United States Steel common was one of the market leaders selling as high as l00% and then slipping back to 100as, where it was up about point on the day. American Can and Baldwin each crossed 116 but were unable to main- tain their gains.
 Oils, motors and rubbers responded to active short coverings, gains of point or more being recorded by Cos den, Atlantic Refining, Tidewater, Texas and Pacific Coal and Oil, Stu debaker, Stromberg Carburetor, Hayes Wheel, United States Rubber common and first preferred and Goodrich.
 Kresge department stores closed 3$s points lower at 571s, and Woolworth dropped from 11S to HAS, off AK on profit taking. Montgomery Ward and Kinney touched new high prices for the year.
 Except for the gain of nearly two points in Texas and Pacific the prin- eipal railroad stocks showed only minor changes.
 Despite the firmer rates for call loans time. money and commercial pa- per. rates remained unchanged.
 A break of 15 points in French francs to 5.13 cents, which was believ- ed to reflect the accumulation of dol lars by the French government for the Japanese loan payment was the fea- ture of the foreign exchange market. Other European rates showed only nominal changes.

NEW YORK, July 1.-Cotton seed oil was irregular today, closing 3 points higher to 6 net lower for active months. Commission- house selling of October stop orders put that delivery off to 10.25c, or 21 points below yesterdays close, but the list steadied at the last on support from refiners and room cov- ering.
