CORN ATTRACTS
 BULK OF. TRADE Uneasiness Over Crop Outlook Boosts Values
 Of Other Grains

CHICAGO, June 7.-Uneasiness over the corn crop outlook did much to- day to give all grain values an upward tilt. The corn market closed strong, % to 1A cent net higher, July 78ss to 7Sh, with wheat showing 1s to F cent gain, oats at &@h cent to 1a cent advance, and provisions varying from unchanged figures to a rise of 5 cents
 Traders Hooked into the corn crowd and left the other grain pits more or less deserted. With attention center ing on reports that replanting of corn on large scale was probable as a re- suit of, seed rotting in the ground, ten sion was increased by forecast of more rain and of temperatures continu- ing below normal. It was also point. ed out that the lateness of the season for corn is already so pronounced that in large sections where cultivation should at present be well under way, the planting is yet to be done. Com mission house demand for future deliv- cries broadened almost from the outset, and prices moved up rapidly, with no important setback. re
 Highest prices of the day in the corn market were current ' at the close. It was current gossip that rural holders were offering little or no corn to arrive here, and that estimates of liberal in. crease of corn acreage this year might yet be greatly changed: .et4
 With the government crop report due on Monday and with Congress still in session today, offerings of wheat proved scarce. Rains in the spring crop belt were somewhat offset too by talk of better export inquiry.
 - Oats were in urgent demand from shippers. The crop prospect was re- garded as lass favorable for oats as well as corn, Fairly good cali for meats upheld the provision market.

 NEW ORLEANS, June 7.-Fhe cotton market was narrow affair tonight, !, with light trading and moderatS range of fluctuations. July. was the only po- sition to develop any real strength. Opening points up, 1t advanced to; 32 points above the previous close; rand,i although there was a recessiop later. 1t closed two points net higher for the day. aOctober opened 3 pointk ttp snd later advanced g points more, but eased off rapidly in the late trading to 25. .12c. The other new-crop months followed the same course as October and all showed net losses for the day .pfs7.to Il points. sEsssa,@ss-,,
 It was a weather market, aithough July was supported to a considerable extent by a good demand fer spots and some shrinkage in the certificated stocks. The market opened fairly steady in the absence of news from Liverpool; that market closing on Sat- urdays during the summer months, and new-crop months rallied about 12 points when the weather map showed cloudi- ness and fair rains in the central and eastern portions of the belt. The map showed a rather serious storm disturb ance over Colorado, with indications 1t would move into the .belt, bringing rains over Sunday and probably cooler weather. The official forecast promised general showers for the entire belt.
 After. some covering by nervogs shorts the market eased off again in. the final half-hour, losing all the gain8and more besides, on the new crop positions, which eventually closed about Soc bale net lower for the day. Some advices from Texas claimed that the crop was looking better as result rof several days of fair weather and higher tenn peratures. Reports from the cotton goods markets were rather unfavorable

Spirited Rally Develops In Final Minutes
 Of Session

NEW YORK, June .7.-Moderate feetsery. took place in stock prices to- day as renewed buying, ,-of rail issues checked an early decfiney induced short covering and promoted ,a spirited rally in the final few minutes of trading. Activity was restricted in the brief Saturday trading session, sales total .hng little more than 100000 shares. s- With the momentum of yesterdays decline carried over to the opening of the market, speculative operations swers confined almost entirely to the selling side in the first hour [. En- outraged by the fact that their drive azafnse the oils disclosed little sup port, s-traders uncovered other weak suots. sirsluding independent steels, motor atd accessory shares and several public utility leaders. s.s474
 Prices 'gnappeds back vigorously in the second hour, but before the decline was arrested new low records for the year. were established by a dozen in sd1stfials, including Bethlehem, Re- public, Cosden, Skelly, Texas Com pdny, Phillips Petroleum, Tidewater, American Sugar preferred, Cuyamel sFfuit and South Porto Rican Sugar. < : Active bidding for the, rail issues provided the impetus for the second hoEy.sr advance. Southern, Railway crossed 59 to q new 1924 top price and the Fries and Katy" preferred were in demand. New buying on an active scale also came into the public utilities enabling American Water Works to get within a few points, of its recent high.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK. June T.-The market Sfspfayed a better tone today, and this may have been a reflection of be- lated recognition of the favorable news froras1he other side with respect to Germany's apparent desire to accept the Dawes plan. The steadiness in todays market was more impressive, especially in the face of the closing weakness yesterday in many of the so-called stan
 fard issues The reaction yesterday
 did not bring about any fresh Nquida- tfon: and, in the absence of sefftnE SoE this character, quite naturally 1t 9sES pressed many with the belief. that the a rather thoroughly nqufdzted position. We stiIl believe that the market will be found doubIy sensitive to developments of constructive descriptton.-John F. Clark & Co.
 NEW YORK. June L--Unsettlem in the oils and In the sugars have ere ated an atmosphere of doubt in the rnfrs6z Of the average speculators added to which we are beginning to receive bearfsh estimates on the steel tonnage report to be published next Tuesday. Some of the estimates run as high as Soo,OO0 tons decrease. Professional trad CTS also are nearly all nearisn again, and are counting on this report to stt.t further weaken the market; and, until fiji is seen how the market takes the news, 1t wiIH-be hard to form any opin- ion as to the scourse ofEthe general market. Todayts@ early trading was q continuation of yesterdays program, with further selling in the oils as bear ish leaders. It was noticeable that American Can, Baldwin and U. s. Steel stood up well among the indhstrials, while the rails continued to show evil dence of absorption, Cosden, which has been the pIvot stock among the oils lately, was offered down freely at the ouenfrR af 23iE, a new low; for the wear. lAftef the first hour the selling force seemed to have been spent and prices harden9d again. .-Fenner & Beane to Kahn 4 Virgin.

