COTTON MARKED BY LIQUIDATION July Sells Off From 28.99 To 28.15, Or 67 '
 Points

NEW YORK, June 5.-The cotton market was featured today by the de- velopment of July liquidation on an early advance and to subsequent re- action. July sold off from 28.99c to 2S.15c, or 67 points net lower The weakness of the near months unsettled later deliveries. October declined from 26.21c to 25.63c, or 20 points below yesterdays closing quotation. There were rallies later on covering and the market closed steady at net decline of 32 points on July, but generally to points higher on new crop months.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of IS to 19 points in spite of easy Liverpool cables and sold 17 to 3S points net higher early, with new crop months leading on prospects for showery and cooler weather in the southwest. This advance met increased offerings and the market weakened at the midday under liquidation of July longs and un- doing of straddles between July and De- tober. The July premiums narrowed from 299 points at the close yesterday to about 252 points, but at this differ ence July offerings were better taken and tks close showed rallies of some 20 to 35 points.
 Port receipts today, 7,5S5.. United States port stocks, 35S, ,7S6. Exports, 16,32O, making 5,3S3, ,343 so. far this season.

WHEAT DECLINE FOLLOWS RAINS Closing Unsettled At Net Loss Of 5-8 To 1 Is
 Cents

CHICAGO, June 5.-Showers likely to afford at least temporary relief from dry weather in portions of the spring crop area had considerable to do today with lowering the price of wheat. Closing quotations in the wheat market here were unsettled at Bc to 11sc net decline, July $1.04k to $1.O4N and September $1.05B to $1.06, with corn unchanged to ss@15c off, oats show. ing A@1Ac gain, and provisions 2 to 10c down.
 With the weather map indicating that more or less moisture had been SUD- piled to wheat fields at various places, wheat holders in Chicago unloaded for some time after the opening, and al- though the market then rallied the avail able buying power failed to last, and fresh declines ensued in the late trad ing. By some observers, weakness of the market was ascribed partly to President Coolidge's refusal to indorse a proposed substitute for the McNary- Haugen bill. On the other hand the transient rally was associated with word of export purchasing at Winnipeg and with gossip that European bids for United States wheat were about at an export basis.
 On the bear side of the wheat mar ket, some emphasis was put on the fact that Liverpool quotations had made but little response to yesterdays ad- vance on this side of the Atlantic. It was also pointed out that with harvest only few weeks away there is 2O,OOO,- 900 bushels of wheat in Kansis City, Chicago and Omaha, against 6,S0O,O0 bushels year ago.
 Announcement that the Iowa corn crop outlook was the poorest in many years largely counterbalanced in the corn market the effect of warm weather and wheat weakness. Scarcity of sup plies here led to sharply higher prices for oats.
 Provisions eased down in line with hog values.

LIBERTIES RISE
 TO NEW RECORD
Employment of Huge Sur plus Funds In Bond
 Market Reflected

NEW YORK, June 5.-A broad buying movement for the United States government obligations which carried six active Liberty and treasury issues to the years highest levels, and most of them to new high records today, re- fected employment of the huge surplus of funds in this market.
 With the supply of high grade liens depleted by recent investment purchas- ing, buyers today turned to speculative mortgages. Issues of the western rail- roads achieved unusual popularity and on gains of from 1 to 2 points, many of them set new 1924 high records.
 Western Pacific 6s and Chicago and Alton S11as each jumped points, and gains of l to 11a points were recorded by Missouri Pacific Katy" Interna- tional Great Nothern, Rio Grande Western and others.
 Advances in the Liberty issues ranged from 1 to 7-32nds. Demand was well distributed, specialists in gov ernment bonds reported, with many small investment orders swelling the large lot buying by institutions.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, June 5.-The cot ton market followed a very cratic course today, being dominated mainly by the weather, although the unex- pected liquidation of July was respon- sibie for the major part of the &C., tlvlty. Fluctuations were frequent and rather wide. In. the early part of the day all months advanced on the belief that the market was oversold and on an official forecast for showery and cooler weather In the west. July traded up to 29.00c, October to 25.3Sc and De- cember to 25.14c, or 2S to 39 points above yesterdays. close. Later July sold off rapidly under unexpected liquidation by longs and eventually traded down to 2s.1Sc, or s2 points be- low the high of the morning. New crop months were affected sympatheticalIy, October declining to 24.S0c and De- cember to 24.60c, or 54 to 59 points down from the earlier highs. All po- sitions experienced a good rally in the late trading after the July liquidati had run its course recovering g to 27 points. The close showed a net loss for the day of 2S points on July but net gains of to points on new crop months. Although the market showed a tendency to improve from the start despite the more favorable weather, the selling pressure was sufficient to force several reactions during the morning. The forecast for. showery and cooler weather in the western half of the belt after the weather map had shown generally fair weather caused a good bulge which carried prices to the high points of the day.
 The sudden liquidation by July longs was responsible for the sharp decline in the early afternoon. It was reported that big spot interests credited with having successfully carried the May deal to a conclusion were the main sell lers. This encouraged ring traders to sell the new crop positions and the whole list was soon below the closing levels of yesterday. The good rally of nearly S1.50 & bale in the final trading enabled new crop months to show a small net gain for the day, but July was still well below the closing, levels of yesterday. W t

 NEW YORK, June 5.-our market was rather steady on the opening and remained steady practically the entire morning. On several occasions it made attempts to advance, but there seemed to be lack of support to carry prices higher. Selling appeared after the noon hour and increased in view of the fact that the weather map was favor able and indications are for better The market is doing exactly what was expected of 1t; that Is, after the bullish report and the bullish news apparently was out, profit-taking took place, ac- centuated by better weather reports We look for the market to ease a trifle further, but feel the trade will buy cot ton on all these dips. Therefore, we Quence. A noticeable feature in the market today was the selling of July and the buying of distant months, which narrowed differences materially. The market will in all probability walt now for further crop news, and it's course will depend entirely on the weather the next few days. Liverpool futures are due tomorrow: July, 16.S6d, and Oc- tober, 15.1sd.--Hubbard Bros. & Co.
 NEW ORLEANS, June 5.-The cotton market experienced a temporary rally this morning owing to prospects for less favorable weather in the cotton region, probably showers in nearly all sections of the belt, but heavy realizing and some short selling occasioned a sharp decline thereafter. The late weakness was attributed to liquidation in July, which depressed the entire list. The trade will have to get along with the remnant of the old crop, the supply of which is nearing exhaustion, espe- cially in the interior; and the longer purchases of new-crop cotton are de- ferred the greater will the demand likely be eventually.
