PRICES PRIMER l ON CURB MARKET
Oil Shares Bought Heavi- ly On Reports Of Re-
 stricted Production

NEW YORK. June 16.-Heavy buy ing of the oil shares on reports that Oklahoma producers had decided to re- strict production imparted a firm tone to prices in today's active curb market. Prairie Oil and Gas led the advance with a gain of 512 points while Stand ard Oils of Indiana, Ohio and New York, Mountain Producers, Vacuum Oil, Ohio Oil, Imperial and South Pennsylvania moved up a point or more. Revival of activity in Woodley Petroleum following the declaration of an extra dividend of 20 cents in addi- ton to the regular quarterly dividend of 30 cents.
 Good buying also developed in the public utilities group, American Gas and Electric jumping nearly 212 points to TBS while Hudson and Manhattan moved up one. Many industrials mov- ed forward in early trading but realiz- ing sales resulted in cratic fluctua- tions, Gillette Razor was firm, gaining a point on the day.

COTTON MARKET
 IS IRREGULAR
Clear And Warm Weather In South Is Bearish.
 Factor

NEW YORK, June 16.-Conflicting crop advices from the south were re- flected by irregular pricea movements in the cotton market today &but the continuance of high temperatures in that quarter evidently led to uneasi- ness. After selling off nearly to 25.54c October rallied to 26.03c, closing at 25.95c. The general market closed steady at a net decline of 20 points on August but from 10 to 13 points net higher on later deliveries.
 The opening was easy at a decline of 24 to 30 points, active months selling 26 to 13 points net lower in the early trading because of relatively easy cables and reports of generally clear and warm weather over Sunday. The decline was checked by covering on private reports of high temperatures in the southwest but on a moderate rally there was a renewal of July liquida- tion which unsettled the midday mar ket. July sold off to 2S.45c or 42 points net lower. New crops eased only slightly, however, and the general list stiffened up on the official weather details showing temperatures of 100 degrees or more at many points in Texas and Oklahoma.
 Exports today 14,296, making 5,464, ,750 so far this season. Port re- ceipts 12,4499, U. S. port stocks 331 ,1S2.

WHEAT TRADING
 HITSNEW RECORD
All Deliveries Are On Largest Scale Since
 Last Year

CHICAGO, June 16.-All deliveries of wheat rose today to q new high rec ord for the season with trading on the largest scale seen yet in 1924. Unex- pected strength of Liverpool quotations emphasizing talk of world5shortage of supplies was largely respoRsible. Clos ing prices for wheat WIS unsettled, 1 1sc to Pc net high; Jul#s$1 .14H to $1.143s and September, ea .155s to $1.15% with corn 34c to resc up, oats ta lsc decline to 1sc gain and provi- sions showing jc to 15c advance.
 Todays advance lifted wheat prices to lie bushel above where they were week ago and if maintained would broadly imply at this season just that much advantage to the grower, what ever the profit to wheat traders in gen. eral. The reason is that the harvest will require some time before getting into full swing, although wheat all ready is being cut in the southwest. At today's top figures December de- livery commanded $1.19 bushel against SLIP a year, ago. However. profit taking sales today were of huge volume and the market n little top heavy at the last.
 Premature ripening of wheat was re- ported from parts of Kansas, but fears of damage by the heat. wave were otherwise uncontirmed. On the other hand, wheat crop shortage reports came today from export countries as widely apart as New Zealand and Roumania. Meanwhile, too, world shipments were more than 100000 bushels less than last week and the surplus on ocean massage was reduced 1 456 000 huShaIS high prices for the season. Too much rain in some sections was reported and country offerings were small. Realiz- ing sales by holders held back oats.
 Provisions worked upward with grain.

NEW YORK COTTON FUTURES,
NEW oRLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, June 16.-The cot ton market was reactionary at the start today mainly on much poorer Liverpool cables than due, but rallied sharply later on, on the continuance of the heat wave in the western portion of the belt. July, which in the early trading fell 55 points below Saturdays close, rallied A points but did not hold the improve ment and closed at 2S.40c or 23 points net lower for the day. October and December dipped 27 and 33 points at the start. In the later rally as high at 25.53c and December at 25.00c or 43 to 45 points above the early lows and held most of the improvement, the close showing net gains for the day of [ points on October and Il points on De- cember. 1s
 The comparative weakness tn July was attributed to renewed liquidation in that month based on expectation of lib- eral tenders both here and in the north ern market when the first notice day arrives.
 After the early dip shorts became ap- prehensive on account of the continued high temperatures in Texas and Okla homa and covered rather freely. Many traders fear the heat Is already injur- ing young cotton. The advance, was checked in the afternoon by reports of cooler weather and showers in Okla homa.

