EARLY ADVANCE LOST BY COTTON
Decline Is Due To Renew al Of Realizing And
 Liquidation

NEW YORK, June 10.-EarIy ad- vances were followed by a renewal of liquidation. or realizing in the cotton market today July contracts selling off from 2S.2O to 27.75c and closing at 27.Ssc. New crop months were rela- lively steady, however, and the general market closed quiet at net advances of ? to 26 points.
 The market opened steady atan ad- vance of 9 to 17 points. Early cables from Liverpool were relatively easy, but the market there firmed up after the local opening and prices here sold 34 to 40 points net higher in early trading on reports of rains in the south and prospects for unsettled weather. October sold up to 25.79c and Decem- Der 25.06c, but the early advance ran into considerable July liquidation and prices soon turned easier. July was under pressure of small offerings during the greater part of the day and the near months weakness pulled down new crop positions, but the last prices were well up from the lowest on covering, with October closing at 25.60c and De- cember at 24.S7c.
 Exports today, 3,276, making 5,409,- 633 so far this season. Port receipts, I,766. Stocks, 351,777.

WHEAT JUMPS
 ON CROP REPORT Price Rus hes Upward Nearly Five Cents
 A Bushel *

CHICAGO, June 10.-Wheat went up. with rush today nearly 5c a bushel. The impetus came from fur ried buying due to the government crop report indicating that the United States would have but little wheat to export this season. Closing prices for wheat were strong, f to 4Ac net higher July. $1.OSA to10Sas and September $1.09% to 1,10, with corn ss to 2% up, oats at 34c to 11s@1A gain and provisions varying from % decline to a rise of 12c.
 Most of the big advance in wheat yalues,. the liveliest seen in many months, took place almost as soon as trading began, but the tip-top was reached on a fresh wave of buying just before the finish. The government re- port as to winter wheat showed so much greater loss than had generally been looked for that the trade was taken by surprise. Heavy selling to real ize profits led to only moderate re- actions from the bulge in prices and the demand expanded with sufficient energy to force the market to equal the high est prices yet touched this season by the December delivery.
 Foreigners were said to have had a considerable share in the purchasing that so suddenly lifted the, wheat mar ket. They also were credited with hay ing taken future deliveries on a hber- al scale, as well as acquiring wheat available for immediate shipment. Other buyers included eastern houses that of late had been doing little in the mar ket. Miscellaneous purchasing too was of unusual extent.
 Corn and oats responded readily to the rapid upturn of wheat. Continued cold wet weather was an additional bullish factor, sending December corn to/a new high price record for the season.
 Despite hog market weakness,l pro- visions rallied with grain.

VIGOROUS RALLY

Flood Of Surplus Funds Finds Employment
 In Market

NEW YORK, June 10,-Bond prices rallied vigorously today as Wall streets flood of surplus funds found employ ments investment market. Spirited trading in the final dealings carried the average price of domestic issues into new high ground for the year and sent several foreign and United States government obligations, as well as nu- merous popular railroad liens, to new 1924 top prices. ,"
 Although profit-taking tendencies cropped out at times, the prevailing rate of 2 per cent for call money and the drop in short time loans to 3h per cent imparted a strong undertone to the market from the start. Reports that $17,0O0,000 was being offered on the. stock exchange at 2 per cent with out finding takers was given color by the brisk activity in the final hour of bond trading when all types of invest ment securities were snapped up at rising prices. Total sales exceeded $1S,- 100000, one of the largest volumes of any day this year.
 The high levels attained by govern ment issues diverted a large portion of today's buying orders into the rail- road list. The treasury 4hs, however, established new record high price of 103.14 and the liberty first 4Ns sold at 1924 top prices. Other issues how cred around recent high levels.
 Broad buying of railroad mortgages, mostly of a speculative character, brought a variety of these issues to peak prices for the year. These inc cluded Western Pacific first 5s, Gen. tral Pacific As, St. Louis and South western As, Northern Pacific 3s, St. Louis Iron Mountain and Southern 5s and New York, Westchester and Bos- ton 419s. Substantial gains also were recorded by New York Central, New Haven, Seaboard, Kansas City South ern, Missouri Pacific, Erie and Katy" issues.

NEW OhLEANS
 NEW ORLEANS, June 10.-The cot- ton market today was again almost al- together weather affair, although the trend was upward in contrast with the drift of sentiment the last few, days. July, however, was influenced entirely by further liquidation of that remain ing old crop position. After trading at 28.05, or 35 points net higher, July eased off finally dropping to 27.5s, or Al points down from the high, and F points under the previous close. In new crop months, on the other hand, the opening trades, although showing gains of to points, proved to be the lows of the day, as October, late in the morning, traded as high as 24.93, and December at 24.71, or 31 points up from the early lows, and 36 to 3S points net higher. Some of the gain was sacri- ficed during the afternoon, but the close still is showed net gain for the day of Il to q points in new crop months, but let loss of points on July.
 The moderate reaction of the after noon was attributed mainly to more favorable private crop news and dis turbing European political advices, principally the ministerial crisis in France.

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, June 10.-Stocks drifted along in the morning without much change, although there was some selling by traders who anticipated drop in prices after the publication3of the U. S. Steel tonnage report. As a matter of fact. the figures showing a decrease of about 580000 tons were about as expect ed and it had been pretty well dis counted. The demand for stocks during the past few days has been so steady that it soon became evident that the report, while bearish, would have no effect, and the shorts became increas- ingly nervous as the supply became smaller. The market appears to have turned upward; and, with money at the lowest rates in years, 1t is only natural that huge amounts should seek specu- lative investment. U. s. Steel gained 1A and American Can nearly a point. The rails showed numerous advances, with Texas Pacific, New Haven and St. Louis and Southwestern all active. The oils gave better account of them selves, especially Cosden, which gained about IF points. A few specialties were also advanced from fractions to a point or more. Coco-Cola gained about one point. Total sales, 547, 100 shares.-Fen- ner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
 NEW YORK, Juno 10.-Again we have evidence of the stability of the stock market in the fact of a discourag- ing condition, prices generally ignor- ing the. steel tonnage statement, a statement which clearly indicates the degree of contraction to which indus- try his been subjected In fact, the outstanding feature of the past three weeks has been it's disinclination to de- velop weakness while being bombarded from all sides with bearish news. The obvious inference is that liquidation which would be influenced by existing conditions, has been completed and the market placed in Q receptive mood for future developments.-John F. Clark and Company.