COTTON LETTERS

NEW YORK, June 2. The market to- day was a typical weekend market. with very little fresh business doing. The selling of July was not noticed today of any account. as has been the case in the last two days In fact, 1t has remained practically the same as last nights close. One of the particular features of today's news items was the acceptance of the Dawes plan by the German government, which is a step in the right direction and should aid materially in shaping the economic policy of the continent. The week just ended has experienced rather favorable weather over the belt so much so that we have had the. customary de- cline on the good weather. The pre- dictions are for a trifle unsettled weather, but at present there is no fore cast of heavy rains or anything of that sort. So it may be we are in for a further spell of good weather, in which case the market would continue to ease somewhat. However, we do not look for the market to decline, but merely hold off until another bad spell sets i'm Liverpool futures are due Mondays: July, 16.9sd, and October
 NEW ORLEANS, June 7.-Rains over the valley and eastern states and fore cast of generally unfavorable weather over Sunday stimulated enough GOV ering to give the market a moderate upturn, but values slipped again as soon as the demand from this element was filled. The map itself shows a bad storm formation in the northwest, which appears likely to bring general rains into the belt with cool wave behind. The fact that Texas and Okla homa have had dry, warm weather for the past few days and reports from parts of that state to the effect that the crop, is5sresponding to the change quickly and looks better induced many shorts to maintain their position, re- gardless of the forecast. Competent observers, who have been. over A good part of Texas and Oklahoma recently, say 1t will take good many more days of good weather to enable them to get their cotton out of the grass and fin ish replanting. The market still acts oversold and should respond easily to any more unfavorable weather.-Fen- ner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.l

SUPREME COURT
To GIVE DECISION

County Attorney f. =. Fogg re

Attorney Fogg filed brief, to-
gether with other attorneys, and the
supreme court has taken the ques-
ton under advisement
In the meantime, the ounty audi
tors all over the state have turned
the copy of the election notices over
to the printers, and as certain names
were certified as appearing upon
the notice more than once, they will
be printed to conform with the GER
tification.
However, the official ballots will
not go to the printer until about Oc-
tober 10, and all candidates who were
nominated on more than one ticket
are anxiously awaiting the decision
of the supreme court. If that de-
cision is not reached before the time
to print the ballots, no one knows
JUST nhut thC OutCOIut Will De.
The opinion of Attorney General
Conner is to the effect that the name
Of a candidate can appear but once on

signify his preference to the Auditor.
His further opinion is that if the
candidate fails or refuses to do so. |
The auditor may make the decision.

THE CHRISTIAN LADIES
BUY PARSONAGE

The Christian Church had been
without a pastor for about two years
when the present pastor came to take
charge of the work. More than a
year ago the Christian Ladies said, if
they had a parsonage they believed
they could have a pastor. When the
subject was referred to the ''Breth-
ren" they received the encouraging
word, 1t can't be done. the ladies
said, 1t can. "Then you will have to
do it," The ladies said, 'We will"
About Sept. 1, 1923, the Christian
Ladies purchased through Eimers <
Graham a building in the South West
part of the city, for a parsonage for
the Christian Church, at a considera-
ton of $500. They paid cash $500.
Then about the last of October they
made payment of $780, Jan. %,
1924, they paid $100. And on Sept
%, 1924 they made payment in full,
and received the deed for their prop
erty.
Gentlemen, lift your hats. The
Impossible" has been done. These |
ladies have done exceedingly well. |
They are happy over the result of |
their labors. Their pastor is living |
in most comfortable home, and is |
very happy. The women were the |
last at the cross and the first at the
tomb. They are still on the JOB,
working for their Lord and Master.
Brethren come in and get warm
there is plenty of room.