RAW SUGAR

NEW YORK, June 16.-An advance of Ac occurred in the raw sugar mar ket today, due to more active inquiry from refiners. Suot prices are now quot ed at 52Sc duty paid. Sales included 17,5O0 bags Porto Rican at 5.15c; 39,- 200 bags Philippines at 5.21c and at least 300,000 bags of Cuban, Philippines and Porto Rican at 5.2Sc, all to local refiners.
 Reflecting the advance in the spot market and a better demand for re- fined, raw sugar futures were firmer on covering and trade and commission house buying. Final prices were with in point of the best and from F to 1T points net higher. July closed, 3.52c; September, 5.70c; December, 3.60c; March, 3.38c.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, June 16.-The market has been fairly gaining in strength. It is becoming broader and gradually will attract public attention and public par ticipation. At present Nhea market Is resting largely on its strong technical position. That is always the case at the beginning of a rising market. At the start we have nothing calculated to arouse public interest, to appeal to public imagination, to attract gem eral buying. This comes later on when business and financial developments make plain what is at first obscure. The stock market will gradually dis count the situation and we suggest thee advisability of buying stocks.-John F.. Clark & Go.
 NEW YORK, June 16.-The majority of traders were bearish at the opening and advanced several reasons to justi- fly their predictions, the main one be- ling anticipation of profit taking after week of advancing prices. Several Refforts were made to start a selling movement, but no attention was paid Ito them, the market apparently being well able to absorb all the short sell ling and profit taking that came along. There is a growing impression that with the low cost of money mild infla- tion is inevitable. Reported steps lead ing to control of Oklahoma oil produc- stion to offset the late cuts had some lthing to do with their strength, but 1t also looks as though. the oils had been sold to a standstill. A number of spe- scialties, such as Congoleum, Caast Iron aPipe, Colorado Fuel, General Baking land General Electric, advanced under Abuying of excellent character. Lead Ing industrials in which the expected aprofit taking failed to appear, included HAmerican Can, Baldwin and United Estates Steel. Union Pacific became Btrong in the afternoon. Davison Chem Neal and Coca-Cola in which the short Snterest Is very large, were very strong Boat moved up.-Fenner & .1Beane to Kahn & Virgin.

240 MILLIONS LIQUOR
SMUGGLED INTO u. S,
Government Officials Estimate Loss
OF Custom Duties at $14I,-
100000 In Two Years

New York, March 1O.-The flow of
liquor from rum row to Long Island
and New Jersey coasts during the
past two years amounted to AGO.
900 gallons, on which the federal
government has lost Sal, 100000 in
duties, customs officials announced
today.
These figures, they explained, re-
ferred only to smuggling activities
along the Atlantic coast, and did not
include the liquor smuggled into the
country at other places.
The officers said approximately
100000 cases of liquor are illegally
imported each year on which the du-
ty if collectable, would amount to
$82,OS0,000. Estimating the value of
sn'nggling liquor at $50 case, GUS
toms officials say the smuggling oper-
ations have given the bootleggers re-
ceipts of 24O,O0O,O0O since the rum
row was established.

WATAUGA NEAR EAST QUOTA
$500

Prof. J. M. Downum of the Ap-
palachian Training School at Boone
has been appointed chairman for Wa
tauga county for the Near East Re-
lief for the current fiscal year and
will handle the campaign for that
great humanitarian organization.
Watauga county's quota is $500
which will feed clothe and educate
the 10 children who are motherless
and fatherless and who are assigned
to this county for support. So eff
cient is the work of the Near East
Relief overseas that each child can
be taken care of and given an educa-
tion on $50 year, SIS a month or
II cents day.
In making the announcement Pro-
fessor Downum pointed out that al
though the need has doubled in the
stricken bible land as a result of the
Lausanne treaty the county's quota
has not been increased over last year.
More than one million and half
refugees were driven to the shores
of the Black Sea and suddenly We're
thrown on the lands of the Near
East relief as result Of this treaty
According to the information from
the national and state headquarters
received by Professor Downum the
climax has been reached, the crisis
is over, the adult relief work is prac-
tically completed or will be complet.
ed this summer. Only the children
will remain charge on the American
people for the next few years.
There are more than $4,000 chill
dren in our orphanages in the Neal
East. In addition to these about 55,
900 are being fed daily and giver
old clothing by the women in Am
erica. These should be taken int
the orphanages but cannot be on ac
count of shortages of funds. Abou
10 per cent of the inmates are an
nually leaving the orphanages. Thi
means that unless something more
favorable will happen all of the or
phans will be taken care of, brough
up, and placed securely within tel
years.
Most of the children (6S per cent
are under eight years of age. Thi
speaks for itself.
