SELLING WAVE a
 HITS OIL ISSUES
Utilities Show Vigorous Activities In Days
 Session Of Curb

NEW YORK, June 6.-Trading on the curb market today was featured by wave of selling in the oil shares accelerated by cut in midcontinental prices and vigorous activity of public utility shares in the industrial group.
 Several of the leading oils regained much of the earlier recessions, how ever, closing fractionally lower. Cities Service common lost IF points on the day, while a few Standard Oil issues showed larger declines on small trans aoctions. The outstanding feature of the activity in public utilities was Ap- palachian Powers rapid advance of 21 points which was attributed to running in a short position, the rise being at the rate of 2 points between sales. The mark was sharp as the advance and the stock closed at so, for gain Of 8 points. Strength also was shown by Tennessee Electric Power, which touch- ed 39, closing l F points higher on the day. Other active issues in the group were retarded by profit taking.
 Mixed changes of minor importance occurred in the rest of the industrials. The motor and radio shares moved frac- tionally.

NEW ORLEANS. June 6.-It was a weather market in cotton today and prices fluctuated in keeping with the weather and crop news alternately re- ceding and rallying as the advices proved favorable or otherwise. July continued to be influenced largely by liquidation of the. long interest. The general trend of new crop deliveries was upward. After opening at a mod crate gain July weakened under re- newed liquidation and u1doing of straddles until it traded as low as 2S.10c or 34 points below the previous close. October and new crop months eased off on a favorable weather map, October trading down to 25.00c and December 24.S0c or to 2 points net lower. All months rallied sharply when an official forecast for general showery weather accompanied by cool CT weather was issued. July traded up to 2S.62c; October 25.42c, and Decem- Der 25.20c or 52, 42 and 40 points, re- spectively. up from the low. The mar ket then fluctuated within the previous range and although July lost more than 1t gained new crops rallied we'll in the late trading. The close showed a net loss for the day of IA points on July, but net gains of 14 to r points on new crop positions,
 At the start Liverpool was about as due and there was some private re- ports which showed a slightly higher opening. The map showed little rain and higher temperatures and exerted a bearish influence but when the barom- eter lines were posted showing probability of rain and colder weather the decline was checked and the official forecast for general showers led to a good rally.

WOOL REVIEW

BOSTON, June 6.-The Commercial Bulletin will say tomorrow:
 The wool market is very dull and prices continue to favor the buyer. Manufacturers report business at the mills tapering off but are hopeful of good lightweight season, which is expected to open generally sometime next month.
 Tn the west the movement of the new clip goes on moderately with about one-third of the clip sold up to date. For the most part prices favor the buyers here, also. although Texas fine wools have kept fairly steady.
 The foreign markets generally are quiet and Bradford is inclined to ease bit. Continental finances and es- pecially those of Germany are in a perilous state at the moment and de- liVeries from Bradford to Germany are being withheld.
 "Mohair is steady on moderate de- mand."

RAIN FORECAST
 LOWERS WHEAT German Acceptance Of Dawes Plan Is Late
 Bullish Factor

CHICAGO, June 6-Wheat averaged lower today as result of showers pre- dicted for the greater part of the grain Eelt. Germany's acceptance of the Dawes plan, was a late bullish factor. The close for wheat was unsettled, ranging from ssc@1ac net decline to Ac advance, July S1.04A to 1.O43s and September $1.055s to 1.055s @%. Corn finished. 1sc to 5sc up and oats unchanged to 1a@ssoff. In provisions the outcome varied from 5c setback to q rise of 12c.
 Although the wheat market here started with an upward tendency due to an unexpected advance at Liverpool and to gossip that export bids for United States wheat had been raised, sellers were in a majority after the government forecast was issued point ing to widespread moist weather. The fact that the Liverpool market will be closed until Wednesday led to belief in some quarters that export business would be stricted and this circum- stance was more or less of depress- ing influence. On the other hand cir , constance was more or less of a de- pressing influence. On the other hand strength in the Winnipeg market
 
 there going to a wider premium over Chicago. Rallies which took place in the wheat market here just before the close were associated with Berlin news of the Dawes plan approval and with reports of European buying of United States wheat for shipment both via the Gulf of Mexico and Montreal. En- larged milling demand here and final ef. forts toward farm legisla ton at Wash ington were also \an ait to late up- turns in price.
 Temperatures still below normal and talk of much replanting needed upheld the corn market. Oats were eased by expected rains. especially in Iowa.
 Packers selling of lard made the provision market irregular.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, June 6.-Cotton had a moderate rally during the morning on weekend covering induced by the fore cast for showers all over the belt. Pres sure of July liquidation, however, was a drag on the market, so the rally did not hold, There is. said to be a big speculative long interest in July that may be liqufdated before notice day, June 25. Whether or not leading spot people will take the contracts around present differences is a question, but quite a few think they will and ship the cotton rendered abroad the same as was done last year. Private crop ad- vices from central and southwest Texas continued unfaVorable. Dallas wired farmers needed 10 days of dry weather, but 1t did not look as if they would get it. Heavy washing rains were reported from Oklahoma. Tomorrow's map Is awaited with interest to indicate W sather developments over Sunday. Ma iority sentiment remains opposed to the June weathe, will average good.-John x. Clark 6 Co.
 NEW YORK, June e.-Llverpool cables were etter, than due this morn ing and hers was a fair amount of buying in ths markets on the opening call. This vas stimulated by further demsnd for October during the first half.hour afGer the market opened. However, a Ill came over the market and found considerable long cotton, and the liqu dation of this put prices under last T yht's close. The continued iiuuidatton of July kept the market rather easy at times, yet the market today showed more resistance to selling than yesterday.

the last two months there has been considerable buying of July and selling of October. Of late this straddle is being 1ndone and naturally has mar rowed the differences between these two months. If the crop does not catch up in the immediate future, shippers will have to turn toward 'the old crop, or what is left of 1t, to fill their contracts for July sailings; and this should cause July to recover to a great extent the losses experienced in the last few days. Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, June 6.-cotton bulged early on forecast of more rains over the belt, and averaged higher than the finals of the previous day in the face of considerable realizing and some fresh short selling. The only weakness of consequence was in July, in which there was further liquidation of strad- dles. Some of the days selling was based on reports of improvement in con- dition of the crop from scattered sec tions, but the outlook for bad weather induced more covering than selling. The generally accepted view is that hot and dry weather Is badly needed everywhere and that any more rains will prove unfaVorable nearly every where they fall. We believe, therefore, that the buying side offers the best op- portunities, as the outlook Is for gem orally unfavorable weather over the week-end.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW ORLEANS, June 6.-Prospects for showery weather in nearly all sec tions of the cotton region was a sus- taining feature today. Sentiment in the north and Liverpool appears to be rather bearish, probably due to the stagnation in the spinning industry in New England, the political crisis in France, this years large acreage, the use of more fertilizer and because of the hope entertained that a good crop will be made this year with fairly good weather in the future. Compared with last season, exports from the United States this week were 57,000 Vs. 40,000; since August 1. 5,250,0oO svs. 4,293,00O, while spinner takings for the week were

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, June 6.-There has been quite a general disposition in market circles to proceed on the theory that because stocks were lower than they were few months ago that was suffi- cient reason for buying stocks. That would be a good theory if we were cer- tain that business has declined to the full extent and is ready to turn up- ward. What is there to justify such view? It would be, in our opinion, safer to proceed on the theory that the present state of trade will be reflected in poor earnings st statements which in turn will have another depressing effect on security values. We can see no justi- fication for anything more than oc- casional temporary rallies.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK, June 6.-Today's stock market was of the same sagging varie- ty, with the exception of a few public utility issues.- International Telephone moved to a new high price for 1924 at "A. The oils were weak in spite Of the divided opinion regarding the outlook, and evidently those who feel that the demand will exceed production were not in the humor to buy anything. News paper reports, which were unconfirmed regarding a prominent operator still leaning toward. the bear side, may have had something to do with the original decline this morning, but most likely 1t was nervousness over the action of oil stocks during the past few sessions that caused the unsettlement, as no matter what opinions may be the tape tells the story. American Sugar, Con- goleum and Davison were among the weakest of the industrials. In the final hour the reaction became rather severe, with United States Steel and Bethlehem making new lows for the year. ~, Taken all in all, it was a bear day, with little encouragement for the trader on the long side.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
